The other cop stated that some people aren't affected by tasers at all when they are screwed up on various drugs.

These two argued for quite some time, and the debate was never resolved.

I was gonna google the answer, until I realized that I didn't give a shit.

What is the answer here?

The cop that argued that some people aren't phased is full of shit. It isn't only "pain compliance," like DAAT moves are intended for. Tasers lock up your muscles and your entire body locks up. With proper probe deployment, you're going to the ground. No matter who you are. I have seen videos of the biggest bad asses in the world getting tased. They locked up and fell over like a bowling pin.

And for the record, I have been tased. And yes, the pain is like no other.
