I got trained with the X-26 Tazer today. While the training doesn't require an officer to get nailed with a tazer it IS highly recommended. The reason? An officer needs to know first hand that it will work and that it won't cause undue suffering to the target subject. THAT is important. Despite what some people think, Cops aren't sadists. There may be a few of them floating around but in general we actually hesitate to cause somebody harm if we can at all help it. That's why cops often times hesitate to shoot someone who is trying to kill them, we don't WANT to SHOOT somebody.

As you may be able to tell I'm a little stoked about Ace Combat 6 and the fact that its jumping consoles. It was my favorite game for the PS2 and I'm happy that it is stalking my ass over to the 360. It is by far the most enjoyable game of it's genre, ar none. All of the other attempts at making a dogfighting flight sim were far too simplified to be anything other than cheap arcade games.
