Tough old dude....

I don't think I want to mess with this old man...the officer is a little off but should be back on his feet soon. You know he ain't hearing the end of it from his work buddies....

San Jose suspect fights through Taser, breaks officer's nose - San Jose Mercury News

An enraged suspect fought through a Taser shot and then punched a San Jose police officer in the face, breaking his nose, before finally being arrested on Christmas morning, authorities said.

Paul Pierce, 69, faces felony charges of battery on an officer, resisting arrest and hit-and-run after he was unwilling to go quietly when officers confronted him east of downtown, police said.

Police were investigating a Sunday morning fender bender in which the suspect sped off. They tracked the suspect, Pierce, to a house on 24th and San Fernando streets around 10:25 a.m., police said.

When officers showed up, they discovered Pierce had a $50,000 warrant for his arrest.

"The suspect basically said, 'No, you're not arresting me,' he basically took on the officers," said Sgt. Jason Dwyer, a police spokesman.

They shot a Taser at him, but for whatever reason it didn't slow him down, leading Pierce to break an officer's nose with a punch. Pierce is 6 feet and 220 pounds.

"The Taser isn't 100 percent effective all the time," Dwyer said. "Usually it is, but every once in a while people will fight through it or it doesn't penetrate heavy clothing; there could be a lot of reasons."...

A radio morning show called Walton and Johnson likes to review local discharges of Tasers to the tune of Shock the Monkey. After that a man called in and went over his experience. "Guys, the first one hit me and one of the needles didn't go in and I screamed something at the cops like 'that all you got'...and then they fired the second one and both needles hit me that time. I never felt pain like that before or since..."

Not a perfect weapon but a good thing to have in the arsenal.
