"Three police officers have been injured while testing the controversial new taser guns, and now police are admitting there is a risk of injury. Three police officers recently volunteered to demonstrate the effectiveness of the taser - an electrical weapon fires two barbs into the offender with a force of 50,000 volts - at police trials. Although none of the officers suffered any lasting effects, records obtained under the Official Information Act showed that two suffered minor flesh wounds and one was dazed after falling badly and hitting his head, despite controlled conditions."
