Tasing A Jumper Turns Out To Be A Bad Idea

Ok guys, I think it’s time for everyone to put down the Taser. Police in New York attempted to subdue a jumper by shocking him with some high-power voltage. But before we get to that part of the story, we should go back to where it all began: in the ladies room of the Department of Social Services. The man was originally found pleasuring himself in the bathroom, much to the dismay of a woman who walked in on him. She quickly called the police, but the man took off and made his way to the Brooklyn Bridge, where police found him walking in and out of traffic. Officers tried to tackle and subdue the man with brute force, but failed miserably. Then one of the officers whipped out a Taser and fired. That too fail, as the man escaped and hopped on to the bridge’s exterior, stripped down butt naked and jumped. So far the man’s body has not been discovered, but I can guarantee heads are going to roll for an attempted Tasing of a suicidal guy on a very tall bridge. Good job NYPD.
