Thanks to the guys over at Gawker.com for digging up this wonderful piece of footage.
For whatever reason, Edmonton Global TV News Reporter Olivia Cheng decided demoing the effects of being shot with a taser gun would make for a great segment. Unfortunately, she was right, but only because she steps up and takes the hit herself.
Cheng volunteered to take a hit from the taser gun, though elected only to take a 1/2 sec burst, as opposed to the usual 5 sec burst, and considering she can’t weigh more than 120lbs, the 1/2 sec shot was plenty.
I don’t know what it is, but there is just something gratifying about watching a reporter get nailed with a taser gun, even if it is only for a 1/2 sec.
Watch Oliva Cheng get shot with a taser gun after the jump.
This is even better considering Olivia is now an Entertainment Tonight personality in canada and an up and coming actor. she was in the robert duvall film broken trail (golden globes)
