#3 Some guy in Seattle held off the entire Seattle Police Department for about 6-8 hours (this is during rush hour - Downtown Seattle street) with only a sword a while back. Finally the Fire Department manged to hold him down with a ladder so the cops could rush him.....

But that was 'sensitive' seattle....

#5 After reading the statement, he was wearing mail, that's a mesh of chain.
The Taser barbs went through the links and into skin. That works well, there's no shorting when the metal is not touching both contacts.

Plate armor would have been a good defense, no penetration, and solid plate would short the taser's current.

That said, what an idiot, this jerk must have been high on something.
