WEBVTT - Introducing - Absolute: Taser Incorporated

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of cops. I've heard a lot

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of their stories, and they get asked all the time,

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:15.480
<v Speaker 1>have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the

0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>future where the answer will always be no. Get her

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>a new space age weapon that stuns but does not kill.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 2>We have saved an estimated two hundred thousand or more lives.

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>The initial response was that's not real.

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.919
<v Speaker 3>No, that's not real. And so the first thing they

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 3>did we got there, no introductions, made, no nothing. Okay,

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 3>everybody line up and they shocked us all and then

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 3>at that point they had our attention.

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh down like a box of rocks, full neuro muscular incapacitation.

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 3>If your local police officers are not get armed with tasers,

0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 3>chances are they will be soon.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Across the country.

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Cops called this taser the revolution.

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Tasers saving lives.

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 2>That's the business that we're in.

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:08.839
<v Speaker 1>We're protecting the truth and we're protecting lines.

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.679
<v Speaker 2>Every senior employee this company has been hit with a taser.

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Many of our wives, many of our children have been

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>hit with tasers. So we believe this is the safest

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.759
<v Speaker 2>way to get a violent person under control. That's huge.

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>We're very proud of what we do and it is

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 2>like a religion to us.

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, they talked out of both sides of their mouth,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 2>so it depended on which side of their mouth you

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 2>were on.

0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 1>And for my friend, Officer Matt Masters and his wife Stacy,

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>the consequences got personal. On the ground, Ah told you,

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>hands on your back.

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 2>There's a fire truck there and ambulance there, and of

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>course we walk up to the scene.

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Of course, you know, the cops are like.

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Get back, you know, and You're like, do not touch me,

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 3>you know.

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, that's my kid.

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 3>I get right back there.

0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>And it's bad.

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>It's really, really really bad. From Lava for Good and

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>itself to one visionary mission making the bullet obsolete. This

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 1>is absolute Season one Taser Incorporated.

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to start by addressing a couple of questions

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 2>we've been receiving. The first one is our chest hits

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 2>with the taser dangerous and the answer to that is definitively.

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>No cops believed everything, everything that Taser told me.

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 3>We're not talking about a bunch of electrical engineers here,

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 3>We're talking about a bunch of cops. They said, We've

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 3>now warned you, and if you do this, guess what

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 3>it's on you.
