Is a police taser a one time and done or can you use it more then once??
Newer models have 2 shots before needing a reload, with virtually unlimited drive stuns, in the context of tussling on the ground.

Also, if the probes stay attached you can re-apply the taser as many times as you want. Most current models have a 5sec cycle. It is NOT recommended to re-apply but situation dictates may require further application.
Most times you should be one and done, and suspects do die (rarely but it happens) from multiple applications.
I have seen rare occurrences where multiple applications were necessary for the suspect's safety (i.e. they would face lethal force next).

These are expensive and haven't really been adopted widely. From what I understand, there's only a couple cars equipped with it as a testing platform because it was provided for free by the manufacturer.
Looks like his demo is paying off....
I saw these when they were being prototyped and I was impressed, but knew that adoption was gonna be an uphill battle. Good to see it's actually being used more frequently.

Details coming out about the Halifax shooting last year
The guy had a fake patrol car that they had trouble identifying. His spree lasted for 13 hours over two days yet the RCMP didn't think alerting the public would be a good idea
“I get a text message from a friend at 11:25 telling me of the direction to stay inside and lock doors, and that there was an active shooter in the area,” said McCulloch. “She received a call from a friend of hers who had family who were RCMP members, and they conveyed a private alert to their loved ones.”
“So that’s how I learned of the mass casualty event — not through Twitter, not through Facebook, not through Alert Ready, but because I was lucky to have a friend who had a member of the RCMP as a family member, who was alerting their loved ones.”
RCMP officers have told the inquiry that had police issued a public alert about a killer driving a replica patrol car, it would have caused a "frantic panic" among the public and put officers in danger. RCMP have also suggested 911 operators could have been overwhelmed by callers seeking information about the killings on April 18-19, 2020.

PG county shot/killed a mayor's dog, and invaded his house, because someone used his address as a drop for drugs..... They intercepted the package, then used a cop to deliver it... They then tackled the mayor, ransacked his house, shot his dog, etc. One of the dogs, a golden retriever, was chased down and shot in the back, as it was running away.... The report said it was 'justified', because a loose dog is a potential threat....

As Osceola County deputies were attempting to arrest Jean Barreto, 26, at a gas station on February 27, an explosion erupted which burned 75% of Baretto's body and injured several of the deputies, according to Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez.
Deputy David Crawford is charged with misdemeanor culpable negligence after he discharged a Taser near gasoline before the explosion, Lopez said at a news conference.

Nine full-time officers for a town that stretches six miles, has no traffic lights, and has a population of 1,253 people is “far larger than average.”
According to the 2018 FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR), the average size of a police force in the southern United States was three officers per 1,000 residents. As of last year, Brookside had one police officer per 144 residents
As of January 2021, the department announced via Facebook that it had hired six more officers, in order to “expand our dedication and commitment to provide superior community service & protection.” The Facebook page is no longer available to the public
The lack of transparency does not stop there. While Chief Jones and Mayor Mike Bryan claimed that “neither the town nor the police department relies on the revenue” police officers bring in, audits by Philip Morgan & Co. showed that the town was indeed dependent on the ticket money
From 2018 to 2020, spending on police alone increased 560%, from $79,000 to $524,000. The correlation is reason for causation, for total arrests (custodial, misdemeanor, and felony) rose 1,109% from 2018 to 2020
Additionally, the BPD issued more than 3,000 citations in 2020 – a 692% increase from 2018
The revenue that was brought in increased overall town spending 112% from 2018 to 2020
