“Sometimes the probes just don’t connect. Whether it’s clothing, whether it’s the drive of the person, there’s just a number of different ways. Some people, they don’t feel that pain for whatever reason,” McKinnon said.

In general terms, she said a Taser is used by police in three ways: as a coercion method, where the sight and sound of the electric arc may induce compliance; as a “dry stun,” where the contacts hitting a person’s body may be painful enough to allow them to be taken into custody; and, through an energy arc that temporarily creates “neuromuscular incapacitation.”

The man then armed himself with a knife and a rock and ran into traffic along Notre Dame Avenue, confronting people and yelling, police said at a press conference Wednesday.
