snoons,

Officers deployed a conducted energy weapon

What a funny way to say taser. My first thought was they had laser pistols or something.

“Damn, we must really be living in the future.”

weew,

It’s because TASER is a brand name. Also TASER is short for Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle.

snoons,

Yeah, I thought as much lol.

Well that, but also a laser/plasma pistol would be a projected energy weapon.
