ICE agent in Minneapolis killing identified as 10-year law enforcement veteran

46. Tasers don't always work, unfortunately.

Both probes have to make contact with skin for it to work, so if one gets hung up in clothing it'll be ineffective. I've seen bodycam videos of that, along with some videos where both probes hit bare skin but there's still no effect. One video showed a guy with his shirt open, bare chest and belly exposed, and even though both probes hit his chest nothing happened.

In the example of Munoz, I would expect it would have the latter result since a Taser hit causes uncontrollable muscle contractions. I suppose if his abdominal muscles contracted strongly enough it might have lifted his foot away from the pedal. But a Taser hit for sure doesn't cause muscles to relax.
