Odd Taser Events in Florida for 2008

The Associated Press in Tampa has added a couple of odd Taser stories to their list of weird stories for the year:

"In another strange animal story, if Plop Plop the emu could talk, it probably would have shouted, "Don't Tase me, bro!" That's exactly what Bay County deputies did to trap the large, escaped bird. A Hernando County deputy used a Taser on a 450-pound wild boar that was rooting up shrubbery.
It seemed to be the year for odd Taser news. A Pinellas County deputy was suspended after he tried to wake up an inmate by crackling his stun gun, a Hillsborough County deputy was charged with using a Taser on his wife and Tallahassee police Tasered a 40-year-old man walking his dog in the nude."
