I always said that there's nothing like the laying on of hands but them tasers were game changers for dealing with those folks. once hooked up to the taser it sure would reboot their system and they would let the spirit of cooperation come back in them. ROFL! You lawmen develop quite a way with words! Great story, Fermin! Thank you for sharing.

I had an encounter with a guy high on PCP. When I arrived to backup the California Highway Patrol officer, the perp was still in his car parked in middle of the number one lane of I-8 praying to someone named "Bill", who was expected to come help him. Seems that the Chippie had driven up and found the guy parked there. When he approached, the perp told him that he was going to shoot him, so a call for backup went out, meanwhile all traffic on I-8 eastbound was stopped and backing up a looong way.
Once I arrived, we kept our boy contained in the car until more help arrived, and eventually four of us converged guns drawn on the car and once we realized that he was barehanded, proceeded to extricate him from the car. That task was more difficult that I could ever explain. This guy had strength of the type depicted in some Sci-Fi movie.
At one point he managed to just levitate up off the pavement with all four of us on top of him, all the while trying to hit, kick, and bite us. He was given the business end of a PR24 to chew on until he had satisfied his chewing craving, which gave us a little more advantage in getting him cuffed both hand and foot, but what finally subdued him was that the Chippies have what I call a 'Piggin String", for lack of a more descriptive term.
That little item took the fight right out of him. They laced the 'Piggin string through the foot cuffs and then through the handcuffs. Once his feet were cranked up flush with his wrists, he calmed right down and returned to praying to his beloved "Bill" while we tossed him face down into the back seat of a car.
PCP is bad juju!

Oh yeah, I believe it. I remember one guy I decided to put to sleep. It was like trying to choke out a telephone pole....
We call it "Hog Tied" down here...
