Afterthought:
I think it is a rather unreasonable condition of employment.
I know that, when the Amtrak Police Department first got Tasers, the training involved being Tased, so that officers carrying Tasers would know what they felt like. The idea was that they would use them more wisely if they understood the effects first-hand.
I know this because some of the classes took place in the training center where I was based.
I don’t think the same reasoning can extend to this.
