That'll do it. Cop "stun guns" you and you don't fall down. Cop, then, "real guns" you, then you do fall down.

Ya know.....If given the option of being tazed, shot with a rubber bullet, or shot with a good ol lead bullet....The question begs WHY ARE YOU BEING SHOT IN THE FIRST PLACE?
Normally the police don't want to even draw their weapons let alone use them.
But I digress....
About the issue of "shock proof" fabric...Have you seen the "probe/conductor" that the guns shoot? I'm thinking that they're still gonna hurt like a mother going in, fabric or no fabric. And if the they taze you and that doesn't work, the next step will probably be some wonderful baton work. Ooooh there's an appealing thought....

Ho, boy, where do you live?
They've shot and killed half a dozen civilians in my town - one in his living room chair!
Most police officers are frustrated music conductors anyway - baton practice is a good thing.
LOL! And there is plenty of videotape to back up your comment!

It's more fun when the cop wants to Taser you but grabs the wrong gun from her belt. And when the cop's employer gets involved, it becomes downright hilarious!

California police officer had the suspect from a minor disturbance handcuffed in the back of her patrol car. When the man started to kick at the car's windows, the officer decided to subdue him with her Taser. Incredibly, instead of pulling her stun gun from her belt, she pulled her service sidearm and shot the man in the chest, killing him instantly. The city, trying to protect its budget, says the killing is not the officer's fault, but rather "any reasonable police officer" could make such a mistake, slurring every police officer who actually paid attention to their training. The city filed suit against Taser, arguing the company should pay for any award from the wrongful death lawsuit the man's family filed against the cop.

Wouldn't surprise me to see police lobby to ban this fabric from general use, just as they've successfully banned tinted car windows in many jurisdictions. It's an officer safety issue, y'know.

If you read the website, you would know that it is sold only to police forces to prevent then from being hit with their own tazers.
If there is a buck to be made, it'll get into the wrong hands...

Great, a werable Faraday Cage. What's it got to do with wood?
... as somebody else pointed out, that's kind of a stupid idea if you happen to be one of those "wrong hands". You think after the taser doesn't work, the cop is going to throw up his hands, say, "well, you got me buddy, run along!"? More than likely he's going to pull out the real hardware and make the person fall down permanently.

Maybe you should've duct when you said that. Next time, you can avoid the shock.
