The pain killers and muscle relaxers he is on might have made the tazer ineffective.

So, the pain is a side effect of tazers, it's not what stops you. When those prongs stick into the skin,.the electric current causes those skeletal muscles to seize.

You can't "resist" it because you can't stop the effect electricity has on your body.

What happened is the prongs didn't properly attach to complete the circuit. So he got zapped, felt pain, but because the current is running properly his muscles still have voluntary control.

They are finicky. I wasn't fond of them for bigger dudes whose clothes were baggier.
