After a CEW cycle ends, what might a subject do according to described trends?

• A. Wait for the cycle to stop, then pull out the darts and possibly begin to run away
• B. Immediately surrender
• C. Sit down and wait for medical help
• D. Collect the darts and place them back

Answer: (A)

When the CEW pulse stops, the person often regains motor function quickly but remains in pain and a bit disoriented. This combination tends to push the individual to get away from the source of the stimulation as soon as possible. The described trend is that a subject may wait briefly for the cycle to stop, then pull out the darts and attempt to run or distance themselves. That behavior fits the immediate impulse to escape once the electrical disruption ends, even though some residual effects linger. Other responses are less aligned with typical post-cycle behavior. Surrendering immediately isn’t the most common impulse right after the cycle ends, since the primary drive is usually to create distance. Sitting down and waiting for medical help can happen, but the tendency to move away quickly after the pulse is over is a more often described trend. Collecting the darts and putting them back would require actions the subject is unlikely to take while disoriented and in pain.
