I've seen some of these 'Street Cops' type programmes where tazers are presented as something wonderful - in one episode they thought they had someone with a history of violence/firearms who had gone into a shop.
They hid by the door and tazered him as soon as he emerged without even introducing themselves - it turned out they had the wrong bloke anyway.. ____________________ If you can keep your head when all about you

it seems its a lot harder for a copper to use a tazer in the US than the UK.Unfortunatley the tazer is the weapon of choice when police are given the thankless task of detaining people with mental health problems.Partly,due to the fear and ignorance about mental illness many coppers have their tazers ready and are very keen to use them for people with 'mental health ' problems.
I want one ,it could prevent me being mistakenly tazerd by police officers,The police are very good at accidentaly killing people using 'mistaken identity' ____________________ nearly a normal tax paying tosser.......with ferrileness suzi100,cg125,cb125scb100n,cb175,cd100,cj250t,kh250,c15,125 bantam,super 6,rickman gs750,xt500,250rs,dt175,lifan125,dolomite1850,metro,Morris220ld,morrisfg,leyland princess,range rover,corsa,vw camper .now struggling with legs.

The cop in question will just get a good telling off for embarrassing the force and any investigation will find his actions justified as he thought himself, or some random member of the public, were in danger.

And? Was he being violent or aggressive? Nope he was just walking along and they tasered him in the back. Scumbags, they didn't think it was a sword at all i'd wager, they were just having some chav fun. ____________________ Fzr-600 1999 |

Oh, he thought eh? That's alright then. How about you try that one next time - "I thought it was 50mph here", "I thought the light was green".
And that's not counting mistaking a white stick carried by a doddery old blind man for a samurai sword is plain ridiculous. The cop went for it without taking even a moment to look at what he was dealing with.
Fruit'n'nut wrote: | What about the man who was arrested a short distance away as a result of the same incident, and who was carrying a sword? |
Did he get tasered too? Or did the cop who dealt with him handle it more professionally?

Raffles, sunset would have been around 18:20-18:30 last weekend in the Northwest, so it might conceivably have been "twilight" or similar, depending on the street lighting conditions in Chorley. |
Thank God he didn't have a table leg wrapped in a Tesco bag, he'd be dead now.
See thats the thing about those tasers, they can be used at a distance as they shoot out the prongs AND ONLY THEN DO YOU PULL THE TRIGGER FOR THE ELECTRIC SHOCK. So the way around this is to shoot out the prongs, ask them to stop and IF they don't shock them.
I suggest you learn pretty damn quick that not everything the Police do is correct or you, as a Policeman will simply be encouraging the public to arm up and shoot first and that officer that gets shot could be you.
You Police by consent, that can stop as the last few years have shown. |
