I blame TV

How the fook can a member of the public mistake a blind mans white stick, for a samurai sword?

I've Just heard on the news, on that wireless contraption, how the Police have apologised to a blind man for using a taser on him in an incident, where it was reported he had a samurai sword, whilst walking down the road. more here >>>>>> http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-19979184

Talk about breeding a brain dead society, the suits are surely winning!!

For fook sake turn that eejiot box off, better still get rid of it, it's not called programming for nothing you know!!

You've just reminded me Sandy, I haven't caught up with todays episode of "Sea Patrol"...now where's that remote.

"There is no conclusive medical evidence indicating a high risk of serious injury or death from Tasers."

Which sounds all well and good until you read the caveat:

"… in healthy, normal, nonstressed, nonintoxicated persons."


I am against the Police Force carrying tasers with a pash. I don't see how they can be carried whilst a decent portion of the population is at risk of death from their use. If the police are that worried (which they're not), then get back up. If someone is carrying arms, then get the gun squad.

aw, but then you wouldnt get the 'funny' youtubes of people pissing themselves!

And that's the point with Tasers. The perfect unfortunate death, and an almost puritan 'they deserve to die if they are troublesome, and pissed'... no more than freaks and wierdos who shouldn't be roaming the streets.
This country is sliding down the wrong path. But don't complain as a million or more of us will be on Saturday in London, or you'll get the treatment, and what's more you'll deserve it, according to the meek Plympton cap doffers at home in their semis cheering on the authorities .... until they start coming up their own Avenue..

You just stay at home and watch your tv and take your pills. You'll be alright then.

Good luck for Satdee Penz.

Enjoy getting kettled around by the Feds, out of sight, out of mind of those who pretend to care.
