The British Police have never been armed, except for tactical firearms units.
Everytime the issue of firearms for everyday use was raised, it was slapped down as unneeded/unwarranted/provocative.
So a safe alternative has slowly been introduced.
Tasers.
Today, after reading that in 2013 Tasers were used 10 380 times shocked the hell out of me. I'm just glad these bozos didn't get the real thing.
You have to ask, how the hell do you go from no offensive weapon, to 10 380 deployments in one year?
Among the people it has been used on( I have read several reports on this)
12 & 13 year old boys
An 11 year old girl, to save her from hurting herself?
A man in custody in the cells
And the creme de la creme,
A blind man, whose white cane was deemed to be a samurai sword?
I wouldn't pay these planks in washers.
The porker who shot the blind man, was just made to apologise? :? Me, I'd have sued the **** off them. - [url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2590703/Police-use-taser-gu
