Kersplosh Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Oh dear, what happened to "...telling people to reserve judgement until they or some independents can view CCTV footage." A bit like Hillsborough ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RootsBooster Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Maybe He mistook him for this samurai http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&biw=1525&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=ab4ftfwP0dpa3M:&imgrefurl=http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/creative-toys/cesar--dekker-cesar-uk-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-leonardo-deluxe-playsuit-5-7-years.asp&docid=bwCNK3JTyrFbyM&imgurl=http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/ce/cesar--dekker-cesar-uk-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-leonardo-deluxe-playsuit-5-7-years.jpg&w=300&h=300&ei=n_F-UNLNO-G90QX8qIDoCg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=1257&vpy=31&dur=1794&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=141&ty=138&sig=101262372137524374575&page=1&tbnh=130&tbnw=130&start=0&ndsp=25&ved=1t:429,r:16,s:0,i:114 Now it makes perfect sense!. That's a ninja not a samurai, are you blind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Bearing in mind the copper has been told by an eyewitness that it is a sword and he won't want to waste time or take a risk by walking up close to examine it he probably did the best thing for his own safety. There is youtube footage of cops being attacked by people with machetes and swords, watching that might make it clearer why this copper had a shoot first, ask questions later approach. If you've ever seen a Katana in real life, and a white cane, you will know that the two can EASILY be differentiated between from a safe distance.

RootsBooster Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 "It then became apparent this man was not the person we were looking for and officers attended to him straight away" Are they saying there actually WAS a swordsman somewhere but they had got the wrong man?

Phanerothyme Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 "It then became apparent this man was not the person we were looking for and officers attended to him straight away" Are they saying there actually WAS a swordsman somewhere but they had got the wrong man? Yes, they were. And yes, they did. We remember when they get the wrong man, because they usually shoot them dead, sometimes with multiple point blank shots to the head. The blind man was lucky just to be tasered, he should be thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Until police prove they are fit to carry tazers, they should be taken from all of them. Has the officer concerned still not been suspended from duty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If you are caught with a taser in your possession then you will probably be charged with an offence under S5 of the Firearms Act (1968 ) If - as Sir Robert Peel said in Principle 7 - “... the police are the public and the public are the police" then why is a policeman who uses a taser against anybody at any time not suspended from duty and the incident subjected to a full enquiry?
