Re: Greek riots (none / 1)

Long sticks or tasers sound sufficient to neutralize someone with a knife...

I'll let you do the long stick bit, if you don't mind?

Taser might do it, if they carry them.

When using a taser, you have to make sure your subject is being uncooperative and not just faking it because of a diabetic seizure. Of course, this warning applies doubly in Missouri where police this week subdued with a taser a seizing diabetic who had spun off the road.

I don't like tasers much either. Tasers are still deadly weapons, just less so than guns.

Irish police are still mostly unarmed. They don't get killed by violence much.

Tasers are torture tools (none / 1)

Don't support them.

Don't use them.

Nothing in the police tool kit corrupts faster.

If the law can not stop them (it could, but it won't):

Then there is no cure but to kill those that do use them. Remember, clean death (it's your honor, not theirs, they have none): Head shot is best.

But be cool: We're not there yet.

The Fates are kind.
