mikeyboy Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 In the case above I believe it was the wrong guy. The blind chap funnily enough had a stick that the police thought was a sword. BigMouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George. Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) I guess you could wait for him to stop thrashing around and then hit his sword hand with a long stick, or something along those lines, he’s blind , he’s not going to see it coming or hear you. What sword Enjoy abusing the deaf and blind with your long stick. Edited June 19, 2018 by George. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 In the case above I believe it was the wrong guy. The blind chap funnily enough had a stick that the police thought was a sword. Suppose if he had been holding a mobile, the police would have 'thought' (?) it was a gun, or a bag of crisps could have been explosives. Just have well he didn't have wind. They might have 'thought' it was a "gas attack" .. Maybe it's time they (the police) got regular eye tests.. George. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotsit Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 GeorgeMistakes? The man with the Samurai sword, who turned out to be deaf and blind, so he got a good tasering when he didn’t stop at the police request, mainly because he was deaf and had his back to them walking away. Police by consent is slowly becoming police by force.Here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't it great that they look after us.so well, regardless of whether we are blind people that have had a stroke. No, that doesn't hold them back, they stride in regardless.

BigMouth Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) More crap wording on my part! The police thought that it was a samurai sword, but it was a long cane. sausage! He wasn’t blind either. He was a man though! At least I got something right! Edited June 20, 2018 by BigMouth wotsit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Posted September 16, 2018 Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Bad idea to arm the police, if they had a gun they would have me shot in an instant and all for telling the truth too and that's no joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Why bother arming the police when they can already do this; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-45547219 If a "member of the public" had a dog that was "trained" (?) to do that, then they would be fined and the dog ordered "destroyed".
