Home Secretary greenlights police to use new Taser 'within w
Discussion
We have laws that protect individual rights and rights to privacy. Yet some snowflake PC (whose delicate self image is dented when a mop refuses to produce ID when not required to by law) is viewed as hard done by. It is as if laws that can curtail impertinent police questions are resented by some officers.
Looks like a taser may have helped save this officer’s life.
“Every front-line officer should be offered the opportunity to carry a Taser, police leaders said tonight, in the wake of a machete attack on a constable.
The officer was slashed across the face, hand and arm in east London in the early hours yesterday. He survived after he managed to deploy his stun gun on his assailant. ”

Quality topic.
The Rovinghawk, SystemParanoia / Davidball troll-fest around the 'race-relations man Taser incident' who all, as usual, turned out to be wrong.
In terms of the bump I don't see a necessity for all officers to possess CEDs. Perhaps the assessment in London is a little different.

I'm guessing he tried to reason with him rather than just go straight for the taser once he'd got the blade out.

It was a routine traffic stop, he wasn't sent to reports of an aggro bloke waving a machete around, that's a job for cops with guns.
Ludicrous, the rest of the world look on in amazement, we have a two tier Police Force, those with guns, those with no guns.Children, can you guess the obvious solution ?
Serving police officer charged with murder over taser death.

It's taken over three years which is a disgrace and unfair to all involved.
There must be some quite compelling evidence to charge someone discharging a Taser with murder.
I'm not sure how they'll prove the intention to kill / cause GBH (for murder), but then manslaughter is an available alternative to the jury.

How can you murder someone with a device that, in theory, can't kill someone unless the receiver has an underlying health issue. I suppose if the PC knew the person had that issue and still used the taser it could be construed as such.
Reading the article it sounds a lot more about conduct than the device used.b
