Some might say that assaulting a police officer with a sledgehammer is the sort of behaviour that comes with a prison sentence attached, even before you get to the bit where someone gets badly hurt.
It was not a serious injury. The police office walked into and out of A&E. It was so minor it couldn’t be seen on Xray & was later found on an MRI. The officer was treated with paracetamol.

What is it with all these non-UK associated accounts with a sudden unhealthy interest in British policing.

Respectfully for X to remove posts, you really have to step over the line. There were many others. ‘Time’ is using a term for persecuting families by AH. WTAF. Is this what we’ve come to?

Call comes in saying ‘X’ you have a mindset, ‘X’ is confirmed at scene & unconscious bias kicks in. Offences involving racism or DV require positive action & the incorrect action is taken. the pendulum has swung too far, police are hamstrung & politics is too involved in policing

Well, rather sad to say, I don’t think it’ll just be five Police Officers leaving based on my DMs… 👀
Firearms permits handed in, driving tickets given up, and Tasers handed back in too. 😮
This is all avoidable, but Police Officers are truly losing faith. 🤦🏼♂️

So our plan for retirement. A lap of Oz in a motorhome, so dipping our toe in the water by spending a week in South Island NZ to see if we like it & each other enough to stay long term in a motorhome. Either way, #NZ is fabulous. #TeAnau #Glowworms #DiscoverNZ

Might not be deliberate but he effectively controls the ball, stops #Nottsforest from clearing it. #ManchesterUtd #VAR #WTAF x.com/simmonsballz/status/20…

Got my haircut today. Barber gets the mirror out to show me the back of my head, I nod, smile, thank him! Although I’m nearly retired, I’ve never known what I’m meant to look for. 🤷♂️

Oh holy shit - you’re actually serious.

Reminder again that these are NOT Met police officers.
They are IDF-trained Jewish vigilantes known as "Shomrim".
They operate in Jewish communities throughout Europe and North America, posing as police without any standardized training or accountability.
Community note
These individuals are Metropolitan Police officers. The Met Police confirmed their identity and released bodycam footage of the incident. Under UK law, Tasers are prohibited weapons that only authorized police officers are permitted to carry. nationalpost.com/news/world/uk-… gov.uk/government/pub…

But he’s incapacitated. He’s been tasered!

Taser whilst a useful tool is around 50% effective.

So I see that SM is still flooded with experts on Taser 🙄
So for the uneducated I will highlight a few characteristics and issues with the use of Taser.
I cannot be bothered arguing with individuals today but before I start a few points.

Oh youtube is full of videos of real life Taser fails. Which is why I say it is a poor substitute for a conventional firearm.
Some of these videos are quite amusing some are frightening.

With regards to incapacitation following the taser use, what I didn’t pick up on is if, he was incapacitated, how could he roll over as that takes muscle coordination to do. Watch the full version.

I’ve slowed footage. NB suspect bends arms up into chest & not incapacitated. Taser failed. As man assists, knife is held & head upright, he is holding wrist but knife shoots up & connects officers wrist & backs off, man secures elbow with difficulty suggesting suspect resisting
