    Oh, and OP: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/nov/25/met-london-police-taser-guns
    Their not conspiracy theorys. They actually happened. There are conspiracy theorys surrounding them but that doesn't mean they didn't happen.

    Their is no conspiracy theory involved with this thread as far as I can see. I've not seen one mention of lizard people or evil Pat Kenny plank empires.

    But aren't you conspiring to shift him sideways, thereby kicking off another conspiracy? Anyone going to so much trouble must have an ulterior motive. :eek:

    Haha...maybe your right

    Can I ask the Mods a question?

    Why is R_T_D_H being allowed to CONTINUOUSLY post conspiracy threads in the after hours forum??????

    There is a forum perfectly suited to these threads...it's called conspiracy theories.

    If I recall correctly, the charter states that posting in a forum specifically to "reach a larger audience" may result in a ban. So, the argument that not more people read AH and so he should post here does not fly. If you apply the charter, then he should not be allowed to continuously post these threads here.

    IMO, each and every R_T_D_H conspiracy thread that is posted in this forum should be deleted and/or moved to CT....and if he/she insists on continuing on posting these thypes of threads in AH, he should be given a ban.
    It's not a conspiracy theory. It's a news article.

    If you don't want to read his posts, then you can add him to your ignore list by clicking here.

    The Metropolitan Police Authority said yesterday it had no intention of immediately taking up Jacqui Smith's offer to sanction an increase in the availability of Tasers. "We recognise the potential to cause fear and damage public confidence if the use of Tasers is extended to non-specialist trained police officers and is perceived by the public to be indiscriminate," the MPA said. "There is no doubt that in some circumstances Tasers are a very effective alternative to firearms or asps [metal batons] but their use must be tightly controlled and we have seen no case made out to extend their availability."
    Damn hippy.
    People laugh at the cops because of jackasses like this.

    Bit unfair the amount of criticism of the OP.
    Conspiracy or not, I enjoy most of the threads he starts.

    I just hate the way he puts the little rolls-eyes smily at the end of almost every response. That's just annoying. Oh and I hate his threads, topics, username and probably his face as well.

    Fair enough.
    I'll just put the gun back in its holster and never force you to read any of his posts again.

    I remember a few years back a bunch of junkies started a mini riot in JD sports on henry street. Loads of the staff had to get tested for hep/hiv after. Couldn't really shoot them because anyone yawning could get blood in their mouths. police in the vicinity could have sorted it in minutes if no risk to the public. Would the ERU already have tasers?

    I think pepperspray is ideal for the ordinary police as junkie riots are fairly infrequent.

    The yanks have pepper spray paintball guns too. In fairness though the guards don't need any of that stuff they can fight as good as any knack.

    I think that they would also have to use pepperspray if ever there was a mob of rioting rubber-fetishists to sort out.
