So the bloke had a sword or not then? If he did, regardless of whether he's missing a leg, he's blind or he votes Tory I'd rather he was prevented from running round threatening folk with it...

Unless you can corroborate it I don't believe it.

That's what I'm doing asking here, I've been out and about today, just caught that news gem in between two punctures, a massive M/Way jam and leaving my laptop in the puncture repair dudes thereby having to return to the M/Way jam, it's been one of those days..

[i]So the bloke had a sword or not[/i]

cunningly disguised as a white stick with a rubber end on it.

these blind people are tricky coves.

it was in chorley, my mate is on armed response there, just been chating to him.

Ok sorry, i did look didn't think to search on irony, nothing came up on tasar either..

😆

hang on, hang on just a minute

A man carrying a samurai sword was later arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly.

Thats ok then , was an honest mistake 8) 🙁

[i]nothing came up on tasar[/i]

I think there's not many posts about the pre-revolution Russian monarchy 😉

In fairness grumph, you were the one who wanted a sword walking cane. Maybe plod found out and is doing a systematic cull of all old people with canes of any description!

To be fair, I'd want to be armed if I was going up against a blind man- they've got sticks and they're quite handy with them.

Yep not doing well in the spelling stakes lately either, clunker = klunker, tasar = taser, I shall have to take myself in hand later. 😉

Where the hell did you read that?

True as it may be, I can't recall confessing to it, missed one down in Rye at an antique place not long ago.

Have to be careful now, better not paint it white and travel up North.

But seriously that Plod, he should be taken outside and executed by having black pudding chucked at him in front of his entire family and their shoe box burned t't ground.

I shudder to think at the accidental carnage that could ensue if there was a hanging as well.

they'd pick someone with a wooden leg, no doubt.

Hows about; don't knock around tazing people unless really necessary?

"I saw"

"but only last month did you not taser a blind man with a stick you mistook for a sword?"

"Um ok yes that would be me, an error of judgement"

"So there was judgement but you failed to see the man was impaired and it was a white stick, ie tapping the ground rather than waving it in the air"

"OK fair cop I didn't see anything"

I would love to be able to support the police but christ you do not do yourselves any favours.

they should get that copper and tazer him, then he can know what it feels like, thn sack him

We can't really blame a bunch of plebs too much, can we 😉

I bet he didn't see that coming.

I reckon we should break into every blind person in the countrys' house and switch their white sticks for various medieval offensive weapons, that'd show 'em

Just checked the guy out on the evening news, the white 'stick' you'd have to be a total moron, nay partially sighted moron to confuse that little thing stick he was filmed using, hunched as he is, to consider a)It was being used in a threatening manner and b)It even remotely resembled a Katana (Samurai Sword).

If they don't sack this fella, then Plod is going to continue to rank right up there with bankers, lawyers and political scum in the hearts and minds of those they would police.

Remind me of the educational qualifications required to join the police.

None ?

And as has already been pointed out, it could be worse

Where the hell did you read that?

Boards forum, circa 2005. Think it was mid way through an argument over tushingham, starboard and über pimp Basher. Anyway, you've stalked me across sailing forums and riding forums ever since 😉
