#2 Likely to be reported using something like the following BLoM example headline.

"Innocent Black woman murdered by police, while defending herself from others"

Questions:
She did this back in early July also.
Was she confined to either mental ward, or a jail?
Or just released on the Calif Signature bond joke?

What were the color/races of her victim?
Because the media seems to have avoided those facts?

#3 Everything seems to shock those idiots at the Daily Fail. Every one of these articles is evidence that the Brits get nothing about America. I have several British friends and when they visit here they have baffled by just about everything we do.

#5 Wow, the LAPD did that? GOOD!

There is the shocking part.

Speaking of shocking, we keep seeing stories of (alleged) perps getting tased to little or no effect. There have been reports of battery problems, but I wonder if the issue is improper use or maybe people being so drugged out/crazy that the fact of being tased just does not register with their brain.

#8 Ref # 5
The long standing police policy regarding use of force has always used an "escalation of force" baseline that emphasizes the minimal force needed to effect an arrest and contain any threat.

As the news media has become more visual, technology has delivered other tools like the taser and the public has become increasingly uncomfortable with displays of police use of force. Tragically a highly effective, intermediate-level tool has virtually disappeared from view. The old-school nightstick in all its variations, has been a mainstay of non-lethal use of force techniques, most often merely by the display of intended use. The presence in an officer's hand, even in an un-threatening manner, has amazing de-escalation effects, even on highly fractious suspects.

The Rodney King videotape disaster really spelled the end of that era, and I propose a reconsideration of that abandonment.

#9 Now we have 'the baton'.
Convenient to carry but no visual intimidation when collapsed.

#10 Ah, but with a flick of the wrist and that 'SNICK' sound it becomes very intimidating. Exactly why I carry one in my truck. More than one would be perp has changed their mind after seeing it.

#11 Had some woman who was not all there wander into my factory in the industrial section of Richmond, CA. I don’t remember what she was wearing, but she was out of it and still had the little EKG patches visible in her neck area. I have a couple of daughters so I know those weren’t in fashion. She booked it before the cops arrived, but she staggered off into Injun country. She needed help, but the ER isn’t a housing unit for crazy.
