Altercation at Terminal 2

[TheBlueCat]

Secondary tasers are used all the time, you fool!

So you'd rather a kick to the head to bring about a better solution??

Jog on.

Where did you get that from? You are misinformed or a chancer… Either way you are just a gobshite …. Bye…

I too thought Tasers were a two shot device, is that wrong?

It is, it’s a one shot deployment in the UK.

 

[mosssideblue]

It is, it’s a one shot deployment in the UK.

Not with a second discharge through the same wires?

 

[mosssideblue]

It is, it’s a one shot deployment in the UK.

Was interested so looked this up online. The UK uses a twin cartridge type, allowing a second deployment should the first miss. It also says that multiple charges can be sent through the deployed wires (assuming they are still attached to the recipient)

So it would’ve been impossible to use his taser on the lad on the floor
That should count in his favour hopefully

 

[Bez]

you only have one shot with the taser with two dangerous men in close proximity

Let's see what the investigation concludes. All I have given is my take on things having seen the videos. If the police officer is cleared you are right.

How do you conclude that

 

[Bez]

Just how do you avoid a street fight when two wankers are beating shit out of you, jesus at times I despair

[bluemc1]

How do you conclude that

Well if he’s used it once on the big lad how does he now attach it to the lad on the floor ?

 

[mosssideblue]

Twin cartridge allows a second firing?

 

[bluemc1]

Twin cartridge allows a second firing?

Ah I’m thinking it’s one wire with one attachment but you can send a shock down it a few times once attached

 

[ballbag]

Seen both videos now. The cop was still too heavy handed, but I'd have volunteered to kick the **** for him tbh.

 

[Drewmanc]

Twin cartridge allows a second firing?

It was be reloaded, depending on type of taser

 

[mosssideblue]

Ah I’m thinking it’s one wire with one attachment but you can send a shock down it a few times once attached

I’m no expert on tasers ( nuc weapons more my bag :)), but was interested in how they work. Twin cartridge I assumed to mean two separate shots of wires. Yes, multiple shocks can be administered if culprit still connected

Whatever happens and whatever people's personal views on it, they will all be charged, the police officer and the wankers involved. Whether the bobby is convicted at court of assault will be for a trial and jury, but at the end of it the bosses of GMP will sack him, and site a breach of the code of ethics for the reason, and put a statement when they do it that will say something very similar to, and mark my words on this, 'the importance of retaining legitimacy and public confidence'. They wont want to risk any lingering debate on the issue, and so that will be the outcome. Im not expressing an opinion on that, just stating what will happen

 

[Blue Til Death]

How utterly stupid this position is!

You've chosen the position that a kick and stamp was better than a second taser!

LOL!

All logic has left this discussion!!

No it hasn’t, I think he should have deployed the second taser, straight into the scrotes face..!

You may or may not be right but I fear for his safety from now on

 

[lazerblue]

i reckon the police should have stopped fighting before the boot to the head, gone for a brew and filled in a risk assesment form which would have provided them with the likely outcome of the different options they had then resumed the battle and booted him twice

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Curiously, you don't deal with the logical aspect of my question.

The officer knows there is a first taser deployed as the assailant is immobilised. The situation is 'contained'. So, if unsure because of movement, why not deploy a second taser from safe distance before engaging with handcuffs?

Enacting a kick and stamp is not clear minded action.

What if the officer doesn’t know a first taser has been deployed as his spectacles have been knocked from him in the melee? If you look at the video he arrives on the scene wearing glasses ….theyre knocked off him when he’s being punched and I think the video shows this.

Now I can only speak from my own experience here and know I’m blind as a bat when I haven’t got my bins on…
