Think the US police are a bit hasty with their tasers? The UK police do it better...
 

And 'accidentally' zap you in the bollocks :Oh crap


Taser accidentally discharged into Somerset man's groin

A Somerset man is seeking legal advice after a police officer accidentally discharged a 50,000-volt Taser gun into his groin.

Peter Cox, 49, was hit with the stun weapon after being stopped on suspicion of driving a BMW without insurance in Bridgwater on 13 July.

He has denied claims that he had been acting aggressively.

Avon and Somerset Police admits he was shot accidentally and said an investigation was under way.

Mr Cox said he had seen a patrol car following him and pulled over at a friend's house, where he was doing landscaping work.

The officer pointed the Taser at him for a few seconds before lowering the weapon.
Missed genitals

At this point it discharged, hitting his groin and ankle but narrowly missing his genitals.

:2 cents: Probably his own fault for having all those tattoos...

If he was in Oakland, they would've shot his nuts off.

Why the hell was he tased in the first place? Why did the idiot cop have his taser out to begin with? Is that how cops approach people they suspect of driving without insurance?


What the fuck is wrong with the minds of the police? What kind of shit are they drinking at the stations these days?

he looks definitely suspicious

Shit happens... :2 cents:

Key questions.

I don't know if it's being introduced as a general do as you're told or i'll zap you tool and I can't remember if the nosy policeman that turned up here to see me a couple of weeks ago had one on his belt or not.

The no insurance thing is usually called by the car now. They are fitted with a camera and check every numberplate they see against a database of insured cars then it tells the driver. All I can guess at is that he got out of his car and was a bit aggressive.

Dude, c'mon you can't seriously mean that?

In this day and age people are still judging a book by its cover?

I couldn't care less what he looks like, how and why in the fuck was a taser even pointing
at the guy for what seems a routine stop?

I do like most of your posts, this just caught me off guard.

penis on a stroke, poor guy still, police is dirty!

Do you live in Somerset ?

Looks like a thug to me, probably deserved it anyway

No, I didn't. Was a reference back to Amp being picked on for looking in a shop window - maybe too subtle :)
