L A Cops to lose flashlites

[burtandnancy]

Heard on the news that LA Chief of Police Bratton (sp) is taking the metallic flashlites away from his cops so they possibly won't hurt any of the dirt bags they may have a tussle with while arresting them, and replaceing them with rubber ones. Next thing will be sponge batons and knitted handcuffs!
Whats next?

You gotta love it. :D
Cops are qualified to handle firearms and night sticks but they're not qualified to operate the flashlights they've been using for the past quarter century. :D :D :D

[KACHINA KEN]

It's all just PR folks, they still hurt if they are rubber or metal :)

LA is a joke,
If some shit bag steals my car, I give the police permisson to ram my car , take that shit bag out and beat him, I also want them to call me so I can beat him.
BRATTON NEEDS TO GO BACK TO BOSTON :mad:

Remember this a joke, but don' you kind a wish you got one of these in the mail Mike VG
Official Memo from the LAPD...
Dear Citizens,
It has become obvious that the citizenry of Los Angeles views we, the LAPD, as the greatest threat to your public safety. As such, we will be implementing some new policies effective immediately:
1.Race riots- We have scheduled the July 4th weekend as official race riot weekend. During this period, the entire Police force will be on vacation as we do not wish to risk "violating the civil rights" of any rioters during the melee. Please do not call 911. The number has been disconnected. The fact that actually attempting to apprehend criminals constitutes an infringement of their rights has convinced us that we are the criminals and they are the good guys. Therefore, we urge you to contact your local murderer, rapist or child molester for help in fending off robbers, drug addicts and gangsters during the chaos this weekend.
2. Criminal "Honor System"- Again, we do not wish to violate the civil rights of any upstanding, innocent felons from now on, even if they endanger lives or are witnessed committing a crime. We will no longer engage in any activity that would result in the apprehension of these individuals. Instead, these fine citizens will be required to turn themselves in to the local precinct upon completion of their criminal duties. Again, do not contact us as there will be no response. You have made it plain to us that we have no rights infringing on the lifestyles of these individuals, who are no doubt just trying to "get by" like the rest of us. Besides, the newspapers have clearly defined them as "unarmed", "innocent" or "victimized", so it is safe for you to trust them. Even if they have a gun, and are pointing it at you as they have done to us, the aren't actually planning on shooting you according to their family members. Besides, the object that appears to be a pistol is actually either a cell phone or a chrome plated pager.
3.New traffic laws- The surplus of manpower will now be used to vigorously enforce the REAL danger to our citizens: The LA freeway system. Upon witnessing your careless actions, we will photograph your license plate and send you a ticket. While the neighborhood you live in may be chaotic under our new plan, at least you will be safe driving to work. We sincerely hope your business is still there.
We thank you for your cooperation, and apologize for our misguided attempts to make your city a safer place. It won't happen again.
Good luck and happy rioting,
The LAPD
PS Don't call us, we'll call you!

How in the He** are Cops suppose to do their job? You would think that the Cops are the Crooks. If a Felon runs, threatens an Officer, I say the Cops should Have the Right to beat that Bastard into submission without any recoarse. A few swings of the stick or the flashlight is all it woukd take. California needs to stop protecting these crooks.

[MagicMtnDan]

Let's just stop calling them cops or police and call them what they are, emasculated politically correct public servants managed by liberal politicians who have no backbone. :o
And while we're at it, let's arm them with these...

We had somebody similar - his name was Daryl Gates. That Sheriff Joe guy is core - you folks should elect him as governer. The stuff he does.....BIG cahones.
At least us citizens can still legally carry the 5 battery billy clubs (oops, I mean mag lights) in our cars.
