Tractor thief tased by police - video

Its treated/classed as a weapon in the UK police, so carrying a taser is like having a handgun which obviously requires exceptional circumstances as if it was an armed response. It would benefit our country if the police more freely used tasers and CS gas as the idiots would think twice about committing crime. My experiences of cs gas and the numerous electric shocks i've had have certainly made me think twice about doing stupid things like joining the Navy and touching live circuits.
The problem with youth today is there is no fear factor, they are brought up to believe people can hurt them. it certainly made my generation steer away from petty crime. The thought some burly copper could give you a clip around the ear. The closest i ever got to being shot was trying to get a mars bar from a street traders kiosk whilst drunk at 2 am in Spain - the copper unclipped his side arm and that was enough for me. I've had the enemy buzzing around ships i've served on but never been face to face and hand to hand. Even worked on an offshore vessel for the Iranians on a project off karg island where an American Navy cruiser was chased the hell away from us. Tensions had increased in the Pursian Gulf, six Royal Navy marines had just been captured in a rib which it was claimed had gone into waters they were not supposed to be. The boffins in their wisdom had decided our vessel needed protection, our captain quite rightly refused the assistance. it would certainly have antagonised the company we were working for. Its an amazing place you can see dozens of oil tankers left wrecked from the Iran-Iraq war all over the place.
I can remember an old saying from assembly at school about a really cold bird which had been crapped on by an elephant, the heat of the poop had made him feel warm so he started to chirp and sing, as soon as he had started a lion came and ate him. The moral of the story was that people who poop on you are not necessarily your enemy and those who get you out of the poop are not always your friend.

So the copper who electrocuted this bloke wasn't his enemy but his friend who was willing to serve and protect lol.
A face shot (calm down i meant picture) at the end would have been an absolute classic.
