THE HOUSE OF ORANGE
I usually don't post something like this, but this one has been bothering me a lot.
Our Los Angeles Chief of Police has stated that all metal flashlights that the police carry will now be replaced with plastic flashlights.
If you have read the news, a suspect was beaten by a policeman with a metal flashlight.
So apparently grown men or women cannot be trusted to carry a metal flashlight in our police department.
Now is it me or is something very fundamentally wrong here?
Love you and STILL miss U
That is totally ridiculous! The criminal scum can carry whatever their heart desires. Our officers here carry what is called an Asp.
Asp Very effective

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
I miss you
I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.
Fur as dark as the night.
Join me on this flight.
Paws of love that follow me.
In my heart you'll forever be.

How I wish I could hold you near.
Turn back time to make it so.
Hug you close and never let go.

Testing the waters...
I don't think the issue is what the criminals carry, because the cops still carry guns. It's a whole police brutality thing. I have seen cops slam people on cars and generally beat the crap out of them for no real reason. I know someone who just recently had the cops called on her and when she asked them what was going on they SLAMMED her on the cop car, cuffed her and literally threw her into the back seat. I think they're just worried that they'll pull out the Maglites instead of shooting someone, and beat the %$!@ out of them!

uhh - I sort of thought that part of the reason for those flashlights was that they could also serve as a baton style weapon.
guess this means that the cops will just have to kick, punch, and bite the suspects instead.
These are not the droids you were looking for

So do we have a police department that cannot control their flashlights?Originally posted by gini

Sweet, so now they can just pistol whip the people instead.How about some flashlight training and a few attitude adjustments instead? That's ridiculous taking their flashlights away.
Thank you Wolfie!

LAPD chief Bratton has decided to let his officers design their own flashlights as opposed to buying an off-the-shelf-model....
The officers can't use the flashlights properly so that makes them qualified to design them..
Nice.

Does this mean that next year I can approach one of your "boys in blue" and say
"Flash me??"
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

I'm sorry, Gini, Slick got me sidetracked.
I totally agree with you. What a stupid, stupid decision.

As a former auxilliary state police officer from CT, those metal flashlights can be considered a deadly weapon. I own one and they are HEAVY and can do serious bodily injury. Mine fell on my head once and caused a serious lump and bruise.
Oh Slick, you are just TOO funny!!!!
