Knife man tasered outside Buckingham Palace
 

Amazingly enough the usual 'Oooh Tasers are bad' brigade aren't forthcoming in comments about this. Maybe they realise the alternative resolution would be the 9mm kind?

Tasers are bad they should have let him cut his throat

Now if that were a hostage situation with the knife at the hostages throat. the tactic was wrong.
he had a thick jacket on. he should have tasered his head!

You are actually right. :shocked: Well almost but that's close enough.

It appears the first taser doesn't make good contact and he is able to rip out the barb and run at the cop who shot it. The second cop hits him in the back and he goes down like a sack of spuds.

That "Ladies and Gents" woman. if it wasn't for her panicking people. it would have been a nice and quiet procedure :)

Waits for the YouTube edition of "Don't tase me bro on tour in London". :D

And this is the reaction from self proclaimed taser expert, full time ambulance chaser and twitter annoyance Sophie Khan.

Obviously the fact the Police surrounded and detained said knifeman escapes her.

Obviously another candidate for direct entry to the Police or to be a PCC...

What would happen if say 3 tasers were being fired into a person at once?

obviously the voltage given out by one has got to be a safe level. but 2? 3?

I would suggest to the woman that if a man were to be standing by her with a knife and she felt threatened. that the police should throw her a tin of pepper spray to use on him.
