New South Wales Police are likely to get virtually unrestricted use of Tasers in their fight against uncooperative street criminals.Taser guns inflict 50,000 volts of electricity over a period of 5 seconds to subdue violent offenders.
The New South Wales Police Association has called for Tasers to be more-widely available "as a non-lethal option for controlling violent situations".
Which should be fantastic news for the 24-year-old man from Bulimba in Brisbane who got a 50,000 volt jolt where it really hurts after the Queensland Police caught him urinating against a shop window in Fortitude Valley at 4.30 in the morning on Christmas Eve.
The cops directed him to stop - which was probably impossible after a night on the turps with a bursting bladder.
When his emotions kept pouring forth down the shopfront window, the cops Tased him on the spot, rendering the hapless individual into a blubbering mess on the footpath with parts of him no doubt shrivelling up beyond recognition.Who said the Queensland Police don't have a sense of humour at Christmas time?
