[Closed] Have we done the 'Legend from Margate getting tazered' yet?

I miss commuting through London. 🙂

Loving the 'Happy to Help' folk applauding his taser experience.

Legend, eh?
Who does he think he is, Ronnie Pickering?

Who?

from the youtube comments:

"as he laid there, electricity surging through his veins, his pants filling with his own piss, face down on the floor, he wondered... "am i really a legend?"?"

They should’ve hit him with pepper spray whilst he was down. Just to be safe

What a monumental Richard.

Surely the only Margate legend...

4:13 - "I wasn't *bleep* startin!" 😆

I really enjoyed that cheers.

Was this a submission for the "Definition of Masculinity" thread? 😆

What a colossal bell end. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

"Taser him again!"

Get this kid to do it

😆 What an absolute helmet.

That was a full on "Del Boy Style" crash to the floor. Hilarious.

thats not an ‘underground station’ thats the main concourse of London Bridge Rail station.

this should be referenced to the thread about what it means to be a man, it’s all there, alcohol, lack of internal dialogue, confusion, anger, testosterone, primal skills that are redundant in the modern world and generally a bit thick.

was great when he hit the deck though. 😆

some excellent further narrative

Legendary sack of spuds 😀

Sad that everyone thinks it's funny when somebody gets tazered by the police.

Tit or not. They could've just arrested him. He's a gobshite in a suit not an armed robber. Lazy, brutal and uncivilised.

This has brightened up my day no end.

You can even spot the exact moment when his bowels give up the unequal struggle of continence in clear view of the commuting public.

We should do this to more of our politicians.

FTFY.

jambourgie: Did you watch the video?

He was aggressive and violent, threatening towards station staff, members of the public and the police. He wasn't calming down or listening to reason from his (presumed) partner.

Seems perfectly reasonable to taser him in that situation. Would it really have been more civilised and less brutal to have gone in mob-handed and subdued him by force?

You've never had to restrain a violent adult have you?

which option do you think has more risk of injury to both parties.

I'd give nurses, paramedics and firefighters tasers if I was in charge. Just for bellends like that

At 2:58.

Edit: Very subtle, jambourgie. Like it.

Put me in mind of...
[i]Hello, Hello. My names Terry and I'm a law abider
There's nothing I like more than getting fired up on beer
And when the weekends here I to exercise my right to get paralytic and fight
Good bloke fairly
But I get well leery when geezers look at me funny
Bounce 'em round like bunnies
I'm likely to cause mischief
Good clean grief you must believe and I ain't no thief.
Law abiding and all, all legal.
And who cares about my liver when it feels good
What you need is some real manhood.[/i]

Unfortunately you'd end with people getting tasered for questioning a nurse why their sick relatives have been waiting 45 minutes to see a doctor....and so on.

He was a tit, I have little or no sympathy for him....but there's a kernel of something in jambourgie's misgivings. If that chap was suicidal, mentally disturbed etc then it's not exactly the right way to deal with him. He could easily have cracked his head off the floor, or just had a heart attack.

That's not the say that tackling him wouldn't have resulted in similar damage, but there were a few opportunities in the video where someone could have restrained him while he was distracted.

He'd also managed to take one the battons off the Police, lying on the floor where he fell.

Tasering him seems a pretty sensible thing to do in those circumstances.

It's a bit late once he's started kicking off in a public place...

There's always that small risk, but you have to weigh that up with the risk to everyone else at the time.

You really think that ‘just arrest him’ would’ve worked. He was itching to swing his fists. Taser ensured nobody other than the dickhead was injured. Safest option I reckon.

FFS!!

Filmed in bloody portrait mode.

Cling film,they should have ran around him with cling film.*

* Then tasered him.

TBF he does do a controlled fall very well 😉

If that chap was suicidal, mentally disturbed etc then it's not exactly the right way to deal with him.

He's not any of those things though, is he? He's a coked-up nobhead, kicking off with everyone, and generally being an arse. The police will have seen enough of them to identify them easily enough

Deserves everything he got IMHO

but there were a few opportunities in the video where someone could have restrained him while he was distracted.

It probably a bit different being there and having to respond to an unfolding situation. It easy in hindsight, watching the YouTube video to make those sort of judgements about what the police should have done.

0/10, try harder next time. Maybe reference a childs face.

I missed that. Fair enough if he's armed then.

I'd give nurses, paramedics and firefighters tasers if I was in charge

Why stop there?

Pub landlords for dealing with drunk people? Job centre staff for when their 'clients' become upset about being sanctioned?

FFS!!

I know, they should have tasered the guy filming it just to teach him to use Landscape next time...

He's got unnaturally skinny legs. Not the most important observation I know.

I'd give nurses, paramedics and firefighters tasers if I was in charge

Why stop there?

Staff in kebab shops in provincial town centres should definitely be issued with tasers

Impressive video but it raises a couple of questions.....

Is it OK to taser your children?

Where can one acquire such a device?

In fact, i'd just arm every citizen from birth with a taser with only 5 non-refillable charges.

That sure would make life interesting.

I don't think k he gave them much choice whether or not he was going to he tasered tbh.

Is it OK to taser [s]your [/s] other people's children?

FIFY

And Sunday League football referees. They should have tasers too

I like the way it just looks like someone's tied his shoe laces together in the gif rather than being tasered. The full video clearly shows he deserved it though, he'd had plenty of time to calm down but wasn't (a few passengers getting involved likely didn't help admittedly). Had to tell but he looked pretty tall to, not sure I'd have wanted to try and wrestle him to the ground if he resisted arrest.

perhaps I heard it wrong, it wasn't clear, but my 10p worth is that its a sign of the times that they chose not to bleep it when he says the n-word and when he says 'darkies', even just for symbolic reasons. moreover, and I have no evidence for this, I imagine his anger had a racial aspect.

but maybe I am jumping to conclusions that all idiots like that are racists and that is making me hear things
