Taser Graffiti in NG7

Tash [alan lodge] | 24.04.2009 11:07

Seems to me that someone in NG7 is expressing their concerns, at the spread of the use of Tasers.

In time, I expect figures may well show the use of such weapons in some areas to be disproportionally applied. We'll see.....

There are now yet more 'pilot schemes' in the UK, with a view to expanding the availability of such equipment use.

The sign is at the junction of Gregory Boulevard and the Alfreton Road, Hyson Green.

Who cares?

The Police need some method of subduing violent people, but then you probably think a drugged up maniac with a knife could be subdued with peace and love.
