Yeah, so in an hour and a half, I'm gonna be nicely spaced out.

*betting shop

The irony of all of this is that the fact none of this shit led to rioting in Easton and St Paul's is testament to how tirelessly and effectively Judah Adunbi worked as a race relations advisor for the cops.

Also a few months after the cops who tasered him was clear and a few weeks after they racially profiled him again, they then confected a load of racially aggravated charges against him for allegedly racially abusing a white guy in a budgetting shop.

The cops actually released this video as if its a good thing, and it's fucking terrifying.

Judah Adunbi. It got even worse than that, and he still has partial facial paralysis from the injury.

It does, the Met adopted an actual policy of using cars to knock suspects off mopeds in 2018.

Up-to-date stats aren't available, but if ASP have followed the trend from 2022 to (nearly 2026) as they were up to 2022, there's a non-zero possibility there is now a higher percentage of taser officers in ASP than in the Met. That is fucking insane.

The number and proportion of ASP officers armed with tasers is well above the national average, and increasing year on year, along with the number of deployments and firings of tasers. There is clearly a culture of taser use within ASP that is considerably more trigger-happy than other forces.

You'd think.

I've seen them pull tasers on groups before, and the guidance for them very clearly states they are only ever to be used on specific individuals. They routinely misuse them. They just shouldn't be allowed them at all.

Thanks I hate it.

It's just an absolute failure of duty of care.

It's literally that. Trying to expedite the process of getting them under control. This is presumably someone who was either mentally unwell, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or strong medication from the ambulance, or suffering an injury causing cognitive impairment.

The cop responsible should not only be immediately fired but charged with manslaughter.

I'm not just imagining it am I? ASP do just fucking *love* using tasers in wildly dangerous ways. Like *tasering someone on a motorway* - are you fucking mental?

It goes through four other forces areas and passes very close to three others who could conceivably respond in emergencies.

The M5 goes from Birmingham to Devon.
