So The Guardian et al are outraged because 40% of people tasered in London are black

What if it's a terrorist using a taser what does he shout?

Allahu Akbar, I imagine.

Which I believe is Islamic for 'How's about that, then?'

I like policemen but they are simply not interested in me, never have been. I often feel I ought to complain to someone about it.

My hounds bring down more heat than I do :-(

Well they're Arabs, aren't they? Stands to reason. You have terrorist hounds.

That is actually a thing, not so much with mine but certainly amongst the Afghan Hound fancy,; they get all kinds of grief.

Sounds plausible I suppose.

I thought it might be like the Lego Batman movie where the characters made gun type noises when shooting because clearly they were not using real guns.

What do they think they're going to do? Grow a beard, bark 'Death to the West' and detonate themselves on Oxford St?

However, given that 54 per cent of those accused of street crimes were black; 59 percent of those accused of robbery and 67% of those accused of gun crimes, it seems to me that 40% is actually a pretty low figure.

So in fact, the story here should be: "Police not tasering enough black people in London' :rubchin:

I note the repeated use of the word 'accused' there. I think you know where I am going with this.

I have a friend here who is in the police force - seems to be drunk most of the time
