Blind man Tasered as cane mistaken for gun in Levenshulme

[klong toey]

I will put this in the lounge out of disbelief.

A blind man was Tasered by police after they mistook his cane for a gun.
Armed response officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were called to Albert Road in Levenshulme at about 18:40 GMT on Thursday after reports there was a man with a gun.
They say a Taser was deployed and a 43-year-old man was detained.
It was later discovered the man was actually carrying a folding cane and he was released as he posed no threat.
The incident has been referred to the GMP's Professional Standards Branch.
Supt Steve Howard said: "Officers responded quickly to the incident to ensure the safety of the community of Levenshulme.
"It has been established that there was no threat and enquiries are ongoing to fully understand the circumstances of the incident."

[Chittychangchang]

Nothing surprises me about Levenshulme, proper shite hole.

[Dragonfly]

fucking stupid British police, only seconded by the US police force

[BaitongBoy]

Poor blind fook...He'll think twice if he ever flicks that cane "open" again...

I think they should taser the coonts involved...

[Troy]

I now know where Levenshulme is...learnt another piece of trivia

Must take a pretty active imagination to confuse a white stick with a firearm

[Slick]

fucking stupid British police, only seconded by the US police force

US police force would annihilate the UK police force in a battle

[BaitongBoy]

^ And all innocent folk, blind or otherwise...

[Slick]

^ As long as they're English, they wont be missed

Truncheons no match for firearms.

Added incentive for the US cops would be the Uk mob all being of ethnic minorities

I'm still wrestling with the notion that a folded cane used by a blind man as a walking aid could be mistaken for a firearm.
Truly, we are in the age of the Stupid. Mind you, this incident and the one in 2012 took place in the "North" where the preponderance of fucking pillocks is apparently particularly pronounced.

One wonders how it actually went:

" Hey, you, stop and put down that weapon!"

" Ay oop, who's tha'? "

" Police! I said put down that weapon!"

" Wha'? Wha' weapon?? Who are you, thee takking the piss? "

" Police! Police! Last warning. Drop your weapon and lie down!"

" Are ya fookin' mad? Ah have no fookin weapon. I'm fookin' blin..........."

"Taser, Taser, Taser.......phfftttt.......zap!"

" Aaargh!!"

" Oh bugger! it's a walking stick, folded up and not a modified Chinese AK47 with the shortened grip as favoured by the Somali Shaabat terrorist group on the Kenyan border. Fuck, the sarge is going to have me bollocks".

[Stinky]

If incompetence were an Olympic event our police would bring home the gold every time.

[BaitongBoy]

^ Which "force" are you for, again?...British?...

[DJ Pat]

Brit cops who are also firearms trained should also undergo mental stability tests.

[Seekingasylum]

Fuck that, the silly cvunt needs to go for a fucking eye test.

No English in Levenshulme, used to be an Irish area till the Muslims moved in and took it over.
Difficult job policing that area.

[Cujo]

If it were in the states he'd bu full of lead and six foot under.

According to the last census, in Levenshulme over 75% were actually born in Britain of whom 73% were classed as white.
If it is indeed a problem in policing then it would seem to be because whitey is trash.
Typical bullshit petty racism.

[Chittychangchang]

Have you driven through that area recently?
I was making an observation based on personal experience, not some outdated census.
Besides even if the outdated census was a correct indication of the ethnicity of the area, it would be inaccurate due to newly arrived immigrants failing to register on the electoral role.
Nice troll attempt but a failure due to your detachment from reality in your Pattaya sausage guzzling shite hole.
Har, har

[Seekingasylum]

Don't be so fucking puerile.

The census isn't outdated to a degree whereby there has been a seismic shift in the indigenous 75% white British population spontaneously vacating, en masse, a town leaving it to a majority occupation of Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Jamaican/African/ illegal migrants engaged in stealing the remaining white babies, raping their mothers and selling drugs to children.

You gormless, ignorant, stupid little white bigoted idiot.

This board used to be fun wth spirited debate among intelligent posters but now it seems to be a mere sink, backwater forum for lower class, ill-educated and stupid white trash drag-ups.

are you confusing this board with the smelly isles ?

If he was black.

You do waffle a load of old tosh.
The last census was documented back in 2011 just as the floodgates were swung wide open.
Resorting to insults is the last resort of the ill informed and ignorant.

When was Levenshulme moved to Yorkshire

Have you driven through that area recently?

I have. Seems to be mostly Polish these days. Back when I lived in Hulme Levenshulme was pretty much all students, now that the old Hulme has been demolished and replaced with student halls they've all moved down there.
