Man Hacks Off Cop’s Thumb with Katana at PM’s Residence

I would lay off on the crack.

someone should upload the video of this epic fight!!! and make a film based on this true story...

"The Rainbow Samurai"

If I had a gun, a shield, a tazer and a dozen of similarly armed men? I sure as fuck wouldn't have lost a thumb.
Tazers are god tier non-lethal weapons.

Non-lethal is being challenged in a British Columbian court.

Low lethality rate weapon.

The next time I go out on the street, I'll wear steel-clad gloves :/

The colors, man, the colors

Draw my sword and "Chaaaaarge!", reason be damned.

Guess a pair of gauntlets from medieval times are still a nessesity even in the 21st century.

Leave it to Canadians to lethalize a non-lethal weapon.

Yeah eh. Totally non-lethal. Except for the part where it CAN, and has, killed people.

DeathCrunch

Canada is doing it because it's true. How many people in North America died to tasers in the last 12 months?

@18:01 Thanks for pointing out how fucking retarded people are. "Oh noes! Tasers are SOOO fucking deadly!"

Yeah, they are, to people with heart conditions or who are on absurd amounts of drugs.

Maybe if you don't want to die, and you have a heart condition, you shouldn't be pissing off police officers.

These people who get hit with the taser and die are the same people who if they're doing something to warrant getting tasered, are probably going to be fighting restraint if someone doesn't taser them, and could potentially die from positional asphyxia as they wrestle with the cop trying to put the fucking cuffs on them. Maybe cops should stop restraining people too!

Oh and while we're at it, the police baton is an evolution of the club! Clubs kill people! They're fucking dangerous! Don't give them to police, they COULD kill you!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!! I'M AFRAID OF THE POLICE! THEY'RE GOING TO COME KILL ME! ... OH wait, if I just don't fucking do stupid shit to get the police pissed off at me, I won't be getting tased, or clubbed, or cuffed. I won't fucking die at all........

*Light Bulb*

Actually, police taser because they can. They often should be using hand restraints, but don't want to bother.

They also are now using it as a punishment for people that don't comply with them quickly enough.

Tasers are being over-used acording to FBI and other law enforcement oriented studies. Police are overyl using them and outright abusing them because they are "low lethality".

They'll use them on handicapped 12 year olds that can only move their eyes because they stopped their computer controlled chairs in the middle of a school's door.

They use them very often on loud small children, and tasers are very deadly to people that are not male adult sized. The smaller you are, the deadlier the taser is.

They use them on people with leg braces or other medical devices so they don't risk "really" harming them, where the taser will do more damage then other choices.

Tasers are simply abused, same as pepper spray is now, by law enforcement.

When you read police incident reports and see they tased a drunk 12 times, AFTER the drunk was restrained, to just shut him up, you know the cops are taking advantage of the public perceptions that they are a safe weapon.

Not true. Cops are abusing tasers more than any other non-lethal weapon they have. They use it as a punishment on common citizens, elderly, and children. FBI has reported that taser usage was unwarranted in over 65% of the cases it has reviewed, and the trend was upward in outright abuse and moving into a common torture of people in police custody.

wooooohooo

this would sure be awesome...

imagine a man with a machinegun versus a dozen of katana-armed police officers...XDD

Oh, it's Schrobby who said it, not just random anon!

*votes Schrobby up*

Machinegun in Japan? No way. lulz

It might be reattachable, depending on how it was severed.

They certainly can replace a thumb with a big toe. It's a common procedure.

I'm quite sure it's a tribute to the Seven Samurai.

Well, usually the "good" people who don't cause the fuss would listen to those rules. The idiots are the ones who bring it anyway.

cosplayer: "damn, this isnt comiket. i went to the wrong place! i even went through the extra effort in order to bring this authentic looking katana..."

policeman: "hey you with the colored hair! stop right there!"

cosplayer: "awww shit...."

and then FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

1. SLICE!!!

2.?????

3. AAAHHHHH!!!

4. WHERE'S MY FUCKING THUMB!!?????

well it depends, for 5-10 seconds, assumeing the sword was razer sharp well maintained and it was completely clean, you will wonder if its real

after it sinks in that its real and you are missing a thumb, you will feel a phantom pain, i cant describe that feeling at all. its like something that hurts even though there is nothing there at all.

after that fades, and it will, well, only if the thumb is re attached. it will feel like burning, and than it will slowly not hurt much after that.

granted im talking over the coarse of 10 minutes.

Huh?

1) realy sharp sword, it wont feel like its real, and will take time for your mind to process
2) a pain from the limb that isnt there any more will come, very hard to explain unless you have felt it
3) instead of the pain of a broken bone, or a stabbing pain, a clean cut like that will burn,

and this will all happen over the coarse of 10 minutes, after that it will be a minor throbbing pain, like you hit the finger with a hammer, its nowhere near as painful as you imagine it to be. i explained the stages a bit shittly up there.

As a 10-year-old, I had the "opportunity" to see the bones of my own wrist ("so white... so shiny...") due to dogbite.

Shock set in, so there wasn't significant blood-loss.

It felt like a painful, dull ache, but not overwhelmingly so.

I held my wrist with my other hand and walked home. I didn't cry, but I was mumbling, "it hurts ... it hurts ...".

i'm guessing it was a clean break, if it wasn't that would have been almost unbearable for a 10 year old.
