Small Sword Vs.
TaserCam footage of dealing with an obviously deranged man in a bathroom who holds a small sword/large knife to his own throat.
Although this guy more than likely never actually intended to do harm to himsef (most do this crap for attention) you can never really know. The situation ends well with the suspect walking out of the bathroom in handcuffs missing only his ego. No major injuries were received even after the deployments.
This is an excellent example of protecting the officers and suspects lives with the and rights with the camera. Complaints against the officers can usually be determined much easier with evidence, TaserCam provides critical from the officers point of view, this also demonstrates the quality of the and audio from such a small device.
I’ll shut up now, I’m sounding more and more like a sales rep, maybe they’ll send me a check?

Update: As I’ve predicted the Officers involved in this incident have been cleared and are returning to duty. Take a poll here.

I’ve posted a few videos on YouTube concerning the incident. Now I knew I would not be popular with my position on the incident. After all the majority of the users are young liberals, many of which love a good theory. At least that’s been my experience. However, I was astonished at the response I have received. In addition to the obligatory “your a fascist”, “troll alert”, “you’re part of Skull & Bones” and “you’re a Bush lover” comments, I’ve also received a few dozen messages threatening my life. Now of course I don’t take these seriously, mainly due to the all caps and mangling of the English language.

Insult 40Anyway, I’ll get to the point. Amongst all of the controversy, insults and now death threats I have had some productive conversations with a rare few.Insult 041 Some of whom have requested more information or explanations of the information I have presented. Rather then continue to try and provide a condensed version that fits withing the 500 character limit of the YouTube comments that also wont allow URLs to be posted, I have decided to simply post what I can here. With any luck someone will find it useful.
