get him down quickly before he causes any harm to the

police or the public.

You're joking aren't you? Even in the hands of paid professionals, these tazers are a bloody liability.

If he'd smoked a joint he'd be attacking bags of Doritos not the Police.

Maybe those aren't sticks but those long-poled nooses that they snag rabid dogs and pythons with?

there's a world of difference between a weekend toke and smoking / injecting meth.

Drugs are ok just like alcohol(is a hard drug). Just this behavior drunk or stoned is not.

Even with meth and other drugs there are more people who don't bother anyone then those who do. Just like not every drunk turns violent but quite a few do. Still a minority. 

 

I have no tolerance for any drug user (alcohol is a drug too) who operates a vehicle when under the influence or bothers people. If you do want to do drugs then make sure you don't bother anyone

Looking at the photo, they had a choice between sticks or stones.

Here I am !

 

EDIT : I feel the same way as I did before ... If you can't handle the drugs don't use them(same as alcohol) . I am tired of people using drugs as an excuse for their actions.

Where are the " heavily armed commandos" when you need them from an earlier post that were dispatched to arrest a bunch of frightened sub continent guys?...

[bendejo]

Looks like they tried dangling little packets of meth from a string on the end of their sticks to lure him out.

As I am currently having to stay in a UK beach resort until I can get back to Thailand and I can assure that the stink of weed on the beach is sickening. 

 

Your habit may be fun to you, but it absolutely reeks to others.

I do not think those who support use of cannabis, necessarily support methamphetamine

Big difference between the two

That is why people must vape it.. no such smell and healthier. You can also eat it. Smoking as such is always bad for others. But not sure how weed can stink on a beach. I mean its open air and all. Unless those idiots are so inconsiderate to smoke near other people.

Seems logical to me if you take drugs (alcohol included) and you cant handle them and bother others you should not take them. This goes too for those idiots that when drunk always want to start a fight.

I have maybe the smell of spilled beer masked the weed smell. Not sure but but never really smelled it. I have in the past smelled weed if someone smoked it close to me. But that was when they were smoking not after they were done and I was close to them.

There is "bloody liability", "paid professionals" and what is found here. Having had experience in similar circumstances, I opted for non-lethal means and putting distance between myself and the suspect.

The Red Bull brat 'was treated with kid gloves at first but after he refused to give up the experienced officers used their' common sense and let him off.
