A bit like the assurances that police tazers would only be used in
extreme circumstances....



On people soak in flammable liquids...

I can't help thinking that anyone to which that wasn't blindingly
obvious, should never have been given access to a tazer, or any
other weapon for that matter, not even a truncheon.


This is plod we're talking about...

New anti-taser tactic - wet yourself thoroughly with water and a few
drops of petrol. Anyone armed with a taser would now think twice (one
would hope) before using it unless they were sure the wet was not flammable.
