Britain's biggest police force is to issue its officers with US-style "stun guns" capable of paralysing offenders with a 50,000-volt electric shock from up to 15ft away.

Metropolitan Police as a non-lethal alternative to firearms
because of a rise in the number of incidents in which officers have been confronted by people wielding swords and knives.

Jack Straw bans it!
The fuse is lit…
It’s now up to the NF to decide whether to ignore the ban, and go ahead. This will demand a counter-demonstration from the Anti-Nazi League....A heavy (riot) police presence, armed with their new ‘non-lethal’ laser-stun-guns and water-cannon on stand-by (new powers) and BOSCH....you’ve got mayhem on the streets.
They pick an area populated by blacks to implement the dastardly plan, so that when the shit hits the fan, they can blame it all on “immigrants” and arrest as many Asians as possible. ‘Named & Shamed,’ from CCTV, of course.
