Pawn shop workers tasered in face at point-blank range during ‘unnecessarily violent’ armed raid in Ilford

“A pawn shop owner was tasered in the face 10 times and pistol-whipped with a semi-automatic handgun during an “unnecessarily violent robbery”, a court has heard, as the gang involved were jailed for a total of almost 100 years.” 

GovWatch:  These things are capable of dreadful damage and should not be in the hands of regular police officers let alone untrained ‘special constables.’  Members of the public want the traditional UK Police Officer not ‘Thugs R Us.’
