As often as you have bail money for, actually.
Nah, its a racial ability 3x/day.
I would rather bullet spray the media.
Wtf? O_O this aint funny, my red hair is even more funny, bitch …
/\ – as your name says, so your nature is.
I suppose it depends on your job.
Riot Police: Probably more often than you’d guess
Accountant: Not so much
Well I don’t know….what if the press threatened your graphic calculator? Can you mace them then?
See above!
yes, and using advanced algorithms they will be better shots with that mace
LMAO!!!
heh. i love how he’s using his colleague’s helmet as support
i believe it’s the angle of the photo and he’s not actually using the helmet as a rest for the mace…
Sez who? Maybe the guy being used as a table HATED them reporters.
“sez” me. because i looked at the photo and it looks like it’s the angle of the photo.
Like this optical illusion.
exactly. thanks DT. you’re a good man!
*considers how to use this sentiment advantageously*
That’s a nice rack… of lamb you’re preparing for dinner.
Wait… well, yeah!
*pushes boobs up*
thanks… i tend to have a nice rack…….. of lamb.
considering you can see the reflection of the entire arm and pepper spray can i the side of table head’s helmet you would be correct.
Maybe… but it’d be a whole lot snarkier if he was!
Back when I was a single man, I got pepper sprayed so much that I actually liked the stuff and now use it on salads.
*channels Homer* Mmmmmmmmmmmm, spicy…….*drool* *eyes water*
(finally a joke that didn’t bomb) {whew}
It did- we were being kind.
I believe it’s “Mmmm, incapacitating.”
THAT’S IT!!! I couldn’t remember the wording but didn’t want to miss out on the oportunity to be a smartass
Around here our State Troopers have to get sprayed in the face for ten seconds during their academy training. It lets them know how much it hurts, so they know when to use it.
Our prison guards who go through ERT (emergency response team) training have to go through several types of pepper spray. Hubby says it’s hilarious when they get that one guy who isn’t affected by the stuff. The trainers go all out on that guy, spraying him with everything they’ve got to try and make him react. The fact is that not everyone is put down by pepper spray.
Of course, hubby is not one of those guys, and he said that when he was in class and the trainer was just randomly walking around the room spritzing something onto the ground, no one knew what was going on until everyone started crying. Then they figured it out REAL quick, lol.
P.S. I’m a weenie, so I’ll never be a prison guard. Or a State Trooper. You can keep your damn pepper spray!
You have to have a permit to carry pepper spray in Mass. But not hairspray, which can have the same effect. Go figure!
Oh viking, no no, I’ve had both in my eyes. I’m a bad, bad DT.
I’ll take a snoot full of Aqua Net and the resultant bouffant ANY day.
I read an article recently that said to use wasp spray. You get a longer arc on the spray, more range, and no one expects it. Kind of like the Spanish Inquisition.
Non chlorinated brake cleaner. It will shoot 10ft, and makes pepper spray seem like eye drops. Ask any mechanic stupid enough to not use safety goggles, or one that did use them, but the wind got around them anyways. Your eyes will be messed up for days. You can also get it for about half the cost.
Put her in the soft chair!
Now get me the fluffy pillow!
On an unrelated note, have you been on beach duty or off the air? Long time, no post.
Which is another reason why they started putting pepper spray into paintball rounds and shoot them from paintball guns. The spray might not drop you, but the high-velocity hardened paintball round will.
That is retarded. Do they shoot state troopers in the academy with their pistols so ‘they know how much it hurts and when to use it.’?
Not saying that this isn’t true. I know that the law enforcement around here was required to get hit with a taser before they would be issued a taser. The individual officers said ‘No thanks. Got an asp, works like a champ.’
No, but one can understand that it is INCREDIBLY painful to be shot. With something that has less of a reputation for harm, like a tazer, or pepper spray, it’s not retarded. It helps to keep the troopers from wantonly abusing their powers without any understanding whatsoever of how much pain they are causing. Would you like it, if whenever a riot occurred due to a sports’ championship, the police just let loose on every single dart, spray, and electric shot they had because they didn’t understand how much they were hurting the people they were pledged to protect?
Personally, I love when the police used any and all means at their disposal to suppress a riot. Sports related or otherwise. Rioting is a crime. Riots cause large amounts of damage and get innocent people injured. I’ve seen two sports riots in my college town suppressed twice with ‘less than lethal’ equipment. It shut the riot down very quickly, when in the past law enforcement didn’t have the means to do so. And as an added bonus, there haven’t been any sports riots since.
And for the record, bad cops don’t care one way or the other ‘if it hurts.’ That care about ‘can I get away with it.’
On one hand, using less than lethal force on rioters is acceptable in my book. On the other, using it on a belligerent senior citizen is not.
I’ve been tear gassed three times because I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. All of them were sports event related. None of them was I a participant in either the riot or the sports event crowd.
1st time, I was in an apartment when a riot broke out on the street. Without warning, the police started firing tear gas canisters and one lands 5 feet from the window. Before we knew what was going on, the whole apartment was filled with tear gas.
2nd time, some trigger happy rookie landed a canister in the parking lot I was in. The crowd he was after on the opposite side of a building. The only people in that parking lot, were people trying to leave the area because they didn’t want to be caught up in it.
3rd time, myself and another person ran out into a riot to grab a girl that had been knocked unconscious by a police officer fired a canister at the back of her head from about 100 feet away. She collapsed and the officer walked away. She ended up spending the next 3 days in the hospital. Obviously, he felt a dozen of people running away from the main body of the riot was a threat…
While I agree that rioting is illegal, needs to be controlled, and is generally epic level ridiculous; I can’t agree with your opinion “any and all means at their disposal”. Ignorance can be a very dangerous thing. In the hands of someone who’s supposed to be protecting the public, it can be very dangerous.
There is a concept in Law Enforcement of “appropriate force” that is not only about keeping officers & the public safe, but also about not escalating a situation. In at least 2 of the three cases above, the use of “all means” made the riots worse and a whole lot nastier. In the first case, it was determined that the use of tear gas was likely the cause of the riot. Up until that point, it was just a very large group of people moving though the town & Campus disrupting the flow of traffic.
Getting an unfunny caption on the front page.
How often can you do that?
Quite a lot these days.
Let’s pepper spray the person who posted this!
Anally.
Owww!
Saw that one here…
That is so wrong in soooo many ways lol
“1,000 Ways to Die” is like a documentary for the Darwin Awards… lol!
you shouldn’t pepper spray me, johnny.
my mom pepper sprayed me once.
ONCE.
Never hang me from a hook…. my sister hung me from a hook once….. ONCE
To answer the question posed by the LOL:
Not nearly as often as they should be maced.
…or shot-gunned…
Or stabbed, drawn and-quartered, grenaded, flamethrowered, or just plain nuked.
Hey, if we nuked the Washington Press Corps, we could get them all at once AND take out the Root of All Evil (TM) at the same time!
It’s a win-win!
On a completely unrelated to LOL note, I fear for humanity. I just had a guy turn in a benefits form with “nephew” spelled “nefhew”. Very clearly. Three times.
I’m going to go jump off a cliff now, because obviously it’s over for the rest of us if these people are taking over.
*trying to make froo not jump*
at least he knew there was an “h” in there rather than just spelling it “nefew”.
Sounds like a sneeze when you say it phonetically.
Nef-HEW!
Maybe that’s what happened when he was sounding it out!!!
*considers not jumping*
At least today isn’t as bad as normal…….I get a lot of “baby momma” beneficiaries……seriously!
if you wanna feel better in general, i can regale you with a story of single girl-dom and how much it sucks to be dating someone but not yet exclusive with a big wedding coming up in 9 days and not able to get together with the guy to actually ask him to come to the wedding with you until only 5 days before the wedding so you have to ask by text because you’re both too busy at work for anything else… not to mention you were intending on asking him to be exclusive when you asked him to come to the wedding, but obviously that isn’t working.
see, people spelling things atrociously isn’t the end of the world. you could still be single and dealing with all the flipping drama.
Oh at least you have prospects. ;P
Are you letting that “physical reality” thing get in the way of our love again Jane?
i have prospect, singular. and he got back to me about the wedding. i has a hot date to the wedding.
now as to the whole exclusivity thing, i’ve got a plan that was created by my older brothers best friend. it’s ingenious. lol. puts the onus on the guy without him even realizing it. on the way to the wedding ask “how should i introduce you?” and let him determine boyfriend, friend, escort for the evening, etc. i kinda wanna use the escort one just to see the looks on peoples faces. lol. 
but on the whole jane, i don’t date. i HATE dating. i like relationships but i hate the whole dating concept. it’s just a complete and total pain in the ass. however, i find that using an online site that’s half social networking half dating is better than other options… it makes it (slightly) easier to rule out the creeps.
If only we could deny benefits for poor spelling… what a way to improve the gene pool!
Which reminds me of a joke:
A couple were having twins, but because the husband was military and was being shipped out, he wasn’t going to be there for the birth. When the day finally came, the wife was out cold so the doctor asked the brother-in-law what the names of the babies were. Later when the wife came to, he told her that he had named the babies. “Oh? And what did you name them?” He proudly said that he named the girl Denise. The wife said, “Oh, that’s a wonderful name! And the boy?” He told her, “Denephew!”
No Eddie, I’M the one who bombs a joke once a week.
Not often enough.
Can they get Couric next?
Anyone else notice it’s just one guy with a camera, not “The Media”?
It was Icelandic media vs. Icelandic police. So caption is correct
Well I’d hate to see the mace sprayer that can hit ALL of them at once.
It probably depends on who is being maced. If it were Fox, all the cameras filming the spray would magically turn off, whereas were it any other news organization, the “shooter?” would be hung out to dry.
No, if it were Fox, all the cameras filming it would be running it constantly saying, “Isn’t this awesome?” Hell yeah.
Touche, salesman, touche.
All the cameras, from all the networks, not just cameras Fox! Well, because, hey it’s Fox!
Don’t pepper spray me, bro!
Sometimes I get the urge to pepper spray my TV when journalists are on.
I just walk away and whisper into my dad’s ear, as creepily as possible, “My mouth tastes like lies…”
That always freaks ‘im out.
When I get tired of watching soul-sucking news, that is.
Your parents must be saints, dude.
i was thinking something along those same lines. but i also wondered how many times tygor’s had his nose broken from his dad unexpectedly flailing…
♪Papa, papa, paparazzi♪
Pepper-spraying the media? Isn’t that a common neoconservative masturbatory fantasy? (Except for Jeff Gannon, of course. They think he’s DREAMY!)
/headdesk
Pepper spraying Jeff Gannon is Jeff Gannon’s masturbatory fantasy.
I saw the chevron – on the hat – and thought I knew where it was taken for a minute, but I don’t think this was snapped in Chicago, on second look. Anyone know where this is from?
Judging by the checkerboard on the one cops cap, I’m guessing the UK?
I’m not so sure about that; British Police should have their service number badges on display at all times, and these guys don’t even have epelettes (sp) to mount said badges on.
Also, when on riot control duties, British Police normally use round polycarbonate shields, not square ones like those.
Iceland, as Alex mentioned earlier in the thread.
An article with this particular picture.
-1 for my reading comprehension; thanks.
lol thats in iceland, i was there when this was all happening
LOL it’s already been pointed out that this was in Iceland.
Also, the shift key is our friend.
how can this be iceland?
