I have been trying to find an answer for assisting Police, and at the end of the day I have to accept that tasers are probably the best for a bad situation. Unfortunately we have situations where enforcement requires rendering the assailant without the ability to continue and I now accept it would be better to shoot with a taser. There appears to be situations that require other means for the police to use and accordingly we have those. A taser isn't an accidental situation I would like to end up in, but also an assailant really isn't considering anyone else's welfare either but I fear, (receiving end here) unless we address the stereotypical behaviour that often comes with the job the police are open to criticism and they will be vilified at the first corner. I know I would hate to see anyone with mental health issues being shot with any other firearm so I accept if the police feel they need them, so be taser it. But ....Do they need them?

Oh, Sofie. No! More, more.
Last surprising thing Stell did was race up sand dunes (just before Cape Rienga)in less than 2 mins and I'm talking mofo sand dunes here. She seems better on sand but the lurcher ( that we know about) could have something to do with her speed. She picked up traits of her well known mother (Peria bitch) and mimics the old behaviour to a tee. Consequently we have nothing but pleasure with her and she has always been part of my job description. Stella goes everywhere with me. She will have a shower on suggestion by walking into our bathroom and sitting in shower until we assist. I get a stomp at 5 and continuous until fed.Just as her mother did.I get to laugh every day. One thing that amazed me,When, after my brain haemorrhage, I was transferred to the rehab,hadn't even got out of the ambulance, there she goes,through the self opening doors, down the hall and sits by a bed.The nurse then informed me that ,it was indeed the bed for me.I love her to bits.

didn't, because I felt very naive for not thinking about the consequences
I think that is alot of the problem. I found the lesson learnt becomes extremely valuable for your future and develops those moral obligations you mentioned earlier. Plus educates on the woes of alcohol etc.

The black collie taught the other one to jump.
heh, who said they need training eh? I am constantly surprised by the dog. My sisters (police dog descendant) pinned a guy on the property and awaited the police when they (cops) couldn't find him after a chase. She instinctively acted (twice now) as a police dog does ,so the police mentioned ,and, has now helped catch 2 thieves. Now my dog.... she's the best dog in the whole wide world. That's enough about Stella. :-)

we worship youth on the one hand, and hate and fear the young on the other. We've created a hyper-sexualised culture and throw up our hands in horror when our children take it all at face value. The world spins forward, and I'll be damned if I don't feel ever so slightly queasy all the damn time.
Yes!
Although I know nothing, so will not pass any judgement, (but do think Lucy made very valid points in general), I have had a wee bit o' experience over the years (and years) and one thing I am well aware of in my more over zealous drinking daze, was ,black out. Didn't even know it had a name but proved time and time again that I couldn't remember. So I accepted full responsibility for my own stupid actions, and, although suspicious of some situations, I knew I had been drunk ,and couldn't remember, therefore noone was to blame but me.
This lady may not remember and may have difficulty trying to piece this together.If so ,the cops would have a shit show. I also thought it was standard police procedure to have person examined through the hospital if a complaint is made ,(for establishing penetration etc) then
a case can be established or not. -
If police dog training was moved to my house and my dogs were put in charge, they'd be leaping 6 foot walls after offenders before you could go woof.
What sort of dogs are they Kyle?

Did you all catch this guy? WHat's the world coming to when porsche drivers (an SUV) are forced to steal their petrol?
I could suggest pure arrogance with selfish disregard for other peoples property. At least his attitude suggests that. "Misunderstanding" my arse.What part of don' t steal does he not understand? But yeah, what is up with our society?

can of hair spray.
Oh shux, Still don't think it would have helped me but. Might have made him hit a bit harder though.

just minding my own business when, out of the blue, a complete stranger did something horrible to me, totally unprovoked."
Actually happened to me once (long time ago) when I was also 18.I saw a group of guys punch for no reason,(I could see) another guy walking in the opposite direction, so, me in my infinite wisdom, decided to do something about it. As the guys approached me, I let loose with a stream of invective . I expected back up from others who were witness to this also, only to be educated about such whimsical fancy then and in the future. I was promptly king hit to the ground. As I lay bleeding, and many tourists walkin' on by, a thought occurred. Sofie,your dad did warn you to give "the Cross" a wide berth!

What do you reckon? He has trollish spells of commenting on his own comments,
He's harmless and I congratulate anyone happy to bother to respond. Maybe he finds comfort in being able to communicate with someone,__anyone__ actually responding (even te one in his head):-)
