What's wrong with letting the criminal "See the Light" (and then see stars)?
To: Lazamataz
An exchange I had while working in corrections:
Citizen: Is that a Club?
Slim: No, it's a Baton.
Citizen: What do you do with it?
Slim: I club people.

The very reason why cops hold their six "D" cell MAG-LITEs by the front with the handle on their shoulder while you look for your license is so if you make one false move they can crack your skull with it. This is common knowledge told to me by a cop.

"When did you stop beating your flashlight?"
To: Lazamataz
Sheeesh, they could ruin the flashlight.
They should stick to using their hardened nightsticks, that's what they were desiged for.

I bet the LAPD only beats the black flashlights. They gotta stop beating up the poor flashlights!
I hope the NAAFL can shed some light on this sore subject. (National Aassociation for the Advancement of Flashlights

We got trained in USCG LEO school how to use a maglite as effectively as possible to make a suspect compliant.
