this is just so defense attorneys can't say "so you beat my poor, defenseless client with a steel pipe officer?"
rather than "beat them with an expandable ,steel baton called an ASP."

The proposal comes months after a telvised beating by Officer John Hatfield showed him striking a motorist 11 times following a foot chase. The June 23 incident sparked widespread objection to the use of flashlights as weapons. Where is the widespread objection to criminals running....?

So I take it flashlight beatings can only be conducted curbside? Wonder if the gutter counts.

6-D cell mag-foo on your noggin ain't no joke.
Mag lites are considered a tactical weapon. Keep one within reach.
To: Lazamataz
Personally, I'd like to see the headline "LAPD Plan to Double Flashlight Beatings."

Wait this one is much better...
To: Lazamataz
Well, on the one hand it's a good thing, on the other hand it will be harder for certain people to sue the city.
