Scoop

They can have an attack but thats their fault for putting me in a position where they have to be sprayed. Its not from the chemical its more brought on by panic and hyperventilating. I wont lose any sleep over it. Positional asphyxia is however more of a concern

Haha yeah. It is funnier watching someone dancing like a little girl when you've just sprayed them with CS or Pepper Spray. When we train we use inert spray (water to me or you) one of our SGTs forgot to put her live spray back on. Sprayed a traveller in the face and he screamed and started rolling around on the floor. Then realised that actually it wasnt spray but by that time we were already rolling around on the floor with him. Haha, distraction is the key! I've never had to use my baton though and only drawn it twice and once was at a minor riot and I'm reluctant to draw it anyway. If someone else gets hold of it ill be wearing it.

Could have cut it off if caught on zip dodgy! Doesn't bare thinking about Man down, man down

Thanks for the ice burn guys! Haha. Bet that hurt

Theres another good one on that site where some guys call this bloke a skater fag so he beats up all 4 of them! I know I shouldn't condone it but some kids need to be brought back to reality

Sorry if it is a repost. I linked this into a thread generated on self defence but its such a cool video I think everyone should see it. http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1137933856

I've just found that average joe psycho, the unpolished fighter, tends to go crazy and they dont say anything. Some will even hold their breath while they are having a fight. I've shouted when I've had to strike out and most people trained in a self defence or martial art will do so too. Not billy the street fighter though in my experience. Its good deterrant. I dont know any super martial arts but I was taught (and I paticularly like this) the palm heel strike amonnst other techniques. Nothing but a firm but fearsome two handed push in the aggressors chest whilst screaming on the top of your lungs 'GET BACK!' or similar. You'll be surprised how much power you can generate and therefore space you'll put between yourself and them with this, giving you chance to turn and run. I've seen it action loads of times and its a beauty, so simple to. Had a camera crew out on the streets with us for a UK police program and this poor lad started on one of my colleagues. When we watched the video we couldn't believe the distance that lad covered. Because he was off guard, distracted by the shouting, got stuck first and was off balance and also partly because this paticular officer is rather strong. I STILL SUGGEST YOU RUN AWAY IF POSSIBLE! I tried to find a video on the internet but I couldn't find one of a good demonstration. Maybe I could find a willing 'volunteer' I understand where your coming from but that could be you on your back straight away. If you maintain your reactionary gap of 4-6 feet you'll be able to see all of the aggresors body and have a better chance. Wont stop him hitting you as still close but give you moment to react and you'll see it coming. Dont allow them into your space and don't be scared of a pre-emptive hit to get them out of it. It is justified and its what most bouncers/doorman do and no police officer will question you furthur when you explain if you explain it rationally and justify your actions. Of course the easiest method is if you see someone starting to display those warning signs walk away but watch your back. EDIT: I have found awsome example of self defence and a pre-emptive stike. Very funny too. Note the defender standing in bladed stance, smalelr body area presented to aggresor and also looks non threatening but allows you to generate power. I'd love to know the moves this guy does. http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1137933856

yeah but I'm not denying it

If its inevitable and you aint gonna get away, get in a pre emptive strike to give you space and time. If you can get the hell out of there, do it, if not, face the music. Its gonna get ugly. Kick, punch, scratch, gouge, headbutt, elbow, knee, spit and most importantly SHOUT! When you get a chance get the hell out of there. My brother got picked on in the town by some twat. My brother, being the mild mannered guy that he is didnt want anything to do with it and offered to shake the guys hand as a 'i dont want no trouble gesture'. He got punched in the face and fell down like a sack of shit. I personally think more people should do self defence classes. I dont even mean on a regular basis. A decent weekends course with a yearly refresher. So many techniques you can learn to maximise your safety. Whether that will help you with a gang is another matter. IMPORTANT: Some warning signs so you know when someones about to go and spank you all round the room... Clenched fists (obvious) Standing tall (intimidation) On tip toes (as above) Looking down (subconcious reaction to guard neck) Increased rate of breathing Nervous fidgeting (adrenaline at work) Wide body position (subconcious to look big and for stability) Skin colour is white (blood is rushing to muscles ready for fight or flight reflex - if someones red with anger then they probably arent going to hit you) Fixed gaze - (intimidate/phsych themselves up) Silence. (generally someone wont shout when they are about to strike out. Beyond reason at this point) If someone is acting like this you need to think about your options. Most importantly, which is the best way out!

Funny vid from the states. No I most certainly haven't been using any drugs officer Guilty as a child with chocolate all over its face http://www.shortarmguy.com/NoMarijuana.wmv

Only when I'm going for promotion and I make sure my hand is warm first... err... hold on... you mean myself.... *runs*

Excellent. Comedy at its best!

Guy caught jerking off to a video game. You dont see anything but I guess NSFW http://www.yourdailymedia.com/media/1141904204/Jerking_Off_To_World_Of_Warcraft

Crazy!

These guys need to get across town fast, what better way than with a police escort!? Cant see being able to get away with that over here but looks fun! http://www.fhm.com/site/bigeye/link.asp?http://www.fazed.org/video/embed/?id=68 Typical vocal Brit on the back seat Apparantly this is the car they were in...

Nutters!

Might be an old one but see pic...

I'd hate to be your neighbour!

If you read the UK forum thread it'll make more sense probably. Im basically saying damaging peoples kits or using violence are not proportionate to what somone has done. You dont have to BASE to realise that and if people think it is justified then they are tossers and deserve whatever happens to them. Bad karma comes from doing nasty things. It works both ways

It'll be over by christmas

Ahh yes.. the well known BASE mafia. Dont fuck with them I respect the sport and the ethics to a certain degree but I would expect people involved in such a dangerous activity to show a bit more maturity at times. It must be frustrating when people fuck up, but behave, educate them and I dont mean through beastings. I also suggest that anyone who gets all offensive on the internet think about what they write. Because angry posts really make you look like a cock (in my opinion)

Pah.. the world will survive one way or another. Just maybe without the human race. We are so small in the great scheme of things yet we think so much of ourselves

Now remembering that I'm in the UK and have no knowledge of crocodiles or anything... I really couldn't give a fuck. Species kill other species. Thats what happens. Just because we've got a brain capable of making us feel guilt it makes it wrong!? WTF! Maybe thats our weakness, evolution fucked up there.

Milk. mmmmm. I love cow juice

Sadly not im afraid. Ill happily have the money for the ticket though. My PayPal is.... Haha. Hmm, its like a tank but not a tank. Hmm. I dunno!
