In all, about 600 officers will be equipped with the $1,000 Tasers. Holy crap dude. $1000 dollars for a Taser? [Read More]

We loved this little note from the Globe Democrat last night: St. Louis Metropolitan police said officers may have stopped several suspects from stealing a vehicle at Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Jefferson Avenue Tuesday night. Hey, well allright! Really nice work. Of course there were apparently “several” people stealing a single car so that had to stand out some way right. I mean if you see 5 people wailing away on a car, you think, as an officer of the law, you might say “Hey, why are you doing that? [Read More]
