“Day says the weapons have the impact of traditional night sticks but also allow trained officers to quickly bind wrists or ankles to control a suspect without”
Day is an ignorant moron who doesn’t know the definition of the word “violence”.

We used to joke about this in CA.
You have two sticks of wood and a chain, all legal.
You connect the two sticks of wood with the chain...a felony.
I wonder what the charge is if you connect two banana’s to a chain?
Nice, eh? Nunchucks for cops a useful tool, nunchucks for me and thee a felony! I wonder do the cops play “Kung Fu Fighting” when they whip em out.
I make myself a set, major bust if found on me?
Nunchuck fails.

Back in 1970, after being in SE Asia, I told a co-worker about a simple self protection device a person could carry. It was two sections of large dowel or closet pole tied together with a length of twine or small chain, based on the rice flail. The orientals called it “nunchaku”. I then described the function, and he just laughed at such a silly idea.
A few years later police departments were issuing warnings and going crazy about numchucks in the “wrong” hands.
Very easy to kill with a set of these things ....
Approaching from the side, you slam one stick into the target’s throat, while crossing your hand to catch and lever the other stick as it swings behind the neck ... Then, with arms crossed you lever pull the two sticks together, using the victim’s neck as a fulcrum. This action instantly crushes the trachea and the the atlas-axis vertebrae. (You will hear a hollow clunk sound as the vertebrae crush and collapse.) Death is almost instantaneous.
These cops are idiots for using the device rather than a night stick ... and they are setting themselves up for lawsuits.
They are using a weapon that is illegal in California?
So, they have special rights?
YES!
This is it!
This is exactly what our fearless, zealous overlords need!
More ways to strike and hurt people.
They should also have an entire panoply of pointy sticks, nunchucks, cat o’nine tails, butt plugs, bull whips and switchblades too.
I think that a mohican haircut and lots of tattoos help them do their job better too.
OH, and mirror sunglasses.
Oh... and lots of black leather. Maybe some rubber underwear...
Did I mention steel-toed kicking/stomping boots and sap gloves?
Exceedingly dangerous weapon.
they are fake batons, but serve the same purpose
