A billy club can be used three different ways.

It can be used as a striking device, much like swinging a baseball bat. Except in extreme circumstances, I am against such use. It can do more damage than intended. And it’s bad optics for the camera. No need to make a martyr out of a violent protestor.

It can also be used as a prod, to push someone along. Yep. That’s a good use.

The third use is as a lever, to bring a combative person to the ground. That takes a bit of skill. But there’s nothing wrong with such use.

Several of the ‘protestors’ have attacked Jews with pepper spray and tasers. I believe the proper, proportional response should be pepper spray, tasers, and the occasional Billy Club for those who ‘deserve’ it.

I prefer a PERMANENT criminal record for all of those breaking the law. Brand them as unemployable troublemakers. That will hurt far longer than a beating.

They were being used in 1971 in DC, as someone was hit they would move to the interior of the group, since the cops weren’t getting resistance they would back off for a while and try it again and then when there was still no resistance they just started politely arresting everyone.

What would work better than a Billy club would be a painful switch type stick, sturdy, flexible and thick enough to deliver a blow if used on the head and thin enough to use against the legs, arms and bare skin for pain.

If the protesters start getting violent, especially with the police, I think the police are justified in returning the sentiment.

As a retired correctional officer, I would prefer a riot baton which can be used for defense as well as offense.

Actually, I prefer to see them get hit with ball shots like this one:

Let’s not be 18th century. Use cattle prods to sensitive areas instead.

So besides supporting the palistinians, you are supporting antifa and dsa, who are what the protesters that aren’t students actually are.

Well, I’d give them a nice south African necklace if it were up to me. How did so-called university students ever get so retarded and full of hateful bigotry?

Maybe we should just necklace the “educators” instead?

Using force against terrorists is fine by me.

I am fine with clubbing students, or seals.

I support the police using the type of clubs the seal hunters in Newfoundland used to use in the manner in which the seal hunters used to use them.

IF you knock enough of the crap out of their heads there might be room for some brains.

Harman Killabrew autograph model 42 ounce Louisville Slugger would be my choice. And use it til my arms aches.
