"The idea for the new ten-inch torch was conceived just days after news cameras broadcast images of L-A-P-D officers beating a car-theft suspect with a two-pound, two-foot long standard issue flashlight. "

I keep one of those flashlights under the front seat of my car. There's lots of crazy people on the road these days.

Some with badges.

[Leisler]

These are nice. You never know when you have to climb an ice fall, and, all three ends are hurtful.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The left doesn't care if police are beat up. They want criminals to get away with crime.

The ol' MagLight knuckle-knocker is always within reach -- with a good excuse (more light on the subject!)--

...Awaiting anyone who reaches into the vehicle without being invited...

It's a "We the People".... thing-a-ma-bob

"New LAPD flashlights are too small to be used as weapons"

Nuts. It's size won't keep it from being used as a weapon, although any video of it being used as such won't look as bad as if it were larger.

[Doctor Raoul]

As if the police were not allowed to have weapons?

There will come a day when the PC left will call for cops to patrol without guns.
