I saw the video on the news. That kid is going to own them.
I didn’t know cops still carried those flapjack(I think that’s what they are called) things. Archaic intermediate weapon in my opinion.

Ah... blackjack.

I think you meant blackjack.

A lot of departments have banned or discouraged their use. It takes a lot of practice to get the right touch with the things, and the old way of getting that practice isn’t “available” anymore.

I knew an old cop that could give your elbow a light tap in the right place and your arm would pretty much go floppy for 5 minutes, but not have any permanent damage. He could also put your lights out with equal ease.

Ah, the ol' PR-24. Nothing is quite so good for really walloping a handcuffed suspect...

Nothing worse than getting hit with pancakes!

They are not flapjacks, those are pancakes, the correct name is "BlackJack" or, in common usage, a "sap".
