Sgt. Casey Day was skeptical. The chief of his rural Northern California police department wanted him to find out if an ancient martial arts weapon made famous in 1970s Bruce Lee movies could be used to subdue unruly suspects.
But it only took a few days of training with nunchucks to win over Day. The weapon—two solid sticks of plastic attached by a foot-long nylon cord—was recently added to the Anderson Police Department’s arsenal.
The department of 20 sworn officers about 200 miles north of San Francisco joined several other U.S. law enforcement agencies that use nunchucks as “less than lethal” weapons 20 years after their popularity peaked.
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 violence. …

“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.
What happens if a police officer pulls up to a crime scene and the perps have guns? Slap the bullets away?
I make myself a set, major bust if found on me?
I wonder what the charge is if you connect two banana’s to a chain?
If the Bloods or Crips are there, inducement and entrapment...filed against the cop
Nunchuck fails.

I don't know, but you can expect a visit from moochelle.
They'll sling their ninja stars at 'em.
That last guy doing two chuks at once was doing great—until he racked himself!
Funny stuff.
Those are hilarious!
Make those kind of mistakes with a long sword or katana, though, and you’re going to the hospital. Or the morgue.

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.
or better yet go into slow-mo bullet time and use ninja moves to do limbo moves to evade the bullets. All libtards who've seen The Matrix know this is possible.../s
i'd pay to watch that...: )
So, see?, nothing to worry about.
