Theres got to be a logical explanation for this.

Maybe her nose was itchy and she got the handcuffs stuck under her chin as she was stretching to scratch her nose and choked herself to death while she was scratching?

Dude. Really.

Ueshiba was a religious nut.

Aikido is a weekly social for fat, old hippies and not good for much else.

I just saved you a lot of money and time.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jupiters_release', 'I') suggest Aikido, probably the most non-violent yet most powerful art of submission.

Police are necessary to keep criminals under control.

The poor woman who died in police custody at the phoenix airport
was handcuffed behind her back, and the handcuffs were attached by a 2 foot chain to a bench. She choked on the 2 foot long chain.

woman dies at Phoenix airport in police custody

I thought police took away belts and such to prevent self-injury. The two foot chain the police used in this case, in hindsight, was lethal.

The watchers don't like to be watched. Hey I know, let's have secret police.

I love it when your webhost works against you instead of with you.

[Tyler_JC]

In my hometown, everyone knew where they cops lived because they threw block parties or coached little league. It's fine in a low crime suburb for information about the addresses of cops to be public knowledge.

If you're a police officer in a dangerous area of LA, I can fully understand wanting to keep one's home address private.

What if a cop arrests a gang member, only to have his family murdered by the other gang members once they google his address?

I'm just saying that I can understand the hesitation to allow the general public to tract down the homes of police officers.

[Stratovarius]

I agree...Cops should remain anonymous and unknown for the sake of preventing further revenge from disgruntled criminals. Google can be a good or bad thing.

[jboogy]

Public officials paid for by tax dollars. Addresses and phone numbers were not to be listed, names are available anyway, the website got the cops names from publicly accessable databases. They don't want a database where their employers can rate their performance, pure and simple. Funny how they can release your name to newspapers when you get arrested, before you're convicted. Any means to "police" the police is welcome, as far as a snot-riding banana is concerned.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP)— Springfield's men in black are returning.
The city's new police commissioner, William Fitchet, says members of the department's Street Crime Unit will again don black, military-style uniforms as part of his strategy to deal with youth violence.
Fitchet's predecessor, Edward Flynn, had ditched the black attire as part of an effort to soften the image of the unit. Flynn left Springfield in January to become the police chief in Milwaukee.
Sgt. John Delaney told a city council hearing Wednesday that the stark uniforms send a message to criminals that officers are serious about making arrests.
Delaney said a sense of "fear" has been missing for the past few years. …

Does mean parents are going to stop telling their kids that a policeman is their best friend in times of feeling lost or worried?

[perdition79]

The black uniforms work; by putting on the "fear" costume, the police shift their roles in the community from a public-servant-to-citizen relationship, into a much more predator-to-prey relationship.

All black works for civilians, too. Let your face go unshaven for a few days, then throw on all black clothing, with no labels or decals, don't smile. You'll notice a fear reaction in everybody you deal with.

One of the English forces did this a while ago, I think Nottinghamshire or Leicestershire.
