Retarded copper Pc David Micklethwaite, a firearms course failure, accidentally shot civilian work Keith Tilbury in the stomach with a Magnum, landing Tilbury in intensive care for two weeks. Clearly the only Magnum dimbo Micklethwaite should be in possession of is the ice-cream.
Still, it could have been worse: if Tilbury had been a Brazilian electrician he’d be very dead. Tasers anyone?
‘police’ ‘gun’ and ‘stupidity’ all in the same sentence — now that’s too good to miss! like a magnum with white choc, dark choc and caramel. tho it may leave something of an aftertaste.
(the surreal word verification is springfield bussing, which given that the story could have been a simpsons plotline is not so odd)
This news story from ‘ought seven shows the good restraint used by police armed with tazers. Had the victim been a Brazilian plumber, I feel another 5 tazers would have been justified:-

A Magnum? What the hell was he doing with a magnum? Who, Dirty Harry aside, needs a magnum? That’s a hand cannon, what is wrong with 9 mil?!
