I always pay more attention now whenever I see any news item from India, be it on YouTube or television, just to see if any of the policemen are swinging those around for crowd control. The Bombay Police are getting all high tech these days, they've shifted from their bamboo, brass tipped lathis to nice new white fibre glass ones that are probably less liable to break but don't look anything like as pretty. Something I don't miss from my military career: riot drill as part of Aid to the Civil Power training, especially if you were told off as a rioter. Canadian Forces-issue riot batons were the finest ash, and fluted so that you could scalp someone not wearing headgear if you struck a glancing blow. (ObSMN: this sort of training was given to all basic trainees in the 1970s--even future matelots, who might be called upon to defend HMC Dockyard against strikers. As police capabilities improved, it was dropped from course training plans.) -- Andrew Chaplin SIT MIHI GLADIUS SICUT SANCTO MARTINO (If you're going to e-mail me, you'll have to get "yourfinger." out.) |
