A constitutional amendment is the only way to add a law in florida via referendum. It needs a 60% majority because of an amendment passed in 2004 that changed it from needing a simple majority. That amendment passed with 58% of the vote.

Welsh police pepper spray 4- & 5-yo kids in botched weapons demonstration

Gwent Police accidentally sprayed a class of four and five year olds with pepper spray at a school in Wales during a botched weapons demonstration. The weapons were accidentally deployed during a visit from officers to Ysgol Gymraeg Gilfach Fargoed, in Bargoed, Caerphilly, while giving a lesson on police equipment.

The officers were reportedly intending to demonstrate the use of pepper spray using a mock PAVA spray, but accidentally discharged a real canister. Eight pupils aged four and five were hit with the spray, which causes the eyes to close and is extremely painful.

None of the children required hospital treatment, but parents were urged to seek medical assistance if they had concerns about their children’s welfare. One parent said that although she was unimpressed with the officers’ conduct, she believed the discharge of chemicals was “a genuine mistake.”

“My son was in the class when the pepper spray was released. We had a phone call from the school to say it had happened. I'm not happy about it, but at the same time, it seems to be a genuine mistake.”

A spokesperson for the police said that “parents were contacted by a senior officer to explain what happened, discuss any concerns, and offer our sincere apologies.”

In a similar case, a 7-year-old girl was injured during a weapons demonstration on November 6 at a police station in Nottinghamshire.

The girl, who remains unnamed, reportedly received a cut lip after an ammunition cartridge fell and bounced as a gun was fired. She was touring a police station in Sherwood Lodge, the headquarters of the Nottinghamshire Police Force.

The incidents have sparked calls for an investigation into the safety of weapon demonstrations.

Caerphilly Council representative Tudor Davies said an inquiry into the incident was necessary, saying, “You don’t pepper spray children, at the end of the day.” The accidental discharge of chemicals occurred on October 30, but details were not publicly available until the story got out on November 6.

The police spokesperson said modifications were being made to weapons demonstration procedure.

Strongly disagree with Caerphilly Council representative Tudor Davies imo. Also all american copgoons please record yourselves trying to say " Ysgol Gymraeg Gilfach Fargoed, in Bargoed, Caerphilly" tia

I'm pretty sure you won't get many takers on calling dread Cthulhu back to wakefulness there.

Can't *really* call it a botch. poo poo worked just fine, and it's better to find out that it'll stop an agitated five-year-old in a demo than in a real riot or assault.

Just like accidentally loading the "Less Lethal" shotgun with 000 3" Mag Goosefuckers, can happen to anyone...

There are now shitloads of people demanding that we suspend the use of tazers.

I'm hoping that by Monday, Gwent police won't have tazers or PAVA spray so the public can really see what happens when a slag get's tuned up with a steel ASP

The dude was baiting the cops on that one to be sure, and hopefully they handled the guy with kid gloves as much as possible, but that IS a lovely law. It's a problem with the city, though, not law enforcement.

seriously who gives a gently caress that a guy is feeding homeless people. gently caress all city councils who lord over their cities like little kings and make laws to protect their precious property values. The day I write a city ordinance ticket is the day I hand in my loving badge and sell used cars. One of the mayors in my county has a loving poo poo fit about campers and trailers being parked on the street for more than 24 hours, to the point where he chalks tires and calls us the second 24 hours runs up. Hes a bastard and all his kind are bastards. He was also a senior NCO in the SD air guard so i'm sure its all par for the course there about being a petty dick.

Yeah, I agree. Problem is everywhere says ARREST ARREST ARREST. So people are of course angry at the cops for yoking the old dude up taking him to jail and throwing away the key. Except they took the plates out of their hands, walked them to the side, and wrote him and the other guy a ticket. :ssh:.

Especially when they're with family members at gatherings when people want to pick an argument with you because of all their dumb cop stories and how they're harassed but "you're different than those other cops". No, I'm not, I'd have done the same thing as the cops in your story, stop being a dumbass maybe?

This is a nice moment for me to chip in with the news that over here the drink drive limit is being reduced to 22 micro grams alcohol per 100 of breath. A pretty serious drop from 35 before.

That's what you get, you get fork stabbed.

Same on one side of the family, with a generous splash of crazy Doomsday Prepper/Sovereign Citizen mentality. Rich, heavy drinking gun nuts who don't think they need drivers licenses or concealed carry permits. Neat.

This is why I was dreading getting asked "Would you ticket your mother for speeding or arrest your mother for smoking marijuana?" type questions at the oral boards. Everyone told me the best answer is "no", because only liars say "yes" and no one would actually cite/arrest their own mother unless they are a complete dick (who probably shouldn't be police).

But I'd totally arrest my mom.

Glad they didn't ask me that question, I guess.

There's a parallel between Ness and Season 5 Capone. It would've been redundant to commit an entire season's worth of Chicago scenes to TWO media whores.

Wut

How are you remotely "drunk" from one drink? Are you like 120lbs?

I've drank two pints of beer in 30 minutes and blown almost zero on a roadside ASD at a checkstop right outside the bar.

I'm a big guy and I don't feel much from two drinks, so that's my limit. It definitely isn't impeding my ability to operate a vehicle by a noticeable or probably even measurable amount.

A good day.
