More taser fun

Crusader Nabbed By Michigan Cops

Medieval sword, mallet, armor no match for ye olde Taser
AUGUST 5--Meet Robert McClain. The Michigan man, 42, was arrested last week after he attempted to literally go medieval on cops. According to the below Royal Oak Police Department report, officers were dispatched to McClain's home after a motorist called 911 to report that McClain had fled the scene of an auto accident. When they arrived at his crib, McClain allegedly tried to strike a cop with a four-foot sword. After missing, McClain retreated to his basement, where he donned a chainmail armored vest and leather gauntlets to protect his arms. He also added a giant wooden mallet to his arsenal and beckoned officers to come downstairs and get him. "I'm gonna crush your fucking skulls," McClain warned. Then, in a nice rhetorical flourish (for a lunatic, at least), he added, "I have a thousand years of power." That omnipotence, however, was no match for a police Taser, which felled McClain. He was then carted off and charged with felony assault and a misdemeanor count for failing to remain at an accident scene.

From the sound of it, this might be one of those few cases where a taser is absolutely the best option (IMO).
They couldn't go downstairs after the guy without certain injury and possible serious injury, and the guy was obviously out to hurt them.

I thought he was back around. He may be getting his sword sharpened to go seek vengeance for his fallen brother.

Guess he forgot his Boots of Escaping. :lol:

Good thing they didn't use that microwave thing on him with all that metal, he would have been toasted.
