Where in all of that was Sophie Kahn?

Where in all of that was Sophie Kahn?

In her own little world where everyone is an upstanding member of society, like she always is.

I just saw this on Crimewatch he got 43 months what a joke.

Three years and 7 months? Better than most sentences

Not such a big man when he takes a baton hit and drops the knife is he? Trying to run away and shouting "Alright alright". Scum.

Its actually a pretty fair sentence

What does Sophie Khan have to do with this? Why are some people on this forum so obsessed with the woman that they feel the need to mention her at every opportunity? This is about the only place I ever see her name mentioned.

Probably because she is very persistently vocal about taser being an inappropriate device for any and all situations as she equates it to torture and the fact that she represents a great many taser 'victims' 

And she was working in conjunction with the college of policing to advise them, until she quit.

Makes your stomach turn.

Anyone else get the impression that he was baiting the officer? At around 00:20 you can hear him say something along the lines of "Come on - use force, you tw*t!". Makes me wonder if there's more to this story...

In most other parts of the world he would simply have been shot, it's a good job he wasn't really determined (not that he wasn't threatening enough) or it could have been far worse, it's a good job the baton strikes were enough to put him off.

In this case she's got a point. Taser is completely inappropriate response to this lunatic - he should have been shot.

Why? or are you going off the fact he pulled a knife on an officer and suggesting he deserved to be shot?

If you are looking realistically at a male with a knife trying to attack a police officer, the safest way to disable and disarm is with a firearm. I carry taser and i am under no illusion about it. I know that I have a good chance of it completely failing. 

The likelihood if a hand gun failing is far lower than a taser. At least if you miss you get another shot
