The Expandable Baton is Not a Self Defense Tool | Police Should Not Carry Batons



The expandable baton is one of the most useless tools regularly carried by police. It has absolutely no track record of desirable results and is responsible for some of the worst cases of police brutality ever.

I do not understand why this thing still exists.

This is just a short playlist of some baton fails that illustrate some of the points in this video. Do you know of many… or any… instances of the baton actually working as intended?
