This Green Party idea to strip police of tasers and pepper spray is absolutely insane… but the real story is the media’s obsession with it.A Green Party member has proposed a motion that could withdraw tasers and pepper spray from officers. I disagree with the concept, yet it’s just one idea going to a vote — not official policy. Watch what a former Manchester chief of police says about why these tools are safer than the old batons and truncheons, how over 90% of incidents de-escalate just by showing the light, and why removing them would increase risk to officers and the public.In this video I break down:The exact motion and democratic process inside the Green Party (including Zack Polanski’s comments)
Expert insight on regulated, scrutinised use of tasers and PAVA spray in an unarmed force
Why outlets focus on this while ignoring other motions on Ukraine solidarity or agricultural policy.
The political reality: Greens’ limited electoral ceiling and what junior partners actually achieve in coalitions.
Why root-and-branch media reform is needed so public-interest coverage isn’t driven purely by clicks.
Police training prioritises de-escalation. Tools that reduce the need for physical force matter. At the same time, presenting every draft motion as imminent policy misleads viewers.
