The vicious criminal was naked, balancing on a railing and armed with a fluorescent bulb and the brave NYPD had only a tazer with which to save the city

Uhhh, the NYPD police handbook contains no information about the direction people fall when tazered, the police officer in question was completely within regulations to assume that he might fall up or perhaps flat against the building.

And the Tazer powered the lightbulb, thus saving CO2 emissions and helping to illuminate that great city at minimal cost to the public.

Great decision I say and I wish this kind of lateral thinking could be adopted in today's police force in the UK.

Such a standoff here would have cost £100,000 in police time and resources with a negotiator, an ACPO rank commander, 20 officers and also cost for McDonalds, cigarettes and cider for the bulb waver.
