I'll take the dancing cops.

This feels so much like the good old The Colbert Report.

Aren't nunchucks pretend weapons for kung-fu movies? They look cool when Bruce Lee is twirling them around, but not actually all that useful in a real fight?

Unless, of course, you're just using them as a garotte which is what the police will do.

Bolos would be pretty cool, though.

edit: Um, okay a bolo is not at all what I thought it was. Police shouldn't have those. I'm thinking of the thing with a couple weights attached by a cord that you throw to tangle up someone's leg. A bolus, maybe?

ed2: Er, no, a bolus isn't at all what I thought it was either. Can't say as whether police should have those. WTF is the name of the thing I'm trying to think of?

ed3: Bolas, ha! Yeah, them.

They're real weapons and actually Japanese in origin.

And no, they weren't particularly useful. They're very difficult to use well and obviously, it's pretty easy to injure yourself with them.
