    Default only in america

    just picked this up on ABC news

    Man arrested for throwing own prosthetic legs:eek:

    An man has hurled both of his prosthetic legs at a state trooper, striking him with one, after his son was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, police in the US say.

    The incident began when the trooper stopped a sport utility vehicle going the wrong way on a highway in southern Oregon.

    The trooper at first detained only the driver, Adam Kackstetter, 26, after he became aggressive.

    But then his father, Joel Kackstetter, 53, a passenger in the vehicle, grew hostile, a police spokesman says.

    The senior Kackstetter charged at the arresting officer several times before the trooper knocked him to the ground, the police report says.

    "Passenger removed a prosthetic leg and threw it at trooper, hitting trooper in chest. Passenger removed second leg, threw it at trooper but missed," (:confused:.... Why I ask? ) the report said.

    The father and son face multiple charges including assault on a public safety officer.

    "It got to be quite a dangerous situation. I think the officer used a lot of discretion and restraint in the amount of force that he used in this situation," Ed Caleb said, Klamath County district attorney.

    A lawyer for the Kackstetters could not be immediately reached for comment

    Copper obviously arrested the wrong bloke for drink driving.

    Clearly it was the father that was legless.......

    (Insert massive groan here)

    Sorry. I'll go now.

    I don't believe it. Nobody's called Kackstetter.
