UK Police Post About A Sword Taken Off The Streets, Internet Can’t Stop Laughing
Being a police officer is not easy, every day you have to deal with extremely dangerous situations and you are not only responsible for your own well-being but also for thousands of other people that desperately need your help. Having this amount of pressure on your shoulders is definitely tiring and difficult to handle, but at the end of the day – it’s always worth it. Although we do respect policemen and the work they do, sometimes some of their actions and decisions might put a smile on your face, and it’s our duty to share these situations with you.
Recently, a UK police department shared a post that quickly received a lot of attention online
People couldn’t stop laughing at the hilarious find and how seriously it was taken

Not sure why it's so funny. It's a weapon. Okay, not a gun but it is still dangerous. Knife crime is a problem and this is a f*****g big knife!
I think (and do not want to insult anyone or something like that) most of the comments could have been from Americans. At least that would explain their reactions. In a country where gun crimes are daily routine a "little knife" might seem like childplay.

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
So, this guy pulls the sword out of a stone and is on his way to save Britain. He gets busted and now Britain is stuck with Brexit. I sense Morgana at work here.
Sorry, not a joke. Wish it was, but knife crime has been a rising problem in uk. Thank goodness guns are difficult for street idiots to get hold of.
I'm British and had a sword (well, WWI bayonet) pulled on me once. Glad that swords are off the street.... Same for guns too.
I don’t care what all yall say. That thing looks dangerous!! People do get get killed with kitchen knives. But I admit, does look Game of Thrones.
I suspect most of the comments above were made by Americans... strangely.
Um, okay, but not all Americans are bad. Just saying.

It'd be hard to use at all since it's missing the pommel and probably made of chrome steel that'll snap at the first blow but let's be honest- it's a sword. A very big sharp chunk of metal that can easily kill. In Britain where the weapon of choice for violence is any blade they can grab. They have a knife crime epidemic and a sword is just a big knife it's easy to kill with. It is dangerous.
I remember a notice a few years ago. Three people tried to break into the house of a men who was armed with a katana. He defended himself and left the thief's with the police. Lots of blood though.
in england even if you are defending yourself you cannot use a "bigger"weapon than the assailant. for example if someone attacks you with a knife, you can't shoot him with a gun...r******d, i know. you should carry a whole armory. what's that mate, a piece of glass? oh s**t.

Is it just me, or does it look like the sword is missing a part. Can sword still be held together without a pommel?
Yes, it can. The tang of the blade that is covered by the hilt holds it together in this case. A partial tang does not extend all the way through the hilt and is normally not more than half the width of the blade. If the blade is sharp, it is going to hurt someone.

Oh my! Glad to see their finally doing something about common sense sword control. I had a relative from the 12 century killed by one of those..... but dang they like totally missed.... the car, the gasoline in the car!, the poison in the car ( anti freeze & washer fluid) , the boiling oil in the car, the alternator & battery for torture & electrocution in the car! Wow!
Asked for comment the NSA (National Sword Association) had this to say, "Swords don't kill people. People kill people."
Thankfully we don't have those idiots in the UK.

I expect people local to the moron who had the sword feel safer.

It's a home made sword made for nefarious purposes. It is not a collectors item.

It doesn't look remotely like a bar but let's run with that for the moment... is it possible to hurt someone with a 'bar of metal' with a hilt? Yes. So still worthy of being removed from the idiots that had it.

It is illegal in the UK so of course they took it.
