Not those silly expandable ones, I think they're still illegal and anyway, they aren't much use.

No, I mean the police-standard side-handle baton, AKA the martial arts weapon known as the tonfa. Just a stick with another stick on the side, AFAIK it's legal everywhere…can't ban sticks!

Someone (ideally wearing a kippah) should get in this thug's face and if he so much as blinks, he should be acquainted with the capabilities of the weapon. I mean, pro-Pal militants have been seen carrying them at protests in Cali so this little hood rat should learn just how useful they are.
