Cops get handbook for unruly witches

BRITISH police officers on patrol for Halloween celebrations have been armed with a 300-page handbook that includes information on how to deal with unruly witches.

The handbook - prepared by London's Metropolitan police - contains information and instructions for officers on dealing with followers of various beliefs, including witchery.

The helpful advice warns police officers to be wary of a witch's Book of Shadows, which contains their spells, and to watch out for their ceremonial dagger.

Known as an "athame," the dagger is "not intended to be used as an offensive weapon but mi

Nine pages of the handbook are dedicated to atheists.

The handbook says that: "Atheists have no dietary requirements other than those of the individual. There are no designated places of worship. There are no prescribed texts. Atheists have no prayers. [But] be aware that atheists might feel offended by an assumption of faith."

Ok I understand informing police about ceremonial daggers on real witchs during Halloween celebrations.

But 9 pages on atheists,that sounds like alot?

How would they even spot an atheist on Halloween,are they the ones with natural red horns?

And lets not upset them by saying what? "they have faith in no faith"

I`d like to read that hand book,to see what they say on all the beliefs.

My girlfriend has an original book from 1722 called "A treatise on witchcraft" about witch hunting, the last chapter says that anyone that has Kidney Stones is a witch. I wonder if this new book has such accurate information too

I read that book a while back. Man, there was some really sick, demented things in that book.

Sad to say, a lot of people still think that way, even centuries and technological advances later. Really, really sad.

Well thats disturbing,how exactly would they have known someone had kidney stones back in 1722 without cutting them open to see?

Might as well just see if she weighs the same as a duck,either way they`ll wind up dead.

That's a real smart use of public funds; maybe the cops will use those manuals hit those darned witches in the head

That's idiotic enough to have been done here in the US.

Really though, what yahoo thought that was needed? Just treat everyone the same: according to the law.

Well I can understand warning police on the witchs knives,in case of knee jerk reactions etc.

But its boggling my mind on what could be said about athiests and how to handle them that takes 9 pages?

When they have no belief other than their own.

Glad to see the old bill getting some kind of guidance on how to enforce the silly laws we have.

and if your going create guidance on how to deal with one faith, then you should at least be fair and do the same for all faiths, hmmmm wonder if there is a Jedi section

At first glance, I thought this was some sort of joke. Halloween isn't even anywhere as expansive in the UK as it is in America. Keep on the look out for Witch's spell books? Please.. Knives on the other hand are common sense to be wary of.

Same here in Australia,but the media is definitely pushing it to become as common and as celebrated as in the US.we had hordes of kids knocking on our door yesterday.

I hid,some of them kids looked scary,besides no one gets my lollies.
