Cool pics

The grainy black-and-white images look as if they belong in a Keystone Kops silent comedy.

But their intention was deadly serious.

These pictures feature real police officers demonstrating the art of self defence in a force instruction manual issued more than 100 years ago.

Very cool article. But is anyone else imagining a vaudeville piano playing while looking at the pictures?
