Nightstick Justice NEW!
Shade was a criminal who used a "nightstick" that could create a shroud of darkness, perfect for making getaways during heists. He received an anonymous summons to an abandoned warehouse where Lex Luthor proposed the formation of the Injustice Gang, an organization created to destroy the Justice League. Shade constantly complained that he didn't earn enough money. The Gang planned to destroy the League's Watchtower by placing a bomb inside, but the League disabled it in time. The League confronted the Injustice Gang at their hideout, and defeated the villains in battle.
Nightstick Justice
Without his nightstick, he was powerless. However, in the Secret Society's final battle with the Justice League, Shade revealed that he had compensated for this disadvantage by studying martial arts. He put them to the test against Batman, who didn't know about Shade's recent training and was caught off guard by his initial attack. Shade landed the first blow, but once Batman was ready for him, Shade was easily outmaneuvered, with a simple kick.
A baton (also known as a truncheon or nightstick) is a roughly cylindrical club made of wood, rubber, plastic, or metal. It is carried as a compliance tool and defensive weapon[1] by law-enforcement officers, correctional staff, security guards and military personnel.
In New York, the police used to use two kinds of batons depending on the time. The one for daytime was called a day-stick and was 280 mm (11 in) in length. Another baton, that was used at night, was 660 mm (26 in) long and called a night-stick, which is the origin of the word "nightstick". The night-stick was longer so it could provide extra protection which was thought to be necessary at night.[4]
At one location, Jerry Jackson and King Samir Shabazz, carrying a nightstick, stood outside dressed in black, official-looking garb. The two were accused of making intimidating remarks to voters, both black and white.
The Justice Department dropped the case against all but King Samir Shabazz, saying that his display of a nightstick "supported the allegation of voter intimidation." Justice did obtain an injunction, good until 2012, prohibiting him from displaying a weapon within 100 feet of a polling place.
Through the use of rich materials and disciplines such as painting, sculpture, drawing and installation Ekin Saçlıoğlu brings together the fictional and real world. Inversion and dualities such as fiction-real, natural-artificial, animate and inanimate as well as memory, dreams, stories and tales, animals and plants, and the relationship of different species present themselves in her work through metaphors. Bird and Nightstick Flowers is a painting and sculpture duo associated with the absurd correlation of justice, vulnerability and violence. The image of the baton confronts us through the vegetation in the sculptures and paintings.
Police ordered the Army veteran off the bus, and as Woodard tried to explain his side of the story, he was beaten in the face with a nightstick by the town sheriff, Linwood Shull. After Woodard was taken to jail, Shull continued to beat him, repeatedly striking him in the face and pounding his eyes with the end of the nightstick. Woodard was left for the night with no first aid or treatment.

It was a nightmare when they took him out. First of all, he had a such a bruise on his head, they beat him on the head with something, a nightstick or something else.... Then I looked, he didn't tell me right away, and it turned out that they had worked on him with tear gas! Right in his eyes. Red eyes.... He was all hysterical! He had to throw up.
At the police station, Afon'kin said he was taken to an office and told to write "a confession": "He put a pen on the table and a piece of paper. And said: `Write!' Well, and if you don't know what to write, he took a nightstick, beat you up and said: `Write!.'... They beat, mostly, on the back. On the kidneys with their nightsticks."144 Afon'kin did not have access to a lawyer from the moment of his detention. He was kept in detention for four months and released on the personal guarantee of a local human rights organization. The case was sent back for further investigation at least twice and the trial had not started as of late March 1999.
