Police use Taser on blind man after stick mistaken for sword

Wednesday, October 17, 2012 7:13 AM

Mr Williams said police had "received a number of reports that a man was walking through Chorley armed with a samurai sword".

"A description of the offender was circulated to officers and patrols were sent to look for the man," he said.

"One of the officers who arrived in Chorley believed he had located the offender.

"Despite asking the man to stop, he failed to do so and the officer discharged his Taser."

Mr Williams said it "became apparent that this man was not the person we were looking for and officers attended to him straight away", taking him to Chorley Hospital.

He added that the force "deeply regrets what has happened". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-19979184

Look's like target practice.

The police just love their teasers and they are just dieing to use them. They even use use them on each other and on new requites who wish to know what it feels like. Sometime its a requirement, even for girls who join the force. After that they feel there is "no big deal" as it did not hurt as much as they thought it would. If I were to be shot with a gun I might survive but a teaser, No way would I survive. I am surprised that so many do survive, but perhaps they have a stronger heart then mine.

Now for something more pleasent... 

This is a photo from Mars of one of its ..more thoughtful citizens.. but at least it is not holding a gun or a teaser like a highway patrolman on earth.

let me see, the PIG asked the man to stop? didnt tell him to stop? what the fuck is with that? and after the pig, didnt tell him to stop, he shot his ass with a fucking tazer? right? fuck the pig! i say! if this is in fact what happen and is true. fuck popo.....fuck POPO

I don't know who's worse in this story, the police tazing the poor man or the dim-witted people calling in numerous reports of a man walking around with a supposed sword. To me, the idiots who couldn't figure out the man was blind and walking with a stick are just as culpable.

WTF!!!!

that is so funny, hmm..in a good way. i was going in my mind. how does a blind person walk, and the person looking doesnt know the person is blind, is he/she going like zoro or something, waving the cane in the air and making a large Z in frabric or something....what a bunch of jackasses, tara your so right. and the pig/police, there is no excuse, they should have known. hell zap the poor mofo then lets figure this shit out, better safe then sorry, that is just so much BULLSHIT!
