I think you're confusing tasering with lasering.

I think the police confused tasering with phasering. Luckily they set to stun rather than kill.

Imagine if the old guys vision had been restored after the tasering. Truly a story worthy of NickFitz monday links from the future.

A blind person wouldn't really have the visual clue and so would just assume it was shouting. Of course Old Hack will dispute this. Old Hack is placed in a blindfold and shouted at would be able to tell the distance, direction and even the hair colour of the shouter. I have been led to believe this is because of years of Kung Fu and Cricket training to a semi professional level. He's the David Carradine of the blindfolded world and possibly the bedroom cupboard, orange in mouth world as well.

You are a aren't you. Did you not see the italics around the apparently? Do you understand what I could have meant by this.

Where the fook did that fat riddled brain get king fu? Cricket I have played semi professionally, what's the fookin big deal fat boy? Do you know what that actually means? There are others on this board who have played senior level sport. Go wag those fat fookin fingers at them.

God you drain me of hope for this feckin race sometimes MF

No wonder so many people chipped in to get you to fook off for a while

Fortunate for him that he wasn't also carrying a repaired chair leg

[SupremeSpod]

Goddamn, he was lucky.

Unlike this poor sod:

Police 'killed deaf cyclist with stun gun after he failed to obey instructions to stop' | Mail Online

Sorry it's the wail.

How much is his house worth and who inherited it?

[BrilloPad]

I think he would be pretty traumatised, and is one case who deserves his compensation.

Sorry but I don't think he deserves compensation. Only because their is way too much compensation culture out there.

But the officer should be sacked. Blind cretin.

[MarillionFan]

Without a visual cue to indicate that "Stop now" is directed at you (when you're doing nothing that would warrant being yelled at) it's understandable he didn't realise it was a) the police and b) being shouted at him.

Has anyone here been tasered?

Apparently almost everyone at the last CUK meet up.

[mudskipper]

Apparently the chap did himself no favours by ignoring the 'stop now' command, but really, could he really not tell it was a white stick, or was he practising Ninja moves with it?

I am very happy the chap is already taking advise on how to act now 'scared to go out', 'really affected my personality', 'I sometimes taste the electricity in my sleep'. Good man, should get a nice lump sum for his retirement.

Officer should be drummed out of the force. Old fella like that chap could have keeled over.

Has anyone here been tasered? I went to a BBQ once where someone had a taser, and by the evening, most men were keen to try it. I didn't, as I don't drink, but tulip it was funny.

[Platypus]

No, no, perfectly reasonable .... according to some posters on here who think the police can do no wrong

[Robinho]

Sounds like the end of Return of the Jedi.

[lilelvis2000]

Probably an officer demoted from the terror squad. They all have itchy trigger fingers apparently.

Poor guy didn't even see it coming
