Default Terror police tasered man in coma

Mr Gaubert said he was on his way to meet friends when he suffered a hypoglycaemic fit on the bus which left him slumped on his seat clutching his rucksack.

Armed police were called to the bus depot in Headingley and when he failed to respond to their challenges he was shot with the Taser.
He said as this was happening, another officer was pointing a real gun at his head.

He was restrained and eventually came round in the police van. He said it was only then that the officers realised it was a medical emergency, despite him wearing a medical tag round his neck to warn of his condition, and took him to hospital.

WDF were the police expecting? For they guy to wake up from his coma and say "don't tase me bro!"

He also had a medical bracelet they should have checked first

All because the man looked like he was Egyptian

But what if a new, more taze resistant breed of people develop? We might have to start using guns! Or we could welcome our new taze resistant overlords.

Wow just wow.. I havent heard of any sleep walking suicide bombers.. Guess they must have included a section on that topic in the british terror manual, right after the section about shooting a brazilian man in the head 7 times after he's already dead..

LOL! You got me...

If everyone carried tasers, there wouldn't be a need for guns...

Can we just combine all these taser stories into one thread. They all end up going the same direction. I saw this one and wasn't sure if I should laugh or cry.

Clearly anyone clutching their rucksack is a security threat.

Ha ha. I shuddered when I saw this one come up.
