The victim had a white stick, did his assailants need one, too?

It would appear so, sandy.

I live 2 miles from Chorley, there are several rumours doing the rounds locally that the real culprit with the samurai was actually left to it.

I simply don't have the words, unbelievable lack of common sense judgement and yes eyesight :-(

[marval]

That is appalling, how could they not tell the difference. I feel so sorry for the blind man.

[Zeuhl]

Don't you have to get quite close to use a taser? :-[

[Zeuhl]

Where is kerosene now?

""I hit my head on the floor, then this policeman came around. I said 'I'm blind, I'm blind. I'm blind'.""

Bet they thought they'd blinded him too!

[emmie]

perhaps the poor chap was also rather hard of hearing, so didn't hear them say stop. I don't know how one confuses a sword with a white stick.

Good gracious what an awful story - poor man, he wouldn't know what was happening. Mistakes can be made but hardly this!!!

[Wordist]

Another reason not to give them all guns.

[sandyRoe]

He should think himself lucky it was only a tazer they used on him.
There was a Scotsman having a drink in a London pub and someone reported he had a gun in a bag. It was only a table leg but that didn't stop the police shooting him dead when he went outside.

more from the local paper, they actually handcuffed him behind his back.
