61 Year Old Blind man with white stick Tasered in the UK... thought he might have sword.

Shot in the back with a 50,000-volt Taser by police, this blind man has had two strokes and had already spent 2 months in the hospital this year. He hoped that the incident wouldn't precipitate another stroke.

The only good thing I see about this is that most police in the UK don't carry guns.
