Cops shoot Alzheimer's man with Tasers

Peter Russell, 59, was shot with the 50,000-volt stun guns during a struggle with SIX cops in front of his distressed wife.

The former farm worker tried to rip out the Taser darts before officers reportedly tied up his arms and legs.

Humberside Police said the controversial electronic weapon was used because Mr Russell refused to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

Police are using these things for any reasons now, most of the time there is a better way, there has been a fewdeaths over here lately as a result of tasers..

Shocking! They don't even really use them as a last resort now either more of an easy way out rather than trying to calm the person down.

Doesn't look good for them now.

In N. S. W. they still shoot them. No training and panick, thats wht it is
