This is a normal post The copper says to him that they tased him for *his* safety
Hmm

This is a normal post Safer for him than twatting him with a baton.
It sounds like the officer said it was because he was going for *himself* with the knife so disabling him was safer.

This is a normal post I would guess he is a mentally troubled soul
I was under the impression that our armed police can be called out for situations like that; given the circumstances tasering him seems fairly kind.

This is a normal post Given the alternative...
I think I'll side with the cops on this one.
If I could form a sentence half as calm and rational as that after disarming a knife wielding attacker, I'd consider myself a legitimate bad-ass.

This is a normal post No doubt they were cool customers
What I meant was that they were tasering him for their safety, he was wielding two big knives around in a crazed state. I think the cops were in more danger than he was

This is a normal post I get ya
The taser is there to protect them more than him.

I took it more as a-
'since we can't really leave you out here, and we don't particularly want to die, at least you can rest assured that this is better than being killed or beaten' kind of safety.

also, if they had to pile in, and just wrestle the knifes off him, it's not unlikely that he could have been stabbed himself.
