You know, the Second Amendment also covers swords... so merely having one was no reason for them to taze him.

Yes...I thought it was good that the reporter/editor made it clear why the police were there and that they tased after he swung the sword at them.

How about swinging it at a police officer? Think that might change the situation just a leetle bit? Read the article.

True but attempting to kill the officers with it certainly did. I assume the only reason they did not just shoot him was because he was a mental case and not a normal criminal.
