There is an awful lot of rubbish spouted on here by people who are blinkered and just love to jump on the band wagon of sensationalised journalism.
Do you honestly think the crew want the police on the aircraft?
Do you honestly think the police want to use a taser?
Do you honestly think that they will come on board and simply taser the guy?
Previous posters on here seem to of conventionally forgotten about the build up to the incident.....
A police spokesman said the man, from Belfast, was arrested on suspicion of breach of the peace and obstructing/resisting a constable in the execution of their duty.
Following an examination by doctors, he was detained under the Mental Health Act for admission to a psychiatric unit for further assessment and treatment, Sussex Police added.
So how would you of reacted to defuse the situation? Bearing in mind of course that this guy quite obviously went off on one in a confined area, close to a large number of Adults, Children and Infants?
Give the crew and indeed the Police some credit that they all tried to reason with this guy but for reasons we dont know, there was to be no pacifying him and so for his safety, the safety of others he was Tasered.
He brought it on himself, he could of backed down at any moment, even on the last of 3 warnings that he was about to be tasered.
