At one point, the former St Helens, Widnes and Wakefield hooker grabbed the Taser's wires after being stunned and removed them from his body.
He then grabbed the Taser in a "tug of war" with the officer, shouting: "You're getting it now!" while pointing it at the officer's face, police said."

Not much sympathy for him from me but have to give him some kudos he is one tough hombre !

Do you reckon that the policeman with the taser shouted 5th and last before he shot the sixth?

On a serious note, that sentence seems extremely light for the number of offences that will have committed.

Judging by the video footage, the coppers were not 10 yards away. Moore should and did get a penalty

Give over, he said nothing of the sort, simply comparing how police in the US often utilise firearms to bring down a violent offender. And he's correct.

T'internet, full of folk desperate for a sniff of outrage.

excuse my ignorance but had he retired from rugby before this incident, i know he was only 30 or so but hadn't heard of him for a while

Was a regular for Bradford Bulls last season, but was released in November. Obviously due to the fact that he would be sent to prison.

No, he's not saying that, and you know he isn't.

What he's saying is that in America he wouldn't have had 6 chances of being tasered. He'd have been shot as soon as the police realised he was an animal and was going to be extremely challenging to arrest.
