Tasers, again.
It seems that every time you look at or hear or read the news some cop somewhere is using a Taser instead of doing his job. The latest comes from England.
A police officer used a 50,000-volt Taser gun on a man suffering an epileptic fit, it has been revealed.Two weeks in the hospital, that should teach not to have a seizure.
A major investigation is under way after the 40-year-old complained that he had been the victim of excessive force.
He had collapsed as he suffered a seizure at a gym and paramedics had been called to deal with the incident.
But they asked for police back-up after the man allegedly started biting and punching them.
When police arrived at the gym - which is in a secondary school in south Manchester - one officer discharged a Taser at least once into the man.
The man, who was physically restrained by officers, was transferred to hospital an hour after he first collapsed.
His condition was so bad he had to stay there for two weeks before being discharged.
