The met have been reported as saying “This is the one thing that we didn’t want to happen”.
Imagine being talked down from comiting suicide only to be killed by accident within minutes
He was being investigated for not paying *income tax and VAT*🎶….
“Stop trying to kill yourself or we’ll kill you”
Why the fuck are they tasering someone on a balcony?
Why the fuck would you taser someone who’s trying to kill themselves. Do the police understand any language other than violence? Seriously. Fucking cunts.

Must be rules regarding taking people in high places
Very little information here.
A CED being successfully deployed would lead to NMI, leading to an increased chance of a fall.
A CED wouldn’t be used on someone threatening to jump from height. It would be considered IF the person was threatening to self-harm or threatening violence towards others.
Without all the information, it would appear that the deployment WASN’T successful and the person jumped from the balcony AFTER it was deployed.
(Re Chelsea Bridge).
Taser isn’t 100% effective. There are many variables that can lead to it not working.
In the UK, just drawing a Taser is considered “USE OF”.
Only once all the information is available can we really judge the action taken.
I remember how the story of the bloke on Putney Bridge was reported.
I’m guessing there is more to this story than the headline makes out…..
Reads as though they tried to persuade him away from the edge until he went to jump, tried to taser him, taser was ineffective and he made it over the edge…..
“Can you get that man off that balcony?” “No problem Ma’am..”. I never knew that Tackleberry worked for the Met.
Assuming this is rishis new program to reduce mental health issues in the country?
“While the IOPC’s statement appears to suggest that the man fell after being Tasered, the Met’s statement does not indicate the relative timing of the two actions or whether the man was actually hit by the Taser, stating only that it was “discharged by an officer on the balcony”.”

*Officers were called to a residential property in Peckham after a man threatened to jump from a balcony just before 1.30am on Wednesday, April 12.*
*During the course of more than an hour, officers attempted to persuade the man to come inside from the balcony.*
*The man was then tasered by an officer on the balcony and he fell several floors to the ground, the IOPC said in a statement.*
Don’t jump!
Leap, with the added power of taser induced muscular spasms!
Police should not attend scenes with people having mental health issues. Police officers turning up in full uniform would not make me feel better
