Tasering someone while they’re on top of a fence, especially someone who’s not shown any violent intent whatsoever, isn’t a crime? I guess the police can just do whatever the fuck they want now. No time to arrest rapists but they’ve got time to brutalise people and arrest peaceful protestors too. What positives do they actually bring to our society?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Look at the absolute fucking state of all the cop apologists in this thread.
Is there any kind of training about when you can and can’t tase? Because this is one of those situations when it is obviously extremely dangerous.
Like that guy who was trying to commit suicide, I mean fucking hell.
I know they aren’t hired for their compassion or intelligence but surely there are some pissing guidelines for using these things.
*Yeah serious question because, some are downvoting or whatever but, I suggest that if you tased someone who was 50ft up a ladder, for example, well that’s murder isn’t it.
Is there any body cam of this? I find it pretty hard to draw my own conclusions without seeing it myself
“I thought he might have been carrying a nuclear warhead in his pocket and so used my professional judgement and decades of experience to determine that the individual who was running in the opposite direction posed a major threat, and whilst I’d have preferred to be holding a Glock, I zapped him from behind to not only disable him, but *actually* disable him. LOL”
“Psst. Even if I’d made him kneel down with his hands & legs tied and then shot him in the back of the head, I’d be found not guilty. I’m a copper, remember? LOL!”
Be interesting to see the full facts that clearly aren’t in the article and would have been presented to the jury before jumping to conclusions.
Definitely shouldn’t have fired it when he was on top of a wall, but if you’re willing to run from police then you take the risk. Why the fuck did he run when he had nothing on him?
*I feel like he won before he got here, it’s rigged, I was fighting against something that is bigger than everything. But I’m over it, it’s done. Win or lose, it’s a losing battle.*
Clearly wasn’t just a sweet young man going for a stroll on a warm summer’s day if his first instinct was to run upon seeing the police. If he hadn’t have tried leaping over fences for no reason he wouldn’t be in the chair. I don’t suck police dick by any means but do you want them to deal with criminals or just tickle their balls with feathers.
Just read the article and did they seriously argue that he had a bag on him so therefore it could have contained a knife? That can’t be real surely…
Yeah, good.
It was the idiots fault running away from the police.
Unfortunate he is now paralysed but it is his decision making that made that happen.
GOOD! Anyone who kills or injures themselves trying to avoid arrest only has themselves to blame.
I need to save this discussion for the next time someone claims this sub is a “far-left echo chamber”.
