Police Taser, Punch Man in U.K. – Excessive force?
The video shows police tasering the man to keep him from getting up. It’s quite graphic and you can see the mans body is jolted by the taser shock. While he’s on the ground they punch him several times as well. Then other officers swoop in and hold the man down.
The scene was so over the top that bystanders nearby started shouting at police after seeing the excessive force they belived was being inflicted to the arrested man. The person behind the camera can be heard saying “Look at his face, did you get that? He don’t look like he is resisting.”
