I could wear very slippery shoes while holding the hose 
So what you're saying is if someone through their work accidently electrocutes a member of the public, then that member of the public should just, oh what's the phrase? "Man up" and ignore the unnecessary pain that was inflicted on them?

Of course it counts as an accident, think the classification is falling up/down stairs...

Accept the apology and move on. I don't think throwing money at them solves anything.

It helps show the victim that his pain was taken seriously.

Re: Fears over Taser gun expansion
It can't just be me that's noticed that this story is fundamentally about accidental discharge and Cox...

Re: Fears over Taser gun expansion
Perhaps the Police need more (dummy) target practice...

Police, who described the man as overweight, shot him twice with Tasers and used tear gas and a baton to subdue him
|
Overweight, exerting himself after attacking Police with a hammer, compromised breathing after being tear gassed and then tasered twice.
Take your pick of contributing factors to his death there. Plenty to choose from.

Possibly one of the best arguments there is for all frontline officers to have immediate access to Tasers. In this case CS done nothing except take out some cops, baton strikes meant getting within machete range and an ARV looked like it was still some time off.
If he wasn't content to be contained in one area but had gone on the rampage the results could have been horrific.

I saw this earlier, is there a reason no officers had Tasers? Lack of firearm training maybe or something?

Re: Fears over Taser gun expansion
Was this because of the bedroom tax?
