    When stuff like this happens, I always wonder what lead up to the situation that made the police think that tasering a person in a high risk situation is an appropriate use of force.

    The title if the article talks about an ambulance but I don’t really see it mentioned in the article.

    Also, another question, the guy who’s car hit the kid when the police deployed their taser in a reckless manner, does they count as a victim as well, I mean you’d expect that killing a kid with you car will give you some PTSD in any normal person, not to mention having to get your car repaired is not cheap, and since the accident was in general caused by the police acting recklessly, one would argue that the police should pay.

    On the other hand, if the kid was fleeing the police it could be argued that if he hadn’t, the tasering would not have happened, so is the kid’s family responsible?

    I am just interested in the logistics…

    What happens to the people involved?
