Tazer and pepper spray the suspect's whole family.

A constable in Aukland, NZ responded to a domestic dispute. Rather than subduing the suspect, he used his tazer first on the suspect's 16 year old son, then on himself, then peppersprayed the suspect's daughter. Finally, perhaps to spare his family and the constable further suffering, the suspect gave himself up.

How does someone that clumsy and with such poor aim even get on a police force?

Shocking. :p

Wow... what a lousy aim...

And leave it to DCD to dig up the weird news!

But an official police update of the Taser trial, published on October 17, makes no mention of the constable firing five times, or missing his target, zapping himself or hitting the boy. It simply says a man was contained after the Taser was fired.
At least the police report was accurate. Who cares about details?

"The constable, who had had Taser training, was not injured."

I wonder what kind of taser training they give police in New Zealand.... Evidently it's not in how to use them. :P

Obviously you've never been to NZ and met any of the police there.

This has a thread already btw:
