His death, although not caused by the taser, should call into question the use of tasers in routine policing, and lead to a review into the training given to officers to prevent such an incident from happening again.”

Two police officers have gone on trial after they used pepper spray and a Taser on a 92-year-old care home resident who had one leg.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Warning - this report contains distressing images.

Two police officers have gone on trial after they used pepper spray and a Taser on a 92-year-old care home resident who had one leg.

The officers were responding to a call from the care home in St-Leonards on Sea in East Sussex, after Donald Burgess threatened staff with a knife.

Prosecutors claim the officers used "unjustified and unlawful" force against the pensioner.

The use of Tasers in prisons will be trialled, the Justice Secretary has said, after an incident at HMP Frankland saw guards attacked with hot oil and home-made weapons

Ministry of Justice sources stressed that no decision would be taken until intensive trials have been undertaken involving members of the National Tactical Response Group (NTRG). The trials are not taking place in prisons and do not involve live targets.

Tasers in prisons.

The move could lead to squads of specialist prison officers being issued with the 50,000-volt stun guns when they are sent in to jails to quell riots. It follows concerns being expressed over the levels of violence in prisons.

At the #Taser SME course police officers are provided at the expense of the public a bespoke cross-examination training course to refine and enhance their performance in the witness box.

[Less lethal weapons and counter drones @Lesslethalweaps]

Final day of the #Taser SME course, at @PFEW_HQ-barrister cross examination. Counsel introduces input and asks “any questions before we start?” Student replies “Be nice!?” Counsel replies “I can’t guarantee that!” It’s going to be an interesting morning!
