I was ready to give a totally different answer until I saw that video and it made me feel sick. The guy was not being aggressive when he was tazered in the stomach while stood up. I just got the feeling the tazer maybe went off by mistake as the officer gave no warning and I'm sure they have to warn before firing. That poor little child, it was really hard to watch him crying out daddy daddy. Aweful.
Danny,
Were you in the job when Tasers were first issued?
Do you have a better picture and Knowledge than the sketchy immage and details of what is heard and seen ?
Are you conversant with the criteria for using a Taser on a suspect and if so did they contravene that useage? I suggest IPCC will decide these issues. Not Answer Bank.

Perhaps Danny the GMP police officers still had,fresh in their minds the incident where two Met Officers pulled a man over for a routine traffic offence, The man used a machete to avoid arrest. Two officers and one almost killed until his oppo tasered the suspect. Perhaps the police get in first these days with excitable men of colour who do not comply with simple directions.
Thank goodness that in the state he was in he was stopped from driving off again, he could have killed the child and/or someone else.
//The vehicle was stopped and the driver, Desmond Ziggy Mombeyarara, 34, of Cornbrook Park Road, Old Trafford, was arrested and subsequently charged with two counts of resisting a constable in the execution of their duty, one count of driving at excess speed, one count of not having vehicle insurance, one count of being unfit to drive through drink, one count of failing without reasonable excuse to co-operate with a preliminary test, one count of failing to stop when required to do so, and one count of unnecessary travel. \\

As far as I can tell, no violence threatened, just a difference of opinion. I see no justification for using the taser, son present or not. Were the police too incompetent to deal with the situation properly ? Thank goodness this nation has the sense not to routinely arm all coppers then. We'd have authority caused deaths every day.
No Danny. Neither did the van driver appear to have a machete in a routine traffic stop either but he still had one. see link
We can find another routine traffic stop in the London area by two traffic officers. One officer, a WPC was seriously injured with a flying kick. Why should officers risk life threatening injuries for the sake of a stop for No insurance?? The Tasers are issued to protect the officers and rightly so.

The Days of Dixon are long gone,the gloves are off it appears and time to take back control of the streets.

It's easy to sit in a comfortable chair, see a few seconds of amateur footage and then criticise the officers for their actions. Yes it may have been different in the "old days". But in the old days, as retro has alluded to, police officers did not expect to be attacked with a machete following a routine traffic stop. But it happened a short while ago and one officer was lucky to escape with his life.
We don't know what led up to this incident, what had gone before or what was known about Mr Mombeyarara's proclivities. He certainly did seem to begin to kick off when close up to the officer and there is no reason either of the PC's should have to put up with aggressive behaviour from somebody they have legitimately stopped. The idea of a Taser is to protect officers from the risk of injury.
No doubt any enquiry will establish whether the officer's action was justified. Meanwhile an uninsured drunk driver who put his child's life at risk is temporarily out of circulation.
