Description
Leonard Sandiford, a 61-year-old man, was paralyzed after a police Taser caused him to fall from a shed in London, resulting in tetraplegia. The incident occurred when Sandiford was fleeing from officers who were responding to a burglary report. The police officers, including Constable Liam Newman, used a Taser multiple times during the chase, despite Sandiford raising his hands and posing no immediate threat. The trial is ongoing, raising questions about when police should use force.
