Yeah nah, that sounds like a classic overreach. Arms out surrendering and you still get tasered? What a joke.
ran. End of story. Don't run and you won't get tasered. Simple.
Police taser a guy while he's surrendering, but they'll let the real criminals run wild. This country is a bloody circus.
Bit rich complaining when he ran first. If you run from cops you're asking for trouble.
are trained to de-escalate, not escalate. This is on them.
he had his arms out. That's textbook surrender. Cops need retraining.

ffs, tasered with arms out? That's just wrong. Hope he gets a payout, poor bugger
Can't believe this is still happening. We pay taxes for this? Disgraceful.
but running after surrendering? Bit of both sides here.
Actually read the article – he turned to run when tasered. Still, two broken ribs seems excessive for a surrender moment.
Six weeks off work with broken ribs from a taser? That's shocking. Hope his IPCA complaint goes somewhere.
he gets well soon. No one deserves that.
I'd love to see the bodycam footage. Bet it tells a different story from the police report.
bodycam will show if they're lying. #JusticeForCaleb
