Maine Today - The federal court of appeals in Boston has upheld a lower court ruling that South Portland, Maine police officer Kevin Gerrish used excessive force when he shot Stephen Parker with a Taser stun gun in 2005. ... In October of 2007, a jury found that Gerrish had used excessive force, and it awarded $111,000 to Parker for his injuries. [LINK]
Hmmm. Do you think that Officer Gerrish's (Taser-certified?) taser training was possibly substandard? Perhaps the mindless, mock-macho ride the lightning approach to training (always to the back by the way) is moronic and leads to such negative outcomes.
$111,000 award. Tasers save money do they?
