Police in Australia are to review how they use Taser guns after the death of a man in Queensland who was stunned possibly as much as 28 times by one of the powerful electronic weapons.

Antonio Galeano, 39, an amphetamines addict, collapsed and died 15 minutes after being stunned by a 50,000-volt Taser gun during a confrontation with police in Brandon, near Townsville in far north Queensland last Friday.

Police said initially that he had been shot three times, but data recorded on the Taser gun has shown that it was triggered 28 times. It is unknown if Mr Galeano was hit by all of the electric shock bursts.

Mr Galeano had gone on a naked rampage just days after being released from a psychiatric hospital. According to police, he was threatening to harm himself and officers so they tried to use capsicum spray on him.

When that had no apparent effect they Tasered the man, who collapsed and died while still in handcuffs.

Ian Stewart , the Queensland Police deputy commissioner, said that police were investigating whether the gun used in Friday’s incident was faulty.

He said that police had no guidelines on how many times a Taser could be fired in one incident, and a joint Crime and Misconduct Commission and police ethical standards command investigation will look into whether there needed to be a cap on numbers of firings.

"The review has three main elements: we are going to look at our policies in the use of the Tasers; we are going to look at the training we provide our officers' and we are looking at the monitoring of the use of Tasers by the police service,” Mr Stewart said.

Assistant Commissioner Peter Martin, from the Ethical Standards Command, said police were talking to Taser International, the USA-based manufacturer. The ethics investigation was also looking at how many Tasers were at the incident involving Mr Galeano and which were activated.

Tasers use a powerful electric current to incapacitate people, with the charge temporarily disrupting muscle control. Critics say that the weapon can cause injury, including severe heart attack in some people, possibly leading to death. Tasers have been blamed for hundreds of deaths in more than a million official incidents worldwide.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission in Britain has begun an inquiry into an incident in the early hours of Monday when police were captured on camera using a Taser gun repeatedly to stun a man in Nottingham.

The Australian incident has flamed debate about the use of Tasers. "It explodes the myth that the Queensland Police Service has put out there for the last couple of years that Tasers are harmless," Terry O'Gorman, from the Australian Council for Civil Liberties, told a local radio station.

COPS IN NUDE TASER SLAY
BROOKLYN DEATH PLUNGE AFTER 2ND-STORY JOLT


Police fired a Taser at a naked Brooklyn man armed with only a fluorescent light tube yesterday, sending him falling to his death from a second-floor ledge after he went on a 40-minute rant.

Iman Morales' mom begged cops not to hurt her son, telling them he's sick - then watched in horror as he plunged from the top of the roll-down gate on which he'd been perched.

An Emergency Services officer, acting on the orders of his boss, fired at the 35-year-old man at around 2 p.m., as he waved the 8-foot fluorescent light tube, police sources said.

"His body froze up and he fell face-first," said Sean Johnson, who witnessed the drama at 489 Tompkins Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Morales, who crashed 10 feet to the pavement, died a few hours later at Kings County Hospital.

Asked if police followed the proper protocol for using a Taser, NYPD spokesman Paul Browne said, "That's being reviewed."

Amid his mostly unintelligible rant, Morales was heard yelling, "You're going to kill me. I'm going to take everyone with me."

He also screamed, "I'm going to die. You're all going to die with me."

Morales first emerged hanging out a third-floor window after a blowup with his mother at around 1 p.m., witnesses said.

Twenty minutes later, he climbed the fire escape to the fourth floor, where he tried to force his way into a neighbor's apartment.

"He tried to come into my window and I ran out," said 40-year-old Tonya Wright.

"He said, 'Let me in.' I told him, 'I'm not letting you in.' "

Morales then headed to the second floor and screamed to the crowd, which included his frantic mom.

"She was saying, 'No! No! Don't hurt him. He is sick,' " Wright said.

With police shouting for him to get down, Morales made his way to a ledge above a the gate.

"Walk down now! Move down!" the police can be heard shouting to him on video.

He then picked up the light tube and waved it in the air before jabbing cops who had climbed out of the windows above.

"When he was poking the cop, people were laughing," Johnson said.

He refused orders from the officers and continued his incoherent tirade.

Finally, one of the ESU cops on the street shot him with the Taser.

"He just fell face first," said witness Sean Brown. "People were screaming and yelling. It was wrong."

It was unclear what set off the episode, but, said Johnson, "once he started hitting the cop with that pole, that's when it turned serious."

Morales had one prior arrest, for a Manhattan petit larceny.

"This is very out of character," said the building's superintendent, Charlene Gayle, 31.

"Nice guy, clean cut, well kept, never irrational. Didn't have irrational behavior."

NY officer kills self after fatal stun gun case

NEW YORK (AP) — A police lieutenant committed suicide Thursday, days after he ordered another officer to fire a stun gun at a naked, distraught man who then fell to his death, police said.

The body of Lt. Michael Pigott, a 21-year police veteran, was found in a police locker room at a former airfield in Brooklyn, dead apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, said Paul Browne, deputy commissioner for public information. He used a weapon that was not his, police said.

Seems a little bit much doesn't it. 6 on one and a tazing when he's already on the ground.

Will GBs resident cops be out defending this one ?

Let's face it -Tazing is a punishment for pissing cops off.

Let's face it -Tazing is a punishment for pissing cops off inbred white cops with excruciatingly limited intelligence and severe psych/social issues and resentments who delight in torture and abuse of so called power.

These are PUBLIC employees who swore the oath to "SERVE AND PROTECT".

I'd drop them all in the middle of taliban-run Pakistan.

Taser vids are great!

They're the beheading videos of the late noughties.
