One particular case is in the spotlight, that of Steven Butler who on October 7, 2006 was Tasered three times by a cop in his home town of Watsonville, California. Steven suffered cardiac arrest and his brain was starved of oxygen. He is now permanently disabled.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has announced it is to launch a formal investigation into the arrest of a Nottingham man who was shot with a Taser stun gun three time and punched in the head by out-of-control cops.
