There was that kid who broke his back while being tasered as he ran away from a drugs stop.
Interesting article: https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2020/07/investigation-into-misuse-of-taser-guns-by-uk-police-forces/
The ability of UK cops to use weapons appropriately is dubious too. When tasers were brought in they were for protecting life as a less lethal alternative to guns. Now they have been fairly widely deployed they get fired into the back of people running away who are suspected of carrying small amounts of drugs.
