Well, the Mattos case was dismissed without ever deciding if the officers were justified. Unless you think it's physically impossible for an officer to tase someone inappropriately (keeping in mind that tasers can kill people), you can see why this is a problem. The courts will not even entertain the possibility that an officer has done something wrong. > My point is that this seems like a case where the cops should have been (and maybe were) disciplined within the employment context, i.e. more training, suspension, etc. They weren't. What incentive would the department have to discipline them? I'm interested in your thoughts on Jessop v. City of Fresno.
