REVEALED: British police taser children

Liberal Democrats have forced the Home Office to admit that police 'shot' children with taser guns 28 times in a 20-month period.

At the same time, experts have questioned Home Office claims that tasers are “non-lethal”.

Police officers must be able to protect themselves, but these weapons have killed more than 300 people in the United States and should not be issued to untrained officers.

We need an in-depth inquiry into the use of Tasers before they become commonplace on British streets.We must not slide down a slippery slope towards fully-armed, US-style policing.
