SINGAPORE, June 20 — A 31-year-old man was tasered and then arrested by the police on June 13 after he allegedly assaulted an on-duty auxiliary police officer with a metal bar.In a video clip of the incident posted online, the man could be seen shouting at two police officers while apparently pointing a metal bar in their direction.
The taser is a conducted electrical weapon, or a stun device, that uses propelled wires or direct contact to conduct energy to affect sensory and motor functions of a person’s nervous system. The taser’s common X26 model administers a shock of about 1.9 milliamperes, which is “well below” the 10 milliamps needed to cause a severe electric shock.
These include “the proportionality of the force to be applied vis-a-vis the perceived threat posed by a subject, in addition to the safety of members of the public and fellow officers, as well as the safety of the subject on which force is to be applied”. For the case of the 31-year-old suspect in the recent case, there had been various factors that led to the eventual use of the taser.
