A man is threatening to sue police after an officer accidentally discharged a 50,000 volt TASER — into his GROIN.


Quote from the article:

Peter Cox, 49, was on his way to do some landscaping work at the home of a friend when he noticed a police patrol car was following him. He pulled over outside friend Donna Allen’s house in Bridgwater, Somerset, but after a short conversation with police officers collapsed to the ground after being shot in the groin. Police today confirmed the Taser weapon was accidentally discharged and an investigation was underway. Eyewitnesses say the male officer pointed the taser gun at Peter Cox ”for more than 20 seconds” before lowering the weapon. But the weapon discharged ”accidentally” and Peter dropped to the ground in agony after one electric probe missed his manhood by three inches. Unemployed Peter said: ”I got out of the car and asked the police what they wanted. I then asked them to park on the other side of the road because we were working on the front garden. ”The officer didn’t say anything, but he got out of the car and pulled out a taser and pointed it at me. ”I didn’t know this at the time so I just went on with what I was doing and got a bag of stone for the garden out of the boot. Then he shot me.
