It seems that there are more lawsuits against police officers who abuse senior citizens with tasers and police dogs.
Marin County paid $1.9 million to Peter McFarland, to settle a lawsuit filed by a man who accused sheriff's deputies of shocking him with a taser, after he refused to go to the hospital after he fell. "Federal law surrounding the use of Tasers is more restrictive today than it was in 2009, when deputies used a Taser to help take Peter McFarland in custody," Faulkner said.
