The case of Donald Burgess, a 93-year-old disabled man who was pepper-sprayed and tasered by police in his own care home makes for shocking reading. It raises concerns about how the police deal with vulnerable individuals.
Mr. Burgess, who had one leg and suffered from dementia, was alone in his room when officers entered, responding to reports that he was holding a knife. Within just over a minute, he had been sprayed, struck with a baton, and tasered. He was hospitalised after the incident and died just three weeks later.
Situations like this raise serious questions about the appropriate use of force and the safeguards in place to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
