Finally

The police have finally charged one of their own for illegally using a taser. Which regardless of the eventual outcome ought to provide a powerful incentive for police officers to be cautious and obey the law when using these things, rather than simply threatening to electricly torture people to "induce compliance". And hopefully it also signals a shift by police to enforcing the law neutrally, rather than turning a blind eye to criminality among their own. At the same time, given that they've previously repeatedly ignored IPCA findings of outright criminal behaviour involving tasers, you really have to wonder how bad this case must be to have got their attention...
