UK police misconduct: Tasering of 92-year-old amputee ruled excessive force

A UK misconduct hearing found two police constables used unnecessary force when they Tasered Donald Burgess, a 92-year-old amputee, at his care home. The ruling confirms the officers breached use-of-force standards, though the incident's broader implications for police accountability remain under review. This is a notable domestic justice development, not a market-moving event.
