Shocking video of man being tasered in Brighton

Police have launched an investigation into the dramatic scenes of a man being tasered and kicked on Brighton seafront after The Brighton Argus passed the footage to Sussex Police. In the video, the man, who was later arrested for shoplifting, appears to be kicked forcefully in the leg after receiving a discharge of 50,000 volts from the Taser. Incapacitated by the stun gun, he then falls flat on his face without being able to protect himself. The officer is then heard shouting "put your hands up", despite the man being unable to move.
