    He told me he was giving me to the count of 10 to leave the area

    Moses was then Tasered… …while he was approximately 6ft (1.8m) in the air, causing him to fall to the ground.

    As a result, he fractured three vertebrae in his spine, and suffered other injuries to his chest, back, hands and right shoulder.

    Nottinghamshire Police stated McClintock "concluded it was necessary to discharge his Taser in order to prevent the claimant’s escape and safely detain him".

    So first they wanted him to leave, then when he chose to leave (due to their physical threat), they decided to prevent him from leaving. And then to safely detain him they tasered him while at the top of a fence.
