Tony Blais, The Edmonton Sun
During the arrest Hector Patricio Jara, 22, was kicked in the head, hit twice with a TASER and had several fingers broken.
Court of Queen's Bench Justice Sterling Sanderman said the kick might have been "a cheap shot," but ruled it wasn't excessive and said he had no issue with the broken fingers since Jara was resisting. However, regarding the use of the TASER, Sanderman said he found the constable had "personalized" the events and did not use his restraint.
