A lawsuit has been launched against the sheriff’s office in Marin County, Calif., over an episode in which deputies barged uninvited into a 64-year-old man’s home and shot him three times with a Taser, screaming “stop resisting” at him while the incapacitated victim writhed in pain on the floor.

The sheriff’s version of the episode was that watching “selected” video segments of the events may mislead people.

The situation was reported by KGO Television in San Francisco, which posted a video of the episode:


The situation developed late in June when Peter McFarland, a consultant, returned home one night from a charity fundraiser and fell on his front steps, injuring his knee. Paramedics were called and treated his injury.
