Australian police accused of T

Police in Australia are investigating their own members after a Taser stun gun was used on a man in Queensland.

Police are trying to determine whey the Taser was used more than 20 times during a single arrest.

Civil liberties groups have demanded a thorough investigation after it emerged the Queensland man who died during an arrest last week may have been Tasered by police on multiple occasions.

Queensland Police initially said the Taser was used up to three times when officers tried to arrest Antonio Galeano during a struggle last Friday.

The 39-year-old collapsed and died a short time after being stunned by the 50,000 volt gun.

Data collected from the weapon revealed it had been fired 28 times. The data does not reveal the target.

On Monday, Queensland police officials suspended any further issue of the Tasers and ordered the Crime and Misconduct Commission to review the use of the gun.
