they found the use of tasers was justified. however, how they reviewed the cases that's where there are some questions. now, according to the "mercury news," they say this most recent audit completed last month only contained four incidents, two of them being taser-related, a very low number of incidents for an audit. the "mercury news" says in one case, an officer was arresting a man on probable drug-related charges. the man resisted, kicked the supervisor in the head, that supervisor then tased the man. again auditors saying this is a justified use of the taser. but they say when reviewing the incidents, investigators later interviewed the man right in front of that injured officer. they also asked him leading questions. and they had two witnesses, they asked witnesses questions together instead of apart individually. so once auditors completed this they said there is room for improvement when reviewing these taser-related cases. back to you guys. >> sandra, you said there was and another taser incident that they looked into.
