Question

During an urban peaceful protest Jack is tased by a police officer. The jolt sends his limbs flying and he kicks the officer in the shin. Will he likely be charged with assaulting an officer based on the kick?

Answer 1

No, because it was a product of involuntary movement

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that in this situation he will likely NOT be charged with assaulting an officer, because it was a product of involuntary movement. A taser sends about 50,000 volts of electricity passing through the individual's body for about 5 seconds (per cycle) and these current can cause full loss of motor control, and even muscle spasms.
