According to reports, 42 year old Talal Siad was stunned by a taser five times by Israeli police in front of his five children, in Tel Aviv, Israel.
Huffington Post reports:
Siad, who had gone to the water park with his family to celebrate the Muslim holy day Eid ul-Fitr, claims that he suffered from burns and nausea as a result of the incident. “They cuffed me and continued shooting even though I was not a threat,” Siad told Ynet.com. “My son was terrified. I heard him say, ‘My father has been murdered.’

The incident was captured by many cameras and reportedly led to a brawl that broke out between a number of park patrons.Video shot by several witnesses show Siad rolling on the grass as officers shock him many times — even after he was restrained by handcuffs.
The website continues:
Siad was not initially involved in the confrontation, Russian news agency RT writes. The man says he stepped in to intervene when he felt that police were using unnecessary force against one of the young men involved.
“I told the policeman, ‘What are you doing? You’re killing those kids,’ and he told me to leave. I said, ‘You’re being unreasonable, you go away,” Siad explained.
The Tel Aviv police have been under scrutiny since footage has been publicly released but they claim videos have been edited to not give the full scope of the situation.
