That was followed by a May incident in Idaho Springs, Colo., in which police used a Taser on Michael Clark, a 75-year-old man, without warning as he stood in his apartment. Clark suffered health problems, including a stroke and a burst appendix, and this week filed a lawsuit against the officer. The officer who used the Taser on Clark, Nicholas Hanning, has been fired and charged with assault.
