A man used his child as a human shield during an arrest on charges of domestic violence.
As if getting arrested for domestic violence charges was not enough - a father got tasered with the baby in his arms.
In a video recorded by a police officer's bodycam, a tense confrontation between the police and a domestic violence suspect in Tempe, Arizona, took an unexpected turn as the man picked up his one-year-old son and appeared to use him as a shield. With two taser darts on his upper body, Ivaughn Oakry still refused to put down his baby.
