An expert's examination of decades of lawsuits involving Tasers found they were used on a disproportionate number of children of color and children with disabilities.
CHICAGO (CBS) -- It was a broken window complaint that led to a 14-year-old boy being shot by a police officer.
But before being shot, the teen had been repeatedly tasered. The intense pain caused the teen to run.
Dave Savini and the CBS 2 Investigators reveal a disturbing trend of who officers are more likely to use Tasers on.
Not at all. The current police model was created to capture run away slaves. They've always been a method of oppression, you just didn't hear about it as much before the internet.
They traumatized a child for what? Those fucking pigs applied pain compliance techniques on a child. Then they shot him. The pig that shot him said that he thought he was using the taser. They thought that using a taser on a child was acceptable.
I cannot say on here what I think should happen. I do like the smell of bacon sizzling in the pan though.
For breaking a window, not assaulting someone with a deadly weapon, a broken window. Why wasn't that a "where do you live? We need to speak with a parent or guardian" situation? Why are cops "arresting" a 14 yr old on hear say evidence from a lady that "has it on tape", but never produced it to officers before they starting trying to cuff him?
We have reviewed the footage and concluded we didn't do anything wrong. The officer is now on paid leave (nice vacation) and any damages caused will be paid for by the tax payers.
AI does a better job than this. You can literally copy and paste this article into Chat GPT and ask it to write a headline and everything it spits out is better than this.
This sort of thing terrifies me. I don't think my daughter, despite her various psychological issues, would ever get to a point that we would have to call the police, and she does have the privilege of being white, but it's at least within the realm of possibility.
I can't think of anything that scares me more than the possibility of outliving my daughter. This poor boy's parents....
There's one scenario I can think of that might be worse than outliving my own children. Outliving everyone. If I were to outlive any hypothetical children I might have, I'd be shattered, and probably depressed until I died. If I was a lone survivor of a nuclear or viral apocalypse, I'd probably go completely insane quite quickly. Permanent solitary confinement that has no hope of ending. Quite bleak.
I think we've seen cases where mortal fear and the associated adrenalin causes people to actually get up to save their own lives from this painful threat and try to flee to safety. There's no actual reasoning going on at that point, from what I hear. But the cops are in their own uncontrolled fight/flight mode, albeit the other side of the coin, and the target is still twitching/running and therefore not subdued. Bad cops escalate to another weapon.
