"They tortured him"; police used Taser on special needs teen for breaking window before shooting him - eviltoast
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.

    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.

    We now consider the matter closed.

    Huge /s just in case.
