"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.

But before being shot, the teen had been repeatedly tasered. The intense pain caused the teen to run.
