"They tortured him"; police used Taser on special needs teen for breaking window before shooting him
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.
a police disciplinary investigation into the incident didn't even begin until last month - a year and a half after the teen was tasered and shot.
And this is why ACAB. If it takes the cops that long to even start looking into a problem, then they don’t see it as a problem.
Civil servants are what they used to be.
Nah, it's just what they used to be called.
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.
This just in: Cops turn out to be violent thugs attracted to a job where they face no consequences for being violent thugs.
And now to Skip Johnson with sports
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.
It should be federal law that any police officer who can't tell the difference between a taser and a gun should be fired and never again able to be a cop. That's absolutely horseshit that we TRAIN these people and they can't fucking tell the difference.
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.
We now consider the matter closed.
Huge /s just in case.
ACAB
Jesus what an awkwardly worded headline. Who's being hired as journalists these days?
How about
"They tortured him"; police Tased, then shot a special needs teen who broke a window
Child tortured prior to being executed extrajudicially by police.
No one. It’s all fucking AI. It’s disgusting
AI would have done much better.
Proper grammatical structure is its bread and butter
Are you sure? I asked chatGPT to come up with some headlines and they're all fine.
- "CBS Investigates Disturbing Trend: Police Shooting of 14-Year-Old Follows Taser Incident"
- "Exclusive: CBS 2 Uncovers Troubling Pattern in Police Taser Use on Teens"
- "Chicago Police Shooting Reveals Alarming Taser Use on Youth: CBS Investigation"
- "Disturbing CBS Report: 14-Year-Old Shot by Police After Taser Incident"
- "CBS Investigation Exposes Police Taser Use on Teens: Shooting of 14-Year-Old Sparks Outrage"
Who’s being hired as journalists these days?
AI
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.
There needs to be a special needs awareness campaign in the US.
Too many times I've come across people in my adult life who should know better how to address people with special needs and they just don't understand it.
I agree with you 100%
Do you really thing people are “unaware” or simply don’t give a fuck? Because if someone is not aware the world is FULL of people with “special needs”(such a patronizing euphemism.) then their problem is they are a fucking idiot who should not be anywhere near a gun. Fuck pigs soooooo much.
Sure, that would be a nice thing to have. But let's not even imply that this isn't 100% on the cops. Anyone would have run away if they got tased and were still conscious/mobile. It's human instinct.
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'm good at solitary, so I wouldn't go insane, I'd become extremely lonely and suffer from prolonged depression, but carry on none the less.
Yeah, lock up those officers to make an example of them. This is unconscionable.

WHY SHOOT SOMEONE AFTER YOU TAZED THEM‽ That shit just immediately stops them doesn't it‽
Read the article. He ran away after being tased, which, according to murderous thugs warrants lethal force .
The way cops run when there's an actual threat we should be shooting these shit cops as well, fucking cowards.
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.
