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.
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?
Not even for breaking a window. For being in the area where there was a broken windows reported.
And when he ran, they shot him in the back.
Well, in all fairness, it's his fault for being black in the vicinity of a crime /s
Just saw this article yesterday, the US is doomed.
