I pulled over near a cop car to ask for directions once when I was near a detour closure and newly moved to a small exurb 20 miles out from Baltimore (before I had any GPS). I am a white female. My child and I were coming from church and dressed accordingly. White female cop would not listen at all—just barked at me, demanded my license and registration, took 15 minutes in 90-degree weather to run my ultra-clean record and then handed me a ticket.
I had to take half a day off from work to go before a judge and describe the incident; he dismissed the ticket without hesitation. That was 20 years ago. Guess I should be glad she didn’t tase me and rough up my kid.
This is what happens when you lower the qualifications for being a cop.
“There is something seriously wrong with these police officers.”
There is something seriously wrong with that kid.
These cases are so common now
Just saw where a 62 year old church deacon was tased and beaten for refusing ti sign a citation in an accident where they rules him at fault.

“Officer Hansen’s bodycam footage shows the teenager continuing to be stunned with successive bursts of electricity as he howls in agony.”
The Taser is being properly discharged (mechanicall). Most officers release the trigger after the Taser “goes off”. (When it should remain pressed—until the second round is necessary).
That said, Monroe County has a small, but poorly distributed police force. They are responsible for 130 miles of skinny highway leading to Miami. (Miami doesn’t send their best to Monroe County on weekends).
He is going for a civil reward when there should be criminal charges filed against those officers.
“He also begs friend and fellow crash victim John Tyler Sanders, who appears largely uninjured, for help.”
Perhaps we’re not getting the full story here: too bad, as I applauded The Daily Mail reporters at Quora.
Most of the drive to Miami is speed-limited to 45-50 MPH. Wear your seatbelts!
There is a YouTube channel called the “ The Civil Rights Lawyer” that I had to quit watching since it made my already dislike of cops worse. Police seem to want the lawful citizens disliking them.
I must have watched a different video and the description/story was written with their bias against police on full display
In the video I watched, the cops did nothing wrong.
The kid was out of control/out of his mind. He was fighting/assaulting the cops who were trying to help him.
They tazed him after he fought off several officers.
It took like several officers to hold down/restrain ONE scrawny kid!
The kid was clearly OUT OF HIS MIND AND INJURED FROM THE CAR ACCIDENT! NOT as a result of being tazed or controlled by police officers.
You people should watch the “full video” The next immediately following video is someone else SIX YEARS EARLIER! (Both named Jordan but different last names.)
This article is a “HIT PIECE” on cops. I can’t believe all of you fell for this.
I thought people here were more intelligent than that.
“His head smashes on the hard surface, rebounds and smacks down again as his body thrashes from the voltage.”
NOT what I saw in the video.
Common response to a Taser.
Head “SMASKES DOWN”, NO IT DIDN’T! More like a bump.
“his body thrashes from the voltage.”
Did this turd think he was writing a novel?
“leaving him flatlining in an ambulance and then fighting for life in a coma.”
NOT FROM being TAZED! From the horrific car crash he was just in.
OMG! I can’t believe you people being 180 degrees out of phase on this.
I hope the boy gets filthy rich then I hope he files a civil suit against this idiot cop. What is wrong with these people? They are the same homicidal maniacs they are paid to protect us from.
The few times that I’ve had an interaction with cops, over half of them were with a$$holes. They try to get you to give up your rights on searches.
