FBI Opens Investigation Into Tasering Incident That Left 17-year-old In Critical Condition

Cops only believe in Murphy's law, not common sense.

 

the earrings don't help. wanna act like a punk? expect to get treated like one.

 

cleverly disguised gay bashing

 

Really? What an awful post.

 

What happens if the kid doesn't get hurt? Nothing. Someones word vs someones word. That's the scary part.

 

So sad. Get losers that couldn't cut it past HS and this is what you get.

 

You sound like one of my uncles growing up. You must rock dad jeans with the best of them.

 

What the ****?

 

Sad that this happened, but maybe this will make people realize police brutality can happen to anyone. Can't let the bad police officers hide behind the shield anymore.

 

Want to act like an insensitive prick? Expect to be treated like one.

 

Sad story.

Random PSA: please don't quote dumbass trolls. They are likely on most people's ignore list and when you quote the dumbass trolls their dumbass trolling is shown to all.

 

I hope the kid recovers.

I can't really tell what happened as this article is so obviously biased.

 

guns, tasers, batons, legs, fists, etc... doesn't matter. put any weapon in an incompetent assholes hands and that's what you get.

 

This does not bode well for the image of cops. When I was growing, cops were consider friendly, helpful and almost a hero figure.

Today, the image is completely different. They're viewed as overly paranoid jocks that just provide a necessarily service. But that service is often weighed against a sense of entitled authoritarianism.

Of course, not all cops are like that, but enough still holds the idea that they're the fine line between order and chaos... which may be true, but it would serve them better if many of them didn't act that way.

 

Let's riot.

 

I'm not Caucasian but I would join in.

 

Post of the year.

 

I don't believe things have necessarily changed as far as how many cops go overboard with authority. I think technology has just made it so we see EVERY instance of this happening now, because it gets posted on YouTube.

How many of these type of situations happened back in the 80s and 90s that never hit national news because no one was able to capture it on video? At that point it is just the cops word against the kids and that almost never works out for the kid. So it doesn't become news.

There were always ******* cops out there. Now it is much more likely they will be held accountable.
