More sick police brutality, I wonder where the dash cam video is of this shit. This is not a new story. Actually, it happened a few weeks back but for some reason I am just hearing about it.

Seems a 16 year old boy fell off a bridge for reasons unknown. He fell 30 feet onto the freeway below and luckily lived. He did break his back as a few other things. Here is the controversy…

When the police arrived, they claimed he was not cooperating with their orders( as in stand up) and tasered the kid with the broken back who was bloodied and just fell off a 30 foot bridge 19 TIMES! YES, 19 times. They did not question whether he could stand up, but just kept zapping him for not doing so. I guess after 19 times and a few witness statements they may have realized… well, he just couldn’t stand up due to the whole broken back problem.

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t it customary to NOT MOVE anyone who may have a broken back or neck? Also, this kid is not a criminal, or a suspect to any crime, he is just laying under a bridge, bloody, for reasons unknown when the cops arrive.

19 TIMES!

Now, the excuse by the cops is this… he was being incoherent (wonder why? 30 feet of gravity maybe) and they were using the tasers to subdue him for “his own safety” so he would stay away from traffic.

Here is a brainstorm, do what the other cities do and divert the traffic away from him… hmmm.

The official explanation:

“He refused to comply with the officers and so the officers had to deploy their Tasers in order to subdue him. He is making incoherent statements; he’s also making statements such as, ‘Shoot cops, kill cops,’ things like that. So there was cause for concern to the officers,” said Ozark Police Capt. Thomas Rousset.

and if you believe that I have a bridge for sale in NYC. Broken back and the thing he is saying is “shoot cops”? Shoot them with what? he just fell 30 feet.

wait… one more..

“It’s a big concern for the officers to keep this guy out of traffic, to keep him from getting hurt,” said Rousset.

By all means, keep the kid safe!

Huh? My 10 year old would not feel threatened by a bloody kid with a broken back, he would do what comes naturally… say “don’t move” and I will call 911. May not be a fair comparison, my 10 year old has not lost all his brain cells to Dunkin Donuts  yet.

The parents are upset, as they should be. The damage from the 19 jolts of electricity delayed what should have been emergency surgery by 2 days. I would be pissed, but, they should count their blessings as well, had the nutty cops on a “I’ll show this punk” power trip, not had tasers, the kids brains would have been splattered all over the road by their guns and the story would have been changed to the kid attacked them with a sharp skull fragment and they had to shoot to kill.

Citizens of Ozark, your kids will be going back to school with no AC, sports equipment or new books because your tax dollars will go to pay this family in the coming law suit, and, the many years of paid leave these officers may get while its all going on.

I have 1 question… Why the hell do I never get a paid a 3 year vacation when I fuck up?
