However, for some reason, the youngster ran away from the scene.
The police chased the teenager into an abandoned house. One of the police officers enters the vacant house ... pulls out his taser ... and shoots 50,000 volts of electricity into the young boy.
"He was Tasered once by one of our officers," Deputy Commissioner Gere Green said. "After that, he became unresponsive."
{No shyt Sherlock}.
The teenager died at the hospital a few hours ago.
"It just turned bad, fast," Green said. "It's a sad situation."
Villagers, can you please explain to me why the police still feel that this policy of extra-judicial execution is the right thing to do. Since when does running away from the police earn a death penalty for any teenager in America? This wasn't a gang-banger and the car wasn't engaged in drugs or other violent activity.
The police feel so much in love with their tasers that some of them take them home.
What is the point of having a 'use of force continuum' if the police are going straight to the taser for runaway teenagers? Can someone 'splain it to me?
