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.

They traumatized a child for what? Those fucking pigs applied pain compliance techniques on a child. Then they shot him. The pig that shot him said that he thought he was using the taser. They thought that using a taser on a child was acceptable.

I cannot say on here what I think should happen. I do like the smell of bacon sizzling in the pan though.

It should be federal law that any police officer who can't tell the difference between a taser and a gun should be fired and never again able to be a cop. That's absolutely horseshit that we TRAIN these people and they can't fucking tell the difference.

They are supposed to be on opposite hips also, so that excuse IMO is bunk anyway

2 guesses which one they carry on their dominant side.

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?
