Cop Tased Teen Into Brain Damage (VIDEO)

A police official in Missouri tased a 17 year old man for 23 seconds. The taser caused the teen to go into cardiac arrest and suffer brain damage. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

“Police dashcam video unsealed Monday by a federal judge in Missouri shows a deeply disturbing encounter between a former Missouri cop who, during a routine traffic stop, tasered, dragged and callously dropped a teenage driver face first onto the pavement. The officer’s actions during the arrest caused the teen to suffer brain damage.

Former Officer Timothy Runnels was sentenced last week to four years in prison over the September 2014 incident. The video above shows Runnels approaching a pulled-over vehicle being driven by Bryce Masters, then 17, who was on his way to play video games with a friend.

“I haven’t done anything, officer,” Masters says as Runnels attempts to forcibly remove the teen from his car. Masters is heard refusing multiple orders to exit his vehicle.”
