Cops Tase Barely Conscious Boy With Broken Back 19 Times
For Non-Compliance
Police: Taser use is "not one of the unanswered questions"
surrounding the case

You couldn't make it up if you tried. Police in Ozark, Missouri
repeatedly tased a critically injured sixteen year old boy after
he "refused to comply with the officers".
The cops were called to investigate reports of a
boy walking along a busy overpass, but when they got there they
found young Mace Hutchinson had fallen 30 ft to the ground below,
breaking his back and and foot in the process.
When he did not co-operate with the cops they pulled
out their stun guns and fired them into his body, shocking him
up to nineteen times with 50,000 volts.
According to the boy's father, the actions of the
police caused an elevated white blood cell count leading Mace
to develop a fever that delayed vital surgery by two days.
Ozark Police Capt. Thomas Rousset tried to condone
the use of the taser in comments to the media:
"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."

The idea that a boy with a broken back would need
to be "subdued" by a team of cops is not patently ludicrous
but also smacks of a desperate attempt to cover up the true events
in this case.
This is a perfect example of how it has become the
norm for cops to react with extreme physical force towards anyone
who acts out of the ordinary in any way whatsoever.
We have previously carried reports of police tasing
an already
restrained disabled man, a 6-year-old boy who was
wielding
a piece of glass and a woman
having diabetic seizure to name but a few, but this
case trumps them all.
This behaviour is not limited to cops in the U.S.
either, last November a man who slipped
into a diabetic coma on the top deck of a bus in
Leeds, England described how he was used for electric stun gun
"target practice" after he "failed to respond to
instructions" and police "mistook him for a suicide
bomber".
Tasers are supposed to be the last response before
lethal action, yet police now use the taser as if it is a pair
of handcuffs or pepper spray. The latest figures show that over
300 people died in one year in admitted cases in the US alone
from being tased.
Prominent
heart doctors have declared that there is no doubt
that Tasers can cause heart problems and even induce sudden and
lethal cardiac arrest.
The UN's Committee Against Torture issued a statement
on the TaserX26, in November of last year which read:
"The use of TaserX26 weapons, provoking extreme pain, constituted
a form of torture, and that in certain cases it could also cause
death, as shown by several reliable studies and by certain cases
that had happened after practical use."
Despite these facts, we see stories
every week of old women, children and disabled people being shot
with tasers. The weapons are even being used in schools.
The police are now trained that "pain compliance,"
a euphemism for torture, is acceptable in apprehending anyone
even if that person poses no physical danger.
The heart of the issue is that this was another
act of wanton police brutality and torture by means of tasing.
