Injured Boy Tasered 19 Times

A 16 year old boy who apparently broke his back and heel in a 30 foot fall was Tasered 19 times by police. His family wonders how the boy was an immediate threat to the officers.

"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."
