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.

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.
