Mace ended up in intensive care at a hospital. His parents believe the actions of Ozark police officers contributed to his injuries and slowed doctors’ abilities to speed his recovery.
“We called the police. My wife was afraid he was going to get ran over or hit,” said witness Doug Messersmith.
Messersmith and his wife were the last known people to see 16-year-old boy walking, shortly before their phone call to 911.
“He looked a little agitated but, other than that, he didn't look to be falling down drunk or anything like that,” he said.
By the time officers arrived, the teen was off the 30-foot overpass, lying on the shoulder below along U.S. 65, with no good explanation as to how he got there.
“According to the doctors, all injuries are consistent with a fall,” said his aunt, Samantha.
Mace's dad believes it was just that, a fall, not a jump. The question is why.
“They tested his system. He was clean of drugs and alcohol. We don't know why unless just being in shock and the whole thing in itself caused him to forget everything,” said Hutchinson.
His aunt says he is undergoing major surgery for a broken back and broken heel. While he was lying on the ground, she wonders why Ozark police used an electric stun gun on him up to 19 times.
“I'm not an officer, but i don't see the reason for ‘Tasering’ somebody laying there with a broken back. I don't consider that a threat,”
His dad says the use of the stun gun delayed what would have been immediate surgery by two days.
“The ‘Tasering’ increased his white blood cell count and caused him to have a temperature so they could not go into the operation.”
“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,” said Ozark Police Capt. Thomas Rousset.

Even though this happened last year, I hope people start realizing the reason why our youth and my generation (i'm 33 now) hate cops!!

Hating people based on what very few do is not smart.
It's prejudicial.

Did you hear what the police chief said? "“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,” said Ozark Police Capt. Thomas Rousset"
That's right, lets taser a 16yr old kid not once but 19 times to "subdue him"???? Am I missing something here or are the cops just being cowards here?

Fucking cops.
Are they not trained in how to physically subdue unarmed people anymore?-

I watched all 56 minutes and 53 seconds. If possible, it made me hate the cops even more. They are disgusting pieces of shit. My only hope is one day their rotting stinking corpses will line the streets full of bullet holes. I have no pity on them. When they are killed in action the only thought that comes to mind is....where are the buried, I need to take a piss.

It's going to be much easier to solve these police brutality outbreaks if we start holding commissioners and chiefs of police accountable. If they cant control the men they employ and supervise, then they shouldn't be in charge anymore. Remember, shit always rolls downhill.

I believe there are those that feel they are above the law...

My bet is that since then, these people have recovered some serious damages, or at least they would have if they didn't go with the more likely option and settle out of court.

so glad I live in the UK where the cops aren't on some macho-bullshit trip all the time and feel the need/desire to harm members of the public at every available opportunity.

They put a stop to the "dancing bear" where the bear was tortured into obeying by electric shock. How is this any different? The cops are just hateful murderers left over from the military, prolonging thier sado-masochistic rush they get from their crimes against humanity.

You know, my brother is a police officer and he would NEVER do something like this - he is responsible, respectful, and most of all understanding when it comes to serious situations. We've had many conversations about it before, and it just so happens that there are assholes who also wear the badge, and it is unfortunate.
That being said, I have had my fair share of run-ins with the police, and yes, each time I was frightened beyond belief that they were going to hurt me or do something terrible to me (as a young female). Why I felt that way, I'm not sure, but it definitely had something to do with the smug and aggressive attitudes they all had.
It's not fair of us to make such large blanket statements that ALL cops are assholes.

By the way folks, the kid that was tasered 19 times, eventually died and no cop was arrested or fired... think about that!
-
People get who are constantly in trouble justify it by stating other things. That's one way to look at it. Another way to look at it is that someone creates their own "problems" so that they can hold on to their prejudices and justify them at every corner.
No one is always in trouble unjustly. That's impossible.

So children if you want to join a Gang and don't want to go to jail Just become a police officer. There are so many good people out There that will never so much get a ticket and then there are those that can walk down the street and go to jail for jaywalking. I'am one of those that they just love to throw people in jail. I do beleave that The police today are nothing more than a bunch of Thugs waiting for Martial Law to kick in so they can advoid the laws they swore to uphold. The U.S. is a police state. Fight back buy a video camera and use it when ever the police are around. Whats good for the Goose is good for the Gander.

It's cool to not have respect.
Dude.

Cops need:
1. Manditory anger management
2. A leash
I feel that number 2 is the most imortant.-

seeing the kid getting shoot in his back as he was lying on the ground was probably the most shocking parts of this vedio & the girl on the ground laying in a pool of her own blood after being beaten half to death , if i had any respect for cops left, it is all gone , i hope their crimes fall back on them 10 fold

a majority of these videos do not provide enough information on the situation. there could have been words whispered that instigated stuff ya know.
