Police Taser boy with broken back 19 times

[Bagor]

The part of the story that doesn't make sense to me is (from the link provided earlier on) why is someone with a supposedly broken back in a neck brace?



Where's the back brace?

Where's the back brace?

I am no med expert... nor do I even know much about the human body... but I think the neck brace is on just in case that he injured his neck as well and he doesn't know it. With back and head injuries, an injured neck could be suspected as well because I think the spinal column/spinal cord extends into the neck.

You know what doesn't add up? The fact that they tasered someone with a broken back weather it be once or 19 times.

"Get up!" "Zap!" "I SAID GET UP!!!!" "ZAP!" and etc.

Perfectly reasonable.

Local news report of incident.

Maybe it was the classic "cat" game gone wrong.

How did they go about moving him? Mabe he said stuff about killing cops because they weren't acknowledging that he was in pain.
