Cop Tasers Compliant Teen Into Fit Of Seizures: ‘He Was Trying To Kill My Son,’ Says Mom

[Purveyor]

An African-American teen in Connecticut is recovering in the hospital after being shocked by Hartford police with a Taser, even though his family said that he was obeying officers’ commands.

In surveillance video obtained by WTIC, 18-year-old Luis Anglero Jr. can be seen walking up to an officer, and then comes to a sudden stop and puts his arms to his side.

However, the officer continues to advance toward Anglero, and fires his Taser, causing the teen to fall to the ground.

Members of Anglero’s family who witnessed the incident said that the teen hit his head on the sidewalk, and started to bleed. In cell phone video recorded by witnesses, Anglero shakes uncontrollably as if he is having a seizure.

“[The officer] told my brother, if you move up more I’m going to tase you, so my brother he went like this, he went like this, he was standing like this and then the guy just shot him for no reason with the tase,” Nautigo Negron, Anglero’s sister, told WTIC.

1. More bad Conn. cops:

in East Haven... is that near Hartford, I assume?... convicted of conspiracy and violating civil rights of latinos, in a Federal criminal case. No mention of a civil case, I assume one will likely be filed.
