A Kansas deputy tased a 12-year-old autistic boy who was handcuffed, shackled and hogtied
https://www.cjonline.com/story/news/2022/09/20/kansas-deputy-disciplined-tasing-handcuffed-hogtied-autistic-boy-jackson-county/10411384002/A Jackson County sheriff's deputy used his Taser on a 12-year-old autistic boy without warning as the youth sat handcuffed, shackled and hogtied in the deputy's vehicle.
The state's law enforcement oversight body says Matthew Honas on Feb. 23 used excessive force multiple times on the boy, including tying him up in a manner that threatened "his ability to breathe properly."
The Kansas Commission on Peace Officers' Standards and Training on Aug. 22 issued an order of reprimand to Honas. While Honas was discharged March 3 from his deputy's job in Jackson County, the commission chose not to revoke his certification as a law enforcement officer.

So he'll be able to do this again, as soon as he finds some other county to hire him.
That child might have died.
The hatred of disabled people is just so prevalent.
