In one video, an African American teenager who had his hands up is tased by police. He is clearly not resisting arrest, and just makes a small movement toward his backpack that officers had allegedly told him to take off. Onlookers in the video shout out that the officers are doing “all this over a vape.”
You can watch the video of the tasing below, but fair warning: it’s disturbing and it’s tough to watch the way this young man is treated.
