CHICAGO (CBS) -- It was a broken window complaint that led to a 14-year-old boy being shot by a police officer.

But before being shot, the teen had been repeatedly tasered. The intense pain caused the teen to run.

Dave Savini and the CBS 2 Investigators reveal a disturbing trend of who officers are more likely to use Tasers on.

a police disciplinary investigation into the incident didn't even begin until last month - a year and a half after the teen was tasered and shot.

And this is why ACAB. If it takes the cops that long to even start looking into a problem, then they don’t see it as a problem.

It's All Cops Are Bastards, not Bad

I prefer ACAC. All Cops Are Criminals. Legally they are. All of them are at bare minimum accomplices to their colleagues crimes.

Civil servants are what they used to be.

Nah, it's just what they used to be called.

Not at all. The current police model was created to capture run away slaves. They've always been a method of oppression, you just didn't hear about it as much before the internet.
