A state police officer in New Mexico is being sued after he allegedly tasered a child in a school playground for no reason other than he refused to clean the cop’s patrol car.
The boy’s legal guardian, Rachel Higgins, claims that Officer Chris Webb shot the boy, referred to as “R.D.”, with a 50,000 volt stun gun while visiting on a “career day” at Tularosa New Mexico Intermediate School on May 4.
The complaint notes that the officer approached a group of boys and asked which of them wanted to clean his car. When R.D. said he had no desire to clean the patrol vehicle, Officer Webb is claimed to have stated “‘Let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police.’”
He then pointed his taser at the boy, according to the report, and fired two barbs directly into the 10-year old’s chest, electrifying him and causing him to blackout.
Webb then extracted the barbs from the child’s chest, leaving scarring ” that look like cigarette burns”.
“Instead of calling emergency medical personnel, Officer Webb pulled out the barbs and took the boy to the school principal’s office,” the complaint states.
The complaint claims that the boy has suffered mental trauma and night terrors and is now afraid of going to sleep at night for fear he will not wake up again.
Ms Higgins stated in Santa Fe County Court that “No reasonable officer confronting a situation where the need for force is at its lowest, on a playground with elementary age children, would have deployed the Taser in so reckless a manner as to cause physical and psychological injury.”
Higgins is suing on the grounds of battery, failure to render emergency medical care, excessive force, unreasonable seizure, and negligent hiring, training, supervision and retention.
Police guidelines on tasers state that the weapons must only be used as a last resort when an officer is under direct threat. The idea that a 10-year old boy weighing less than 100lbs poses any form of danger to a police officer is a joke.
Numerous studies over recent years have proven that Taser stun guns can cause heart problemsand even induce sudden and lethal cardiac arrest.
Webb’s alleged remark to the boy sums up the way many police officers see themselves, as grand overlords that cannot be questioned or challenged. To these people, anyone who reacts in a way they find disagreeable is a viable target for attack, no matter if they are a child, a pregnant womanor a person with a disability.
Earlier this month, two police officers in Texas tasered a man who was having a seizure, causing the 50-year-old to suffer a heart attack and permanent brain damage. The cops were so ill equipped to deal with the situation, that they broke out tasers and shocked a man who was already convulsing on the ground.
As we reported on Infowars Nightly news, it took paramedics 11 minutes to revive the man and bring back his pulse. It is a miracle he is still alive, though he will now have to live with severe disabilities for the rest of his life.
It is endless amounts of these kind of incidents that show cops are not being trained to use tasers only in situations when they are threatened. They are using the weapons on anyone who does not immediately respond to orders.

Yeah, men with small packages tend to act like that. He was probably jealous of the ten year old’s manhood. That cop had dang well better be glad that wasn’t my son..
Is this a joke ???
Has the USA gone down so far as to even entertain the concept of such an event happening?
This is blatant criminal assault (wildly disproportionate to the threat posed by the kid, which was ZERO) and the cop should be sacked, prosecuted,jailed and put on a child offender register for 10 years.
No sympathy for the prick at all.
SAY DAVID,either your a obama troll,or your to stupid to live in this country,why don’t you move back to russia or where ever you came from asshole……….
Lawsuit my ass, i would shoot and kill this bastard, if this was my son, he couldnt hide far enough away from me, id shoot him in his balls with that tazer, i would kill that pig!
Ohevi,when I was a kid the children ran all over town and NO ONE dared to bother them,because the neighborhood MEN would kill anyone who dared to harm their children,NOW all the girlymen get down on their knees and beg them to stop harming their children,IT DON’T WORK NOW AND IT NEVER DID..DEATH IS THE ONLY THING CHILD MOLESTERS UNDERSTAND……………..
EVERYONE TAKE A GOOD LOOK,at whats coming YOUR way,I’ve said its time to start firing these animals for years,reduce the size of the police gang,BUT NO WE LOVE SWAT TEAMS KILLING FAMILIES AND CRIPPLED PEOPLE,how long did you think it would be before the children would be the next VICTIMS of these gangs in blue?????I know I’ve heard it before “they would never do that to MY children” YEA,just wait your childrens day is coming,I just hope your children don’t die while your trying to pull your head out of your butt when you realize its your turn…………..FIRE these animals while it can still be done,ITS not to late yet……….
This policeman should be charged with multiple felonies and also
sued together with the New Mexico State Police in a federal civil law suit embracing multiple tort violations, and a claim of very high money damages that would allow seizure of his pension moneys and their transfer to the child.
WHEN the order is given WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE KICKING IN YOUR DOOR TO TAKE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE??theres not much time left now to FIRE these animals,and then run them out of town,THEY ARE TRAINING TO TAKE YOU DOWN,THERE just whores for DHS,FEMA,and will do what there told and more,the WOMEN OF KATRINA found out,they were raped and murdered BY THE POLICE GANG,and there was no one to STOP them,NEXT TIME IT WILL BE YOUR TURN………….
Apart from bringing criminal and civil charges and suing in civil court, the name address and phone number of this officer should be posted on the internet and widely disseminated. He should not be permitted to escape sanction condemnation and excommunication by the community.
THERE was a time in america when an attack on the children ment certain death,NOW a slap on the risk and everythings smoothed over,EXCEPT FOR THE CHILD who is trumatized for life about it,THE ALPHA MEN in america discovered a 100 years ago you can’t allow anyone to harm the children,and now its OK,this is the exact reason all the ALPHA MALES WERE PUT IN PRISON,because they “would” protect their children,now all the girlymen in the streets are fagots and pusses,and the children have no protection anymore……………..
If this is true, the cop should lose his job and be tasered by the boy live on all national news stations.
that would be only half the punishment
What is going on with tasers, they act like they are toys. They can kill people.
