Ana V. Ramirez probably didn’t want to call the police last April when her adult son, Christian Pagan, had what was described as a “violent outburst.” She certainly didn’t want the police to use a Taser on the 25-year-old, who was born with a heart defect and Down’s Syndrome.
“He’s a handicap [sic] kid,” Ramirez told the Miami-Dade Police Department’s 911 dispatcher. “I don’t want them to shoot him with a Taser.”
Within minutes of their arrival at the family’s home in West Kendall, the police had shot Pagan six times with a Taser.
Ramirez and her other son, 21-year-old Hernando Yunis, tried to shield Christian with their bodies, pulling the Taser prongs from his clothing and pleading with the police to stop.

WTF???????? SIX TIMES? Holy shit!
I don't care what they want to call it, or say about the kid. That is raw police brutality. Period.
Hey, not as bad as waterboarding, unless the taser hits your balls!
Do they beat you over the head six times with a waterboard? Just asking.
No, I think they try to meke you swallow a waterboard...
