Was This 14-Year-Old Boy Brutally Tortured By Pennsylvania Police?
Posted by Michelle Moquin on November 20th, 2013
Good morning!
After yesterday’s post, I couldn’t help but post another write showing us once again, just how abusive police can really be. Once again…the power is given to the thugs with guns. And they use every opportunity to make up for what they lack in the sack. Even to the extent of brutally beating up a 14-year old kid!
There is some pretty charged banter going on in the comment section where I found this write. Not quoting his entire statement, one person stated: “…Don’t hate my color, hate THIS dick.” That about sums it up.
Was This 14-Year-Old Boy Brutally Tortured By Pennsylvania Police? (PHOTOS)
UPDATE: 11-18-13 11:00 AM EST
The mother of the 14-year-old boy who was subdued with a Taser in the face is calling into question whether the officer’s actions were appropriate.
“I know what my son did was wrong, but look at the picture, you think he deserved all that for retail theft?” Marissa Sargent told LevittownNow.com exclusively on Saturday morning.
Sargent also alleged her son’s rights were violated because police officials “wouldn’t let me see him at the police station.”
“He’s a minor, I’m his parent, and I should’ve been able to talk to him while I was there” she said.
Sargent plans to file a complaint against the Tullytown Police Department. We’ll keep you updated on the latest.
A photo of a 14-year-old baby badly bruised, swollen and beaten has been making it’s way around the internet, posted by the teen’s mother her claims her son was abused by police.
Sharing the picture below on Facebook (which we warn is pretty graphic), the mom claims the police of Tullytown, Pennsylvania left her son’s eyes swollen and nose broken, after tasering him in the face.

Any one who can help me get justice please comment I’m torn mad angry just can’t deal # HELPSee More
However the police seem to have a different story.
According to the police, after they handcuffed the teen and put him in the back of the cop car, he escaped leading to a chase and he refused to listen to orders. This, they claim led to them using a taser after several warnings.
Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler gave the following account to the Courier Times:
Tullytown police were called to Wal-Mart for a shoplifting incident.
Police took three males into custody. While in the back of a patrol car in handcuffs, one of them got away and started running toward Route 13.
Police gave chase, repeatedly warning the youth to stop.
Seeing the teen running toward Route 13 with his handcuffed hands behind his back, police feared for his safety. They warned him he would be hit with a Taser.
Heckler said he was told the police officer gave a warning to stop or he would use his Taser gun.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that police did warn the youth several times, Heckler said.
Not seeing him stop, police fired a Taser barb, hitting the boy in the shoulder and cheek.
The boy fell down. He was taken to a hospital and treated. He was then taken to the county juvenile detention center in Doylestown Township as he was under a juvenile probation violation, Heckler said.
Heckler says his office is not investigating the claims, but said if the boy’s mother comes forward and complains, he would look into it.
And while Heckler hasn’t spoken to the teenager he says juvenile probation spoke to the boy and the teen also told his probation officer that no one ever touched him.
Mmm… conflicting stories much? We’re sure in due time the truth will come out. We’ll be keeping an eye on this one. Until then let us know who’s story you believe.
*****
Readers: Is there any doubt whose story to believe? The injuries on this kid’s face is not from a fall. In my opinion this is police abuse. And, can you imagine not being able to see your son, a minor, for three days? Simply unacceptable. This would probably never have happened if he was white. Simply disgusting.
Thoughts? Blog me.
Zen Lill: I am sorry we haven’t chatted. I am just now getting caught up on all of the comments since last Saturday. Let’s try and connect this weekend.
Peace out.

EDITOR’S NOTE
GOOD AFTERNOON TO EVERYONE!
It happened quietly and didn’t draw a lot of Big Media coverage, but Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal won a huge victory against the Obama Administration when a lawsuit against his popular school voucher program was withdrawn. The Justice Department apparently didn’t tell anyone except the judge it was backing down; the judge passed the good news along to a group of concerned parents who wanted to enter the case in support of the voucher program.
The whole case was, to borrow Governor Jindal’s description, absurd from the start. The voucher program gives students a chance to escape from failing schools. Something like 90 percent of the beneficiaries were black and Hispanic. And yet, Eric Holder’s Justice Department tried to kill the program because it supposedly interfered with federal desegregation efforts!
The last straw was probably the release of recent studies that showed the voucher program was in fact improving racial integration in Louisiana schools, among its many other virtues.
There are still fears that the Administration will try to use a seemingly innocuous request for annual data about the program to strangle it with red tape, but there are also encouraging signs that Justice will continue to back away. It was an outrage that federal interference with Jindal’s program was ever contemplated, and difficult to escape the conclusion that it mostly done out of fealty to the most powerful special interest in America, the education establishment.
It would be a mistake to allow the Obama Administration to quietly retreat from such an outrage without paying a political price. Judging by the reactions from congressional leaders, and of course Governor Jindal, that looks like a mistake Republicans will not be making. School choice is a crucial part of educational reform. Entrenched interests should be made fearful of abusing regulatory authority to thwart it.
