In 2014, former Independence, MO, police officer Timothy Runnels pulled over 17-year-old Bryce Masters due to a mistaken warrant on the car's plate.When Masters questioned the stop and refused to exit his vehicle, Runnels tased him for 20–23 seconds (way beyond the usual 5-second cycle), causing Masters to pass out. Runnels then handcuffed him, dragged him, and dropped him face-first onto the pavement, leading to cardiac arrest, oxygen deprivation, severe brain damage, and a medically induced coma. Masters nearly died but survived with lasting effects.
Runnels pleaded guilty to federal civil rights violation and got 4 years in prison. The family was awarded awarded $6.5 million.
The officer was clearly in the wrong with how long he tased the young man. Do you think these devices should have an automatic off after a few seconds and a 30-60 second window before it would work again to prevent this from happening again?
