The officer used a stun gun on the teenager who is now in critical condition.

"The cop was like, 'you want to mess with me,' and pulled out his Taser and tased him. I thought he shot him. Then he pulled him out of the car handcuffed him and drug him around the car," witness Michelle Baker said.

Schmidli said Masters was warned the officers were going to use a stun gun and still refused to cooperate.

"It looked like he hit his head on the concrete. You could see blood coming out of his mouth. The cop put his foot on his back and moved it back and forth like he was putting a cigarette out and asked him, 'are you ready to get up now?' You could tell the kid was going into convulsions," Baker said.

Witnesses who saw the whole thing happen say they watched Masters die and then come back to life after emergency crews resuscitated him.

At this time I went to place the male under arrest. He got into a fighting stance and clenched his fist. Me and the male got into a physical altercation due to me being in fear of my safety and I received a punch to the body.

PICS OF INJURIES AT THE END OF THE VIDEO. Officer Brent Aguilar of the Clovis Police Department (Clovis, NM) stopped a vehicle for a traffic stop. When the passenger simply asked why they were being stopped, the Officer turned the investigation on the passenger and demanded his ID. When the passenger kept asking why the vehicle was stopped, Officer Aguilar said he was under arrest for Concealing ID. While taking him to his patrol vehicle, Officer Aguilar claims he "Resisted" and suddenly slams this 26-year-old on the ground, breaking his cheekbone and causing thousands of dollars in medical bills. To top matters off, he then charges the young man with Resisting as well.

Case was dismissed on all three counts (obstruction, resisting, not wearing a seatbelt [this charge was added after being booked in on the original two charges]) on 01/06/14. Lawsuit is certainly forthcoming.
Video from FPV of both stops has still not been released, but contains very juicy audio of the second stop. WMPD has sovereign citizen mania. Officer Richardson (second stop, big guy) says something along the lines of "I was fixin' to waste both these sons of bitches right here on the side of the road, just like last time." A Commercial Appeal article says he was one of the first officers to respond to the sovereign citizen related shooting in West Memphis in 2010.
Food for thought.

He'd been out there for about 10 minutes when Roy's doorbell rang. She opened it to find her son —and a woman she didn't know. As Roy wrote on her blog HaikuMama last week, the mystery woman asked: "Is this your son?"
What happened? The usual. A busybody saw that rarest of sights—a child playing outside without a security detail—and wanted to teach his parents a lesson. Roy might not have given the incident a whole lot more thought except that shortly afterward, her doorbell rang again.

This time it was a policewoman. "She wanted to know if my son had been lost and how long he'd been gone," Roy told me by phone. She also took Roy's I.D. and the names of her kids.

That night Isaac cried when he went to bed and couldn't immediately fall asleep. "He thought someone was going to call the police because it was past bedtime and he was still awake."

free-range-kidsAs it turns out, he was almost right. About a week later, an investigator from Child Protective Services came to the house and interrogated each of Roy's three children separately, without their parents, about their upbringing.

"She asked my 12 year old if he had ever done drugs or alcohol. She asked my 8-year-old daughter if she had ever seen movies with people's private parts, so my daughter, who didn't know that things like that exist, does now," says Roy. "Thank you, CPS."

It was only last week, about a month after it all began, that the case was officially closed. That's when Roy felt safe enough to write about it. But safe is a relative term. In her last conversation with the CPS investigator, who actually seemed to be on her side, Roy asked, "What do I do now?"

Replied the investigator, "You just don't let them play outside."

There you have it. You are free to raise your children as you like, except if you want to actually give them a childhood. Fail to incarcerate your child and you could face incarceration yourself.

Weiler was charged with disorderly conduct and 2nd degree assault on a law enforcement officer and goes to trial September 23, according to his Youtube description of the video he posted Monday.

Kahler is referring to a recent spat with the Transportation Security Administration. For several years, he says, he's had to undergo extra scrutiny while flying -- and at one time was denied the privilege to board a plane -- because of comments he'd previously posted on a political website. (It's unclear what those comments were, and Kahler declines to shed light on what he describes as his "unique belief system," which is not "anti-government.")

On Sept. 6, he had assumed he would be turned away again, but ended up boarding a Minneapolis-St. Paul airport flight to Denver after being padded down, along with his father.

The Department of Homeland Security won't say what actions might get you on the naughty list, but the New York Times noted last year that the TSA has begun searching a wide array of databases, including vehicle and employment records, to access fliers for risk. The only way to know that you've been flagged is to check your boarding pass for an "SSSS" designation, as Kahler did.

Sometime in the air, however, TSA agents decided that his body and bag warranted a closer look. Flight attendants singled him out and forced him to leave the plane after it landed ahead of other passengers. He recorded what happened next on his cell phone:
