After recently sentencing a former Independence police officer to
four years in prison for violating the constitutional rights of a minor,
a federal judge released the dash cam video on Monday revealing the
overzealous cop tazing the teen for no reason and brutally slamming his
head onto the street. Although the innocent teen went into cardiac
arrest, which resulted in oxygen deprivation and brain damage, the
aggressive officer can be seen in the video repeatedly using excessive
force on the boy’s unresponsive body.
On the afternoon of
September 14, 2014, Officer Timothy Runnels pulled over 17-year-old
Bryce Masters because his license plate matched a plate wanted for a
traffic warrant. According to the police, Masters refused to cooperate
with Officer Reynolds and resisted arrest.
But according to newly released police dash cam video,
Runnels blatantly escalated a nonviolent situation while violating a
boy’s constitutional rights. In his own dash cam video, Runnels can be
seen exiting his patrol car during a routine traffic stop before
approaching Masters’ passenger-side door. After Runnels orders the teen
to roll the window all the way down, Masters responded, “I can’t. The
window’s broken.”
