An expert's examination of decades of lawsuits involving Tasers found they were used on a disproportionate number of children of color and children with disabilities.

CHICAGO (CBS) – It was a broken window complaint that led to a 14-year-old boy being shot by a police officer.

But before being shot, the teen had been repeatedly tasered. The intense pain caused the teen to run.

Dave Savini and the CBS 2 Investigators reveal a disturbing trend of who officers are more likely to use Tasers on.

    I’m proposing we force everyone to live efficiently so climate change doesn’t kill billions of people and we don’t waste trillions of dollars on redundant infrastructure. There so much fucking waste involved in keeping these little towns alive. If they don’t like it, they can also become one of the essential rural workers that can continue to live out here.

    Private vehicle ownership needs to be abolished because it creates a ridiculous excess of redundant machines and infrastructure for no reason. Always needing wider roads, more road maintenance, more gas stations, more cars and trucks, more power lines, more suburbs, more and more and more extra waste that makes life worse overall for the rest of humanity.
