According to the article above: “The men told city investigators they were at their mother’s apartment to help her grocery shop, with one saying Brown previously invited him to live there.
One of the experts said that the videos show the two officers actively escalating the situation instead of calming things down and eventually “using the Tasers as a form of torture to get them to do what they wanted them to do.”
“Anyone with any common sense can see the officers never give the kids a chance … and they immediately turned to a weapon that is one step below using lethal force,” said Gary A. Rini, a longtime police officer and commander from suburban Cleveland who now works as a police consultant and expert witness.
Following the incident, one of the brothers made a complaint to the Citizen Complaint Authority, which was created as part of the 2001 Collaborative Agreement to investigate allegations against police.

Per the article below; Deputies tortured a restrained teenager by using a stun gun on him, lawyers say
Fifty seconds. That’s how long Cheatham County Deputy Sheriff Mark Bryant held a stun gun to Jordan Norris over the course of four bursts, at times inches from his heart, in an incident captured on video in a Tennessee jail.
Straps held Norris’ arms and legs while a deputy appeared to hold his mouth shut with a rag. The stun gun’s low hum drowned out Norris’ deep heaves.

Woman Live-Streams Video after Police Shot Boyfriend
Video Live Streamed over Facebook while inside a car with a woman and her child, shows the moments after a cop shot her unarmed boyfriend 4 times, killing him
Video released shows the moment when officer Jeronimo Yanez stopped Philando Castile for a broken tail light in Minnesota last July. Yanes was acquitted last week. During the trial, Yanez said he feared for his life, and thought Castile was pulling out a gun he was licensed to carry. Mireya Villarreal has more.
The extraordinary footage begins calmly with Reynolds narrating what happened as she trains the camera on Castile, whom she describes as her boyfriend, and on at least one officer who is seen pointing a gun through the driver’s side window.
“Please, officer, don’t tell me that you just did this to him,” she says. “You shot four bullets into him, sir. He was just getting his license and registration, sir.”
Reynolds can also be heard saying on video that the officer “asked him for license and registration. He told him that it was in his wallet but he had a pistol on him because he is licensed to carry. The officer said, ‘Don’t move.’ As he was putting his hands back up, the officer shot him in the arm four or five times.” Jul 7, 2016
