"Other officers laughed at what was happening..."

The Advocate - Baton Rouge Police Cpl. Charles O’Malley, right [see image at link], uses a Taser on a handcuffed man in 2008. O’Malley was later fired for the incident.

Three years earlier, he was accused by a New Mexico trooper of kicking and choking a handcuffed teenager. After an Internal Affairs probe, O’Malley was not disciplined.

Other officers laughed at what was happening, and supervisors did nothing to stop the actions taken "...while dealing with a 16-year-old black male that they had no probable cause to stop, was illegally searched and had nothing in his (possession) that was illegal."
