OZARK, Mo. — A family wants answers about what happened to their son that left him hospitalized. Early Saturday morning, police found Mace Hutchinson, 16, underneath the Highway F overpass over US 65. Mace ended up in intensive care at a hospital. His parents believe the actions of Ozark police officers contributed to his injuries and slowed doctors’ abilities to speed his recovery. “We called the police. My wife was afraid he was going to get ran over or hit,” said witness Doug Messersmith. Messersmith and his wife were the last known people to see 16-year-old boy walking, shortly before their phone call to 911. “He looked a little agitated but, other than that, he didn’t look to be falling down drunk or anything like that,” he said. By the time officers arrived, the teen was off the 30-foot overpass, lying on the shoulder below along US 65, with no good explanation as to how he got there. “According to the doctors, all injuries are consistent with a fall,” said his aunt, Samantha. Mace’s dad believes it was just that, a fall, not a jump. The question is why. “They tested his system. He was clean of drugs and alcohol. We don’t know why unless just being in shock and the whole thing in itself caused him to forget everything,” said Hutchinson. His aunt says he is undergoing major surgery for a broken back and broken heel. While he was lying on the ground, she wonders why Ozark police used an electric stun gun on him up to 19 times. “I’m not an officer, but i don’t see the …
This was horrible, that kid did not deserve being abused by the cops. I wonder if the justice department will investigate that police force. This is another example of the cruelty of some police.
Sadly if he was a person of color no one would care. I hope those cops are prosecuted and sent to the same prisons they send others.
SHAME SHAME SHAME ON YOU CAPTAIN,
So why are you not out on the streets? Why is there no outrage?
I know what happened. He fell to the ground, and broke his back. Cops arrived, thought he was drunk, ordered him to stand up, and when he tried to explain what kind of pain he was in, the cops didn’t listen. The kid grew agitated and furious with rage that he’s lying there in such pain and two fascist dickheads were screaming at him, so he ran his mouth a little bit.
Then the cops tazed him 19 FUCKING TIMES.
These cops should be dragged out into the street and burned alive.
Some people like watching high speed chases, some like watching things like law and order. I prefer watching real life cases of police misconduct. You know this is a form of crime as well?
he refused to comply? he fukin broke his backk u think he gives a fuck, fukin cops r such pricks
Welcome to the New Nazied States of America!

Watch some more ‘democracy ‘ at work in PUBLIC TORTURE and Google:
message for the uniforms and the dark suits
Anyone feel like RAGING on these cops?
wtf
19 TIMES HOLY SHIT!!!! COPS EAT FAT COCKS!
… he has a broken back and they tazed him for not being able to stand up? WTF
Deliquent kid trash talking cops. Meh it happens. Cops need to seriously be retrained on how to deal with these situations. He’s lying on the concrete with his leg almost up his ass and broken neck and you feel his is a threat? LMFAO talk about abuse of power.
Subdue him, are you fking kidding me, what a joke, sad thing is, this officer actually thinks they did no wrong, I don`t care what the kid said, he didn`t deserve to be tasered. If I find someone lying in the middle of a highway, and exspecially right beside an overpass, I think I could put 2 and 2 together, and conclude that they were in need of medical help, not a good ol boys tasering.
The police went into the situation not knowing exactly what happened. What would you do if you approached a situation where you didn’t know what happened, a teen is lying in the middle of the street, trash talking cops, and threatening them? I am not saying I think he should have been tasered…but the cops were there to help him…and all he did was insult them and hurt his own cause.
y the fuck did the cops tase him if he was already badly injured?!
@purp he had a broken back and was lying on the ground, i dont think he reached into his pocket for anything, or got up to do anything……….
@jessicahor correct, but did he tell them that he was injured and unable to comply? No. He shouted profanity at them.
@purp meybe he was trying to commint suicide?? i dunno
haha the cops were probably drunk and were like AWESOME A DEAD BODY! lets go tase it
maby he wouldent have fallen if he was on drugs if he was smoken pot he would have never wanted to go 4 a walk
FUCK THE POLICE I HOPE THEIR FAMILIES DIE IN FIRES
@purp so i guess when you fall off a 20 plus foot bridge you’ll be ready to comply with an officers demands?
@Down1nTexas did I say I would be ready to comply? All I said was that if he was able to trash talk the police, then obviously he would have also been able to tell them that he cant move or do what they say. Since when is yelling profanity at the police a good idea?
americans… pigs..
he refused to complie because he was inured, fucking pricks!
