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.

    There’s one scenario I can think of that might be worse than outliving my own children. Outliving everyone. If I were to outlive any hypothetical children I might have, I’d be shattered, and probably depressed until I died. If I was a lone survivor of a nuclear or viral apocalypse, I’d probably go completely insane quite quickly. Permanent solitary confinement that has no hope of ending. Quite bleak.

      I’m good at solitary, so I wouldn’t go insane, I’d become extremely lonely and suffer from prolonged depression, but carry on none the less.
