This is the appalling moment a cop electrocuted a 17-year-old boy for so long he went into cardiac arrest and almost died, captured from the teen's point of view.

The disturbing footage was shot by Bryce Masters back in 2014 after he was pulled over by former Missouri police officer Timothy Runnels, who then shot him in the chest with a Taser for 23 seconds.

Masters' video shows Runnels attempting to drag the teenager out of his car and telling him he's under arrest without giving a reason, before pulling out his stun gun and firing it.

The footage, filmed by Masters, shows Runnels attempting to drag him out of the car during a traffic stop but failing to explain why, before pulling out his Taser and firing it into the teen's chest

 

For what seems an eternity the Taser clicks away, sending wave after wave of electricity into Masters' chest, eventually knocking his heart out of rhythm.

 

Footage from Runnels' own dashcam then captured the rest - as he handcuffed the teen's body, dragged him to the back of his vehicle, and then dropped the dying teen face-first on to asphalt.

While on the concrete, with his heart failing to beat properly, Bryant's brain was starved of oxygen for between six an eight minutes.

As a result, he now suffers brain damage including anxiety, anger issues, headaches and short-term memory loss. 

Meanwhile Runnels has been sentenced to four years behind bars after pleading guilty to one charge of depriving a minor of his constitutional rights.

The prolonged electrocution, four times longer than the duration police are trained to deploy their Tasers for, caused Masters to go into cardiac arrest and be placed in a coma

As well as being Tasered in the chest (left) Masters (right before the accident) was handcuffed and then dropped on his face on to asphalt

The charge relates to the moment Runnels drops Masters on his face while in handcuffs. He was not sentenced for deploying the Taser.   

 

Court filings say Runnels allowed the taser current to run for about 20 seconds, which is four-times longer than officers are trained to have their tasers deployed. 

At court, police also said that Runnels had pulled Masters' car over because of an outstanding warrant attached to the licence plate, but did not give any more detail.

Masters' father, who is a cop himself, and his family gave a statement following the release of Runnels' sentence.

They said: 'While we are pleased that Mr. Runnels was held accountable for his actions, no one really wins in this scenario.

'Two law enforcement families were devastated by these events and we all simply wish that day had never happened.'

That was aweful, officers like that cop makes policemen/women's jobs even harder. That kid didn't do anything wrong.

Do they not have any training on tasers? You can't taser someone, then scream a command at them to comply while they are flopping around still in shock. It seems like they taser, then start screaming orders and they keep tasering. It is totally absurd and ridiculous beyond belief.

 I'd be pissed.

BUT I wouldn't be worried about some message board I didn't know about and what might or might not be said.

 

But let me ask you, if it was a white cop and a black kid, would you be so quick to speak up?

Again, you're making ZERO sense. It would not matter if the policeman was magenta & the kid was turquoise.

I was commenting on HOW you present yourself. This is something that never should have happened. Some common decency would be appropriate.

How I present myself?

Yeah. Cause that's the topic of discussion.

I don't care if you like it or not.

My point stands.

If this were a black kid and a white cop the protesters would be picketing and Obama would be making a huge mess worse.
