Surveillance Video Captures Cop Tasering 14-Year-Old Female Student

Newly-released video showing an Allentown, PA police officer tasering a 14-year-old female student in September is causing debate over whether the officer used excessive force. The video was released as part of a lawsuit filed by the girls family.
The family says the officer targeted the girl even after she tried to “surrender” and lost his cool by using his taser. Police, however, tell a very different story.
NBCPhiladelphia.ocm explains:
The incident happened back on September 29 outside of Dieruff High School. The video first shows Keshana Wilson, 14, walking towards a car on the street with two friends on the 800 block of Washington Street before turning to talk to another group of students, according to the Morning Call.
The video then abruptly cuts to Allentown Police Officer Jason Ammary struggling with Wilson on the side of a parked car. Ammary appears to be shoving Wilson against the car. She then appears to push her left forearm against his face. Ammary then steps back and fires his Taser at Wilson’s groin, causing her to collapse to the ground. Several security officers then arrive. One can be seen leading a teen boy away in handcuffs.
Morning Call, the local paper, reports the girl was taken to the hospital to have the taser barbs removed form her leg.
Still, reports say she was charged with aggravated assault on the officer, simple assault, riot, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, failure to disperse and walking on the highway. The assault and riot charges were later dismissed.
The lawsuit claims excessive force, saying the officer fired the taser directly at the girls leg and then filed charges as a means to justify his actions.
But the police, according to Morning Call, give a different account of the events:
Police said Dieruff had been having problems with students being disorderly during dismissal. On Sept. 29, a large group of students crossing E. Washington Street in the 800 block had slowed to the point of stopping traffic.
According to a police report filed at the time:
Police tried to get students to move along with verbal commands. Most listened, but some remained in the middle of the street, talking on phones, texting or just not moving.
An officer approached the girl and two of her friends to get them to move along, but she began to curse, which was inciting the crowd. The officer went to arrest her for being disorderly, but she twisted away from him.
She began to resist and the officer had to lean her against the trunk of a car to place cuffs on her. The girl turned back and elbowed the officer in the chin.
The girl kept hitting the officer, so he backed up, un-holstered his Taser and fired at her. He reached down to get his cuffs, which fell during the struggle, and he placed her in custody.
Previously, the local police chief justified the officer’s actions by citing the “use-of-force continuum,“ which Morning Call says means ”that after the officer’s presence and verbal commands fail, he or she can restrain and control an active resister through non-lethal means, such as pepper spray, hands, baton or the Taser.”

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 1:56pmI totally disagree with you. Taser is non-lethal and 98% of the time far better than anything else physical. If he shot her in the torso, she would scream sexual assault. Hitting her in the thigh is excellent restraint on the officers part. So what is your suggestion if a person is resistive, non-compliant to verbal commands, and belligerant? If it were me, I would take away her iPhone. Now that would be real punishment for a 14 year-old hoodie.

The law is the authority, and the cops are not the law.
There is no “respect your elders” law. Swearing is protected speech.
They weren‘t obstructing any traffic because there wasn’t any traffic.
All your points fail. The Nazi tasered a little girl because HE is a little girl who can’t restrain a little girl without using a taser, and the reason he wanted to restrain her is because she probably told him to buzz off in expletive words. He is an overzealous NAZI THUG and I don’t want him or anyone LIKE HIM on the streets.
Tasers have killed grown men. It is a cattle prod, and humans are not cattle.
People are sick of Nazis abusing civilians and then trumping up a wad of charges to cover their indiscretion.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 2:17pmShe surrendered her rights when she refused to follow the lawful commands of a LE officer. Being tazed definitely sucks but it is safer for both officer and suspect than fighting with them. A lot of agencies have the Tazer before soft hands on their use of force continuum, based on the chief’s statements at this agency it is the same step on the continuum giving the officer options.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 2:20pmAny policeman who cannot detain a 14 year old girl without a taser should not be on patrol. And that would go for a female policewoman as well. There is a degree of physical strength and toughness that goes with the job. If you can’t do it then you should not qualify. This was absolutely a case of excessive force.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 2:35pmRead the article, she elbowed him in the face. Presence, verbal commands, and attempt to restrain all failed… the officer is completely justified. Instead of berating his actions, teach your children (and yourselves) to obey lawful commands and NEVER strike an officer or resist arrest. If they make a mistake, that’s what the legal system is for, and you can make those complaints later. The girl escalated the situation, the officer merely reacted to her actions.

If a cop UNLAWFULLY aggresses a citizen, that citizen has the RIGHT to defend themselves, and if they feel like their life is threatened and there is no means of escape, they have the RIGHT to use deadly force aginst that cop.
I don’t want a Nazi Thug using that type of force on a child to clear a street that has no traffic at the time. Stop making excuses for Police Brutality.
SurfinRallylizard, why don’t YOU read the article, the cop approached the child first and tried to arrest a CHILD for disorderly conduct, likely because she told him to get lost in a way he didn’t like. Cursing at pigs is not disorderly conduct, it IS protected speech. This cop has a LAWSUIT on his hands, and I would sue him PERSONALLY, then sue his superiors and the entire department.
To you bootlickers…the police are not the law. The cop tried arresting her for disorderly conduct, not jaywalking or obstructing/impeding traffic. Stop making excuses for Po’ Lice Brutality.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 3:29pmI thought the cop was wrong until I read well into the article. This article builds the case in favor of the teenager and then reveals the police position which is much more simple, obvious, and believable.
The above replies show the difference between people with public education, which are deteriorating the United States, and those who get all of the information before commenting.
Okay, since none of you learned critical thinking in high-school, let me break this down:
Option A: Evil cop breaks out of a Hollywood film, decides that today he’s going to walk up to this girl he sees who is the main star of this movie, and tase her and file charges against her. Mua haha ha ha hah a.
Option B: School is having problems with students blocking roadways during dismissals, hires a crossing guard / police officer to patrol. Police officer is doing his job and is met with a Government Educated self-entitled idiot teenager who’s parents voted for Obama, who is too high and mighty to move out of the roadway, and starts to scream and cuss at him.

You people are so brainwashed. The cops are NOT our “authorities”. They’re our public servants. Master, servant. Master, servant. Get it?

What the COP is doing is really called “Assault with a Deadly Weapon.“ COPS cannot ”tease” anyone with a gun or TASER. TASERs have been know to kill people just like handguns and are deadly weapons this is why we are not allowed to have them. The COP is a criminal and should never be allowed to be a COP again.

In fact, it is a crime to NOT move from a roadway (impeding traffic) especially when an officer tells you to do so. Had she simply listened, she would have been on her way. Had she complied with the officer to turn around and place her hands behind her back, she would have been handcuffed without incident. Until you’ve been in those shoes (of an officer) you have no idea what it’s like. There are a lot of good officers out there and I would bet the great % fit that bill.

And I suppose a police officer is supposed to just stand there and take her trying to incite a riot, cursing and being physically abusive to him? I agree with the previous post in that he showed restraint. He put up with the cursing, the instigation, but when she got physical, he refused to wrestle with her and risk putting his hands somewhere that she could later claim he was “touching her inappropriately.”

How dare you! Seriously! You live in a police state and you would tell your children to just respect that fact? If you knew that you were a slave, would you tell your children to just accept that fate as well? My guess is that people like you make slavery possible and are a slave owner’s dream. As long as they have you teaching your children that it is okay for someone to abuse you and take away your rights, they don’t have to do as much convincing. Why do you think they have umpteen different cop shows on TV every night of the year?
And for anyone who thinks that the girl might have been holding up traffic….
What do I need to tell you to prove that that simply wasn’t the case? The row of cars on the street is parked. There is a sign blocking traffic from coming onto the street, and not a single car comes from the other way the entire time. However, a cop did rush this girl and shove her into a parked car (probably scratching the paint or denting it) and then he shot her with a taser. Tasers by the way, are not a “non-lethal” weapon. There is no such thing. It is a less-lethal weapon. That means that it is less lethal than a gun. But guns aren’t always lethal either. So you could say that a gun is a less-lethal weapon when compared to a claymore mine. The fact of the matter is that a taser can KILL a person. Especially a child who has an unknown heart condition.

Posted on December 15, 2011 at 12:35pmThis video appears to be altered. There is more to the story. The based upon this “clip” the officer could have punched, kicked, used a baton, pepper spray. In most states the citizen as a “duty” to submit to the arrest even if the individual being arrested believes the arrest or detention is unlawful. No officer is expected to be punched, elbowed or kicked and not “escalate” their use of force to control or subdue the person being arrested. However, to render a fair opinion, I would like to have a independent witness from the start until the incident concluded. Then, I may be able to render an educated, reasoned and informed opinion.

All the Tea Party members I know say “Don’t Tread on Me”, and that goes for the Nazi Police State as well.
It’s fine to support your local police, as long as they’re not acting like Nazis and brutalizing little 14 yr old girls and beating up protestors. I support the Oathkeepers, and that’s it. I expect the rest of the Police to willingly obey any orders they’re given and trample all over my rights.
The Tea Party is for small, itsy, bitsy, teeny, tiny government. An overzealous, militarized, federalized police state standing army is NOT in line with those interests. National Defense Authorization Act will take your ideological observations and turn it on its head.
A Nazi is what a Nazi does. Beating and tasing a 14yr old girl for not getting out of the street fast enough for a overzealous Nazi Prison Guard is exactly what it looks like. I believe my eyes. I’m not into being willingly ignorant.

The cops are not our authority. They’re public servants. Public Servants aren’t supposed to abuse the public, especially not 14yr old little girls.
No parent authorized the police to administer punishment, and you’re characterization of that type of abuse as “follow through” just illustrates your lack of understanding of the purpose of police. They’re supposed to use discretion. This cop used indiscretion and tasered a 14yr old after physically aggressing her.
I bet he was telling her to stop resisting the entire time he was throwing his 200lb+ frame against a 14yr old FEMALE sandwiched between him and a parked car like he was tackling a violent criminal.

They are Americans, and deserve the American dream like the rest of us. the high abortion rates, high murder rates, high prison rates, drop out rates…. is a travesty. Not to impress you, but I do not have black freinds, but have friends that are black. When getting my undergrad, I lived in Phenix City Alabama. Spent much time in the Riverview Apartments complex, working with a group of young black males. Did everything from help them with school, to taking them hunting, fishing, shooting, swimming, sporting events, and so on. They ate at my house, and I ate at theirs.
We live in a day ruled by political correctness, where white males are supposed to run away scared any time someone calls them a homophobe, racist, or sexist. Guess what dude? I aint running. I speak the truth when it comes to what is going on in black communities, where the democrat policies have all but destroyed the black family. Welfare and state programs made the black “man” not needed. Thus the reason we have baggy pants Tyrone and Jamal cruising in their donks, seeing how many women they can knock up.

Posted on December 16, 2011 at 7:10pmHere let me explain it so you can understand it. I am absolutely sure that officer had better things to do that day. I am sure that the teachers or people who live near the school have been complaining to the chief, mayor, or city council and the officer was told by someone at the department to do something about this. Obstructing traffic is against the law. I am sure the officer started out by telling them they needed to get out of the street and like most teens today with no respect for anyone, they ignored him. I am sure he tried to tell them a few more times and they probably responded with some very nice F yous or F offs. That is probably when the officer decided to arrest her. Let me explain how that is legal. The girl was breaking the law, she was given a lawful order to stop breaking the law, she ignored the order or told the officer where to put the order. The officer then had the right to arrest her for failing to comply with the lawful order of a police officer. If she had done what she was told to do there would have been no problem. He goes to arrest her, I am sure she said something nice like ” Get your F’ing hands off me!”. The girl turns as he grabs her wrists, strikes him in the chin with an elbow and hits him. Hmmm pretty much assault on an officer right there. Rather than put her in a straight arm bar and take her to the ground, which could have broke her jaw or at least left her with a nice case of road rash he steps back and tazes her and arrests her.

We are told to slow and stop in School zones, but the children are harassed by Police for walking too slowly across the road.
What was the pretext for all of this? the slowing traffic!??
Traffic should avoid the School zone, get over it!
And the kids! Well, they can see that they live in a Police State after their daily indoctrination about how America is free and all of that propaganda garbage, and you do not expect one of them to confront the Cops and be defiant?

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 2:20pm30 years ago the presence of police by a school was unheard of. The police now lie in wait for just this type of situation. Police have been over hired, do not fight crime, and look for money from the citizens to pay for the entitlement mentality that the communist teachers have created. We are out of control in this nation. The police state that has been formed under our watchful eyes has become corrupt to the point of absurdity. Police have a responsibility to PROTECT AND SERVE!!! This is not service, it is intimidation by all means. That is the state of police in America today. The only thing that might have saved this girl is if she were an illegal mexican.

Posted on December 15, 2011 at 1:13am@hiddenlion Sir, you are an idiot. I have looked at your previous post and just lost for words. What exactly do you think freedom is? If freedom to you is doing whatever you want without considering that others can be harmed, violating laws, disobey authorities – then it is an anarchy, NOT freedom.
We live in a country with the law that gets respected (by most of us). Try living in Eastern Block or in former USSR where there is no law. You would not survive a month – I guarantee you that.
The police here is not to duke it out with people who disobey them. It is not a boxing match, not a d*ck measuring contest, not a UFC. They have to contain a violator by any necessary means. And if that means a tazer, then be it. How he knows she does not carry a knife?

Posted on December 15, 2011 at 5:59pmIt’s been said before, and we’ll say it again.
Police have a continuum of escalation that they are required to follow. He was doing his job, and he was following, correctly, his continuum of escalation. He didn’t skip any steps in the chain. He deployed non-lethal force.
Let’s stop right there and define non-lethal force. Non-lethal is something designed NOT to kill. Lethal force is designed to kill, and it does so effectively. Do some people die getting hit with a Taser? Yep. Does that make it deadly force? Nope. Do some people live when they get shot? Yep. Does that make it non-lethal force? Nope.
Why didn’t he just wrestle her to the ground as so many of you said he should have done? There would have been twenty witnesses who said he was feeling her up and trying to rape her in the middle of the street. Plus, it increases the likelihood that the officer will be harmed as well.
Did you know that sometimes a rescuer drowns when trying to save someone drowning? That‘s why you’re taught to try to stay dry when trying to rescue someone drowning, until getting in the water is your last resort. Physical confrontation is the last step before deadly force, not the first. No arm bars, no joint manipulation, nothing. Reduce physical contact to only what is necessary, or you’ll find yourself going home from the hospital rather than the squad room, if you go home at all.

Posted on December 14, 2011 at 1:53pmAbby, I presume you’ve never been in a physical altercation. The taser allows the officer to gain immediate control. If he had physically fought her, as your suggestion that he is a “weakling” implies, she would have sustained much more injury than a couple of pin ****** and the bruising of her pride. By cursing at the officer and ignoring his instructions, she created the potential for other students to get involved. The video isn’t clear, but the short bit of her flailing as he pulled her out of the car leads me to believe she probably did elbow him in the chin. There are some power hungry cops out there, but we need to support those that do what is necessary.

Cops wouldn’t run the risk of getting hurt so often if they would just mind their own business. The idea of “law enforcement officers” is so flawed from the get go. There are some good cops out there, but the general mentality of LEOs is frightening.
Crossing the street slowly or stopping in the middle of the road should not be an arrest-able offense. It’s annoying as hell for others, but let others handle it instead of getting gestapo involved.
If those who blindly support the police and this continuum of force BS would just wake up and smell the ovens pre-heating. Stop with this mentality of “if you are a law-abiding citizen, then you have nothing to worry about” crap. Most laws are unconstitutional and we have more laws everyday that make it difficult to abide within the law. Until proven otherwise, police cannot be trusted in this day and age.
And to you cops out there reading this, you are not “the authorities”. You are part of the executive branch of government as outlined by the constitution. You answer to the people. We have rights that remain in tact in face of the stupid laws you hide behind. No warrant? You don’t get into my car, my house, my bag, my pockets, etc. Terry stop? FU.

Of course it’s safer for the officer, but it’s exponentially more dangerous for the person being subdued.
The problem with it stems not from using a tazer in the first place but the situations and manner in which they are often employed. There are countless examples of police tazering people not just enough to get them under control, but literally tazering them to death by continuing to tazer them dozens of times. There are countless examples of police immediately resorting to tazering somebody without even an effort to simply manually restrain them. There are countless examples of police tazering innocent people that it was later determined had not actually committed a crime.
I guess you must have missed the story about a month ago where police pulled over a man for a routine traffic violation and left him with permanent brain damage and a serious heart condition that he’ll have for the rest of his life because they mistook him for somebody with an outstanding arrest warrant.

Unfortunately, the body can only withstand so many shocks, even though the brain does not connect the body does. Enough shocks, the body shuts down and then the brain shuts down. The persons dead before they hit the ground. Just a thought. The police won’t know it till it happens.

Please shut up with the “people on drugs can endure more tasing than people who’re not on drugs” garbage.
