Missouri Teen In Coma After Being Hit By Police Stun Gun

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Doctors were trying Tuesday to awaken a suburban Kansas City teenager who was put in a medically induced coma after a police officer critically injured him with a stun gun in an incident the FBI is investigating.

Bryce Masters, 17, of Independence, is being treated for a lack of oxygen to the brain that occurred when his heart stopped after he was shocked Sunday afternoon, his family members said Tuesday in a statement released through their attorney, Daniel Haus.

"The FBI Kansas City division has initiated an investigation into the allegations of excessive force by a member of the Independence, MO Police Department in reference to an altercation that occurred Sunday," according to the FBI press release issued Monday.

Knowing in advance that it's coming is a huge advantage.Some people can't see a train coming when they're standing on the tracks,but my advice would be to ALWAYS expect the unexpected in todays police world.Brace yourself for anything.You don't have to be doing anything wrong at all to be a victim.Had he instantaneously braced himself for this he would be fine today.The world's reaction time has slowed down significantly in my lifetime.

Maybe he should have listened to the officer? No, not his fault.... never the idiots fault for resisting.

Houdini himself failed to brace himself when a college student punched him in the stomach.As a result he died shortly afterward.Anyone can be caught off guard.
