Another youth tased by police
According to reports reaching our newsroom, the young man tased was with a group of persons returning to Tortola from the Long Bay Beach on Beef Island around 1:00 pm when they were pulled over by police just after crossing the bridge.
Reports also indicate that the same police patrol was on the beach and may have been observing the group of persons, who were packed up in a small vehicle on their return from the beach.
Tasing incident
Our newsroom was also told that police then attempted a search of one of the young men when they were met with resistance.
In the video police appear to be trying to arrest the young man, amidst a vocal group of persons; however, the man resisted by either walking away and even re-entering the vehicle he was in. At one stage one of the officers attempted to restrain the man but was pushed away and almost tumbled to the ground.
The young man was then tased from behind and collapsed to the ground where he was then handcuffed and taken away.
United Kingdom national and Commissioner of Police Mr Michael B. Matthews, who has repeatedly defended the actions of his officers, had not responded to our request for a comment on the incident at the time of publication.
More details to follow.

The Co*********? jealous of Bobby he don’t like black people he only pretend
Who are these cantankerous on the underbelly of the law humanity.
That officer was set on tasing that fellow from get-go, which is likely why he was in the car to avoid being tased ...but all people seeing is an assault on an officer and not provocation and willfull misuse of a weapon by an officer.

Police acting like sociopath predators. But this is what we tolerate foreign police chief and a force stacked with savage foreign officers.
The police and all have no respect for us either so wa &***u talking.. hush your @@@
Stop behaving like they are some little harmless innocent children. They are big hard back man and woman that know right from wrong. They are just darn disrespectful.
I have to deal with them in the school system and it's the same way they behave - rude and disrespectful. You mustn't correct them because they have a right to do whatever they feel like doing.
I will keep saying this: If u don't give the schools the authority to fix these indisciplined children, this is what the society is going to become - lawless.
I was sooo embarrass to see that video and how our local children sound. Like classless banshee trash I want to know if Ms. E*** don't wish for a do over with this big 6'2 drama queen girl child always looking for a way to be noticed. Nothing nut classless trash sounding pasture horse!
This about the young man why you jumping on what she doing and not doing. How are you so sure she ain't taking care of her kids. Just mind your own business and keep to what the story about. And yes if you want to know this is one of her sister.
