Terrifying moment police smashed a car window and tasered passenger

A shocking video shows terrifying moment police drew their guns, smashed a car window and tasered a passenger during a routine traffic stop. The video was captured by their son Joseph, 14 according to Daily Mail

Lisa Mahone, 47, was driving with her boyfriend Jamal Jones and two children, Joseph, 14, and Janiya, seven, in Hammond, Indiana, when she was pulled over for not wearing a seat belt.

Officers collected her license and insurance card, before asking to see Jones's ID, which he said he did not have because he had recently received a ticket.

When Jones reached into his bag in the back seat to get the ticket, police appeared to draw their guns. They then ordered the passenger to get out of the car, which he refused to do.

Minutes later, officers decided their only option was to break into the vehicle and subdue Jones.
The shocking video was captured on their son's cellphone, shows an officer smashing the passenger window with a metal weapon, sending shards of glass flying through the air.

He then plunges his arms through the broken window and tasers Jones while Janiya screams loudly from the back seat, before taking him into custody.

Miss Mahone and Jones, who was later charged with resisting law enforcement and refusal to aid an officer, are now suing Hammond police for 'overstepping their authority'.

Today, Jones told NBC News that he felt like his civil rights had been 'just thrown out the window' during the traffic stop.

He said: 'I tried to explain to the officer, my first thing I said to him, my kids are in the car, my mom's passing, can you please make this as quick as possible. He threw this out the window.

The family's attorney, Dana Kurtz, 'Thank goodness Joseph took the video, because the video stands for itself that these officers engaged in excessive force.'
