The video of an Atlanta police officer tasing 17-year-old Terion Fortson, has gone viral. Channel 2′s Larry Spruill obtained the video from the ATL Uncensored Instagram page. The video has over 100,000 views.

“I was scared, because you know, past events, of police officers and Black people, you expect him to be shot, but she didn’t,” said Brendon Aldridge.

Brendon Aldridge was at the Historic Fourth Ward Skate Park on Thursday when everything happened. He said, “He was only vaping. She asked him for his ID. He was being calm, he wasn’t being like, ‘No, I’m not going to show you my ID.’ She tased him. It was crazy, because while he was on the ground, shaking, she was like, ‘Get down, get down,’ like he wasn’t already on the ground. It was even crazier, like six other police officers pulled up and they were all dapping each other up, saying, ‘What’s up?’, hugging. I’m like, what is this? That was just crazy. It made no sense.”

“We are aware of the incident and we are aware of the video circulating on social media showing a portion of the encounter. We will be reviewing the entire video related to this incident to determine all of the facts. At this time, that investigation continues.”

But Aldridge said Fortson wasn’t resisting arrest, “He wasn’t. Like he seriously wasn’t.”

Fortson was charged with disorderly conduct. The family said Fortson is back home and recovering. Meanwhile, the Atlanta NAACP is also investigating.
