THIS is the shocking moment a police officer Tasers a boy who appears to be wearing school uniform after a “neighbour row”.
The teen boy can be seen lying on the ground after being taken down by cops – with witnesses screaming in horror.

Officers had been called to the address in Hodge Hill, Birmingham, on Monday after reports of a civil matter between neighbours.
But the situation descended into chaos, with horrifying footage showing a West Midlands Police (WMP) officer grab a teenager and put him in a headlock.
Onlookers screamed: “Get off him, get off him,” as the boy manages to break free from the copper’s grip.
The same officer then points his Taser at the schoolboy before zapping him – causing him to fall to the grass.
In the hard-to-watch clip, the boy’s legs start twitching as he lays helplessly on the grass.
A woman in the background, who seems to be his mum, can be heard shouting “he’s 14” and “what the f** have you done to my son”.
The officer tells the boy not to move and to put his hands behind his back.
Terrified people can be heard pleading “watch his asthma, look he can’t breathe, he’s a child.”
The cop then yells at witnesses to stay back before adding: “I don’t care, I don’t care.”
WMP have since said the 14-year-old and a man, 37, have been arrested following the incident
A spokesperson said: “We’re investigating after being called to a neighbour dispute in Kempson Road, Hodge Hill just before 5pm yesterday (16 Oct).
“Several residents were arguing, there were allegations of physical violence and the two officers were faced with a hostile crowd.
“As they attempted to diffuse the situation, threats of criminal damage were made.
“One of the officers tried to arrest the suspect, but he resisted and the officer was further attacked by another man.
“During the scuffle, a 14-year-old boy was Tasered.
“A 37-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy were arrested on suspicion of assaulting a police officer and remain in custody.
“The teen was also arrested for criminal damage and threats to cause criminal damage.”
The force has since said they are reviewing body-worn cam footage and have referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
