Atlanta high school student just wanted to get home to his autistic brother. Instead he gets blasted with a taser

A high school student in Atlanta was hit with a Taser at point-blank range during a terrifying confrontation with a school resource officer right on the bus. The whole disturbing encounter was caught on camera, and frankly, it’s awful to watch.

The incident involved 18-year-old Lanier Johnson-Hunt, a student at Langston Hughes High School. Video footage shows things escalated incredibly fast.

After a very brief struggle, the officer deployed the Taser, hitting the teen right in the chest and leaving him screaming in pain, per TMZ.
