Black Lives Matter angry over deputy using Taser on 15-year-old male

Two Florida civil rights groups, including Black Lives Matter, are calling for an independent investigation after a female Polk County Sheriff's deputy used a Taser on a 15-year-old male during a domestic disturbance at a Davenport motel, WTVT-TV reported.

The deputy was trying to get the teen under control after detectives said he beat, shoved, and bit his 7-months-pregnant girlfriend, the sheriff's office told WTVT, adding that investigators said the pair was arguing over a cell phone during the July 8 incident. WTVT added in its video broadcast that the girlfriend is 19.

After getting hit with the Taser, investigators said the male teen continued to resist arrest, the station said.
