Police Sued Over Use Of Taser During Traffic Stop

A federal lawsuit claims that police in Hammond were way out of line when they broke a car window and Tasered a passenger during a traffic stop.  The incident took place September 24th when officers demanded that Jamal Jones get out of a car.  The suit says Jones refused because he feared the officers would harm him.  A cellphone video of the incident shows an officer breaking the car window with a club and using a Taser on Jones.  Jones was in the car with a female friend and her two children when the traffic stop took place.
