RoundaboutsAn informational guide

There are two settings for Officer Seth Brown's Taser; one setting shoots darts connected to wires, penetrating skin to immobilize a person. The other setting is called Drive Stun Mode, where the device is directly pressed against a person like a cattle prod. Brown was seen pressing his into the teen's clothing.

When comparing a roundabout to a traffic light, studies show that roundabouts provide a 90 percent reduction in fatal crashes and a 75 percent reduction in crashes with injuries.

Washington calls the boy her son. CBS 2 showed her body camera footage that had been kept secret for a year and a half. A chilling sound that lasted for 11 seconds.

Her organization works with law enforcement and kids, by helping to create policies and training programs to avoid situations like this.

Roundabouts offer improved safety with fewer conflict points and slower speeds. Roundabouts also help improve motorists’ decision making while driving through the intersection. PennDOT is installing roundabouts across the state and requires that this design be considered when a significant intersection update is planned. Intersection and Interchange Geometrics, which includes roundabouts, is a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Every Day Counts Round 2 (EDC-2) innovation that Pennsylvania championed.

Education is vital to the acceptance and success of a roundabout. PennDOT District 5 designed a roundabout at the intersection of U.S. Route 222 and Pennsylvania Route 662 in Richmond Township, Berks County. The intersection is heavily used by local Amish and Old Order Mennonite communities.

Thurau: "Without understanding the lethal and sometimes long-term consequences of Tasers, you're putting a whole lot of kids at risk, and you're not giving officers what they need; which is policies, training, and guidance about the risk of this kind of weapon on kids."

A roundabout is a type of circular intersection that does not require vehicles to stop before entering the intersection. Roundabouts complement transportation objectives like improving safety without compromising the ability to keep people and freight moving through towns and cities. The roadway curvature encourages reduced vehicle speeds and entering traffic must yield to circulating traffic.

Lisa Thurau has studied the misuse of Tasers on children around the country as director of the nonprofit, Strategies for Youth.

Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website.

To ease their concerns, a team from PennDOT District 5 helped organize a special outreach meeting with the communities’ members. The team explained how the speed inside a roundabout of 18 to 24 miles per hour is about the same speed as a horse and buggy, so they will travel roughly the same speed as the rest of the traffic in the circle. The team also explained how a bicyclist has the option of riding through the roundabout, or they can dismount and walk through as a pedestrian.

"This is what I call use of force for officer expedience," Thurau said. "No, that is not why you use force with anybody. You don't do it so that you can punish or cause them pain. You don't do it to subjugate them and teach them their place. You don't do it because you don't feel like running. That's not what an officer uses force for. That's not an acceptable justifiable use of force under any legal framework in the United States."

Thurau's nationwide examination of decades of lawsuits involving Tasers, also called "Conducted Electrical Weapons," found the devices were used on a disproportionate number of children of color and children with disabilities.

Thurau pointed to other cases of Tasers she says were wrongly deployed on children, including an 11-year-old girl in Cincinnati who was suspected of shoplifting, and a 16-year-old in Florida who was simply waiting for his girlfriend at her backdoor. He fell and smashed his head.

"Each time I see something like this, after doing this for so long, I am still outraged, terrified, and revolted. I feel for this kid," she said.

The 14-year-old boy scratching his head and the girl next to him was being questioned by Sauk Village police about a broken window.

Roundabouts and traffic circles are often confused. However, there are many differences between the two. Roundabouts are designed to be as small as practical to accommodate continuous, slow-moving traffic. Entering traffic must yield to circulating traffic. Traffic Circles vary significantly in size and traffic speeds. Entering traffic or circulating traffic may be controlled with stop signs or traffic signals. There may even be parking within the circle.

As her son got away from the Taser, he started to sprint. At that point, his encounter with police became nearly fatal. The other officer, Sergeant Scott Langan, drew his gun from his holster, aimed it, and fired - shooting the teen just below his belt on his hip.

"To do the Drive Stun Mode, even though it was through the young man's clothes, is especially bothersome, because that is done to cause pain. Pain compliance, and the use of pain to get young people to comply, is just wrong, especially for a broken window," Thurau said.

Days later, Sergeant Langan told officials investigating his actions that the shooting was an accident and he thought he was firing his Taser.

"He has to live with those bruises from getting tased the rest of his life. The gunshot wound. He has to live with that," Washington said crying.

Things escalated quickly. The teen was shocked repeatedly with an electroshock weapon - a Taser delivering voltage and an electrical discharge causing an immense amount of pain.

Roundabouts are considered a safety countermeasure due to their ability to substantially reduce the types of crashes that result in injury or loss of life. They significantly reduce head-on and T-bone crashes. They also decrease congestion with the constant flow of traffic and improve pedestrian and bicycling crossing with slower moving traffic and refuge areas. Roundabouts complement other common community values with quieter operation, improved function and aesthetic options as opposed to traditional intersections.

The $6.6 million project replaced a signalized intersection with a modern roundabout, along with widening U.S. Route 222 to four lanes at the roundabout approaches. Since its opening in May 2018, the roundabout has seen no major crashes.

Bettina Washington is upset that neither officer was charged for their role in injuring the teen, and she's also upset to learn a police disciplinary investigation into the incident didn't even begin until last month - a year and a half after the teen was tasered and shot.

Thurau: "Regrettably, there is no uniformity, no consistency in data collection within states, across states, between departments. It is highly problematic, so we don't know how often Tasers are used, know when they are used on kids. We don't know what the outcomes are."
