Student Tased by Law Enforcement at Langston Hughes High School speaks out.
This press conference addresses the deeply troubling incident involving a student who was tased by law enforcement at Langston Hughes High School. His Attorneys Harry Daniels and Gerald Griggs and his parents, came together to demand transparency, accountability, and justice following the use of force against a minor on a school campus.
Speakers outline the facts as they are currently known, raise serious concerns about excessive force in schools, and call for a full and independent investigation. The press conference also highlights the broader impact of police presence in educational environments and the need for policies that prioritize student safety, de-escalation, and due process.
We stand with the student and family and affirm that schools must be places of learning—not trauma. This incident raises urgent questions about the treatment of young people and the standards governing law enforcement interactions with students.
