“Hulett suffered neurological damage in 1991 after being hit by two trains, causing him to be handicapped. ‘Because my back feels better standing up that sitting down…puts more pressure on two herniated disks,’ Hulett said. When the driver asked him to sit down, he refused. Syracuse Police were called and officers ordered Hulett to get off of the bus. He again refused, saying he was doing nothing wrong. After approximately a minute of back-and-forth with police, the incident escalated and police deployed a taser. In the video, an officer appears to lift up Hulett’s shirt and then fires the taser. Hulett can be heard apparently howling in pain in the video.”
