(Photo: KCTV5)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bryce Masters was heading over to a friends house Sunday afternoon when he was stopped by police who recognized that he had an outstanding traffic violation.<\/p>\n<p>A police official for the department said that Masters was not following directives, refusing to roll down his vehicle&#8217;s window.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I believe he did crack the window but did not roll it down any further,&#8221; said Sgt. Darrell Schmidli. &#8220;He was just being completely uncooperative with the officer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The driver refused to exit the vehicle,&#8221; continued Schmidli. &#8220;A struggle ensued, a <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/taser-gun\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"missouri-officer-tasers-teen-leaves-critical-condition\" title=\"Missouri officer tasers teen, leaves him in critical condition\" target=\"_blank\">Taser<\/a> was deployed by the officer. The driver was finally removed out of the car. A struggle ensued once he was moved out of the car.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Witnesses said that during the struggle, Masters hit his head on the street and the officer failed to recognize that the teen was seriously injured.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The cop was like, &#8216;you want to mess with me,&#8217; and pulled out his Taser and tased him. I thought he shot him. Then he pulled him out of the car handcuffed him and drug him around the car,&#8221; witness Michelle Baker told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kctv5.com\/story\/26529511\/teen-critically-injured-after-tased-by-police\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"missouri-officer-tasers-teen-leaves-critical-condition\" title=\"Missouri officer tasers teen, leaves him in critical condition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KCTV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It looked like he hit his head on the concrete. You could see blood coming out of his mouth,&#8221; added Baker. &#8220;The cop put his foot on his back and moved it back and forth like he was putting a cigarette out and asked him, &#8216;are you ready to get up now?&#8217; You could tell the kid was going into convulsions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Emergency medics arrived and treated Masters, who has since been put into a medically-induced coma because of the trauma to his brain.
