A Peruvian family who resides in Bradenton, Florida, was pulled over by the Holmes Beach Police Department after an automated license plate reader flagged the vehicle’s plate as possibly being driven by someone without a valid license. The driver was Orlando Diaz, who spoke very little English. The officer asked his son, who is autistic, to translate. The officer then proceeded to have the son translate to his father that he was under arrest, rather than being given a citation. The son became quickly and visibly upset after seeing his father being placed in handcuffs. Shortly afterwards, the father would be thrown on the ground and the autistic son, Francisco Diaz, would also be thrown on the ground and tased several times.

Here’s the family’s GoFundMe:
