Darrell House was repeatedly tased by a park ranger at Petroglyph National Monument in New Mexico after stepping off the trail and refusing to ID himself. House said he briefly left the trail to avoid another group and observe social distancing. In a statement, the National Park said the “incident is under review.”

Video Shows Park Ranger Using Taser On Native American Man | NBC Nightly News
New Mexico has had a long history of rouge behavior that flies in the face of proper behavior of of police/ranger official's(imho). Remember when the police were warned that they were having way too many fatal encounters for that size of an agency.
Body cam footage shows the officer was not at fault. House was antagonistic and lied about his name, a federal crime. He tried leaving, and tried to use his dog as a shield. He's a terrible person. Witnesses said he and his sister were not praying, but running around. The major reason people are not allowed off the trail is the risk of damaging tribal artifacts. The fact that this guy is playing the victim card is disingenuous.
There is wayyyy more to this video, he was doing what he needed to do for refusing and refusing, and so on refusing and walking away more than once when being asked to identify himself. He started screaming to add a dramatic moment when clearly he wasn't getting abused. He refused to put the dog down and give it to his girl after being asked soooo many times AND ASKED NICELY, yet he wanted to be a diva fine, get treated like a diva. This was in NO way a racist thing nor was it abuse.
Of course it’s not showing the full video. The media is the enemy of the people.
You idiots ruined any credibility you might have had by posting this. This is so deceitful
I'm part Comanche and I'm for the USA
NBC is garbage, just like this man is. Native American or not, who cares
This guy had it coming..you don't listen you get tazed.
muricans cant even walk in park, "park ranger" but kills the land
He is definitely not a victim. He was the one that escalated this. Him pulling Native American AND Veteran card on this situation just render actual Native American and/or veterans issues meaningless. As a veteran and a POC, shame on Mr. House
This guy wasn’t there to pray to the gods. If you see the entire body cam of the ranger. This dude was not cooperating and he walked away several time from the ranger. His stupidity just made look more stupid on national TV!!! 😂😂
Churn up some more fake news NBC
fake news
The people need to stand up and fight this goverment and there police the people pay for everything and the people are the ones doing all the work but yet we have rich over paid people in goverment that have slowly taking away our freedome and we just keep allowing this? When do the people fight back and stand up together?
NBC you guys gotta work on getting the full story. Darrell House was in complete wrong and props to the Park Ranger. I really feel bad for a day or more that people were on the cancel side on the park ranger without seeing the full video
The video released from the NPS was even more disturbing. This entire incident could have been avoided if the ranger showed respect instead of the typically hidden biases and entitlement attitude. We shouldn't be watching this horror story over and over in our society. He was emboldened by the hate-mongering in some political officials Sad. Telling a Native that he, himself, doesn't want anyone near the area, hence the law, and saying it as if he doesn't exist, talking AT HIM, is a racist tactic. If they don't acknowledge you as human, they can proceed to harm you. Typical and SOP. The land was stolen from them, then genocide of the tribes is just too much evil. I don't know if we will ever be a great nation until this sickness is healed. THERE IS NO CRIME, THEREFORE NO ID WAS REQUIRED DUE TO THE AMERICAN INDIAN FREEDOM ACT OF 1978!!! THIS RACIST SHOULD BE FIRED. NO CRIME WAS COMMITTEE HE WAS IN HIS RIGHT. ALL THESE WITH NEGATIVE COMMENTS, CHECK YOURSELF, YOU HAVE SHOWN THE WORLD WHAT YOU ARE!!!. SAD THIS HATE DEFINES AMERICA AS A NON-THINKING LOBOTOMIZED COUNTRY. EVOLVE.
"he was trying to use his privilege to get his way."
His race card has been revoked.
Apparently being born with a certain ethnicity gives one special un-earned rights to not answer questions from police officers when the officer asks politely and is just doing his job – a job the American public has hired him to do. No one is above the law.
Click baiting
I mean, yeah, the guys has a right to be there. Of course. Let him practice his religion freely, by all means. But dude, just give him the right info to begin with and none of this would have happened. People always complain about law enforcement brutality, but I mean if you answer questions and follow directions, no one is going to shoot you or taser you. Just comply, and there's no need for escalation. It just irks me. Don't disobey or not comply and then scratch your head and be like, "Why would they do xyz?" It's common sense.
good on that park ranger. He got (tazed) him good!!!!
Just say a “man” in Texas
Darrell House, non-compliance, gave false name, and disobeyed an officer's orders on multiple accounts. Man should be locked up.
Tazed after providing false information to an officer and being hostile. Ranger was super cool up until the tazing
See the park service body can footage lol he was so rude to the officer and the officer was so calm I am Native American I do agree we have issues with the feds but even I have to say the officer handled the situation very well I agree we should be able to pray on our land but he handled this wrong it was his fault what happened between him and the officer.
And that's why I don't trust mainstream media.
If this was ANY OTHER race yall would say this is an outrage but because it's a native issue it's just cuz the media is being bais
Wow, NBC, this is why people don't trust you. The Ranger begged the guy to avoid escalation. You clearly had the Ranger's video because you know the guy refused to identify himself multiple times and even gave a false identity.
The Ranger takes his job of protecting the historical artifacts Off those trails seriously. Clearly this native man and woman did not.
