Moberly police Tased Harlan twice two nights ago after they say he resisted arrest. But protesters have a different story. They say Moberly officers used excessive force and do so frequently.

They call Harlan's death the final straw and say some form of disciplinary action needs to be taken.

"I want the brutality, excessive force, the harassment, that the Moberly Police Department puts on these young people to come to an end," said mother Anthena Bachteo.

"I just want him home, I just want him to go home," said Bachteo.

In a phone interview tonight, Police Commander Kevin Palmatory says the excessive force accusations in the Harlan case are false.

The investigation is now in the hands of the Missouri Highway Patrol.
