A Jackson County sheriff's deputy used his Taser on a 12-year-old autistic boy without warning as the youth sat handcuffed, shackled and hogtied in the deputy's vehicle.

The state's law enforcement oversight body says Matthew Honas on Feb. 23 used excessive force multiple times on the boy, including tying him up in a manner that threatened "his ability to breathe properly."

The Kansas Commission on Peace Officers' Standards and Training on Aug. 22 issued an order of reprimand to Honas. While Honas was discharged March 3 from his deputy's job in Jackson County, the commission chose not to revoke his certification as a law enforcement officer.

The encounter was captured on Honas' in-car camera, KSCPOST said.

3. My question is...

How did the abusive cop learn how to hogtie kids that way, and who else has he done that to?

4. So he will just move one county over and continue to "protect and serve"?

8. More like he'll continue to "Tie Up & Taser"

9. Indeed. I hope the child's parents can file suit against him personally.

5. How can he keep his certification?

He should be in jail. He tortured an autistic boy.

6. Do that to my autistic kid (I have one)

and I will be hunting you---and it won't be with a taser, either. I'm 79 and don't have much life to lose now.

7. Someone should check on his family.
