A Native American former Marine was walking his dog with his sister in a New Mexico national park when he was tased by a park ranger after going off trail.
Later identified as Darrell House, the veteran and Oneida and Navajo tribes member joined his sister on a walk near the Petroglyph National Monument where he frequently goes to meditate and pray, The
New York Post reported.
In a video that circulated on social media, House is seen crying out for help as the ranger tasers the veteran, sending him to the ground.
House’s sister, who filmed the incident, is heard shouting at the ranger, asking, “What are you doing? Excuse me, what are you doing? Stop!â€
“Oh my god, this guy is attacking us!†House’s sister shouts.
House repeatedly cries out to the ranger that he doesn’t have anything while holding his hands up, adding, “I’m a peaceful person, sir. You’re escalating this!â€
