Some local Native Americans claim they're targets for being tasered by Sioux City Police. Accusations stem from the recent release of a taser report breaking down each incident by race.

The report says of the 70 people tasered by Sioux City Police last year, 13 of them were Native American, that's roughly 17% of all those tasered.

The report comes just days after a 13 year-old, 90 lb. Native American girl was tasered by police outside of Rollerama.

Frank LaMere is outraged. He says proportionately the report spells out injustice, since Native Americans only make up 2% of Sioux City's population.

Defending his department, Police Chief, Joe Frisbie, says the numbers found in the report are ethical, equal and non-discriminatory.

However, LaMere still claims Native Americans are being picked on. 

"If they read between the lines the information we received bears a lot of scrutiny and to me, it's somewhat scary," says Frank LaMere.

"The incredible fact here that he [LaMere] needs to get a hold of is that we had 70 incidents, can you imagine that we only used the taser 70 times in over 9,000 arrests. That means less than one percent of the time overall, and a lot less than that for them," says Police Chief Joe Frisbie.

LaMere says he hopes to get a more detailed report from Chief Frisbie outlining the different circumstances for each incident.
