Cop Tases 10-Year-Old Girl - November 18, 2009 (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/1118091taser1.html)

Disgusting story. Disgusting pig tasering a little girl. Wonder if he feels like a big man now?

When do you call the police because you can't handle your kid? When do the police arrest a kid for not listening to their parents?

Wow! At least it didn't happen in Oklahoma City right?

I just can't believe this!

I wonder if there is going to be a conservbot who speaks for the cop..

Out east, it happens regularly. The parents can't get their butts out of bed to go to school so they call the police to do it. And these are 11 and 12 year old kids.

And they call them about family altercations when the kids are punching holes in the wall and chasing their siblings down the street with a lawnmower (yeah, that actually happened) too.

Never heard of them getting out the taser, though.

I probably would have tasered her too. She kicked him in the balls!

Ok, not really though.

For the sake of the conversation, when the mom wasn't apparently physically able to control the kid, when the kid wouldn't respond to the police officer's demands, and there is no dad around, what would you have done to control her?

Offer her a teddy bear in return for straightening up.

So no good alternatives? Sounds like he may have been justified in using it. She straightened right up so it did the job.

^^^You know, why didn't he just shoot her? I'm sure you could justify that too. I mean, she wouldn't listen to mommy or the cop.
