Police taser 10 year old.

[TheScottishFella]

Works for me. I miss the days when you were allowed to hit the little shits for being little shits.

Now, if you so much as say the wrong words, they can sue you.

Fair enough society has become overly protective that trying to discipline them is an impossible task but hitting that's just wrong!

 

[SyphonX]

Your argument became invalid when you tried to make a joke when you told him to get serious.

Oh, you're so perceptive. You might have noticed I wasn't directly telling him to be serious, but I was making a broad statement.

Anyway, you go on with your bad self, and that "Children are Living Gods" theory. Were you being serious or were you joking? Oh, I don't know, nevermind.. I'm not perceptive enough.

I know alot off people who defintly need some treatment like that

Granted, it's shocking to see a 10 year old tasered, but if the police officer ASKED PERMISSION to do so, it's for a good reason. It's quite possible that the officer in question is quite tall/strong, and was afraid that he would break the girl's bones if he attempted to restrain her with physical methods: a perfectly legitimate fear.

I mean, the girl's probably not in her right mind... and when people are like that, they can be amazingly strong.

I'd say that any adult police officer unable to restrain a 10 year old girl should consider another career choice.

While I don't really disagree there, NEVER underestimate the power of retard strength! Still, the mother gave the OK, and better a taser shot than breaking a bone trying to restrain her, so the officer was doing the smart thing in that instance. Sad that it had to come to that though.

Honestly, this person needs to control their kid better. If she has to call the police in over that, there is something seriously wrong. Then again, this sounds like one deranged kid.
As if I needed more reason to never EVER have kids!

I don't know the full extent of the story, I'm impartial. I think if the girl was fully aware of what she was doing then fine taser her (yes, I said it) to get her to a point where she is restrainable. We are expecting a grown man to restrain a 10 year old girl, any form of force would have been just as painful maybe even more so. They tell you not to restrain a person having a seizure, so treat the girl in the same way since she's flailing around like an idiot, you try to restrain her you're more than likely going to get her hurt. You aren't going to be able to carry her to the car, she's being too difficult and if you manage to do that how are you going to cuff her? Yeah, the taser may have been a little too much but maybe appropriate in calming her if it is true that the tase was brief.

Her father says she's has emotional problems...DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT, don't allow it to get to a point where she's doing this to herself. I find it hard to believe that either parent are doing anything to help this child get through her problems if it has to get to a point where the police are called.

There is no win/win in this situation, but I think the girl definately needs some form of help considering their parents are divorced I can see where these emotional problems lay. Not to mention, I like the parents are mudslingers which isn't going to help the situation.

Good for the police officer and those who keep on yammering about how he shouldn't be a officer I really pity your narrow view on the world.

I was really shocked to see you're from the UK. (Wait for me to conceal my sarcastic face.)

I guess you're used to it, enjoying CCTV up your ass 24/7 and growing a lawless corporate police force. Must be cool.

No, America isn't better either, just saying.

I'm enjoying the lovely CCTV thank you very much just as much as I'm enjoying the gangs of teenagers roaming some parts of town beating the shit out of people while the law cant do anything about it. Two children about the ages of 10 and 12 took a 5 year old child down to some train tracks in Britain some years ago and murdered him that is what a 10 year old can do.

If you read the article the kid was going bat shit crazy and if officer feared by using the force necessary to subdue the child it would lead to a broken arm which believe me is really easy to do.

Have a nice read.

if a six year old in a no loitering zone who, when asked to comply, attacks and injures an officer, then yes. You have to look at all the factors instead of "OMG a cop tazered a little girl because she didn't want to shower?!!!1eleven!!"

Oh, I'm sorry, which factors in the situation am I failing to notice against your keen eye?

Possibly, the child's loitering could cause major civil unrest, and when finished injuring the officer she's going to go on a one girl rampage of wanton Hannah Montana influenced carnage? At which point assault with a weapon becomes the last option and the only way of stopping somebody that's about three foot tall?

laughable on paper, but age is subjective. if the article was girl A called the cops on her room mate, girl B for situation X, when the cops arrived girl B was unruly, violent, ect and assaulted the officer, resulting in a tazering. you and anyone else would call that "problem solved" but as soon as girl B is a minor, you turn blind to the real issue.
you do NOT assault an officer
you do NOT dissobey your parents

On pain of assault?

What in the name of Christ is the real issue? Unruly six year olds going around assaulting the public free to do so because police offers aren't allowed to get medievil on them?

Ever been mugged by a rouge gang of children?

If I wasn't so lucid, I would think I was in Warsaw circa 1939 with the propaganda running hot in Berlin. I didn't know they were digital back then, hrm. Guess I should freshen up my history a little.

 

[ugeine]

Do I smell sarcasm?

Of course not. The only logical way to get your children to respect you as an adult is to kick seven shades of shit out of them. There's literally no other way.

 

[Davey Woo]

Whole problem could have been dealt with before calling the police with a sharp backhand to the face.

However I think that as the police officer was given permission by the parent to use the taser, I see no problem with its use in this situation.

I think this is more an issue of bad parenting than of poor discipline of the police officer.
Calling the police over "bath-time"? Come on.

 

[The DSM]

I think they where right, also it made me laugh, because im cruel.

 

[ugeine]

Exactly. I agree with you. Children get it too easy now a day.

Damn right. Only the other day my nephew William forgot to bow when I entered the room, so I cracked him in the face with my brass knuckles.

 

[Adzma]

Kids are little shits these days, so if I were him i'd have probably used my nightstick and beat the living shit out of her.

My thoughts exactly. It's not like a tazer is damaging. Painful yes, but I'm sure she deserved it.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Screw the tazer, whip out the baton.
