AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!!!
Because God forbid they have to admit that sometimes children need to own up to their own behavior. Nothing better than white knighting a possibly dangerous child.Srkkl said:How come no one ever blames the little shit thats misbehaving, she deserved a tase, hell if anyone kicks me in the groin and I have a taser on hand they're new nick-name is going to be sparky, 10 years old or 100.
Yeah, yeah. Unless you've ever actually thrown a violent tantrum that scared your mother into calling the police, I suggest you keep your ten-year-old self locked in your memories as he is completely irrelevant to the current discussion.Korolev said:I was ten years old once, and I know what ten year old children are like - they are not scary or strong. Bringing them into line is not difficult.
Autistic people aren't the only ones capable of attacking cops. Nice try, though.Tidus53 said:Is she autistic?
If my kid is being a real pain in the ass, hell yeah, I'd leave them locked in the room.Flos said:I'm fairly interested in hearing the alternatives the mother had. Let the child win and lose more ground is clearly an option, as is beating the child herself. How would you deal with a ten year old throwing a violent tantrum in your home? Let's assume talking her down doesn't work (remember, she snapped over a shower), and she's throwing things and threatening you. Do you harm her to get her to stop? Slam her in her room where she could possibly self-harm? Let her continue the tantrum and be the genuinely spineless mess you are?
Or do you call the police to prevent further harm to both parties and give them permission to use whatever force necessary when things have clearly escalated?
Agreed. If you kick a cop in the crotch, that's assault. Period.Malcheior Sveth said:Well seeing as how she was actually being taken in to custody and is being charged, they had every right to subdue her such that they could do their job. Someone's age should never give them special privileges.
The Officer did not wish to accidently break her hands or arms when attempting to subdue her, which would be quite easy considering she is a 10 year old girls, electricity in a short burst is probably slightly safer. lolteisjm said:First of all: what kind of retarded parents calls the police when their unruly child won't showe rand go to bed?
second of all: what kind of retarded police stations answers such a call.
and last but not least, how's an officer gonna be able to handle criminals if he/she cannot handle a 10 year old girl without tasing her.
This is indeed a victory for stupidity.
You sir have good choice in words, lol.thiosk said:Zap the little antichrist.
The cop will not be fired, when you call the police how they act in restraining a criminal is the cop's disgression, plus the cop was incompetent, if the girl got ahold of a knife then the child would be a huge danger to everyone, and he also did not want to break her arm or hands with restraining her.MaxTheReaper said:The mother should have her parenting license taken away.knight of some random number said:So to counter this her own mother called the police.
Next.
The mother should be arrested for being a stupid *****.knight of some random number said:When the police arrived, the girl's mother give one of the men permission to use his taser on the girl if he really needed to.
Next.
The police officer should be fired for being an incompetent fuck.knight of some random number said:the police man couldn't restrain her. She even went as far as kicking him in the groin.
The girl should be arrested for assaulting an officer of the law (incompetent fuck though he is.)
Next.
The police officer should be arrested for his complete fucking incompetence.knight of some random number said:It was at this point, the officer delivered a quick stun to her back by using his taser.
Then fired.
Done.
Okay. the notion that a cop can't subdue a suspect without breaking arms is just stupid. yes, they're trained to subdue physically capable suspects, but their muscles aren't permanently in destructo-mode. i mean, they *are* capable of touching things without crushing them with their superhuman strengthPyro Paul said:those that fear hurting the girl.Maze1125 said:Yes.Ultratwinkie said:they will be taken down with all the force needed.
And this was a ten year old girl.
What kind of police officer needs a stun gun to take down a ten year old girl?
an officer is ten fold more likely to dislocate arms, snap bones, or cause massive physical trama to a pre-teen individual. after all they are trained to over power and force into submission Grown Male Adults. the taser was more than likely the safest solution considering the circimstances.
