He said if the officer tried to forcefully put the girl in handcuffs, he could have accidentally broken her arm or leg.

I wonder what some of the reactions would be if the headlines read "Police breaks ten year old's arm." Chances are he couldn't subdue physically without actually hurting her as most restraining locks I know of can do serious damage if fought too hard because they put large amounts of stress on the joints.
(Though I have a whole other rant on proper/over-use tazers but that's another post)
Anyways +5 for stupidity
+3 Mom for 2 being a crappy parent 1 for calling the police for a tantrum
+1 Girl for being such a crying bastard and being belligerent
+1 Police for actually tazing the girl (justified or not it's still not a good idea)

Hahahahahahahahaha, aha, ha, har.
Now that's out of the way
Logically, he did restrain her, it just involved more electricity than would be suspected. Honestly, the mother gave permission? What cop, when responding to such a dumb call, asks,
"Can i taze her?"
The police are trained to handle dangerous criminals, not rebellious children, it's the equivalent of using the military to do police, they freak and shoot people.
He should never have been there anyway.
Also, don't kick a copper in the nuts. Ever.

I bet she a was sore afterwards.
The kid was obviously not set boundaries as a baby, her mum gave her what she wanted for so long and gave in so easily cos it's easier than telling your child off, that all the kid had to do was throw a tantrum and she gets what she wants, then to take it to the next level of bad parenting she calls the cops to do what she can't.
She either needs parenting classes or to have the brat taken away from her till she can control any kind of behavior.
She didn't deserve it, if your used to get your own way all the time then somebody tells you to do something you don't want to do, then tries to put you into handcuffs (thinking as a child) your going to rebel, she may have taken it a bit far but if any body should have been zapped it should have been the mum.

It's an intriguing moral dilemma. On the one hand, you have a rambunctious little shit the parents can't handle. On the other, shitty parents that had to call the cops to avoid charges of child abuse.
As the child, I would say being tazed was inappropriate under any circumstance.
As the parent, I would say being tazed was appropriate punishment for fighting with police.
As the police, I would say tazing the kid is the last option for a reason. If my authority isn't enough to instill proper behavior, this kid doesn't deserve to be a part of society. Taze the little snot, cuff her, and take her to jail. File a report, and let Social Services take care of the rest.
I certainly agree that the failure begins with the parents, but we are in absolutely no position to condemn the cop for doing his job. I have little doubt the tazer came out before it was necessary, and fighting a cop deserves jail time - 10 year old or no.

Let's see...
The mother's a horrible person for giving someone permission to taser her child, the child's the Ur-Example of a spoiled brat and shouldn't have been behaving that way in the first place, and the police officer should not have tased the girl PERIOD, I don't care if she throws excrement in your face and insults your mother, she's a child, and children should at least have some protection against the 'tase-all-that-could-be-said-to-have-resisted' rule.
EDIT- ONE exception though and only one. IF and only if the police officer's life is in actual danger, then the police officer should protect himself using the safest method available. I don't think tasing counts, though.

Exactly what I was thinking...Machines Are Us said:
I mean aren't most police trained in some sort of crowd control for violent riots of grown adults with melee and projectile weaponry?
So how exactly does a 10 year old girl overcome a what I assume from the "Groin kick" portion was a grown man?
Although saying that I blame all people involved.
The mother for being what seems like a poor mother.
The policeman fo using his taser, permission or not, there's really no such thing as a non-lethal shot with a taser, especially to a child.
Those things can have lasting affects on the nervous system, being shot by one at a young age would more than likely highten the risk.
The Girl for being an "unruly" fuckwad.
And again the policeman who is TRAINED to keep his cool in a situation and show a much larger amount of restraint then is shown in this overview of the article.
Kick to the nads or not, he's professionally obliged to remain the bigger man of the situation.
Thats pretty messed up, the mom's probably a nazi or something
And i'm sure she felt no regret when they tazed her 10 year old child for not taking a shower

I guess the taser was a bit much, but in that situation, I'm not sure what other choices the police officer might have had. At any rate, I don't think the tasering itself is what we should be concerned with. The real issue here is that the child was disturbed enough to make such action necessary, and that the parents were so disinterested in their child's wellbeing that they let the situation come this far in the first place.
Man, this sounds like something you'd hear on South Park. World gets weirder every day.

Right on... if you can't restrain a 90 pound kid, how are you on a police force?Machines Are Us said:
I blame the mother, and any mental conditions the child might have.
Now i'm pretty sure that the cop could have restrained a 10 year old without a taser, but depending on how bat-shit-crazy she was going, tasing her might be the better option for her own safety. It might hurt like a ***** but its over in an instant and she'll be fine.
In general tough, corporeal punishment isn't the way to go.
