Police taser 10 year old.

[Supreme Unleaded]

I would say that its the mothers fault, but if shit like this has been going on for years which im guessing it has then I'd be a bit worn thin too. Seriosly, that girl probably has more problems then the parent.

But yeah, using a tazer is a bit much, i mean seriosly. But I guess its still better then tear gas or using a real gun.

I think the tasering is punishment enough. Did he really have to arrest her as well?

'What are you in for?'

'Didn't want a shower before bed.'

It could kill her. They are not physically able to really take a shot from a tazer.

She didn't take a shot from a taser.

There are two shock delivery methods, and rather then shooting her - where the barbs embed themselves into the skin of the shock recipient, he used it like as stun gun, activating it, then pressing it against her momentarily to zap her. It says that in the article that it seems 90% of the responders didn't read.

What the article fails to mention is how violent the child may have gotten. The mother could have been in fear. What is to say she was not throwing things at the mother. Or the officer for that matter. The article says nothing other then violent, and a kick to the groin. While it does not say anything else was happening it does not say it didn't. Who is to know. I find that the more liberal rags in UK often make the US look poor, violent, and evil as a matter of course. Funny that the more conservative rags in the UK often do the exact opposite.

I side with this being reasonable.

I find it sad that there seems to only be a handful of people that have thought reasonably about this, and even more so that I come to expect it already from those that have.

Well I presumed it was not a taze gun but those handheld ones, I just didnt know what to describe it as. If she was swinging a large knife at them, maybe taze her. It should have been LAST resort short of using a real gun. They must have other less physical ways to subdue her. It still seems like incompetent cop and even more incompetent mother being idiots.

 

[Kiutu]

No, I'm not. If she had heart problems or if it was intentionally meant to kill it's not the taser's fault. They say not to tase someone known to have heart problems.

I mean in that you are defending tazing a 10 year old girl. And I would think young children would be in the "shouldnt taze" group.

She's not a young child. over half of her childhood is over. She is a pre-teen. Only people with illnesses that could cause death when tased should be in that group. Well, them and babies.

So they should risk havign all her life be over too? Have you seen a large full grown musclar man be tazed? Have you seen their reactions? Anything that does that to such a person I would NEVER think should be done to a child.

First, quote fail. Second, 1 Second =/= 10 seconds.

Oh well. Really, I am starting to think you are just a jerk. I do hope Im getting ahead of myself though and am mistaken. Feel free to prove me wrong.

 

[GrinningManiac]

From the sound of it, she was especially bratty and screamy

Normal screaming tantrum? Even giving your own kid a clot round the ear is a bit much, let alone a stranger tasering her under your permission

This? Yeah, she was being really stupid. I wouldn't be suprised if it turned out she had some kind of attention deficit disorder that caused this. Tasering a tantrum MUST be a special case

'What are you in for?'

'Didn't want a shower before bed.'

'What did you do?'

'I threw a puppy into traffic.'

'Oh.'

Legally, yes. Also, wow, you must post alot. Joined after me and you're ahead of me in posts.

Yes, my 360 got RROD and that was my only source of entertainment in this boring county of mine, but the lack of a console did lead me to this site so that's a plus!

 

[Skeleon]

Obviously, she needed to be taken down.
...
Seriously?
Are we really gonna have this discussion?
She's a friggin' 10 year old girl!
And she was laying on the floor.
She only kicked him when he tried to physically pick her up.
And what does he do? Shoot her in the back.

By the way, the mother is just as bad.

 

[Robert632]

If you can't contain a ten year old without a tazer you should be killed for fucking up are gene pool.

Now I'm not realy defending the police here but do you even know what a taser does to you. It seizez up your muscles for a short period of time, so what happens is you can't control them, then you fall over. IT DOES NO PERMINANT DAMAGE, unless you have some weird pre-existing condition, which im guessing no for the girl since the mother allowed it. Someones reaction to a taser is nothing, they get a shot of adrenalin yes and it does hurt, but its not going to kill you.

 

[ugeine]

A quick knockout zap is abuse? So, how many pillows do we need to wrap kids in?

Hang on, you DON'T consider rendering a child unconscious as abuse?

1. This stupid whore needs to learn how to be a parent
2. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAAAAAAAAAA HA

Where did I type 'abuse'? I havent ever been tazed. Have you? If you say you have then I will submit to your view. Either way, it still seems like an extreme overreaction by the mother and police. no tantrum is call for even police. She would have to be doing criminal activities and have a weapon or two before I could accept tazing her. Honestly, these cops just come off as wusses, kicked in crotch or not.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

Something I would have done. "Get in the shower now or I'll taser ya!". Whatever happened to kids obeying out of fear of their parents give them a smack or something.

Not after they break the law, and you're a cop.

So if you had a six year old that loitered in a 'no loitering' zone, the police should have full authority to knock them out?


You make Pol Pot seem like a liberal!

Nicer arguing with people with more facts, even if you proved me wrong. Still, the other guy was more on principle. I still think its wrong to do, but whatever. The other guy should be kept away from kids, but you proved me wrong. Congrats.
