It'd be funny to hear if your reactions change once you're a father, Nate. The same goes for all the parents here.
The facts speak for themselves: 4 foot 6, 65 lb, unarmed 10 year old girl vs a cop. A trained law enforcement officer.
Honestly, I hope each of you have a kid that gets tasered someday so you can feel the outrage that some of us here feel - and I don't even have a kid! I do have a foster brother who falls into the height/weight range specified even if he is 2 years older. He also has Ausbergers and a moderate form of autism. If he became violent for whatever reason, and he was unarmed, I hope to hell a solitary cop could subdue him without a taser. there'd be one hell of a lawsuit if he was tasered.
it's a f***in cop-out weapon - pun intended. The mother took the lazy way out (instead of properly parenting her child). The cop took the easy way out.
Given the fact that plenty of people have died because of these weapons, I'm surprised more of you aren't concerned about the possible developmental issues that such a trauma like that could possibly bring about. She's 10 years old. her parents are supposed to protect her, educate her and correct her. They're not supposed to offer her up to the cops as a sacrificial lamb for their amusement.
Nothing in the cop's report indicated he was incapacitated by the girl, nor does it say that he really actually tried to subdue her. One line from his report - "I had decided that there would not be a peaceful resolution to the issue".
That's before he attempts to subdue her and/or cuff her. So he had it all planned out before he really got started with her. He was able to carry her to the shower and then move her to the living room but couldn't subdue her without the aid of a taser?
C'mon fellas. This is bad, even for some of you to agree with. I'm beyond disappointed. And I'm done with it. It was wrong and it never should have come to that / never should have gone down like that, regardless of what the mother said.
