12 Year-Old Girl Tased Inside Victoria Secrets

A police officer tased a 12-year-old girl inside a Victoria's Secret Wednesday afternoon at South County Center.

Police say the officer came into the Victoria's Secret looking for the teenager's mom, who had warrants for her arrest. But it was the teen who got tased.

"This one goes in my chest. It was stuck in there so she had to keep on pulling trying to pull it out," said Dejamon Baker, as she pointed to a small wound on her chest.

It’s “Victoria’s Secret” not “Victoria Secrets.” Journalists....

Thank goodness the police officer was able to go home safely after the confrontation with a 12 year old girl. Tasers save lives.

"You had warrants out, why should we believe what you're saying?"

Given you're stupid why should be employed as a reporter? Given the nature of law enforcement do you believe what the cops told you?

Thank goodness for the taser, otherwise he might have shot her. Were are they getting these police recruits and how are they evaluating them? Not to mention that their training seems to be missing a lot.

As retired police officers, if I couldn’t handle a 12 year old without a taser, I would have turned in my badge.

They do have normal bras and such - not just the “sexy” lingerie. Several of my daughters have trouble finding bras that fit and aren’t $50+ - however, VS stocks sizes that fit them in their T-shirt bra selection.

LOL!

For some reason that reminded me of an old joke:

A priest books into a hotel and says to the hotel clerk “I hope the porn in my room is disabled.” Clerk replies “no it’s regular porn you sick bastard ...

I think the store’s surveillance cameras would make quick work of any internal affairs investigation into this case. Depending upon how many family members were in the store at the time, and the girls’ emotions I could see the officer feeling overwhelmed easily as well.

I’m glad the 12-yo wasn’t seriously injured though. It seems there should have been some alternative to tasering just for the _child’s_ own safety. IF it turns out the girl did NOT get involved physically then I hope this officer is retrained or something. Did he have backup when attempting to arrest this woman, or did he walk into a situation he really COULDN’T have kept under control without the use of what sometimes results in DEADLY force??? (You don’t know who may have an underlying heart condition so unless you are definitely trying to save someone’s life I’d think you would try to use it a little less often - especially on a child.)

Yes, journalists....

the officer came into the Victoria's Secret looking for the teenager's mom, who had warrants for her arrest.

Evidently things have changed.

When I was growing up, you weren't considered a teenager until your thirteenth birthday.
