Any bets that she never shoplifts again?
Tough way to learn that actions have consequences, but for some people, that is the only way they get the message.
You’d feel better if they shot and killed her? Perhaps if they subdued her by breaking an arm or two?
America On Line?
Seriously?
Do they still exist?
So you were there and saw the whole thing, were you? You know, for a "fact" that the 11 year old wasn't trying to run away, kick or hit the cop, wasn't doing anything at all to deserve/warrant being tasered?
At 11 she is already scum.
Boot lickers; not hardly.
Twenty years ago, okay, maybe 30 years ago you wouldn’t have to go to extreme measures to stop a young person this age but everything is on the table now because these kids don’t act like they are much more than a feral wolverine. Some have zero discipline from their parents or anyone else. The best thing that could happen to them is going to juvenile jail for a while to wake them up; if they can be helped at all.
Don’t look at the age; look at the behavior and the safety of the officers on scene. They don’t want to hurt some idiot kid anymore than you do so tazing them is actually quite humane.
Depends on how violent she was being. If she was making herself a threat to herself or others it was probably a good call.
11 year olds aren’t opie taylor anymore
Have not yet read the article but my 1st thought was “There has to be more to the story.” Or was it just like Michael Brown “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot.”
If you go to local sources in the community....the cop was at some off-duty job location, which will beg for questions. The grocery (national brand) will probably have to pay off the mother of the kid. And it appears that locals have noted that this kid regularly (routine basis) steals from the grocery.
You can pause for about six years and go back to find this girl, and she’ll be in some jail-like situation.
Yeah, they should of shot her because of her overwhelming physical superiority.
Just trying to make the boot lickers happy!
Now she knows what life as a criminal is like.
Hopefully she will change her course.
If not, BZZZZZZZZZT!
“She’s traumatized for life, your Honor. She’s so scared of electricity now that she collapses into the fetal position at the sight of an electrical socket and becomes convulsive when a light bulb is turned on. We demand $10,000,000.”
I'd like to see a photograph of this "teen". Some of these "teens" (aka "youths", "youngsters", "teenagers") weigh over 200 pounds and are squeezing out babies by the age of 11. This is from the culture that gave us 30 year old grandmothers.
Looking at the genetics of some of the Walmart and McDonalds brawls on Youtube, I'd say there is a mighty good chance this little lady is actually a "big girl" with a foul, toxic mouth and a violent, unpredictable temper.
100 bucks she is a white girl.
looks like good shoot tome.
We do not know the circumstances. This may have been totally justified or totally unnecessary. We do not know.
Oddly tazing inflicts the minimal damage but incapacitates so the perp be it adult of non adult will submit to police orders. It is far better than a billy club upside ones head or 3 slugs to center mass.
The reason cops carry tazers is so they do not need to inflict real physical harm but still bring the perp under control.
The fact that cops carry tazers reduces the necessity of inflicting violent injury on a perp, so long as the perp is not a mortal threat. In a situation where a cop is in a struggle with a perp and does not have a tazer he is more inclined to use mortal force. More than one good cop has been killed when a perp got his weapon in a struggle.
I admire and support the good cops and they are the vast majority. Bad cops need to be prosecuted and they are few.
The vast majority of cops are good cops. This cop may be a good cop or a bad cop. We do not know the details.
ps
The good cops hate the bad cops.
You make a lot of assumptions for someone whomwasmt there and doesn’t have all the facts.
You could dial the ‘tude down a notch or two.
How tall is the girl and how much does she weigh?
