11 Y.O. boy tazered as 'last resort!'

News article

So at a Elementary School, an 11year old boy who was caught physically assaulting a young girl, was tazered (twice) because he didn't adhere to the officers orders. First tazer was to break the fight, and the second tazer when the boy got back up to go after the girl again.

The two mothers had both a pro & con of the situation, and I'm for the pro of this issue. If a student is out of control, the safest method to subdue a young boy without any additional physical means would be to use a taser. I'm sure if it was your child who was getting physically assaulted, you would want the best treatment to resolve it.it's harmless to the kids, just puts them through a adrenaline rush afterwards.

What are your thoughts?

I have no problems with that...all though I would think a cop would be able to subdue an 11 year old without a taser >_>Darth-Caedus

Cant that give him like a heart attack or something? :?Tauruslink

If they have to break up a fight and the aggressor isn't letting up then yeah, they should use whatever non-lethal means they need to in order to subdue the kid. That said I find it a bit odd that a police officer couldn't subdue an 11 year old. This reminds me of the story last month where two policemen shot a chihuahua three times with a 9mm pistol because it was "out of control".

Subduing an 11 year old shouldn't be that difficult. :?

At 11 the girls are actually bigger than the boys on average so the "logic" (for lack of a better word) behind the social rule of "don't hit a girl" doesn't really apply at that age.

I don't see how it was a last resort? Can you not seriously subdue an 11 yr old boy? What is with all these cops who cannot subdue these people who are small and or young/old?

6 ft 11 year olds? Many?? Your exagerating, i've never seen a 11 year old that tall.

Why are so many people getting tazered?

It's like they went all Pikachu on everyone.

Its hard to be a cop these days. You cant even do your job because some teacher will make it a race issue. Who knows what kind of unwarented trouble the officer wouldve been in if he laid his hands on hime. People are so sue happy these days. Its sickening.

I remember there was a story about a girl with epilepsy got tazered and left a nasty scar on her head, took 10+ stitches to sew it back up...

I think the debate is still on whether or not a tazer is really the best way to subdue anyone without causing unnecessary physical damage, at least the last time I checked...

That'll teach that punk kid a lesson. Who does he think he is beating up on a girl?? They should've let her have a freebie kick to his ****s to really teach him a lesson.

I have a very poor outlook on generally all cops, for the most part they are all roid raging jackasses that get their kicks out of abusing the people they "protect". If the parents would've been doing their job from the get-go and whipped the holy hell out of this kid, I'm highly doubting this kind of crap would happen in the first place. My family put the fear in my at a very early age and I could've forseen horrible circumstances for doing something as stupid as this kid. This day and age people are so damn weak minded that they won't even discipline any bad behavior for fear of another moron watching them and ratting them out. Yes I'm talking to you all the ones who would report an assault for seeing a child being spanked and disciplined...

The kid deserved it. The fact that he went back to attack her AFTER the first shot shows how badly it was needed. Whether he was attacking a girl, a boy or a damn rabbit, it's never okay to assault somebody.

It's her fault for acting up.

[QUOTE="THE_BRUTALIZER"] I guess if the kid has a rare medical problem, but a dude was beating on a girl. 11 or not, thats not cool.THE_BRUTALIZER

Girls are usually around 5'+ by age 11. Boys are only just beginning puberty at that age. They don't overtake girls in physical size until around 14.

I personally think the adage that a male shouldn't hit a female is incredibly stupid. Hitting anyone is wrong, gender doesn't matter at all. Likewise, just because you're a girl doesn't mean I won't respond in kind if you hit me.

I call BS. The last resort isn't to tazer a dude. The last resort is to blow his freaking head off.

No way should a tazer be what they go for in cases like these. I mean the kid is 11 and they are full grown adults trained to fight actual criminals. By all means cops need to grab them and assess the situation without shooting them up with electricity.

Police are getting more violent everyday... Just yesterday I was at the Dominican pride and some guy smacked a girl a cop built like a brick ****house jumped out of his car grabbed the kid who was looked like a stick by the neck lifted him up the air and slammed him into the ground then threw him self on top of him putting his elbow on his back while cuffing him, This cop AT LEAST had 50 pounds on the poor kid it happened right at my feet I swear I almost kicked that cop in the face. >.>

Couldn't he have just pulled the kid away?

LOL at people pulling the race card while accusing others of potentially pulling it.

I guess in this case the person deserved to be tazered but shouldn't cops be big enough to restrain an 11 year old without resorting to the use of a tazer?

But I find tasering the kid to be a little weak. It's not okay to beat on a girl but it's okay to tase a kid?:? I'm sure the cop could have broken up the fight by pulling the kid away from the girl.:?

[QUOTE="cowboymonkey21"]

[QUOTE="THE_BRUTALIZER"] Maybe he was trying to teach the kid a lesson. If you just pull a consistent bully from another victim and tell him to stop, or maybe give him detention, he's not gonna stop. I mean really. However, if you give him a chance, then shock his ass with 1.21 jiggawatts (lol) then chances are he's not gonna mess around like that anymore.THE_BRUTALIZER

Well I find it hard to believe that a police officer can't restrain an 11 year old boy...but I wasn't there.Cops have to make a lot of difficult decisions.
