26. Why should she ignore you? Why should she not express herself?

Answer that, please. She is a DUer, and can respond to your posts, just as I can.

I happen to agree with her.

Anything you post can be disagreed with by anyone else. And will be, no doubt. You don't get to tell people that they shouldn't disagree with you.

11-Year-Old Girl Shot With Taser for Shoplifting [View all] Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Aug 2018 OP

So a cop shot an 11-year-old girl in the back dalton99a Aug 2018 #1

So ... he was afraid for his life? Damn, wish these places would get rid of the thug cops uponit7771 Aug 2018 #2

Per the link, cop didn't say he feared for his life, OP did. Shrike47 Aug 2018 #3

Hence the sarcasm emoticon after the text Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin Aug 2018 #4

Per the OP, use of sarcasm gif indicates the statement was, well... sarcasm. LanternWaste Aug 2018 #5

Oh, well, in that case, this is hardly news.... MrsCoffee Aug 2018 #19

Department Policy Prohibits this but she shouldn't have been shoplifting. bitterross Aug 2018 #6

Even if she did shoplift he shouldnt have tased an 11 year old Fullduplexxx Aug 2018 #7

I disagree. Why shouldn't he use non-lethal to stop her? She doesn't get pass for being 11. bitterross Aug 2018 #9

Tasers are not always non-lethal... GReedDiamond Aug 2018 #10

The manufacturer markets them as non lethal but they are far from it FL_Jerry Aug 2018 #11

No dude his job was to de-escalate not go robocop Fullduplexxx Aug 2018 #12

You don't de-esclate shoplifting. It wasn't a stand-off bitterross Aug 2018 #13

Good grief. It's a shame so many people don't like blaming victims, huh? kcr Aug 2018 #14

She wouldn't be a fucking victim if she didn't break the law. bitterross Aug 2018 #23

So, now she's been reduced to being a "fucking victim?" MineralMan Aug 2018 #27

Actually, no. She's not a victim. She's a criminal. bitterross Aug 2018 #29

Nope. You are incorrect. MineralMan Aug 2018 #33

She does bear responsibility and she will go to jail for shoplifting Fullduplexxx Aug 2018 #15

Your cynicism is palpable. MineralMan Aug 2018 #25

I am in tech support. Not law enforcement. bitterross Aug 2018 #30

I agree. Kotya Aug 2018 #28

Nvm. SweetieD Aug 2018 #16

That does not mean that we give free rein to 11 year-olds just because they are 11. Fullduplexxx Aug 2018 #17

She does get a pass for being 11 treestar Aug 2018 #18

Your post disgusts me more than I can type. MrsCoffee Aug 2018 #20

Feel free to use the ignore feature. bitterross Aug 2018 #24

Why should she ignore you? Why should she not express herself? MineralMan Aug 2018 #26

I made a suggestion that could lessen her disgust. bitterross Aug 2018 #34

Well, your suggestion would certainly prevent her from telling you MineralMan Aug 2018 #36

If you think you know what I am thinking, please proceed. bitterross Aug 2018 #38

Are tasers even tested for young kids? gollygee Aug 2018 #21

keep digging. spanone Aug 2018 #22

Actually d_r Aug 2018 #35

And when they say halt or stop, aka-chmeee Aug 2018 #8

Tasers are "less lethal," NOT non-lethal. Even the company warns of risk of death tblue37 Aug 2018 #39

Here is the relevant law exboyfil Aug 2018 #31

Mayor wants to raise the age from 7 to 12. Is that better? bitterross Aug 2018 #32

Maybe we could wait until they have adult-sized bodies anyway gollygee Aug 2018 #37
