14. What did they do before TASERS?
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 10:41 AM by Horse with no Name
A resource officer is generally trained by the Police Department (if not already an officer) to do what police officers do.
Do you mean that this police officer couldn't pull one person off of a child?
I understand this kid was 200 lbs., but seriously?
This stuff has always happened and sometimes the kids are bigger.
Can we just attribute it to the officers being afraid to get their uniforms dirty or wrinkled pulling someone off?
Because there really isn't any other reason. This boy wasn't armed.
Just sounds like he was out of control.
TASERS in school are a bad idea.
So you say that "if it were your daughter you would want them to use any means"?
What if your daughter pulls another girl's hair or something like that?
You approve of them using a TASER to make her stop?
We have to get out of this mentality that "someone has to protect me and mine 24/7, but leave my kids the fuck alone".
This boy has parents too and they probably aren't real thrilled about their kid being TASERED.
I watched Little House on the Prairie. Was one of my favorite shows growing up. Those kids fought too. I wonder how they ever survived without TASERS?
