Reply #35: the BOY could have been badly hurt too.

[uncle ray]

i've seen a fair number of girls/women who could scrap with the best of em, even against a male of much greater size.

we don't know if this was a "fight" or a "beating". for all we know the girl may have been verbally or physically taunting the boy even in the principals office. she may have been beating up on him too but they only felt the boy was a threat because she is "just a girl". i could speculate that maybe she was one of the popular girls, taunting the giant weird kid until he had enough and they started fighting...bottom line is we just don't know.

would you want your daughter tazed if she was beating up a boy? i'm not asking if it's likely she'll be busted for fighting, i'm asking if it's okay to taze a 6th grade boy of large size, is it okay to taze a girl of the same age but petite size?


i understand the need to have weapons strong enough to subdue violent suspects. but i have a problem with the use of electric shock devices that have been proven deadly. it's just too easy to administer lethal amounts of force without much effort on the part of the officer.
