Well, I bet it taught that little brat a lesson!

Just Kidding!
I really feel for the folks in law enforcement these days that have to respond to domestic calls. They don’t issue family jewel cups do they these days? They may have to.
Danged if you do, danged if you don’t.
I have never been a fan of tasers, but if I had to choose between that and a baton or firearm, .. I’d just comply with the instructions of the officer.
Your assertion that a marriage to a woman who has the police tazer a 10 year old broke up because of the man comes from where, exactly?
Not being able to keep a marriage going twith someone like that has zero rellevance to his love for his child.
There is a large segment of the population of the USA that is truly f****d up. Probably considerable overlap with that segment that votes for a living rather than works for a living.
From the Fox News link:Bradshaw carried the girl to the living room and told her she was going to jail, according to the report. The girl was violently kicking, the report said, and struck Bradshaw in the groin with her legs and feet.
Yeah. That would calm an hysterical 10 year old.
If they knew what it took to control the child, they should have done it themselves.
Obviously the parents didn't know what it took, but they certainly knew what it didn't take.
Could a spanking have helped the child to understand that bad behavior has consequences?
She certainly hasn't learned anything about respecting authority with the parents going after the police.
Parenting classes are in order for the parents and maybe they ought to put their own agenda aside and be unified in their love, support and discipline of the child.
“If you can’t pick the kid up and take her to your car, handcuff her, then I don’t think you need to be an officer,” Medlock said.
Well, I say, “If you can’t pick the kid up, pop their rear end and send them to their room, then I don’t think you should be a parent.”

It isn't the "parentS" finding fault with the police; it is the FATHER, who was not present when the mother called the police. We don't know whether or not the father was helpless to control the situation; he apparently wasn't given the opportunity. And the father is certainly not taking any glee in the situation, but outrage over the fact that an adult male with police training could not manage to get a ten-year-old little girl under control without resorting to the use of a taser.
There is no mention anywhere in the article that the mother who called the police has voiced any criticism of the policeman's use of the taser. In fact, according to the article, she told the officer to use his taser if he needed to. So your basic premise about this being an example of "parents to find fault with authority that they have called in to control a situation that they are helpless to control" seems to lack any basis whatsoever in fact.

Just call Super Nanny. She'll put the girl on the naughty-step... LOL ...
Eggggssssss - zactly.
I picked up on that right away. Real easy for daddy - WHO IS NOT IN THE HOME - to be crying about how they tasered his baby.
A ten year old girl?? The cop is a wuss. A girly man. This is a fourth grade kid. More and more I”m seeing cops use the taser before their brains kick in. Jackboots. sd
The kid has serious problems. Either she is insanely violent and uncontrolable to the point of the mom having to call the police or the kid is in the custody of an evil witch who torments the kid into hysteria and likes seeing the police torture her child. She egged the cop on to torture her own child. Or it could be the kids is so insane that she can not be controled by normal measures.
If the kid is insane, she needs to to go a treatment facility for the mentally ill. If the mom is wacked, the dad needs to take the kid away from her and get the kid treatment.
