...it's pretty clear the police have a policy of using violence as a means of conflict resolution,'' said Max Rameau, of the Worker's Center, a frequent police critic.

The anti-police, law and order crowd starts crawling out of the woodwork.

I'm still wondering what the delinquent's father has to say about this. The mother wails about this shouldn't happen to other children, but if she had kept tabs on hers the cop wouldn't now be the source of ridicule by the anti-law and order gaggle.

I'll bet the little drunk, cigar smoking "girl" wanted to be a police officer.

Sure, and the girl surely couldn't have been cursing and kicking and clawing and biting the officer. Surely, she had permission from mama to skip school. Next time she might see a gun pointed at her rather than a mere taser and then what will mama say?

Didn't the original article say the girl was drunk and about to run into traffic?

Mama sounds ticked that she could've sued the department for more cash if the little girl had been allowed to run into the street and get flattened. "no intention of arresting her" You run from the cops, that's probable cause, no?

A few years ago, a man in Durham was home with a sick child. He heard noises in his garage, and investigated. He found a gang of teens burglarizing his home, and he got his gun. When one came toward him in a threatening manner, he opened fire with his weapon and one of the teens was killed. When the man was charged with the shooting, the local minority community claimed that this kid was good, and was a model student. The question was "If he was so good, and was such a model student, why did he and his buddies skip school and burglarize homes?" The man was acquitted for the shooting.

Thank God for that verdict.

The way things are moving in the USA it won't be long until we'll be in the same boat as those who attempt to defend property and life in the UK: they get sent to prison and the perp walks.

She says she wanted to grow up to be a Police officer?? Sounds to me like she was praticing to be a B-girl at some bar.

Or, considering the cigar, an intern in a DemocRAT White House, or perhaps a greeter in Little Rock at the Clinton Library and Massage Parlor.

Let's see, 50,000 volts and she recovers intact VS becoming a hood ornament or maybe dead.

A six year old a a glass shard threatening to slice himself (which he had already done, now holding people at bay.

What's an officer to do?

ZZZZAAAAAPPPPPPP!!! Result = attitude adjustment.

It isn't the taser, this is all about $$$$$$$. Watch the lawyers line up. Good thing the RIGHT is on the way to the top in this country. It's time to make changes - the age of liberal (bad guy good/ Good guy bad) is about to come to an end.

>> Miami-Dade police officer William Nelson caught Rojas' daughter skipping school on Nov. 5. When the unarmed girl ran from Nelson, he chased her through a parking lot, then zapped her with the stun gun when she ran into traffic, according to his report. <<

So, you think police should tazer kids skipping school?

Only a complete wuss with an attitude would taser an unarmed and running 12 year old girl. Any man that's ever had a 12 year old daughter knows that. This cop probably tasered her because he was scared. I'd rather not have a cop around that's scared of 12 year old girls because he might get hurt.

Gimme a break.

Sure...think of it as a remote paddling at 20 feet

(though I have a problem with the girl getting tazered in the middle of traffic, if the story details are to be believed!)

Typical Herald spinning story, little emphasis on a drunken

school-skipping-teen running into traffic and an officer

with a spit-second decision to make of letting her get hit

by a car or saving her life. The officer chooses to save her

life. When I wrote for the Herald this story might have told

both sides, but not today.

Sounds to me like both these two little children were screaming for Discipline that their parents were long overdue in delivering.

You're right. The Herald is a rag in the same vein as the L.A. Times. It's amazing though in reading through the liberal articles that a grain of truth manages to creep in between the lines.

Oh, I bet she could narrow it down to 5 or 6 probables.
