...drinking alcohol and smoking cigars about 11 a.m. Nelson said he noticed the girl was intoxicated and told her to get dressed so he could take her back to school.

As I said, who knows what a drunken, cigar-smoking 12-year-old is going to do next.

He was taking her back to school. That was his intent. She then began to flee across a busy intersection.

In conclusion I'll just say the guy is an unfit girlie-man cop that needs his butt booted off the force.

Everyone in this thread is missing the point.

I think it should be obvious by now that there is no better way to teach children of any age the wonders of D.C. current.

This is what a spark plug feels like ping.

I think you've got it. The cop knew the girl had Science class at 11:00.

When she chose to break free and run away, he gave her the Science lesson for the day: Effects of 50,000 volts DC on a drunk, cigar-smoking, 12-year-old truant who's running away from a police officer into traffic.

so, there's nothing odd about a grown man needing a weapon in order to subdue a 6 year old holding a piece of broken glass?

friend, you need to look at the temperature of the water in the pot where you sit.

Had the drunk 12-year-old been hit by a car or the glass-wielding 6-year-old slashed himself, these very same people would be griping that the police were at fault for failing to taser them when they should have.

Kree, Jaffa!

The police are crazy. They should have used these. :)

Typically, a news re-write takes place to eliminate unfounded opinion. Having deleted the original claims made by the officer relating to a 'drunk' 'cigar smoking' child of 11 years, the newspaper has mitigated its responsibility for the distribution of an obvious self-serving slanderous claim by a man who is unfit to wear a badge. This in turn is a notice to readers that there is no longer a foundation for claims having no foundation in fact.

I will just shake my head and move on.
Grateful that this is not an issue in my community... yet.

And, friend, you need to consider to what extent juvenile delinquency has become epidemic.

I am of the generation for whom pimp and slut weren't on the list of things kids wanted to be when they grew up.

IT all takes time.
