Taser use prompts talk of policy
Cary case stokes discussion of uniform standards governing police on school campuses.

Still does not justify its use.
A tazer according to the FBI is less-lethal, not non-lethal and it falls just under firearms on the use of force continuum.
Also two cops could not handle a school yard fight?
Come on...
What the hell are these two cops gonna do if they ever have to patrol a real neighborhood and apprehend someone who is a true criminal?
Yeah, they’ll just shoot them regardless if they are armed or not...
I wonder... before the days of the easy Taser solution... how cops handled unruly children.
There doesn’t seem to be any evidence of an epidemic of pepper-sprayed children. So maybe cops understood how to put a high-schooler down without resorting to pepper-spray, Tasers, or guns?
Makes one go ‘hmmmm’.
A Jamaican pattie? Did the cops know what’s in those things? The kid was doing a public service by keeping someone else from ingesting it.
The FBI doesn’t write use of force policy for all police departments, troll. A drive stun is on the level of pepper spray in most agencies. Further, it is below hard hand control, and the police do not have to coddle violently resisting criminals.
I’m glad this didn’t happen in Washington they would had shot him! Reason He was trying to hit them with a tray!
A 17 year old thug is not a little child. Further, fighting hand to hand with someone can often cause far more injuries than the mild discomfort caused by a taser.
No... they just investigate the police when they violate our civil rights and they apply the standard continuum they developed to "justify" the use of a tazer.
So if they say it is to be used as a last resort to firearms, and they are the ones that will be coming in to investigate you and your ilk once the civil rights violation complaint has been filed by my attorney then you might better consider the consequences before you act.
...
ASP baton
PR-24 side handle baton
OC spray
Taser pistol
Taser 12 gauge round
Non lethal force .....but like a good mechanic you have to know what tool to use an why....
ASP is what most pack in my area ....
Yep. The headline could, just as easily, been inaccurately worded "Student stunned with Taser by police after allegedly crying out during his birth".
Stealing from the school cafeteria didn't have anything to do with him being tasered.
Yes it did, it was the event that sparked police intervention. You logic here is like saying "Radical Islam and its preachings" had nothing to do with the war in Afghanistan...
There is people on FreeRepublic who hate cops as part of the “establishment” and there are those who believe they’re heroes of freedom.
Then there are those who believe they are overworked joes who often have to make painful decisions in a very short amount of time.
I thought you didn’t speak to or call the police for any reason. The FBI are federal police. Further your understanding of both the FBIs use of force policy, and the reasonableness standard that is applied to all use of force by police is sadly lacking. Finally, troll... why would the police be tasing you for any reason? Are you planning on committing a criminal act and violently resisting arrest? Well considering your copyright infringement... perhaps you are?
So stealing is ok in some circumstances? As in a high school cafeteria? What other places are ok to steal from? Your home? Intellectual property?
You make excellent points. I would only add that the “establishment” talk is very common among hippies and other 60s radicals.
