I take it you were there. If not what do you know? If nothing than don’t pass any judgment yet. Kids are capable of just about anything.

Not sure how she was behaving, but she’s not big. I saw a pic of her with her mom. Her mom is gigantic but the girl looks like typical 11 year old.

I completely agree. So the cop used a Taser? As I and many others have pointed out this was a safe and effective way to control a bad situation.

Wasted doesn’t seem capable of comprehending. Coaster? A newbie troll.

You can stop them but no need for violence or deadly force over the smallest crime.

Kid shoplifting is less of an offense than a speeding ticket. Nobody’s life or health is at risk from shoplifting

"Any boot lickers going to try to say this was a good thing?"

It depends on how big the 11 year old was as compared to the cop. Was she a Michael Brown sized 11 year old? Some 11 year old kids look like they're 18.

"Cincinnati police guidelines, officers "should avoid using the TASER on obviously pregnant females and those individuals under the age of 7 or over the age of 70."

The kid was within the age guidelines of the City. Was she a pregnant 11 year old?

NOPE!

The 11-year-old, Donesha Gowdy, told WLWT she was stealing a pop, bag of chips and some candy when she ignored the officer’s request to stop, then she felt the Taser barbs in her back.

“I fell and I started shaking and I turned around and I was shaking,” Gowdy said.

Donna Gowdy told WLWT what her daughter did was wrong but the officer needs to be held accountable for his actions as well.

“The officer, he needs to be punished. I need justice from him. He was wrong,” Gowdy said.

PS: Police guidelines in Cincinnati are that taser use is ok above 7 years of age.

What a perfect gif.

That girl looks about 11 years old. And that man could be the cop that many Freepers here want him to do about her shoplifting.

Link: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2018/08/07/cincinnati-police-deploy-taser-11-year-old-shoplifter/929492002/ "Generally with anyone under the age of 12, we want law enforcement to discuss charges with us," Deters said. "That was not done in this case." Mayor John Cranley also weighed in, releasing a statement that reads: Tasing an 11-year old who posed no danger to the police is wrong. I'm sorry for the harm done to her and her family. This evening I called and asked Prosecutor Deters to drop charges against the girl. I'm happy to report that he did and I thank him for doing so.

” “according to cops” is assurance of nothing.”

“according to ANYONE” is assurance of nothing.

We weren’t there.
