If we're keeping it that simple, then my opinion is yes it is ok to use a taser on a 12 year old who is interfering with a police officer making an arrest AS LONG AS he gave fair warning that he would tase her if she didn't stop. If he didn't warn her, then I reserve the right to change my opinion.
