Whatever. Looking at the mother's record, I'm not buying the mother's story, nor the daughters. If you interfere with a police officer and only get the tazer and no criminal charges, that's a good day.

I can understand a CHILD crying and being frantic if a parent is being (what the child may perceive as) randomly arrested at the mall. The 12-year-old CHILD was the only person tasered.
Controlling for her mother's traffic warrants, perhaps you would view tasering a 12 year old child differently if she looked like this 12 year old girl:

Nope and what a classless move to even suggest as much.
I don't care how old the child was. If she was not obeying lawful orders and the officer followed appropriate procedures for escalation of force, that's all I care about. Ultimately, what the officer did prevented all involved from escalating the violence any further and much to my surprise, only the mother went to jail that day. It sounds like the officer used a lot of discretion in not charging the other individuals who were interfering.
From the story, apparently another adult was also engaged in the resistance. This felon-mother wasn't going away quietly.

You should have stuck with "no" and left out the "classless" edit. You would not be the first person whose opinions are shaped by appearance.

If I did not think the words "class," "classy," and "classless," were really stupid when not dealing with social class and socioeconomic status, I would say that it is "classless" for you to believe that a child of any age should be tased.

My first edit was a lot more crass. What you implied there was a jackass thing to imply.

I'm sure the officer would have loved to hear you lecture him about class and white privilege and such while he was effecting an arrest on a felon with her 12-year old and other adults interfering in the arrest.
If you don't pay your tickets, you go to the pokey. You resist a police officer, you get hurt. Actions have consequences and stupidity knows no race or class.

You completely missed what I was saying in that post. Completely. That is okay because you have confirmed why I stand behind my other post 100%.

Looks to me like this child might have seen her mother arrested on a couple of other occasions...

Every reputable news source that I found states "traffic tickets." There are some ignorant forums that state "drug trafficking." If you can find news sources that confirm that it is drug trafficking, please post the links.
That does not mean that a 12 year old child should be tasered but I do like to have the correct facts.
