12-year-old tased by police officer

[justgo_withit]

HP says (the officer says) the girl and an "unidentified female" charged at him. A 30 second google search says that tasers are not super accurate. If the officer's report is true, then he may have not been aiming for the child, he was just acting in self defense. Or he's a racist pig and he enjoys torturing children in his spare time. Since none of us were there, we have no way of knowing what went down between the sensationalist, i-love-getting-upset-at-things extremes of ZOMG HE TASERED A CHILD and the police-talk report. Like what constitutes "physically interfering"? What happened between the officer trying to arrest the woman and taser time? I have no idea and both sides are going to manipulate the truth in their favor, intentionally or unintentionally.

He tasered a 12 year old child. There is nothing sensationalist or I-love-getting-upset-at-things about that FACT. There is perhaps something extreme about tasering a child and that is what this thread discussion is about.
