I'd like to think that, but my experience is that it may have been a last resort or it may have been an over-reaction on the part of the police officer. It happens.

In my opinion, a taser should only be used on a 12-year-old as a true last resort and after a clear warning. Whether that happened here I can't tell from any of the news articles I've seen.
