I'm not seeing it from your point of view because I'm not taking a drug trafficker at her word. You apparently are. The police officer said that the child and another adult were interfering in the arrest, that's enough to justify a taser.

If you don't want to be tased, don't screw with the police. It really is that simple. That's truth no matter what color you are.

LOL dude thinks it's okay for a kid of any age to get tasered. You're an idiot, and you probably are a shitty attorney, too.

So very likely.

You sound ridiculous.

Oooooooookay...back to more important things:

I can see that you believe a child should not be tasered. Do you think there are extenuating circumstances? People earlier in this thread mentioned young people with weapons.

I never said that.

Reading comp fail.

Even the individual you're being a cheerleader for thinks you're going too far.

Actually, Iota Man is correct. You believe that there are factors that matter more than (or as much as) age. That can be inferred to mean that you believe that a person of practically any age can be tasered if the situation warrants it. Afterall, you stated that "any child of mine would be respectful enough of authority not to interject themselves into my arrest which would never happen. This isn't rocket science. If you don't want to be tased, don't screw with the police. It really is that simple."

Iota Man is responding to someone who he believes is a racist, arrogant, idiot. That happened before this thread and has nothing to do with me.

It can be inferred that I would support the tasering of a 6-year old not carrying a bazooka? Yeah..okay.. If he thinks that, I stand by my reading com fail statement.

Sure thing. See page 1. That's not all that hard to read into.

If whether or not the child of ages 6-16 is brandishing a weapon (children younger than 6 can carry a handgun) is the ultimate determinant, Iota Man is correct that you believe a child of practically any age can be tasered if deemed necessary.

What does Iota Man have to do with page 1 of this thread? He labeled you a racist idiot because of the Andre Turner thread. I just labeled you an idiot.

In your imagination, what happened on page 1 of this thread? Nevermind, you still do not know. LOL.

If a weapon is involved that's endangering somebody's life, that's a different situation.

You don't know what I've seen.

You've certainly not had enough contact with law enforcement to understand that officers are going to place their safety #1 and that they should. One mistake can land an officer in the morgue. An officer would be foolish not to go into an arrest with someone with a record like the suspect here and not deploy a greater degree of force in order to keep control over the situation.

So either you're sheltered and have no realistic idea as to how badly the criminal subset can behave when confronted with folks in positions of authority or you tend to side with criminals over law enforcement because you have some sort of problem with authority. Either way.
