Florida Deputy Tasers 11 year old Student

There is more to this than meets the eye. The officer suffered from a fractured nasal cavity and that child is much larger than an average 11 year old.

This reminds me of students I had to remove from schools because everyone was always "picking on them". Their parents would come to the school in a huff angry because they had to be picked up by CFSA because they were acting an ass at school.

I bet this girl was uncontrollable. The female officer exercised incredible restraint and this bad assed child should have known better. Had her mother and father reared her properly "developmental delay" doesn't equal explosive outburst with psychotic features.

In either case, there was no excuse for this girl to act the way that she did.

That's the problem with most of these "alleged" police brutality and excessive force cases. The perps involved typically deserve the treatment they get as a result of their inability to cooperate and follow instructions. I shudder to think what would have happened if this girl had been in possession of an object that could have been construed as a weapon.

BLKseagoat, she looks like a pretty sizable kid, but her mother claims she has the development of a 5 year old. The amount of voltage coming out of a taser gun, in my opinion is excessive force on an 11 year old. Was the cop her size and couldn't take her down?

I know we are getting a brief summary of details, but when I hear a cop used a taser on a child, who wasn't pointing a gun, knife, or had the cop in a choke hold, it is a bit much. The child does deserve to be disclipined, regardless of her mental capacity.
