It's time to take the tasers away from cops!

[blackmonsters]

These dumb motherfuckers don't have a clue of when to use the thing.

Fat pig said "I had no choice but to use the taser". Oh yeah?
Here's a choice : Get your fat ass in shape so a teenage girl can't out run
your over grown lazy ass.

[WarChild]

It's time to take legs away from stupid teenage girls!

[Tempest]

It's time to take the tasers away from cops!

I agree.. They should just shoot all the morons instead...

[Pipecrew]

that's a pretty extreme case, I really dont even see how the hell that much damage was caused. I'd still rather get tased than hit with an ASP in the head or in the legs.

[_Richard_]

what was the crime that warranted such a violent arrest? don't they need reason to stop someone?

Teenagers are always stupid. That is not an excuse for a cop to be so brutal, that poor girl could have died

Hope you don't have any children

In Canada they do but in USA it's another story

[u-Bob]

sadly, police brutality is becoming the standard these days

[rogueteens]

Is this the full story? The girl and her mother were arguing so they drove to a poilce station (?!?!?) and the daughter was tasered because she ran into a park? I wonder what this story was missing?

[EZRhino]

Sounds like it was a accident that it hit her in the head. I think the mom brought her to the police station for something other then a cell phone disagreement. The city should pay for the injuries and chalk it up to a stupid girl trying to run from the cops and got hurt while resisting arrest.

I don't think the mother is telling the whole story. Stupid reason to bring her daughter to the station and what reason could she possibly have to run when the police tell her to stop.
My guess is that the mother brought her there because she was a danger to herself and to others and the police had to find a way to stop her. And the injury wasn't on purpose. Kind of hard to aim a taser dart and hit a small target like her head.

[CDSmith]

While I think that police forces in general need tighter restrictions on when they can/can't use tasers (in some places MUCH tighter restrictions), but... and I'm not making excuses for all the overzealous butthead cops out there of which there are many, but I also have to say that I really don't feel much sympathy or remorse for most criminal idiots who get a tasering. Seems like nearly every bit of footage I see lately is some moron who can't obey a simple command from a cop, or they resist, or run away instead of stopping, etc.

Hey, if you do something illegal and get caught and you refuse to drop the knife, bat, or screwdriver, or you struggle while being arrested, or throw shit at the cops or their car, or any number of dumbass things that idiots do when they're about to be arrested, then you pretty much get what you get.

Just be thankful it wasn't a couple of bullets in your ass I guess.

thats.crazy.

[BlackCrayon]

tazers are too unpredictable when it comes down to how it effects people differently. better than getting shot though but cops don't just use it instead of shooting.

yes, my thoughts too.

[PornAffiliate]

Saw that in AUS they hoped that the tasers would reduce gun usage but it only increased. And that story is just one of many. I believe they need strickter restrictions and training for when and how to use it. One crazy ex. of missuse is when a old guy with a heart condition refuses to go to the hostpital cus he has no insurance they eventually shoot him with that thing continuously forcing him to go. i think the video was from youtube if you want to see that episode.

[fatfoo]

Age does matter. I suppose one should have more pity for children rather than adults.

Great she was a danger to herself so it's ok for the cop to tase her?

Even if the cop wasn't trying to hit her in the head I'm not sure an electric shock to a poor dumb teenage girl is the answer.

A good cop could outrun her and take control of the situation without the use of such an extreme method.

Taser guns are not toys, there are cases of people killed with that kind of shit

I guess you just make shit up as you go so you can feel good.

The problem with all of these police assaults is that there seems to be little if any repercussions when police assault civilians.

If there were jail terms etc that would make these people think twice before whipping out the taser on anyone for no good reason.

That would make the police ineffective. Nurses in the UK, for example are required to attend people in need of medical help even when they are outside of work but i know for a fact that many of them will just walk past because they are too afraid of being sued. The same would just happen to the police, they would be too afraid to do their job properly.

quite the opposite. police need to stop getting so much flak.

running from the cops? fuck yourself, you deserve to get your ass tasered and I have zero sympathy for how hurt you get from it.

[DAMNMAN]

These COPs are CUNTs!!!! I can't think of any reason to taze a teenage girl, unless she's commin' at the cop with a straight razor etc....... Fucking Police Brutality, I've seen it up close (not on me personally, but more than once) and it suck ass.

[georgeyw]

Lots of different circumstances where tasers have been used when they were not necessary at all.

Zero sympathy for a poor kid??

Bro you're a monster

[Seth Manson]

I bet she doesnt ever try to run from cops again.

[gloryholeprincess]

Amen!

sadly, police brutality is becoming the standard these days

[potter]

Bro you're a monster

I was a kid once, bet you were too. I did stupid shit, and sometimes it hurt - really fucking bad.

No, I don't have sympathy for people's own decisions. That "poor kid" chose to run from the cops. That "poor kid" can now live with THEIR choice.

Yea because she was lucky, but she could be dead because a fucking pig was too lazy to run after her and grab her by her arm

[heymatty]

Running away from an argument with Mum is now a pretty serious matter.

[potter]

Yea because she was lucky, but she could be dead because she ran from the police

...There, fixed it for you. What happened to HER from the choice SHE made.

Your logic is just so backwards. It's like you're saying if you decided to go running a red light, got struck by another vehicle, getting injured in the accident. Then coming here and asking for sympathy, and worse trying to blame THE OTHER DRIVER.

No... That's not how the world works. You own your own choices in life, and the consequences that come with them.

[Matt 26z]

If police work was exclusively male like it should be, there would be no need for stun guns. They are in use only because female cops need a great equalizer due to their physical disadvantages.

They can't limit the tasers to male cops either since that would imply the females aren't capable of doing the job, so everyone got the tasers.

[John-ACWM]

They should make really high standards and not let every idiot join the forces or drasticly punish them and kick them out for good.

[ottopottomouse]

Extremely cut down version of whatever the story was.

nice one

[u-Bob]

'the girl running away' is no reason for the cop to use his taser. The taser is a deadly weapon and should only be used in selfdefense or in defense of others, not to torture people and force them to comply.

[cherrylula]

sadly, police brutality is becoming the standard these days

Yeah, why all this torture. Bring back the noose!

[cherrylula]

Down here in New Orleans they are about to change things to require cops to have some college education. I believe I read that some study showed cops with more education are less likely to engage in "police brutality."

[Angry Jew Cat - Banned for Life]

the simple answer is that we should give kids guns.

[Black All Through]

Badly trained and not adequately financed small town police departments.
They should do like in Europe and have state police. This will give the opportunity to move the officers around, to let them operate in larger towns and learn how to handle situations like this.
The swat team in my town 3 years back shot each other in a sting by mistake, the same thing repeated it self last winter.

In cases like this the cop wont even get suspended, the court is in his town, the district attorney knows him, the judge knows him and the jury wont fuck with him. If the police department was a state department then he could be judged in a state court not in his town and actually be punished for what he did to that girl.

Translation : I'm a lazy out of shape bitch myself that can't catch a girl without a taser, yet I fantasize that I could be a good cop and therefore think it's OK for cops to be
out of shape to the point that they need a taser for teenage girls.

Fixed for you. Wimpy.

No bro your logic is all fucked up, if you see a baby playing with an electric plug would you say it was his choice? would you tase the shit out of him? or would you grab him and put him away?

A teenage girl is pretty much the same, you can't blame her for the little understanding that she has of life, a teenage girl doesn't know what it is to work for a living, doesn't know what it is take care of her loved ones, doesn't know anything about life and perhaps everyone makes mistakes even adults, that's not a reason to start shooting people.

That cop didn't have to use such a brutal method.

What is wrong with you? You have so much respect for fucking illiterate megalomaniac piece of shit pig who things "I'm mister big shot in my pretty uniform and I'm not gonna run after a teenage girl"

Comparing a 16 year old to an infant. Here is the problem with society, it's people like you who turn this country into a nanny state where no one is responsible for their own actions. Maybe you'll get lucky some day and slip on a wet spot in a store and you can sue them for millions.

Its not a deadly weapon and its was invented to force people to comply without using deadly force.
I think she learned a valuable lesson.

[justinsain]

Here's how the cops use a taser in my neighborhood

That I did make up. I do feel a bit better now.

Bullshit! It was invented to subdue violent suspects and to protect the officer.

What you just said is the entire reason tasers need to be taken away.
They should not be using tasers to get compliance anymore that using the baton
or the gun for compliance. If the cop didn't have a taser and had thrown his baton
and put those stitches in the girls head you'd have a totally different opinion.

You've come to believe that the taser is a harmless tool that causes no injuries and
even when you see the kind of injury that it caused you still can't see it.

That's called being "brain washed".

It's time to take legs away from stupid teenage girls!

in some cities, the cops have to be in constant shape or they get canned. Should enact that everywhere
