thats a little different but no where in that article did it say he was 200 lbs and that he tried to attack the girl a second time after being stunned once...
and if it was my daughter being attacked i still wouldn't want them to use excessive force on the 11 year old CHILD to stop him, it doesn't even say to what extent he was attacking her cornering her could have been attacking her grabbing her arm could have been attacking her.... the scenarios can go on and on...
the fact is that both parties involved were CHILDREN not adults and whether or not the stun gun was on low or not no child deserves to be stunned for something like that kids fight every day it happens. UNLESS THE CHILD HAD A WEAPON IN HIS HANDS THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY TIME I WOULD RATIONALIZE THIS SITUATION. a teacher would have surely handled the situation differently as they deal with these types of things on a day to day basis when have you ever heard of a teacher using a stun gun on a child to stop them from fighting or any weapon for that matter on a CHILD to stop them from fighting? this isn't a columbine situation where the kid had a gun and tried to shoot the girl or had a knife and was threatening her life...
again if he is was were a cop he could have physically handled a child...
it's a matter of calmly mediating the situation he overreacted end of story.
and i don't think its standard practice for these SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS to carry stun guns. they don't even carry a night stick in our schools they just sit on a stool in their uniform no gun no taser no night stick.
anyway back to work shit happens
