When you make laws that don't take individual circumstances into play this is what happens. There was no reason to tase her, the only thing she had done wrong was make improper decisions with regards to the photos she was taking/sending, tasing her certainly didn't help that in any way. The cop should have simply let her run , she posed no threat to anyone, and simply show up at her school in the morning.

People that say " she shouldn't have run" are ignorant, it is a silly excuse. Cops work for us, if the majority of us think we shouldn't tase children that pose no threat for simply running away then it is as simple as that, cops should be doing what we want them to do.
