I would agree ( and I think many cops would agree ) that if at all possible you take down the kid without the stun gun, but earlier you were saying they should be fried for not doing this. all I'm saying is that in the moment, and none of us were there, they did what they thought was best. I have a 7 year old niece and some of my friends have kids in that age group and I wrestle with them all the time and if one of them is holding something that they don't want me to have, it's going to be a real pain in my ass to get it away from them. I just think the chances are that the kid would have done more harm to himself if they would have tried to wrestle it away from him.
