Legal News for Indiana Personal Injury Attorneys. Two police officers have been suspended with pay after they allegedly tased an unruly 10-year-old boy at an Indiana day care center.
Why on earth is a 10 year old in a day care?
Presumably because it requires both his parents to be at work so as to provide for their child in Obama's America?

Old women, teenage girls, unarmed people who aren't being violent, and now a 10-year old?
I think police need some better clarification on use of tasers. It's supposed to be an alternative to lethal force, not a compliance tool for uncooperative people. Tasers can and do kill people, using one on a child is reckless.
A 10-year old? Are you telling me two police officers can't restrain a child without risking his death? I'm not a big guy, but I've never met a 10-year old who I couldn't overpower. Two guys, both likely bigger than me, who are trained to do this shouldn't have trouble.
There's also no circumstance in which a police officer should slap anybody. It doesn't serve any purpose in apprehension.
I want to see pictures of this child-hercules that couldn't be stopped without a few thousand volts of electricity.

Upon arriving at the day care, the two unidentified police authorities reportedly found the child incessantly kicking and shouting. As a means of preventing the child from harming anyone, including himself, the officers reportedly slapped and then tased the young boy.

I guess there's two threads on this topic?
This 10 yo was hit with a 'Stun Gun' not a 'Taser'. Actually this article has both Stun and Taser for what was used to subdue this kid?
A Taser is the yellow marked gun that shoots out two electrical prongs which are connected to two electrical wires. But this isn't what the kid was shot with, he was tapped with a 'Stun Gun'. The media doesn't even know the damn difference between the two weapons! Jesus! This is not even news worthy.
The reason why cops use Stun Guns on unruly kids is because when they usually try to subdue them the officers end up leaving bruises on their arms from the kids struggling and resisting so much. A stun gun doesn't leave a bruise. I bet that little rug rat complies with the day care next time.
[ame=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser]Taser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]Some Taser models, particularly those used by police departments, also have a "Drive Stun" capability, where the Taser is held against the target without firing the projectiles, and is intended to cause pain without incapacitating the target. "Drive Stun" is "the process of using the EMD weapon [Taser] as a pain compliance technique. This is done by activating the EMD and placing it against an individual’s body. This can be done without an air cartridge in place or after an air cartridge has been deployed."[22]

Taser is the brand name for a particular type of stun gun
what you are talkin about is the following

Yeah, it would be so much better if their only option was to pull their gun and start shooting. :roll:Things like this are why I don't like the idea of the police being issued tasers in the first place. Since they're 'non-lethal' some of them are apparently of the opinion that it's okay to use a taser just to shut someone up.

Did they kill the kid or cause serious injury to him by using a taser on him or was that just a strawman?Nice strawman there.
It would be better if police did not treat tasers as compliance tools, but rather as alternatives to lethal force. Like rubber bullets - you only use them when you need to, because they are very likely to cause injury and can even be lethal themselves.
Possibly-lethal force simply cannot be justified when the subject is an unarmed 10 year old.

This is far less serious a matter than is being made of it. Here are some givens...Two Martinsville, IN police deputies suspended after using stun gun on child | Justice News Flash | JusticeNewsFlash Release

If they physically try to subdue him and he ends up injured, they're considered to be brutes.
If they do nothing, they're negligent.
If they subdue him with a stun gun, they're abhorrent.
Sounds like today police are in constant no-win situations. There's never a right answer. Hell, they get sent to court when they use stun guns for obviously legitmiate reasons.
We're about two steps from just ignoring the police and making everyone handle their own issues.

He is ten, I would expect him to be in school, not a daycare.
Or depending on how mature he was, left at home by himself,
Heck I was in elementary and left by my self more then a few times (around grade 2-3)
There is no legitimate reason for using a stun gun on a 10 year old kid. None. Ever. Period.
The ten year old's/adolescents today are growing up faster each year.
