Cop tasers 10 year old kid
Never wanted to smash someone in the face or tear them apart by reading something online as much as I do right now.
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-buzz/officer-shoots-10-...
| Quote: | This couldn't have been the lesson that the Tularosa New Mexico Intermediate School staff were expecting on "career day."
Chris Webb, an officer with the New Mexico Department of Public Safety, is being sued after allegedly using a Taser on a 10-year-old boy in an attempt
to demonstrate what happens when people disobey the police.
According to the complaint filed, Webb had asked a group of young boys if they'd like to clean his patrol unit during his career day visit. Several of
the boys had agreed to the chore while one boy was, well, less than thrilled.
Webb then pointed the Taser at the boy, saying "let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police," RT reports.
The child reportedly blacked out after receiving 50,000 volts of electricity from the two barbs taken in the chest, but the deplorable story gets
worse.
"Instead of calling emergency medical personnel, Officer Webb pulled out the barbs and took the boy to the school principal's office," says RT. The
boy was left with two scars on his chest that have been described in court as "cigarette burns."
"The boy, R.D., has woken up in the middle of the night holding his chest, afraid he is never going to wake up again," says legal guardian Rachel
Higgins, speaking of the child's case of post-traumatic stress disorder. "No reasonable officer confronting a situation where the need for force is at
its lowest, on a playground with elementary age children, would have deployed the Taser in so reckless a manner as to cause physical and psychological
injury."
On behalf of the child, Higgins is currently suing Officer Webb and the New Mexico Department of Public Safety, seeking punitive damages for a host of
charges including excessive force, battery, unreasonable seizure, failure to render emergency medical care, and negligent hiring, training,
supervision and retention, RT reports. |
Sued? really? How the fuck are there not felony criminal charges filed against the fucking cunt? Aggravated assault, battery, injury to a child...
prison for a very long time, not a fucking lawsuit.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

Pretty fucking stupid on the cops behalf.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

he doesn't still have his job, does he?
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

This pig should be lit on fire and laughed at as he burns to death.

I'd venture to say if he still does have his job, he will lose it.

Fucking ridiculous.
LiveLeak has put his Facebook profile up on their news story also.

People should be picketing the station he is based out of demanding he be fired and criminally charged.

The Taser is not a lethal. Not defending the ass, just saying it's not going to be treated like he shot the kid with a gun. The taser use will be
treated similar to if he had used OC pepper spray. Meaning it wont be a strict punishment. The strict punishment will come from the How and Why he
used it. If he can prove the kid was acutally attacking and threatening bodily force then he will get off. If what is being said in the article is
true then he should lose his job.

if a cop feels threatened by a 10 year old, then he shouldn't be a cop in the first place......

^^^^^ Your very wrong. The first thing you learn in the Academy is never under any circumstances underestimate anyone. Even an elderly grandmother.
Many instances involving children have taken out Officers of the law. Including children services, Probation Officers and those related.
In this case however at least in this story the kid was never a threat. Admittedly we are only getting one side of the story in this thread.

I get what you're saying man.
Just most of the cops I have come in contact with in recent years are pretty Diesel guys with 20 inch necks, armed to the teeth with a Kevlar vest on
all day.
They don't seem to be intimidated by a tank.

Atleast the cop didn't snipe him like the pubescent boy in Georgia.

Sorry, but that story in Georgia is clearly a threat. Known of us were there, but that 16 year old kid should have known better. A gun is not a toy
and threatening suicide is not something to be taken lightly. Law Enforcement is not perfect and neither are we. An disturbed person with a gun is a
threat to everyone no matter the age.

Yeah tasing a 10 year old at a school for saying no is worlds apart from shooting a 16 year old with a gun. I don't see the point of shooting a
suicidal kid anyway but that's another story. Send a Psychologist to talk to him over the phone, he wasn't threatening his family in any way, don't
trat him like he's holding people hostage with the intent to injur or kill them.

You can all argue all you want, but the pig that tased the 10 year old is a sick piece of shit and should be done away with.

^^^^ We all agree. The other kid. Not so much. Guns are not a novelty to use when you are mad or frustrated. Sorry, but a gun is the ticket to the big
leagues. Grab a gun, its a whole other world.

I have to agree with you there. That story was sad and ended badly, but you're right when you bring a gun the rules change. I look at it like this,
keep in mind I was not there, but if a kid was waving a gun at me and I had one I would shoot him as well.
