Shocking story?

[pomtzu]

I wonder what's next? A lawsuit by some irate parents maybe???

That jerk is lucky that none of the students suffered anything more than welts. Tasers have been known to be deadly.

Morons??? That's an understatement!

[Asiel]

I think maybe that guy should be tasered by the students, what an idiot. I hope the force will give him a leave without pay for a long time, so unbelievable.

so out of the 30 kids, how many complained? They asked to be tazed and I see only one went to the hospital. Fire away, officer!

I say if you're dumb enough to ask to be tazed, you diserve what you get. The students were better off than most tazer victims who usually get very little warning (if any)

Maybe all of those kids were AC/DC fans

This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever read here on PT!!!! I think you would have a different opinion if you had a kid involved, and if you weren't outraged that your kid was put in danger, then you're just one more of those people that should never have had any in the first place!

Talk about morons............

it's not like he just grabbed some random kids and zapped them. They wanted to be tazed. Besides if there were 30 of them, I'm sure more than one of those saw another kid before him get tazed.... and still wanted to do it.

And teens have been known to say and do many stupid things. Just because they asked for it, does it mean that this so-called responsible law enforcement officer (or anyone with an ounce of common sense), should have done it??? I'm glad he's not on any police force in this area, and what's more, he should not be on any at all. Taser a minor because he asked for it??? Oh sure, I wonder what else he's capable of??? This is more than just a moment of a lack of good judgment - it's reckless endangerment - plain and simple!!!

[Lady's Human]

While the officer certainly shouldn't have done what he did,I have to laugh. If they were dumb enough to ask to get tazered, they got what they deserved.

It's the old Bill Cosby line.........I've seen parents dumb enough to tell the kid to go get a stick to beat 'em with. And I've seen kids dumb enough to go outside and rip up a tree.

You're right & I agree with what you said. The officers are supposed to
use adult judgement in dealing with the public.They sure didn't in this case.

We had a case of stupid cops using a tazer on a 10 yr old kid. They are
both on unpaid leave because of it.

Haha. Oh yes.

The teens were idiots for asking, the guy was stupid for doing it. There's fault on both sides. Not what I would really call a funny story, mind, but definitely one that shows how people can injure themselves in the daftest of ways!

Why would one want to be tasered, anyway?
