... refusing to volunteer to clean the officer's patrol car on "career day" at the elementary school.

No violence from the boy, just said "I don't want to clean your car."

No defending this moron.

As I've said many times, there are bad people in every job...and a couple of decent ones who still became lawyers.

Criminal charges. Assault on a minor and any other charge you can think up. Fire the idiot cop and lock him up

I'd say he's almost ready for Chicago PD.

I do not dare to publically say what I think should happen to this Pig

HankB · « **Reply #7 on:** October 31, 2012, 04:35:34 PM »

Assuming things happended as described . . .

The officer is just one bad apple in a department full of good, dedicated police officers.

The fact that no mention has been made of the department's "good" officers and supervisors taking action to arrest the perp and file criminal charges should not be taken to mean they tolerate the bad cops among them, oh no . . . it should be interpreted as . . . uh . . . let's see . . .

I'll have to get back to you on that.

I'm with Tallpine: I can't post here what I'm thinking.

The local PD should have been racing to grab the bad apple before the child's father caught hold of him...

Taser my kid like that....and Officer Friendly will know what it is like to be tasered in the colon....

vaskidmark · « **Reply #10 on:** October 31, 2012, 05:55:36 PM »

He did WHAT?

And then instead of calling EMS he pulled the barbs out himself?

It also appears, mainly because it was not noted otherwise, that he remains unincarcerated.

Along with the rest of you, I find various FCC rules forbidding me from esxpressing in interstate commerce my thoughts regarding a final outcome of this matter.

stay safe.

Well, with any luck, the child will have his college education paid for.

I can't say what I really want to say.

I did a bing search for "taser 10 year old boy" and was surprised this wasn't the only story linked.

Where is the original news story and why can't I find that?
Do the police departments track use and replacement of those taser cartridges?
What the hell did the principle do when the kid was brought in after being tapered? What were they told?

I tried searching a local newspaper site and also got nothing. You would think this would be news.

It is news over here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2225633/Boy-10-tasered-police-officer-refusing-clean-patrol-car.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

I agree with Strings also, you would think that - assuming this is true - his employers would have hung this bloke out to dry as soon as humanly possible, if for no other reason that it would protect their own arses later on.

Considering it was supposed to have happened in May why is it just now making news?

*slightly perturbed look*

So, guys, when was the last time we a good ole fashioned burning-at-the-stake?

Two attacks against another member already. Shutting this one down since folks can't be civil.

Re-opening this because some interesting info has come out about the case. If the the member bashing continues, I'll close it permanently and give the offenders a time-out.

Did a quick google search for updated info, couldn't find anything, care to share Chris? :)

roo_ster · « **Reply #21 on:** November 01, 2012, 09:52:44 AM »

I will state for the record I am firmly against tasering 10YO kids who refuse to clean my car. Also, pets, except for small yappy dogs.

[I jest because, well, not sure I want to write down my honest reaction.]

Article from yesterday with more detail, though maybe not mtnbkr's new info:
http://www.abqjournal.com/main/2012/10/31/news/officer-tases-boy-at-school.html

Even in the best light, taking Officer Amperage's word, he is a nitwit to have pulled a ranged weapon and then to have swept the kiddos.

It was relayed to me by word of mouth, but what I was told jives with what Roo_ster posted.

He's too *expletive deleted*ing stupid to be allowed to be a cop...

AZRedhawk44 · « **Reply #24 on:** November 01, 2012, 10:45:19 AM »

So this new info is "well it went off by accident?"

Who thought the guy would actually own up to being a sphincter?

1* strikes again.

*expletive deleted*ing cops and their *expletive deleted*ing three day unpaid suspensions for things that should land the rest of us in prison for years.
