wiffleball 4,660 Posted December 3, 2009 PUEBLO, Colo. — Colorado sheriff's deputies shocked an "out of control" 10-year-old child with a Taser and arrested him. Pueblo Sheriff's Capt. Jeff Teschner said Wednesday that the boy was not hurt when deputies took action Monday after arriving at his foster home, where he was reportedly destroying property. Teschner says deputies were justified in their use of force. The deputies say the youth threatened them with a pipe and a stick, and threw a piece of wood at them. The boy was arrested on suspicion of menacing with a deadly weapon. Last month, a police officer in a small Arkansas town was fired after using a stun gun on an unruly 10-year-old girl, not for using the Taser but for violating department policy by failing to use the camera attached to it. Note, the PLURAL deputies. Really? Sister Barlow managed to contain the rowdiest of 9th graders at my school , but multiple deputies can't somehow wrangle a ten-year old? The pussification of the po-po is complete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
