A police officer used a Taser stun gun to subdue a 10-year-old girl in her own home.
The officer had been called to the girl's home in Ozark, Arkansas, by her mother because she was behaving in an unruly manner and refusing to take a shower.
In a report on the incident the officer, Dustin Bradshaw, said the mother gave him permission to use the Taser.
I hardly think To Protect and Serve includes allowing a mother to call the police just because her 10 year old daughter is refusing to take a shower! Now the girl is to face disorderly conduct charges! In my view, it is the mother who should be facing child neglect charges and the police officer for assault.
The officer is now suspended not for tasering her but for failing to have a camera attached when he did. I agree the mother should be jailed and the poor girls father should get custody.
