riley, presumably, she's 11 and weighs in at almost 200 lbs (unless the taser caused her to lose a pound or two)
The mentality of course, is that of a baby.

So this brute of a child couldnt have been subdued by the principal along with a couple of male teachers.

The cops are called and they immediatly taser the child.
George Orwell would be rolling in his grave.

Secondly , in Florida they have what is called a “use of force matrix“, it requires the officer, BY LAW, to apply either a Taser or chemical agent to anyone who is resisting arrest before using physical force.

"When it comes to elementary aged children, the use of force policy says that we should consider other force options prior to utilizing the Taser. And in this particular case she was attacked by an 11-year-old, struck in her nose. She though her nose was broken. The deputy could have responded at a higher level than the Taser, but she did not. She went one level lower which was the use of the electronic control weapon, which subdued the child," said Commander Spike Hopkins.

oh come on now...at 11 years old did you NOT know that it was just WRONG to try to kill your schoolmates?

i mean, right and wrong is still being taught by parents in this country yeah?

at the very least you had to know that trying to hit a cop was probably a bad idea even if you didnt know it was wrong didnt you?

hey why dont we just remove the taser from the cops aresenal yeah? then they can go back to measures we know kill for all violent offenders. i hear the 9mm is quite popular. for kids just the CS or the baton how's that?

little? apparently she was the same size as the officer. 5'5 and 150-170lbs.

and apparently "time out" had worked real well.

so lets recap.
this should have just been written off as kids being kids cuz she was 11 and therefore not expected to know the difference between right and wrong....

should have just risked further physical altercation cuz the taser is the tool of the NWO and the slight risk there is of her being in that tiny fraction of people who are injured seriously outweighs the officers safety and that of the girl who'd have had to be restrained by much more forceful means had the taser not been used.

What is a 'higher' force then?

I am seeing all sorts of different weights between the articles and members, between 150-200 pounds. She was a big girl, no doubt. Did anyone find a picture though?

lethal.

this really isnt a one line post, its a simple answer to a direct question

Resistance Level 4 (Active Physical) is where a subject
makes physically evasive movements to prevent the
officer from taking control. He or she may brace or
tense themselves, try to push or pull away, take a
fighting stance, not allow the officer to approach, or
run away. Id.
The corresponding Response Level (Intermediate
Weapons) provides for the use of impact weapons like
the baton to gain control by pain compliance at a higher
level of risk for injury to the subject than a Level 3
Response calls for. For instance at Level 3, the pain
compliance technique utilized is more likely to be
something like pressure applied to the subject’s
pressure points. At Response Level 4, the officer may
be justified in striking the subject in the thigh with the
baton, or using chemical agents such as “pepper spray.”

Defcon5,

So then this paticular case falls under Resistance level 4?

101.16 Aggressive Physical Resistance: A subject makes overt, hostile, attacking movements, which may cause injury, but are not likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the member or others.

101.161 The member may use any of those responses previously indicated and may also respond, up to and including, incapacitation techniques intended to stun or render a subject temporarily unconscious, delivered with or without an impact weapon, such as a strike to a major nerve area.

101.15 Active Physical Resistance: A subject makes physically evasive movements to defeat an member’s attempt at control. This may be in the form of bracing or tensing, attempts to push or pull away, or not allow the member to get close. Verbal cues that indicate the subject will not comply, or will increase resistance, may accompany active physical resistance.

101.161 The member may use any of those responses previously indicated and may also respond, up to and including, incapacitation techniques intended to stun or render a subject temporarily unconscious, delivered with or without an impact weapon, such as a strike to a major nerve area.
