Cop Tasers girl for resisting bedtime

The local police chief in Ozark, Arkansas is standing behind one of his officers who tasered a 10-year-old girl who was refusing to go to bed.

The bizarre story is laid out in a police incident report obtained by website The Smoking Gun.

Officer Dustin Bradshaw was called to the home by a woman complaining that her daughter was being unruly and refusing to go to sleep. Bradshaw wrote that when he arrived at the home, he found Kiara Medlock "balled up in (sic) the floor crying and screaming."

After watching her mother attempt to get Kiara into the bathtub with little success, Bradshaw took the girl into the living room and threatened her with jail. That didn't settle things down. At some point, Bradshaw claims Kiara's mother told him to "taser her if I needed to."

This is disgraceful. Absolutely disgraceful.

Is this really what we have come to as a country?

How many of you and your family members do not see a problem with such behavior among "law enforcement" officials?

How many of you who are police officers would run interference in defense of an officer who attacks a 10 year old girl with physical violence?

Who calls the police when their child, won't go to bed?

What a complete waste of police time!
