The Poojer Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 i assume, and hope, that your sadness comes from the actions of this obviously distressed 6 year old and not at the actions of the police.
Thailog80 Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 He didnt hurt himself or anyone else. The Police made a good decision.
flomoe Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 The Police did what they had to do. All I can say is, that's Miami for ya. Miami is LA of the east, just basically another cesspool of humanity with no direction, at it's finest.
stuckincincy Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Electrifying but appearently not groundless...

nick in* england Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 is it wrong to find that even remotely amusing?? or is that the british black humour coming out? sounds like a python sketch
stevestojan Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 I would bet a year's salary that if you went to that kids house, his mom is the same type of woman you'd expect to see on any given episode of COPS. And dad? Ha... Poor little kid. Probably didnt have a chance from the minute he was born.
stuckincincy Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 boooooooooooooooo 114267[/snapback] Sorry, that was positively (negatively?) revolting.
ICE Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 First off it is sad the kid has issues. I am glad he is getting help. It is pure BULL stevestojan to use a taser on a 6 year old. Their excuses are pure crap. If a hand full of cops can't get a damn piece of glass from a 6 year old, they ALL should be canned NOW.

ICE Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 This has lawsuit written all over it. 114255[/snapback] And it should.
stevestojan Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 And it should. 114306[/snapback] WHAT?? What should they have done? Tried to grab the kid? And let him stab them? I know he's only 6, but the kid needed to be restrained. Reminds me of when I used to work with kids. We had one that completly went off the wall. He ran into the middle of the street, screaming, throwing crap, etc.. he then started punching two of the little girls.... I was assigned to go restrain him. Now, there are laws as to how to do this without getting sued, and my boss explained exactly what I had to do. I grabbed him, sat him on my lap facing away from me. I then crossed my legs over his. The grabbed both of his arms and crossed them over his chest. It didnt hurt him, but while i was trying to get this kid (8 years old) into this position, he continually tried to bite me. And he succeeded once. It was everything i had to not whack this kid. I finally had him in this "hold" so he couldnt kick, punch, or bite, and sat like that for 30 minutes until his mom got there. She had forgot to give him his meds for 3 days in a row. White trash to a tee. Anyway, she gets there, and yells at me for restraining her son. Needless to say, Im surprised with an attitude like yours so rampant these days, my workplace did not get sued. The kid is this story had a !@#$ing weapon!
Thailog80 Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 The tasers have adjustable settings. The kid had a weapon end of story. Everyone loves to second guess the cops except when they need them.
nick in* england Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 The little prick deserved it. 114312[/snapback] i 2nd that
stevestojan Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 The tasers have adjustable settings114319[/snapback] ...from "Rub your feet on the carpet and touch a doorknob" all the way up to "extra tasty crispy" ...
