The kid in question:

The dumbass in question:

Note the officer is now referred to as Defendant Webb:

Officer Chris Webb accused of tasering a 10-year-old boy to teach him a lesson

...Guardian ad litem Rachel Higgins sued the New Mexico Department of Public Safety and Motor Transportation Police Officer Chris Webb on behalf of the child, in Santa Fe County Court.

Higgins claims Webb used his Taser on the boy, R.D., during a May 4 “career day” visit to Tularosa New Mexico Intermediate School.

“Defendant Webb asked the boy, R.D., in a group of boys, who would like to clean his patrol unit,” the complaint states. “A number of boys said that they would. R.D., joking, said that he did not want to clean the patrol unit.

“Defendant Webb responded by pointing his Taser at R.D. and saying, ‘Let me show you what happens to people who do not listen to the police.’”

that kid is no angel, not saying it was justified but quinnox Jun 2013 #29

Exactly, notice the chess set in front of him, clearly he's one of those troublemakers Fumesucker Jun 2013 #30

just saying, there are two sides to every story quinnox Jun 2013 #31

You think even being obnoxious would justify tasering a 10 year old? Bonobo Jun 2013 #32

nope, I already said it wouldn't quinnox Jun 2013 #35

the context and circumstances matter quinnox Jun 2013 #61

Hell, the kid deserved tasering just for being a chess player Fumesucker Jun 2013 #69

In any context, the cop was the adult in the situation. MNBrewer Jun 2013 #76

Quinnox doesn't care about context, his first post here said "look at the kid" CreekDog Jun 2013 #120

No, you are just wrong. The cop attacked the kid for no good reason. Period. Comrade Grumpy Jun 2013 #102

In this case it doesn't. kcr Jun 2013 #114

No you said how the kid looks matter, you decided his looks made him suspect CreekDog Jun 2013 #119

If the BOY was being a rude little punk it makes no difference. Gormy Cuss Jun 2013 #124

...actually using the taser... he should serve time or at least lose his badge. nt Ed Suspicious Jun 2013 #127

Yes, I realized he used it, but my point was that even pointing it at the kid was over the edge. Gormy Cuss Jun 2013 #130

Couldn't agree more. nt Ed Suspicious Jun 2013 #131

No, they don't matter. Some people really do need to stay away from children. nt Ed Suspicious Jun 2013 #126

no, but I'm not a ten year old boy being disrespectful to a policeman in front of a class quinnox Jun 2013 #59

How? There is no law that requires school children to swamp out patrol vehicles. Thor_MN Jun 2013 #60

oh boy, I can't help then if you see no difference between how kids are treated vs quinnox Jun 2013 #62

Well, we saw how kids are treated in your world, they get Tasered. Thor_MN Jun 2013 #65

not really quinnox Jun 2013 #66

You are jumping to the conclusion he was obnoxious. Thor_MN Jun 2013 #70

No conclusion is required. The cop TASERED a 10 year old, got that? Th1onein Jun 2013 #79

Admit it, Quinnox... ReRe Jun 2013 #84

Demonstration? Huh? Th1onein Jun 2013 #67

Get over yourself, it's not nuance. You said "look at the picture, the kid looks like..." CreekDog Jun 2013 #122

And like your reply, one of them is usually bullshit. n/t Egalitarian Thug Jun 2013 #111

And the cop looks like an active alcoholic. Mariana Jun 2013 #52
