Is this where we go to get told how this is just one bad cop. Savannahmann Jun 2013 #27

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

Would you consider yourself obnoxious if you said you didn't want to clean my car? Thor_MN Jun 2013 #58

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

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
