She's "...not your normal sized 13 year old child." Hence the taser.

Resource officer uses taser on student

LAKELAND - A Lakeland police officer said he had no other choice than to use his Taser on a 13-year-old student at Southwest Middle School.

According to the arrest report, student Unique Young had been removed from class for acting up. However, she refused to sit in the office and wait for her parents to come pick her up.

The school’s resource officer, Edward Lori, was alerted of Young’s refusal to wait in the front office. The police report says Lori joined the confrontation between Young and the dean of students in the hallway of the school.

Lori said he asked Young to come with him but she refused. He says in the report that Young “is not a normal-sized 13-year-old child. She is 5’4” weighing 185 pounds and very strong.”

Lori said that the girl continued to disobey his orders for her to move out of the hall. He pulled out his Taser as a way to make her comply, but she kept on screaming.

Lori pointed the taser at the girl and warned her before pulling the trigger.

“She instantly fell to the ground, at which time I ran over to her,” said Lori in his statement.

4. Ain't it somethin'?

Makes ya want to fly down there, grab a lawnchair, place it somewhere in Tampa, sit down, and enjoy the show. It HAS to be more entertaining than any TV show out there. HAS TO BE.

2. Dang.

You should do some sort of journal/blog/chronicle like sniffa does. Wrap all this shit together into a small book. I would buy it!

3. That ought to show her.

Tasers, like talking sense into an irrational and out of control person, only it doesn’t take any thought or compassion and it is much more painful. Bet that over-sized 13 year old gained some maturity and insight from this experience.
