More Taser Tag - 11 Year Olds and Medical Conditions

It’s not Tasers in general I have a problem with, but that fact that incompetent cops are allowed to use them in situations that make no sense. We have police tasing an 11 year old girls, tasing a man who they were called to help because of obvious medical issues. Come on an 11 year old, if you cannot manage an 11 year old girl without a Taser no matter how out of control she is you are in the wrong job.

Man dies after Taser used

The Shawnee County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday released the identity of a Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. employee who died Sunday after being tased by a sheriff's deputy.

The man who died was Walter E. Haake Jr., 59, of Lawrence. However, the sheriff's office released no other details about what led to the tasing at the Topeka Goodyear plant.

Early reports indicated Haake had been suffering from a medical condition and had resisted emergency personnel's efforts to subdue him. The sheriff's office said after several attempts to control Haake, a deputy used a Taser on him.

Haake was taken by ambulance to a Topeka hospital and later pronounced dead.

11-Year-Old Girl Tasered At School After Punching Officer In Face

An Orange County deputy said she had no choice but to shock an 11-year-old girl with a Taser on Thursday morning in an elementary school classroom. Deputies said it was to stop a violent temper tantrum.

The girl at Moss Park Elementary punched the deputy in the nose so hard the deputy went to the hospital. While an 11-year-old shocked by a Taser sounds extreme to some parents, other parents told Eyewitness News the girl deserved it.
