TSG: Cop Tases 10-Year-Old Girl

Arkansas mother suggested stun gun treatment for unruly daughter

NOVEMBER 18--An Arkansas cop tasered an unruly 10-year-old girl after her mother called police to report that the child was crying, screaming, and refusing to go to bed. The tased girl, Kiara Medlock, is about 65 pounds and 4' 6", according to her father. Anthony Medlock, a truck driver who does not live with the fifth grader and her mother, provided TSG with a recent photo of his daughter, which can be seen at right. According to the below Ozark Police Department report, when Officer Dustin Bradshaw arrived at the residence last Thursday, he found the girl "screaming, kicking, and resisting every time her mother tried to touch her." Bradshaw added that, "Her mother told me to tase her if I needed to." After Kiara continued to refuse her mother's instructions, the cop concluded that "there was not going to be a peaceful resolution of the issue." Bradshaw warned the girl that she was "going to jail," but the child continued kicking and crying and resisted his attempt to handcuff her. During the tussle, Kiara "struck me with her legs and feet in the groin, reported Bradshaw, who countered with a brief "stun to her back" with his Taser. The child, not surprisingly, "immediately stopped resisting and was placed into handcuffs. She would not walk on her own and I had to carry her to my police car." Kiara was then transported to a youth shelter.

Clusterfuck. They should issue licenses for parenting.

Also, Syt, your knee-jerk anti-American hysteria is duly noted.

I hope this trend develops and flight attendants begin to taser the motherfucking toddlers screaming their lungs out on a plane.

Oddly enough this makes my opinion of Arkansas rise.

I figured Berkut is still asleep so I would say it instead.

That cop is a pussy.

Actually, while I do think that U.S. cops are a bit taser happy at times, I firmly believe that all parents should have tasers for cases like this.

Fuck tasers, this case calls for a belt.

her mother called police to report that the child was crying, screaming, and refusing to go to bed.

At that point, the appropriate response is to tell the mother, "That's not a police matter".

I've defended the actions of the police in the other threads we've had about the use of tasers, but this is just stupid.  That the officeer tasered the girl isn't the problem so much as it's that the police shouldn't have been involved at all.

 Man, martinus, really quick to legislate the rights to breeding as a homosexual, arent we?

I dont mind your constant homo rights tirade. I even support it to some small extent. But children are a right a man has, ah..

Edit: Arkansas always sucked. Especially this part.

If a cop is 'having a difficult time placing the cuffs' on a 10 year old he probably needs to find a new job

Not quite. Those of us who have no children should be the ones with the tasers. Kid bothering you? Tase the whole family and problem solved.

These little bitches can be tough.

I'm glad to see some police officers haven't succumb to the liberal pressure and remain tough on crime and delinquency.
