So, a woman being arrested gets belligerent with the cop and the cop has to forcibly put her on the ground. A 160 lb 12 year old boy sees his mom freaking out on the cop and starts hitting the back of the cop. The cop warns the kid that if he doesn't back off he's going to make things worse. The child continues to hit and proceeds to kick the police office in the ass getting a little too close to the gonads. The officer warns the kid again that he's going to use his taser if he keeps it up. If the child keeps it up, what is the police officer supposed to do?
Obviously this isn't what happened here based on the size of the kid alone, but an age is nothing more than an age. You tell me he tasered a 5 year old and yeah, I'm sure I'll agree with you. But a 12 year old? Not necessarily.
