Ozark, AR policeman tasered 10 yr. girl having a temper tantrum.
I can't find any written story of this since there's now a fee to access our one, and only, newspaper online. So here's a link to the video of her father talking about it. He's in tears.

3. The mother gave permission. If I were the father, I'd be in court for sole custody.
First off, the mother called the cops because she couldn't handle a ten year old girl? Then she gave permission to taze the kid?

Dad's got bigger problems than a cop.

4. Fired? For assaulting a child?
The bastard should be thrown in a nice, comfy state penitentiary so he can explain his actions to his fellow inmates; between that and being a former cop, that should make him lots of friends there.

But I do agree: the girl's father should sue.

5. A parent can't handle a 10 yr old girl? Maybe.
Yeah, okay. Maybe. I've had some rough days, too. Not cop-calling rough, but rough enough to question whether I was cracked up to be in charge of kids. (I got past it, thank goodness...)

But a cop who can't handle a 10 yr old girl? Unless that kid had a black belt or an Uzi, that cop should not only be fired, he should be run out of town on a rail. How can he even look the other cops in the eye, let alone the rest of the town? I'm surprised he hasn't dropped dead from the shame.

6. The pig should be sentenced to be tazed until his death.
Which should take a while, because they are "non-lethal", right?

10. Wow! And the police chief thinks this is OK, too.
Remind me to skip that part of Arkansas if I'm going that way.
