        Now my question is was the 11-year-old girl African American or white and was she carrying or brandishing any type of weapon, cause if she wasn't the officer didn't have to taser.

        If she was a minority, officer will get paid leave. If she was white officer will get fired

        Jesus, the first comment is about race, the others are mocking a kid for getting tased. I'm sooo proud of the adults on here for knowing that stealing is wrong, but do you think the cop could have maybe caught her? She's 11, if a cop can't outrun them then they shouldn't be a cop

        With a taser they don’t need to put run them. Maybe we need to teach people respect for law officers.

        And the OFF DUTY officer moonlighting as a security guard had a chance to do that, right up to the point when he tased her in the back at a grocery store.

        That concern over a few dollars in loss just cost a few million and at least one job.

        You’re right but when u run you give the cop the power to make a power move like a taser to the back this might not be the first time she stole she just got busted this time and now the family is going to try to win the getto lotto and blame the system

        Especially a little girl. Clearly that cop is unfit for the job
