        I managed concert security for 13 years and never hurt a single patron. No matter how drunk or belligerent. We were trained in NON-VIOLENT crisis intervention and it's shocking to think an officer wouldn't have that same skill.

        Unless the 11 year old was 6’11”, 300lb and brandishing an Uzi and a flamethrower, this cop should be fired, full stop.

        Except he wasn’t “in blue” was he? He was off-duty, working as a private security guard, carrying and using police-issue stun gun. How is that even legal?

        Wtf tell me a police officer couldn’t physically control a 11 year girl old without resorting to a taser..u would think a well trained officer would be physically fit and able to do such a task.. absolutely outrageous the officer should be stood down permanently..it’s just wrong

        That’s the problem, they’re not well trained. Barbers get more training on handling out of control customers than cops do.

        Sad ain’t it a fully grown man having to tase a 11 year girl to control her..what makes it worse is the fact it was for shoplifting..this officer must be stood down permanently..disgrace to the uniform..

        Their defense in one news piece I heard was that they are permitted to use tasers on children as young as 7. No mention of maybe considering not using that level of force when a pack of Twinkies is the only loss involved the crime. The lawsuit will cost millions of Twinkies.

        But are they permitted to use police-issue tasers while off-duty working their second job in security? He wasn’t performing in his role as a police officer it would seem, yet used police ‘equipment’. Odd that.

        I've hired off-duty police in my job before. They did carry their weapons. The only time they used a taser, however, it was the on-duty responding officer they called for backup. That was an adult in a violent confrontation as well. We still got heat for it. So, I am not sure.

        That would seem a procedurally more correct way of ensuring both public safety and even-handed safe policing. I still find it odd that equipment paid for from the public purse is being used in private employment.
