I decided to share this article in light of the recent attention to the tasering incident at UCLA. This is case is particularly interesting because the kid who was tasered was 11-years-old.
The 11-year-old was having a dispute with a female classmate during lunch that became physical and in order to separate the two the boy was tasered twice. He was tasered by a school resource officer with the local police department. It seems particularly worth reviewing the use of tasers especially in a Middle School were I could not imagine many of the kids are big enough that they could not be controlled by other, less harmful, means.

It is interesting that both of them were fighting, and only the boy was tasered. I am not an expert, but I do not think there is much of a difference in size between boys and girls when they are 11-years-old.
Excuse my "French," but what in the hell does anyone need at taser for in Middle School? Has violence in Middle Schools gotten that bad that an adult would feel the need to carry a taser to fend off little 4ft kids?
Solution: we need to torture the security officer who did this.
