The use of tasers by law enforcement is becoming increasingly controversial as more examples emerge of them being used improperly and causing victims serious harm. This New Mexico teen was arguing with her mother, so her mother brought her to a police station to get help (it's unclear what kind of argument they could have been having that would warrant police intervention).The girl ran off and the police chief chased her and ordered her to stop. When she didn't, he tasered her in the head. The giant scar and stitches in the teen's head show the tasering was terribly brutal, and it's difficult to see how this could in any way be justified.

Taze first ask questions later.
Man am I glad they did not have these when I was young. I was in just enough trouble I would still feel like a pin cushion.

Good ol' unreliable cops. What was wrong with this officer that he couldn't properly restrain a little girl? He must've had too many donuts and thought the taser would reach her faster.

Every since the tasers came along the police have gone crazy with them. It's like they were just waiting for a way to shoot people with out killing them so they wouldn't be prosecuted for murder. They need to find better ways of weeding out these egotistical morons before they hit the streets.

I always thought police were bound by a force continuum where they could only apply force according to what the subject applies. I saw a video of a 70 year old women getting tazed by a 200 lb cop. Einstein once said Technological advancement is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal. We need to learn that injustice to one is injustice to all and we need to put political pressure for these police officers to be punished. "Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding" another of Einstein's quotes.

Why did he need a taser to stop a 14 year old girl o.o she wasn't doing anything besides crossing the street.

never use a weapon or force against one who is un-equal to the force used. like say a police chief using a weapon of any sort against a teenage girl.
it's dishonorable, unmanly, and unbecoming of the office given to the cop in question.

Many people think those taser lines are just small pins. They're actually mini grappling hooks. Also, the electric charge probably burnt a bit of the flesh on her skull.

Actually I have read about 5 articles on this and the reason that the wound is so large is that the barb that hit her head actually penetrated her skull and entered her brain a minuscule amount so they had to do surgery to remove it.
Isn't that special?

"Can't you see that I was only teaching her how to properly cross the street?"
Ban tazers. Officers obviously think less lethal is non-lethal. Since when have tazer been used to stop citizens?
This is not a escaping criminal or felon. This person wasn't even under arrest. Just a scared teen asking for help from the police. Perhaps that was her biggest mistake.

No, they should be used in place of lethal weapons. Not tazing freaking children. Police are abusing this great tool that could be saving so many lives.

In the video, they say he tasered her because she was running across the street and didn't look both ways. Thank goodness he did that, otherwise she could have been hurt.
