New Mexico teen girl tasered in the head by police chief (VIDEO)

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.

    Another tragic accident I suppose. Why do they feel so inferior and the need to mortally wound teenagers?

    The disgust I feel each and every time I hear a new story about police brutality never dulls. In fact, it gets worse each time.

    "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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Anybody seeing the similarities between the misuse of tasers and the headlock?

    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.

    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.

    Tazers make cops lazy . The tiny bit of skill required to subdue that girl was too much for them ..
