And if the lone officer had used the taser, perhaps there would have been more justification.
But the account read that the taser was used by one of the two officers that came to back up the original officer. So that means that four grown men -- three police officers and the male school administrator -- were in such a life-threatening situation when faced with an enraged 14-year-old armed with his bare knuckles, teeth and feet clad in sneakers that they had to stun him with thousands of volts of electricity. Twice.
Hm.
The answer to this problem of inappropriate use of the taser may be to use it on an officer prior to issuing it to him. In that way, he can better understand the force he's using. Non-lethal: yeah. Let them use it on someone with a mild heart condition once, we'll see how non-lethal it is.
