Judith,
Would you agree that blanket statements aren’t productive? Are all blondes dumb? Are all Chinese men incredibly smart?
Not everyone from that “swamp called Arkansas” is like this. As a matter of fact, even your knowledge of the local geography is quite flawed. Not every police officer who serves in Arkansas is an incompetent. (I would think that someone as allegedly ‘educated’ as you might make better use of Boolean logic.) As far as ‘education’ is concerned, your posts were so incongruent and hideously mangled that I practically had to hold my breath and go cross-eyed to make heads or tails of them.
As for wanting someone from Arkansas to chime in, why do you need someone from Arkansas to say something about this? Do you honestly think that we are so dimwitted that we would agree with the actions of this officer? Just because I may have grown up in a small southern town doesn’t mean that I or any other Arkansan wouldn’t be able to see the folly in this policeman’s actions.
As for your comments about being glad you’re not from here, I can only agree; I am delighted that you’ve chosen not to reside here.

Tasers are marketed as ‘less-than-lethal’ weaponry, not as ‘non-lethal’.

Given this piece of information, it seems that many law enforcement agencies cannot differentiate between those two terms; ergo, they have free reign to deploy such weaponry without regard to public safety.

Idiots.

UPDATE on ABUSE OF AUTHORITY: Arkansas police Taser 10-year-old girl for not getting in the shower:

Officer fired.

But not for being a douchebag, and not for being unable to subdue a 10 year old girl without using a weapon that was meant as a replacement for lethal force…

No..

He was fired for not turning on his taser camera.

After all, that turns it into a situation of legal doubt where the taxpayers could lose a lawsuit much easier due to lack of evidence that she ‘deserved’ it.

Fair enough. Officer Dustin Bradshaw is terminated, at the very least.

But he’ll probably just get another job where he can get away with being a pig. Like mall cop. Or cop in another district.

Since we are discussing what happened to this 10 year old, remember the 5 year old boy who was handcuffed at his school, because he was acting up in his kindergarten class, and then taken to a ‘physic’ ward for examination? These were adults within the education system, they were unable to handle the situation so they called the police? Welcome to the insane world of the US LEO’s. It’s all such a very sad state of affairs. And let’s not forget the 14year old who was ‘murdered’ at a correctional Boot camp in Florida, by a bunch of self-justifying bullies, while a nurse stood by! Since that incident they have shut down the boot camps due to the overwhelming reaction of the public against such a misuse of ‘authority’. Yes taxpaying citizens still do have a moral conscience, and it must continue before it’s too late.

To Johnny Law,

Sir, here lies some history that you so much desire, it’s from a man who experienced growing up under the Nazi regime.
“Hilmar von Campe is listed in the 1992 “International Who’s Who of Intellectuals” of the International Biographical Center in Cambridge, England.” ” He is the author of “Defeating the Totalitarian Lie: A Former Hitler Youth Warns America.”
” Having grown up under the Nazis, he offers a unique perspective on the rise and fall of Nazi Germany.” ” He warns that there are many similarities between the Nazi society and America of today.”

Ahh more of the Nazi example. You are a shining light of logic. Perhaps you should read a little history before you start posting.

Welcome to the age of the ‘SS’, ‘Gestapo’ mentality era. How that so-called bully police officer can sleep at night I will never know. Does any of these ‘legalized’ bullies have any conscience? What dark souls these poor people have. They must have had traumatic experiences as children, and now want to pay ‘society’ back for the harm done to them.
Trust me, times are only to get darker people!

I’m gratified to find a few spots on the We, such as this blog, where people can speak intelligently about this. I;d sure love to hear from someone in Arkansasoutside of maybe Little Rock who could do a “what’s wrong with this picture?” with a little common sense and compassion for children. don;t they believe in child psychoogly or social welfare in that misbegotten part of the world?

there’s a photo purpoetedly of the liuttle girl on the :smokinggun.com” website. while it;s supposedly a breach of a child’s privacy to give a name or photo of a minor, it;s hard to imagine a sympathetic website owner who did his best to give this tale a human face, literally, and name could do her more dirt than that incompetent female progenitor who does not deserve the title of “mother” and the scummy good ol’ boys in the police force and the court system who really couldn’t care less about the welfare of a small child. she’s a cute, sort of pixie-ish little blonde girl whose face and hair looked perfectly clean. I worked in adolescent mental health for many eyars, and I’m a public school teacher aroudn lots of disabled and distrubed kids now, and this kid does not look like a trigger-quick nutjob at all…it’s the adults in OPzark who seem to have a little self control problem.
I’ve read the police report; she was “curled up kon the floor crying and screaming.” explain to me how that presented a danger to anyone present; you leave her there on the floor curled up until she calms down.

you know who I’d love to hear from on this; our former US President and former giovernor of Arkansas Bill Clinton. Chelsea CLinton was the same age as this little girl when her dad was governor of Arkansas, and she was all of 12 when they moved to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. you guys remember the Presidential Inaururation of 1992, when marian Wroght Edelman of CHildrens Defense Fund gave an impassioned speech about respect and dignity for the children of the US? and she was Hillary Rodham lLinton’s big buddy in that legal capacity rights for all children whether rich, middle class, or poor?

well, it’s time for Clinton to speak up on behalof of children, like himself, from less-privileged single-parented homes in his home state. tell the jucenile “jsutice” system tyhat they need to HELP children from families with serious problems, not Taser them, not charge them with crimes for being upset, not follow stupid and violent onstructions from stupid violent people.

you think that if Chelsea CLinton had a bad morning and refused to get up, the CLintons would have called the police to charge her with disorderly conduct or have her tasreed? how about the Obama children; Michelle Obama swaid clearly that she epects her daughters to make their beds in the morning, WHite House or no WHite House. it’s the children of the poor and the marginal who get abused by the clourts.

Chelsea, come out of obscurity as a financial whatever you are now, and say something in defense of this little girl, if your parents won’t do it. someone from Arkansas needs to speak up.

god, I’m glad I’m not in Ozark, Arkansas; someone might taser me for thinking children have rights.
