"Who Wants a Taser?"

Ok, I know that puberty can be a pain in the ass and we all want to taser them at times. But, any responsible and moral adult doesn't give it a try.

A cop in Illinois apparently tasered two 12 yr olds in a class room setting. Now, with lawsuits pending, he is attempting to put the blame on the children. Asking the classroom for volunteers, with newspaper on the floor in case of bladder or bowel conrol issues, he has a 50,000 volt taser ready to go.

Really? This all happened with concenting school faculty. It is being questioned whether this was racially motivated, with the police officer being white and the students being black.

As a parent, I wouldn't care what the motivation was. HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? "Who wants a taser?" is the question that was posed to the class by a police officer.

In this society we teach our children to trust and respect teachers and cops. How can I as a parent, in good conscience, tell my children to do something so stupid? Obviously, all of our teachers and cops do not deserve what we are training in our children.

Be careful what you tell your children, you may just open the gate for abuse.
