Arkansas Leads the Way

Arkansas police officer uses Taser on 10-year-old girl: "Called to a home to help control an 'unruly child,' an an Ozark, Arkansas police officer was given permission by the girl's mother to use a Taser to subdue the child."

Hat tip to John ("Arkie") Duke. (No relation to the ones in Hazzard, or so he claims.)

They're tough on crime in Arkansas.

I think you have to wonder about any parent who would give the police the OK to taser their ten-year-old.

Just shows we've got to stop mollycoddling these gamins. The other day I was at a busy intersection near a school. As the light changed, no fewer than 4 cars ran the red light and the 10-year-old girl working as crossing guard did nothing. Nothing!

What are we paying these kids for, anyway?
