Now, we don't know what happened here. I'm a parent and agree I don't like the idea of my 10 or 13 year old being tased, for any reason. But then again, I'm not calling the cops for anything they ever do either, so - I'd have to adjust my frame of reference for this parent of the year nominee and try to wonder how bad this 10 year old is/was being.

It's quite easy to sit your ass at the computer and say "the cop shouldn't do that" but it really is this simple. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE FACTORS ARE AT PLAY HERE. trying to tackle a 10 year old could have caused more damage than tasing. The facts on the taser are so grossly overblown on this damn site whenever this topic comes up.

I never said all cops are pigs and am not sure how many people here did. Perhaps you could provide that answer.

I do know that some cops are assholes, thus my statement. If you don't get that, then I've given you too much credit to date, and for that I'll adjust my respect level for you.
