Father Tazed to Prevent Him Saving 3 Year Old

I'm sorry, but this is BS. Many of you seem to miss the point of tasers. They are not a "compliance" tools. They were developed as a alternative to lethal force. This is why they were issued to departments. So when you cheer for some cop tasing an 8 year old throwing a tantrum ask yourself this: In a situation where a taser was not available would the cop draw his weapon and use it if needed? Given that, do you think if this incident had happened 10 or 15 years ago this cop would have pulled his side arm and shoot this father three times?

I've been in almost the exact same situation and you don't think right. Discovered a fire early in the morning, briefly tried to put it out before realizing it was hopeless. You have other people calling 911 and meanwhile every one else is graabing stuff and leaving. I get outside and where's the dog?

No one thought about the dog, still in the house. Had to run back in but the fire was still contained to one room at that point. I will say this, a fire can move incredibly fast and had it been a few minutes after that I probably would not have been able to get back into the house.

The point was all the stupid second guessing.

If they had allowed him to enter the home....that woman would be burying her son.....and her husband.

AND........people would be blaming the police for letting him go back into the house.....no doubt about that.

"Why didn't the police do something? Couldn't they tell he was going to die if he went back into that house? A fire fighter in full gear wouldn't even go into that house, but they let him go back into that house! How horrible! What is wrong with them! She should sue them for not stopping him!"

The same people that are complaining they wouldn't let him back in to kill himself would be doing that if the situation was reversed.


People believe too much of what they see in movies.
