This video is heart wrenching. Anyone who is a parent that has kids that are old enough to be mobile should be alarmed at this. Because this could be your kid.
There is a video in the link provided below. It shows a full size male officer trying to cuff a very small 15 year old girl who had violated state curfew in Florida.

Didn't you think it was funny when this happened to that protester at the University of Florida a month or so ago?

I saw the video and the officer politely asked her again and again to stop fighting him. Anyone who is a parent that has kids that are old enough to be mobile should be showing this video to their kids and instruct them how to obey the police. It pays to obey an officer.

The minute the girl started fighting him he moved her to the front of the police car where he made sure everything was on video, knowing full well there would be people that would try to skew the truth. He warned her and warned her and only pepper sprayed her after she bit him.

After she gets home she needs to be put over someone's knee.

After watching the full video, not just the clip.. I can tell you that the police officer

1) Over 20 times.. told her to put her hands behind her back
2) She bit the police officer on the wrist
3) Called her mam, used please, thank you, and was respectful to her
4) The female did NOT listen at all and she's lucky thats all he did.
5) Repeatedly, refused arrest by failing to put her hands behind her backs to get handcuffed

It can not be my kids.. I'm teaching them to do what they are told when a police officer tells them to do something, obviously not all parents think thats important.

1 Point to the police officer for ONLY giving her pepper spray

Tasers are less-lethal weapons. They can still kill and you never know which person they could kill. Even more the tasers themselves allow cops to restrain people who they would not otherwise have reasons to restrain and arrest. They can be highly unethical in my opinion. Used as torture instruments. If a cop has a bad day and wants to arrest someone and harrasses them just enough for them to get worked up, a cop can threaten someone with a taser. If he didnt have that taser in a lot of cases he would not be able to make an arrest without it being unjustified and police brutality. I hope Ohio has more respect for people than to allow cops to use tasers as tools of fear mongering. The UF kid was tasered for asking a question. Tasers can be used to taser anyone, who has or has not broken the law. Guns cant. So these tasers are being exploited to the fullest.

You know what his question was? It was directed towards secret society's. That immediately angered the fraternal cops.

Default Haven't seen the vid yet (but that won't stop me)

Tasing vids are great! We need more of them!

How come so many of these sorts of stories seem to come out of Florida? Not just taserings and pepper sprayings, but also things like boot camp deaths, police-involved shootings (or shootings OF police), heinous crimes and mass murders, etc.?

There's something rotten in the state of Florida...
