I guess the cops down there arent strong enough to handcuff and bind a 13 year old girl.

AP) The sheriff in Bonita Springs, Florida, says a deputy had to use a Taser early yesterday to subdue a drunken 13-year-old girl who was pitching a fit in a hospital.

The Lee County Sheriff's office says the deputy had charged the child with loitering after spotting her wandering the streets at nearly 3 a.m. With her mother's permission, he took her to a hospital, where tests showed the four-foot-nine, 90-pound girl was under the influence of drugs and alcohol. The sheriff's office says her blood-alcohol level registered .175 percent.

The sheriff's report says the deputy Tasered the girl after she attacked him and the nurses, kicking, scratching and screaming.

A sheriff's spokeswoman says, "Just because she's 13 doesn't mean she can't harm somebody."

The Naples Daily News reports the girl now faces a string of charges.

1. New Terrorist Tactics Used by A State Police Force

They don't try to subdue anymore, they tazer. They have new training and it is brutal, they are training to be a State Police Force...

6. And the cop

tazered the child in the chest and then she was put in 4 point restraints.

IN THE CHEST? How fucking stupid do they get?

2. Not even that drunk.

I wonder how the cops would feel if somebody tasered their 13 year old daughters.

3. I've always been pretty much pro-cop, but that is beginning to change

they have a shitty job and generally they do it pretty well. But this crap of cops thinking an 82-year old man or a 13 year old girl are too much to handle and in need of some taze has got to stop.

The previous poster is right--they are training to become a brutal federal force. Maybe Liddy was more prophetic than we thought.

4. Im pro-cop when they dont act like thugs and treat people with respect

But like you said times are changing.....

5. Florida must have the wimpiest police dept in the world.

I'm sorry, but a 90 lb little girl? Throw a bedsheet over her for christ's sake and be done with it.. :/
