Come to Colorado; We'll Taser Your Kids

Next time you are visiting Pueblo Colorado (most notable for being mentioned as a rival team in a South Park episode, The Losing Edge) don't bring your children.

On Thursday, Sheriff's deputies were forced to taser an "out-of-control" ten year-old boy. Apparently he "threatened them with a pipe and a stick, and threw a piece of wood at them." Fortunately, the kid was not harmed. Unfortunately, he was a foster child and had probably experienced some type of abuse in the past. So this most certainly brought up some bad memories, at the very least created some kind of fucked-up-psycho-criminal who hates cops. I would be too.


That is not even the worst part, if you do happen to bring your ten year-old son or daughter to Pueblo Colorado, they better not act up. Last month the Sheriff's Deputies (who must be awfully paranoid to be threatened by children) tased a 10 year-old girl.

I'm guessing the officers felt justified in the use of non-lethal (which are notoriously lethal for the infirm and elderly) because the precedent had already been set on a little girl. I know kids is crazy these days, trust me. But can a trained Sheriff's Deputy seriously not handle a child without the use of potential deadly force, because a stick was thrown at them?

We live in crazy times, my friends, crazy times. Hopefully whatever crazy cops decided to do this are being made fun of by their peers, because if they aren't I have absolutely no faith left in humanity. Biggest moral of this story, don't let your kids breath too heavily because they may end up in the morgue.
