There's a survey on the site. "Channel 2 was told the incident began after something happened at lunch to spark a verbal argument between two 6th graders. The verbal argument turned physical and a school resource officer with the Jonesboro Police Department says she had to resort to using a taser. School officials confirm that an 11-year-old, 6th grade male was tasered by a school resource officer. They say the boy was physically assaulting a female 6th grader and refused to listen to verbal commands to stop. As a last resort the officer tasered the boy twice – once to get the students separated and a second time when the boy tried to attack the girl again. The male student was taken to juvenile detention – the female was treated by emergency personnel and released to her parents. Opinions are split on whether this kind of force should be used a school" (I hope they consider why the students were not immediately separated & out of concurrent sight as soon as the verbal altercation started.) 6th grader Tasered at Middle School in Georgia |
