Indianapolis Metro Police certainly couldn't let Martinstucky Police show them up. In the latest tase-a-tot story, an IMPD officer saw two boys fighting in a park and tried to break it up. When one of the kids took a swing at the officer, he zapped the 11-year old "dry stun" style. According to the story, police were on the defense because the boy claimed his shirt had been partially pulled over his head and he thought another boy had grabbed him so he was continuing to defend himself. Don't get me wrong, a taser will surely bring a quick end to feuding 11-year olds but I'm still not sure a weapon designed for adults is such a good idea on kids. Although the police closed the case on this one, I'm sure an ambulance-chasing law firm is already putting pen to paper.
