Here is an excerpt from a petition to the US congress, taser torture in America – a call for Congressional Hearings.
“We call on our Congress to speak out and organize public hearings on the systemic human rights violations occurring with Federal funding against black, Latino, Native American and other Americans.
How “out of control” can a ten-year-old be? He was wielding a length of pipe and he threw a stick at the officers. He cornered himself so they decided to Taser him.
The young child who is having a tantrum continues to act up and the cop, officer Dustin Bradshaw, is kicked. The girl is 10 remember, she is not armed but she is acting up, crying, screaming and kicking. Kids do you know. Unbelievably the mother tells the cop to Taser her.
It was probably the little girl realizing the cops were coming that calmed her down. She was sitting quietly when they arrived. So leaving the question “is it right to handcuff a child” for a moment. What the hell did these cops, including a female please note, think they were doing restraining her?
What ensued is just too shocking to contemplate. The police from the Etawah district of Uttar Pradesh, India, who towered over the tiny girl, beat her up. The Station House Officer (SHO) and sub-Inspectors were involved and “decided to teach her a lesson”.
