Brickbat: Child's Play

Martin Brayley / Dreamstime

A Plantation, Florida, police officer accidentally Tasered a 10-year-old boy after warning him and his brother not to touch her Taser. Iris Stan was staying with a friend and her two sons after being displaced by Hurricane Irma and was warning the boys about not touching her Taser when she pulled the trigger, firing two prongs and striking one of the boys in the leg.

She decided to discuss gun safety on Sept. 14 because her bedroom door didn't lock and there were children in the house.

When it comes to gun safety training, youtube is your friend. She should have just shown the kids this:

I don't care how many hundreds of these anecdotes you have to give as examples, I have faith that not all police are as stupid and thuggish as they look.

it's funny how with some topics, examples are always just anecdotes no matter how many of them there are, and yet with other topics every example is a statistic showing a trend.

"Don't do this!"

Two prongs don't make it right.

That was a good two-pronged joke.

First cops hurting and killing dogs and now hurting kids. Where will it end?

[Conchfritters]

Did she say: "don't make me taze you bro"?

[Enjoy Every Sandwich]

But always remember that only police officers are capable of properly handling weapons. Because professional training!

[Unicorn Abattoir]

Don't want to be tazed like a thug, don't let a cop stay in your home like a thug.

Clearly children need to be outlawed to prevent emotional trauma to cops everywhere.
But first we have to find another funding source for social security.

I bet those kids listen the next time someone tells them not to touch their taser
