A middle school security officer used a Taser on a sixth-grade boy to break up his fight with a girl Wednesday, school officials said.

Officials said the 11-year-old shocked twice with the device at Jonesboro Middle School weighs 200 pounds and refused to obey orders to stop attacking the girl, also 11, and the Taser was used as a last resort to prevent her from being seriously injured.

The two had been taken to the office to resolve an argument that started during lunch and spilled into a classroom.

"The male student literally jumped on the girl and started hitting her about the face and head," school district spokesman Charles White said. "He did not comply with directions to stop, and physical efforts to pull him off the girl were unsuccessful."

Both students were treated for injuries, none of them serious, White said. The boy was charged with assault and battery and was taken to a juvenile detention center, and later was released to the custody of his mother.

The officer is a city of Jonesboro police officer who carries the standard equipment of a pistol and a Taser, according to Jonesboro Police Sgt. Brad Johnson.

School officials and police said they will investigate the incident.

School board chairwoman Ericka Brown Davis said it was "unfortunate" that an officer felt it was necessary to use a Taser.

"This is not something I want to see happen to a child," Brown said. "It is disturbing when it happens to an adult, but I understand law enforcement must do their job."

What the fvck is wrong with these people?

A girl was being beaten up by a boy who *probably* weighed twice as much as her.

11 yo or not, the fvcker had it coming.

Only in Georgia do you get 200 pound 11 year olds.

 

[rooftest]

I was wondering who the hell couldn't take an 11 year-old, but 200 pounds? How the hell is that possible?

At 12 yo, my dad was 220 pounds and 6'1".

As you can imagine, he played football up until his junior year at University of Florida... GO GATORS!

Then he was deployed to the Korean police conflict.

UGA already signed the kid.

Sounds like he deserved it. Maybe he'll think twice about next time.

I love how everyone jumps to conclusions.

The girl weighed 320 and is a skilled cage fighter.

the other article I found said that the kid stopped attacking the girl during the first shock but when the officer stopped, the kid jumped on the girl again hence the second shock.

A 200lb jew.......not THAT's funny

Was his brother in his pocket?

 

[RenegadeRick]

Taser use to stop an attack in progress seems appropriate.

Is that blindingly ignorant? Maybe you need a set of these.

we'll probably find out the boy was jealous of the girl cuz she was also having an affair with a teacher.

Yeah I ended 6th grade at around 6'2" and 210....That was in the middle of a 6" growth spurt that finally ended halfway into the summer and I entered Jr. High at 6'4" 225....Football was a lot of fun....

Where were all the horny teachers when I was in school.....GDI....

 

[skinny mike]

While very funny and possibly POTD...

That, ironically, would've caused a great deal more outrage

 

[Secret Squirrel]

f**king the normal sized kids.:biggrin:

THAT'S what they meant by "big boned" .....who knew....

 

[kidwoo]

f**king the normal sized kids.:biggrin:

Nah they really weren't. I tried.

 

[Silver]

Obviously they need to arm buffet workers in Georgia with tasers.

Little rule of thumb...if you're eating ham, and realize that you're bigger than the ****ing hog was, it's time to put down the fork...

 

[ohio]

Why wait for an attack? I would have tased his ass just to see him run.

I heard the kid's actually 6'4", and Bobby Knight has actually smacked him around once already.

This thread is making me giggle like a 187-lb schoolgirl.
