Little Rock - An Ozark police officer who used a Taser on an unruly 10-year-old girl has been suspended - not for using the Taser, but for not having a video camera attached when he used it.

Mayor Vernon McDaniel says officer Dustin Bradshaw was suspended Wednesday for seven days with pay. McDaniel says the suspension is for not following department procedures because he didn't have the camera on.

McDaniel says he wants Arkansas State Police or the FBI (web) to look into whether the use of the Taser was proper. The girl, who hasn't been identified, wasn't hurt and is now at the Western Arkansas Youth Shelter in Cecil.

Police were called to the home Nov. 11 after the girl's mother couldn't get her to take a shower.

Bradshaw's report says the girl was "violently kicking and verbally combative" and that she kicked him in the groin. He said he delivered "a very brief drive stun to her back."

I wonder why a father would be so critical about a police officer not being man enough to do his job, yet he is not parent enough to handle his own child! Why call the police to do the role of a parent? I personally thnk that only a poor pitiful excuse for a parent would call the police to deal with a unruly child. What's next from this rocket scientist mom and dad, call the cops for the kid not going to bed when told to? If the officer was assaulted from this child, then the child needs to be charged as a juvenile, and the parents held accountable for that. Many parents todat are bigger brats, titty babies, and problems than they children they produce. In my opinion, this child has little chance of a positive future with gutless parents not able to do the deed as a parent and love, lead, guide, and correct a child as needed.
Hey dada, be a father, head of house, and stop looking for a way to cry foul in public, you are real tough to critize the cops for taking up where you slacked up.
