What a shocker!
State Attorney Harry Shorstein said Wednesday that excessive force may have been used by police officers who used a stun gun on a 65-Pound, 13-year-old girl who was being uncooperative after they took her into custody for fighting with her mother.
The 65-pound girl was handcuffed in the back of a patrol car Feb. 7 when she was shocked twice with a 50,000-volt Taser, according to a Sheriff's Office report. Police departments in Florida and nationwide have been criticized for their use of Taser guns, which some say have caused deaths.
