Cincinnati Curfew

(Click here for related article) Cincinnati Police subdued a 12-year old with a taser after she refused to go to detention. The "unruly student" refused to stand up when officers arrived on scene. At 5'5" and 120 lbs, the officers used this protective measure after a warning believing that the child's size would make her too difficult to subdue. The student was then taken to Children's Hospital as a protective measure and then was promptly arrested, charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, and was sent to a Juvenile Detention center.

But wait... it gets better! In January, City Council took a vote on banning the use of Tasers on Children 11 or younger and by a 5-4 vote, the proposal was rejected.

That's really super awesome. Good job Cincinnati. City Council has officially earned my "What the F?" of the day.

Thanks to Tom in Boston for bringing this to my attention. It's great to make the national news for something besides Riots.
