wish that things could be simple. Black and white, no shades of gray. (I know you're not one of them, by the way.)

I thought there was no excuse for a taser in school . . . until I read about this situation. Now, I don't know. But if it had been my daughter underneath that boy, I would have wanted them to get him off her immediately. The alternative, in the past, would have been for the police officer to club him with her "baton." That doesn't sound any better than a taser to me -- and the boy could have wrestled it away from her unless she knocked him unconscious. As it is, 50.000 volts didn't stop him from attacking the girl -- the officer had to shock him twice.
