In this case, a seven-year-old boy was hit with a taser.  The taser is a nice alternative to being shot with a gun, but I’m pretty certain they’re being used too much.  This young child certainly wasn’t doing anything wrong, but it’s clear from the article that his dad was being annoying to the officer.  I think this is just an issue of an out of control cop, but how many of these have you heard about lately?
