Orlando is fast becoming the Taser capital of the world. Recently, an eleven year old was tased by a deputy at the school she attended, allegedly because she punched the deputy. Sorry, but I think if the deputy is not sufficiently wary or smart enough to be able to physically control an eleven year old, the department should review it's training guidelines rather than making excuses for the deputy.
The mentality in this area, however is tase first ask questions later. One officer, Jonathan Cute of the Orlando Police Department was sued in federal court for one of his tasing. A subesquent posting on a blog site, if believed, showed that he was extremely tase happy. He is currently on administrative detention in a police shooting of a driver where the driver subsequently died. A taser was used there also.
