If you're going to call me uneducated, at least spell your words properly. Moving on now, how about you work the most scrutinized job in America. Where no matter WHAT you do, someone will always say you were wrong. They DO save lives, that is, unless you don't count police officers as people. Either way, I'm sorry your parents didn't teach you to look at things from another person's perspective. If they did, sorry.... you're still ignorant.

@MalFunkShun9339 You are the uneducated, ignorant pig. tasres do not save lives,

they kill and no kid should never be tasered, in fact

tasers should be band all over

There is alot more to the tasers than what taser international

is telling us.

Taser International is only telling us what they what us to hear.

NOW give your head a shake

These comments make me sick to my stomach. Who is anyone to judge him or his family? Underage drinking is not the issue here. The issue is the fact that a police officer used a taser of an intoxicated person. I'm not a rocket scientist or anything but i'm pretty sure you shouldn't shoot volts of electricity through an intoxicated person. The situation should've been handled differently.

@boweschristopher Uneducated, ignorant punk. Tasers can kill, yes. They also save lives.

Little bastard deserved what he got if obeyed the cops he would not have been tased these fucking hillbillies need their house check out CPS asap they proved a minor with alcohol.

"stay out of trouble dont give cops a reason to tazer you and you wont be tazed????" are you serious...this kid is DEAD..get real yo...if some one tasered your son to death you would lose it....and it sounds like those cops need to find new jobs, or get in the weight room...the fact that they could subdue a 15 year old boy is pathetic..i know a security guard that works at modelle's who would've done a better job in handling the situation.

hhhhmmmmmmm lets see here the cops follow department policy.......and there is a 15yr old with a .17 Blood Alcohol Concentration.....I got a crazy idea.....since everyone is whining about who is at fault.....HOW ABOUT FINDING OUT WHO PROVIDED THE ALCOHOL TO THIS 15YR OLD AND PROSECUTE THAT PERSON???.....guess that would make too much sense....perhaps Child Protective Services needs to investigate this house.

@timmiet47321 Cops dont get paid to fight maybe - but there is nothing more that a lot of cops enjoy than a fight - especially when they are mob handed and holding a variety of weapons - i applaud the guy who says hes going after them - i only hope he gets some satisfaction

[timmiet47321]

@cardigan3000 It's easy for you to judge someone without ever knowing what they've experienced. Let me repeat myself again. Cops don't get paid to fight people; drunk 15 year olds included.
