Because Gwinnett County police policy has no age restrictions on who should be tased. And to prove it, a police officer tased a fourteen-year-old girl while she was in handcuffs. Her crime?
During the incident in a subdivision near Snellville, Officer W.A. Bohn was working off-duty detail when he heard the teen cursing loudly near young children, according to a police report.
After the teen tried to punch the officer, he called for backup and was able to get the girl handcuffed with the help of another officer.
The girl was shocked one time with the Taser after she continued to struggle, police said.
