Just a helpful hint, the taser was a less-lethal force used to control the kid, and if it had come down to the next use of force......Taser -vs- Gun ( yes with REAL bullets ) which would you rather him use? Or would you rather him let the kid go, and have the possibilty of him harming the student that ratted him out, or the entire school? I mean, its really up to you isn't it? Since you're so quick to critize.....put yourself in the Officers position............ Maybe instead of calling the officer a " bully " go and read a officers guideline, if a suspect is out of control and they have to use force, they have to use the less lethal force first before it comes down to ending a persons life. So I personally think the officer did what was right, he used the less lethal force he could to get the young man under sontrol and he handled the situation without anyone else getting hurt. And come on,,,, a PADDLE? Yeah, taht hurts for like two minutes tops, then they are back on their rampage. I kudo the Officer, and hope that if a situation simular came about, it would be handled like this one.
