Cop who used Taser on girl: 'This is why there’s no grocery stores in the black community'
« on: September 06, 2018, 11:47:55 pm »
You can think it...but you just can't say it!

Cincinnati police investigators said an officer who deployed a Taser to stop an 11-year-old girl from shoplifting violated the department's use of force policy, but also found problems with his telling the girl: "You know, sweetheart, this is why there’s no grocery stores in the black community.”

The comment was caught on Officer Kevin Brown's body camera and is the second time the officer is accused of making inappropriate comments while doing his job. Two years ago he was written up for using a homophobic slur in reference to an alleged domestic violence victim, though the woman did not hear him.

The cop is African American.  I'd say he probably has an idea what's wrong or right in his community.

Although the cops statement was correct, I would think using a taser on an 11-year-old girl is a little much

Years ago I worked at a Juvenile detention center. One night we had an unscheduled admit (Unaccompanied minor in severe emotional distress.)
The girl was about 11 or 12 and weighed about 100 lbs soaking wet. I am 5' 10" and weighed 185 at the time and was the smallest person in the room.
When the cops took the handcuffs off her she went full ballistic. Took three of us to hold her down. I wish the police had been able to use a taser on her.

I'm not sure why he did, either. He caught her shoplifting and she tried to run away. I don't know whether she started fighting with him or not.

I agree but I don't think he knew she was 11.

My son-in-law is the Director of such a facility in Georgia.  He's a big guy, 6/4" and 200 lbs.  He has a book full of stories like yours.  He HATES those "unscheduled admits".   Hates them, cause he knows odds are there will be big trouble.  He also hates the admits that are outside of his facility's classification.  They literally have to walk on egg shells in dealing with these kids too.

The really sad thing, is all the facilities are full.  So many kids in very big trouble.
