Smitherman Tases 6-Yr-Old To Make Point
By Gerard Oh | Dealer staff writer    Wed, Jan 26, 2005
 

DOWNTOWN - Councilman Chris Smitherman got himself in the headlines again after Tasing a 6-year-old boy during Council minutes today.

As he was hog-tied and dragged away, he muttered, "See, this is why we need the ban. Any crazy like me can join the police and start Tasing kids left and right! Ban it now!"


When it was pointed out that there had not been a single instance of Taser use on a child under 11 until Smitherman did it, he grumbled something about wishing "COPS were here to film this bullshit."
