Police have been given the go-ahead to use Taser stun guns against children.

The relaxing of restrictions on the use of the weapons comes despite warnings that they could trigger a heart attack in youngsters.

Until now, Tasers - which emit a 50,000-volt electric shock - have been used only by specialist officers as a "non lethal" alternative to firearms.

However, they can now be used against all potentially violent offenders even if they are unarmed.

Well there's a new definition of cruelty and torture right there. Using a taser on a child and using it hard enough is strong enough to kill a child. But hey, they see it okay to do it Rolling Eyes

So I wonder how the cops are going to explain to the parents that they discharged 50,000 volts into a kid and then "accidentally" killed them.....

Parent: What have you done to my child?!
Cop: Sir, he was acting completelty uncontrollable at the time.
Parent: So you did this?
Cop: Since we had no access to guns or pistols, we felt it necessary to stun him multiple times.
