Teen Tasered At Connecticut High School After Stealing Hamburger From Cafeteria

I know this news story is old by now, but worth mentioning. I think it's a bit over the top to have tasered him, but that's just my opinion. xp
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. -- Parents and students are outraged after police used a Taser on a teenager inside his Connecticut high school.

Middletown police say the 17-year-old student was physically and verbally fighting with school officials and a school resource officer.

That's when another officer stepped in and used a Taser.

Some observers think it was an inappropriate use of force.

"I have a lot of respect for my officers, but Tasing a kid over stealing food, that's just ridiculous,” said sophomore Geno Cuddy.

"Even if the kid is being disruptive, it's called restraining him and taking him out, not Tasing him in front of everybody and embarrassing the poor kid,” said Justina Bradley.

The student was arrested and is facing several charges.

He's being charged as a juvenile.
