So, exactly what type of circumstances would you expect cops to taser someone?
Surely, it they are compelled to use this form of protection, they must be dealing with some dangerous, burly, hardened scum of society, right?
Well, apparently, the criteria for applying this sort of "defense" is different in Blue Ash, Ohio.
According to reports, when a tiny 5-pound Chihuahua mix dog, the beloved pet of a local family, got out of their house when they were absent, police somehow decided to involve themselves in the situation by confronting the small pooch, even though he was on the front porch of his owners' home.
The kneejerk response of the "fellers" in uniform was to tase the wee critter.
The police officers in question allege that the adorable little canine allegedly bit one of them. But, did they ever think that the animal was defending itself, as well as the house??
No, the two cops immediately decided to utilize Plan B, by blowing away the diminutive black-and-white dog and leaving a bloody mess, plus a note behind, for his horrified owners to find.
Now, two young children are without their "best friend" because two hapless law enforcement officers decided that they needed to take down a Chihuahua to protect the "mean streets" of town.
