This is justified?!?!?!

http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2014/08/19/sd-police-say-tazing-8-year-old-native-girl-was-justified-family-sues-156464
In a country where driving while black is a crime in a few states, we read this story where police think using a weapon (and yes, a tazer is a weapon) that causes great harm to adults is justified to be used on a child.  I'm sorry, you have three able bodied police officers there... you couldn't have subdued this child without giving her a potentially lethal electric shock?  I know it's rare, but even in adults tazers have killed.  These police deserve to be sued.   What they did borders on criminal negligence not to mention endangering the welfare of a child.   I guess it was "justified" because she was native.   Ego knows, but police brutality, justified or not, needs to stop now... Not later, NOW!!!  Okay, my soapbox is over, but this is another rant post and that's why this blog is here.   Kind of like a text version of an angry YouTube post.  Thank you for reading.

What is wrong with you people?!?!

I'm not usually this angry, except when I'm really emotionally tired out, but this needs to be said.   Why can't anyone be happy minding their own business like they used to anymore?  After 9/11 this mentality of "see something, say something" has gotten out of hand, at least where it comes to the upbringing of a child or the child's parentage.   Who cares what color the child is, if she's well cared for what business is it of yours if the child is darker than either parent.   Our culture in this country has been so intermixed with other races it's not uncommon for a child to have darker skin.   Does that mean you should love them any less?  NO!  What business is it of yours how the child is being taken care of if it doesn't match how you take care of your kids?   Is the child healthy?  Is the child happy?  If the answer to both questions is yes, then keep your mouth shut!  Stop feeling like you need to call CPS or DCYF because according to you the child is being mistreated.   That's only your opinion so keep it to yourself.  Okay soapbox over and I feel better, but honestly mind your own business and everyone will be loads happier.
