Dad Uses Toddler As Shield Against Cop's Taser

LAPORTE, Ind. (Post-Tribune) ― With a Taser pointed at him, a LaPorte man barricaded inside his home grabbed his 2-year-old daughter early Tuesday and used her as a shield.

"That's pretty sad," said LaPorte Police Chief of Detectives Clyde Crass. "We're talking about a 2-year-old child who I'm sure was frightened."

Child neglect and battery to a police officer were among the charges leveled against Brandon Hockman.

About 2 a.m., police were called to the 500 block of Scott Street.

The 29-year-old mother of the child ran toward officers, saying Hockman had thrown her down some stairs.

And, to prevent her from leaving, he let the air out of her car's tires, she said.

 *snip*

Eventually, officers forced open the barricaded rear door and hit Hockman with 50,000 volts twice from a Taser, finally subduing him.


Aren't DUmmies brave?   :whatever:

I can't imagine a father doing that.

That's because a father wouldn't do that.  :censored:

I'd do it today, but I would  NOT have done it when they were little.

How do you know the guy's a DUmmie, lug-nut, as opposed to just a scum-sucking dirtball?

Beyond the bumperstickers on their hoopdies and their innerwebs activity, not all that much.
