I'm sorry, i'm with the cops on this one.


The cop fucking TASED HER IN THE HEAD. What the hell did cops do before tasers? They used "people skills" or they buckled down and ran. If he can't outrun a 14 YEAR OLD GIRL then he has no business being on the force. Furthermore, it's natural to run when you're scared. Especially when you're a dumb young teenager that doesn't know the implications. Ignorance is an excuse in the case of children. So what if she was sending naughty pictures to older men, that's her family's business and it's nothing a taser to the dome is going to remedy.


If she's sending naughty pics to older men, she's underage and that`s technically child pornography, in which case the older men in question would be taken to court, that's not a family matter, that's a legal issue.

And before tazers, cops had to run, yeah. I've got tons of stories about cops that had to run through dangerous situations to catch the perp, I have one of my dad having to chase someone down after a car chase. Took 7 blocks to get them, and that's ONLY because he slipped on a patch of ice, which was VERY fortunate, because the guy had a 6 inch hunting knife on him.

Again, I can guarentee that he wouldn't have been AIMING for her head, she probably ducked or one of the prongs shot wild, it happens, sometimes you`ll see them at two different extremes of the back. Does that make it right? No. Does that make him at fault that his weapon possibly malfunctioned? No.


And yes, it's natural for people to run when they're scared.. it's also a possibility she ran before the cop drew the tazer. Yeah, she could've been scared before he drew the tazer.. but running is still resisting arrest.

Hey it's Eddie Winslow from Family Matters :-)

I would have totally watched this; assuming Family Matters wasn't on... or Step by Step, Angry Beavers, Lexx, Brooklyn South, Knots Landing, Golden Girls reruns, and USA was off the air.

Good for him. It's high time journalists left politicians' family matters alone.

Since this was a family matter and all the kids have spoken...we should leave mom and dad handle it now

ahh memories

From Wikipedia:

The television show Doogie Howser, M.D. (1989–1993) starred Neil Patrick Harris as a brilliant teenaged doctor who was also faced with the problems of being a normal teenager, despite having graduated from Princeton University at age 10[1]. The show was set in Los Angeles and ran for four years on ABC. It was created by Steven Bochco and David E. Kelley. The soundtrack of the series is by Mike Post and uses Post's trademark mid to late 1980's Yamaha DX-7 synthesizer. The concept for the show was allegedly inspired by the story of Dr. Howard A. Zucker who became an MD at age 22 and had a cousin who worked in programming at ABC at the time.[citation needed]

Trademarks of the show include Doogie's best friend, the fast-talking and mischievous Vinnie Delpino, played by Max Casella, climbing in through his window, and Doogie writing in his diary on his computer at the end of each episode.

The show characterized the genius Howser as a normal teenager, rather than having the stereotypical traits of TV "nerds" like Screech Powers (from Saved by the Bell) or Steve Urkel (from Family Matters). Steven Bochco revealed that the show's cancellation came abruptly at the hands of ABC executives--before he and the show's staff had a chance to complete the story line.

It wasn't about war, she was protesting the Church's views on birth control, abortion and its' general ill-treatment of of women and children.

Perhaps Sinead O'Connor is angry with the pope because, in 1988, he and Carlo Caffarra of the Pontifical Institute for Marriage and Family Matters suggested that, if an AIDS-stricken hemophiliac husband could not abstain from intercourse, it was better to infect his wife than to ever resort to using a condom. Perhaps it was such systemic misogyny, ensconced in the civil laws of her native land, that gave rise to the "breach of faith" committed by O'Connor on "Saturday Night Live."

Unfortunately, such facts aren't at the disposal of the average "SNL" viewer. In a nation with a long history of nativist anti-Catholicism, it wasn't surprising that blue-collar ethnics would shortly thereafter boo Sinead O'Connor off the stage at a Bob Dylan tribute. Few (if any) reporters took the time to provide a context for O'Connor's seemingly inexplicable actions, leaving them seemingly inexplicable. (And this is not to say that O'Connor herself can't say some truly stupid things. Her defense of rapist Mike Tyson in a recent interview with Rolling Stone as a "little boy" persecuted by a "bitch" is difficult to comprehend; and, like many militant ex-Catholics, she is prone to see the sinister hand of the church everywhere - even running the World Bank - without a shred of evidence to support such beliefs.)

But without this frame, the Catholic hierarchy was able to turn ignorance to its advantage, decrying Sinead O'Connor as simply an anti-Catholic bigot - or worse. One week after the "SNL" episode, Cardinal John O'Connor wrote a rather loopy column in the archdiocesan paper Catholic New York in which he likened the Irish singer's performance to "voodoo" and "sympathetic magic." In short, his eminence resorted to an old but effective tactic long used by the Catholic church to silence and condemn unruly women: he simply called Sinead O'Connor a witch.
