Smithville school resource officer on leave after using Taser to wake up a student in class
A police officer should not be used to wake up sleeping students. A sleeping student is not a discipline problem, it could be a problem at home that does not allow them to get a full night of rest. Perhaps instead of calling a police officer, you call a counselor to make sure everything is okay with that student? And worst of all, why are you even unholstering your taser for such a situation?
