We're all a little bit safer now that cops in Miami are using Taser stun guns to protect us from children as young as six. Most recently, a twelve-year-old girl was immobilised with a 50,000-volt zap to her neck and lower back, in order to prevent her from ... um ... playing hooky from school.

Well, it's about time these menaces to public safety got what they deserve! (I mean the kids, of course.)

So remember, kiddies, the policeman is your friend ....
