Sorry UT, you're way off on this one. The cops are there to put a stop to her destruction, not to watch while she "lets off steam" in a violent or threatening manner. They also have the right to protect themselves in the course of their duties, and physically wrestling a 14 y.o. girl is an invitation to about a dozen other lawsuits ranging from molestation to unnecessary force. Notice, also, that the threat of being tasered was enough to calm her down. That's the way it's supposed to work.
Every cop that carries one has been zapped themselves. They don't aim for the head, they hook em in the torso from close range. I say fire away.
