More times than not, when children are involved, the one that's most in trouble will be the one ALOT OF FOLKS will go after to save.
Eight kids and seven are safe outside? Where the one missing??? (Now, ALL THOUGHTS ARE ABOUT THE ONE NOT THERE.)
Yep, dad may have lost it, forgot about the others already there and decided to "one-finger-salute" the cop on site.
Now, how many know what the cop was thinking about?
And, at least in this town (La Crosse), if a cop pulls out and fires a Tazer...that cop goes through the same amount of BS as if he had pulled out his service revolver and planted a few warning shots into a fleeing suspect.
He didn't Tazer the dude for fun...he did it because, at least someone, on site, still had there head on their shoulders and wasn't being an a55hat.
The only problem now?
The cop's gotta' be wondering if Dad has him in HIS crosshairs because he prevented him from "saving his son's life."
This story is going to be filler material for some up-coming slow-news days...
