School Resource Officers taser student over sagging pants

[webby]

DERBY, Kan. - A Derby High School sophomore said Friday that he was hit by a Taser and had his arm broken by two school resource officers for refusing to pull up his pants.

The Derby Police Department said it will investigate the incident. The officers work for the department.
The teen and the Police Department offered differing accounts of what happened.

Jonathan Villarreal, 17, said he was walking with friends to the bus after school on Wednesday when one of the officers ordered him to pull up his pants. He told them he could wear them how he wanted because school was out, he said.

Villarreal said he had pulled his jeans low on his hips, as is fashionable among some young men, after leaving the school.

too much?

How dumb that kid looks should have been punishment enough. I can't help but laugh at him getting tazed, but it was obviously over the line if he didn't do anything to provoke it.

No doubt he had no attitude when confronted by the cops. Teenagers are always so accommodating with requests to not have their clothing malfunction in an unappealing manner.

If the parents aren't disciplining their kids, I wouldn't want to be the teacher having to deal with them.

Instead of tasing the kid they should have just stuck him in a jail/prison and let him learn the hard way of where the whole "sagging pants" thing originated. I would smack the **** out of my future children if they dressed like a homeless jailhouse *****
