Wilson, N.C. — Wilson police said an officer used a taser on a teenager who was fighting at his school.

Police said Officer Mike Seigel was at Beddingfield High School to serve a warrant when he saw two teens fighting.

According to authorities, Seigel first ordered the students to break it up. When that did not work, he used the taser on one of them.

Police said the 15-year-old was not injured, but he was taken to the hospital to be checked out.

Police said Seigel followed police procedures properly.

Ok. Here it is. If a law enforcement officer tells a person to stop fighting and they don't. They will be sprayed with cap stun or shot with a taser. If the subject does not then comply they will recieve a strike with a baton or the officer will engage with hard hand techniques . If a weapon is displayed or the officer reasonably believes that his life or a third parties life is in danger they will be shot until the threat ceases. The tools on our belt are not for show. They are for stopping violence. It is common sense. Obey law enforcement officers and you will not get hurt or die. Its real easy! People need to take responsibility for their actions or suffer the consequences.

Everyone wants their children portected from violent acts. Good kids, hopefully, will always be good kids and stay out of trouble. Bad kids need to be taught right from wrong before they really get hurt or hurt someone else. If it takes a tazer these days, then so be it.
