US officer fired over stun gun

A POLICE officer who used a stun gun on an unruly 10-year-old girl was fired for violating police policy, not for using the Taser gun itself but for failing to use the camera attached to it, according to the town’s mayor.

Vernon McDaniel, mayor of Ozark, Arkansas, said he received notice of Officer Dustin Bradshaw’s firing yesterday morning.

Bradshaw previously was suspended for seven days with pay.
