On Jan 29, 2010, a basketball game occurred at Monesson High School against Washington High School. During the game, two girls from different schools started arguing and soon started fighting. Soon after, the basketball players got involved. That's when the incident became dangerous. Police started to use tasers to brake the fight, however they targeted the wrong student. The victim, Mario, only wanted to get his sister, but staff targeted him as though he was the problem. A staff called a cop to assist him and tasered the innocent student. Mario was able to get away but he said after he was tasered, "I felt pain like never before". I think that this wasnt right and they shouldnt have went that far. The kids were pretty small and they could have tried to control them without using a weapon.
