    HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- A Connecticut state prosecutor said Monday he is dropping his bid to continue withholding recordings of 911 calls from the mass shooting last year at a Newtown elementary school. The tapes are expected to be released to the public Wednesday.

    I don't really know why they would want to release these so badly, it's the people who were actually there, living the horror. To release them is just bringing all the pain and terror back to light. If I was a parent I wouldn't want to hear them.

    This sounds like a massive headache for the prosecution. I liked the comment at the end, "And the states key witness is dead." If they find that he was badly represented he is likely to get out of any criminal charge against him. I might just start following this case.

    Today everyone needs to COMMENT a response to this article. Please answer both: ~In your personal opinion, did the police act appropriately? ~Based on your team's taser policy (from yesterday) was this an acceptable taser deployment? Why or why not?
  • cristiangarcia23 on 15 Oct 13
     
    Well she could have posed a threat to herself or the police so yes this was an acceptable taser deployment my group policy is that no minors will be tased unless under some circumstances like concealing a weapon or posing a threat to self or others.
  • brocha249 on 15 Oct 13
     
    i think it was the right thing to do because they saved her life but according to my group policy it shouldn't be ok because we put that minors shouldn't have the taser used on them
  • meganmiller22 on 15 Oct 13
     
    I think that the police were correct by using a Taser. This girl had the intent to harm others but mainly herself. I do think there could have been better ways to prevent her from harming herself but the Taser worked just as well. My group had the policy of No one under 10 unless has possession of a weapon. This girl had a weapon (knife) in her possession AND intent to harm. Therefore, the police acted appropriately according to my group's policy.
  • Julia Gibler on 15 Oct 13
     
    I do think the police officer acted properly because there aren't many choices in a situation like that. His main goal was to save the girl from further harming herself or anyone else. Based on my group's rules yesterday, it probably wouldn't have been acceptable because the girl was under 15.
  • Jensyn Hanson on 15 Oct 13
     
    I think they did the right thing, if she was really threatening to commit suicide, I'm not sure where an 8 tear old gets that idea, but according to my group policy, it shouldn't have happened because she wasn't threatening the police.
  • kadenroen on 15 Oct 13
     
    I think what they did was wrong when i just heard about it but after finding out she had a knife and was being suicidal i think what they did was right what else should they have done so she wouldn't hurt herself? With are policy it was not but in this case it was okay.
  • tyler nielsen on 15 Oct 13
     
    Yes because she was going to kill her self and the police saved her life. So i think that they did what they should have.
  • jordan fichter on 15 Oct 13
     
    I think the police did the right thing. They're were trying to stop her from hurting herself. She was a threat to them and her self.
  • Gracelyn Sales on 15 Oct 13
     
    I think the police did act appropriately in this situation. The little girl was pointing the knife at herself and the officer. The police weren't quite sure if she would harm herself so they tased her to get the girl's behavior under control. According to our policy from yesterday this was acceptable taser deployment.
  • angel fernandez on 15 Oct 13
     
    I think the police acted appropriate because the girl tried to kill her self and based on my team this would be acceptable because we said the girl had a knife and they should have used the taser against the girl for their safety and the girls.
  • Keegan Caskey on 15 Oct 13
     
    If he had to taze her to safe her he should do it and she did point a knife at the police office Yes she threatend the police officer and herself
  • Tyler Larson on 15 Oct 13
     
    From what my group said, the cop was right when he tazered the girl
  • Ryan Kups on 15 Oct 13
     
    Police acted appropriately. According to my group the use of a taser should not of been allowed because the girl was under the age of ten.
  • Eli Rankin on 15 Oct 13
     
    I believe that the police acted appropriately because there was no other way to get her to put the knife down. They talked to her about putting the knife down to give her an opportunity for this to not happen but she did not listen and suffered the consequences. My group thought that if the person is refusing to obey police order that the taser is okay to use, and in this case exactly that happened.
  • Taylor Morgan on 15 Oct 13
     
    i fell that the officer did the right thing because the 8 year old was going to kill herself if anything the police officer saved her life and based on my teams decision it wouldn't have been ok but she is trying to kill herself
  • Payton Hiffernan on 15 Oct 13
     
    She could have harmed herself or the police, so the taser use was appropriate in this case. Based on my team's taser policy I think it would be okay to use in this situation.
  • morgan davis on 15 Oct 13
     
    they saved her life so therefore i think it was the right thing to do.
  • Cecilia Saldana on 15 Oct 13

  • keeley45 on 15 Oct 13

Bail was set at $250,000 for Melissa Ann Ringhardt, 19, said Clint Hodgkinson, chief deputy with the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

    The fact that multiple children are shooting themselves... and primarily in the head... is slightly unnerving. It's a good thing a new law is coming forth teaching gun safety to the younger generations, Missouri lead the way? http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/15/politics/missouri-first-grade-gun-lessons/index.html
