Completely fine with me. I mean this has happened before and what if something happened if the Police didnt use spray. Then they would be yelled at for not doing so. I say better safe then sorry

No offense, but I think that's a very idiotic statement. The whole point of pepper spray is so that they don't have to use lethal force. If the situation calls for lethal force, they have a gun for that, which is a lot more likely to stop someone than pepper spray.dagens24 said:
And I believe the police were in the right to do this. He's had problems before, and the mother is most likely an enabler. The kid doesn't like being told what to do, so the mother probably just lets him do what he wants.
From TFA, "He had ripped molding from the wall and tossed chairs and a TV cart around the classroom. He had grabbed a stick and chased his teachers into the office, where they locked themselves in... At one point, police allege, he warned his teachers "If you come out, you're gonna die""flare09 said:
What would have been an appropriate level of force?dagens24 said:
-Grabbing him, possibly causing lasting physical harm to both the boy and/or the officers?
-Beating him with batons?
-Pepper spraying him?
-Tazering him?
-Shooting him?
Those are pretty much all the options you get. If the kid can't be talked down, what do you do better? I think pepper spray is pretty clearly the lowest level of acceptable force possible that would cause no lasting harm to anyone involved.
No mental issues you say?
Either that diagnoses is fucked up or you ma'am(And sir if there is one) are a terrible parent(s) and I'm just sad I wasn't the one to blow a load of liquid fire into your son's retinas.
Now if only all moms (And fathers you sexist nut jobs) were equipped with pepper spray to subdue their obese, ADD-having, attention whore skin bags there would be a lot less whining and tantrums in super markets. Only their painful sobs as they claw at their eyes.
Yeah....I don't like children.

You know that police have GUNS right? If they need lethal force, they can just fucking shoot you, they don't need a taser or pepper spray. The reason that police have those is for when they need to use NONLETHAL countermeasures.dagens24 said:
I think pepper spray was completely justified. The kid had a weapon, even if it was a blunt stick, and had threatened to kill somebody. And, despite the kids height, and weight, his adrenaline levels (always spiked when you're pissed or scared) could have given him a boost in strength. Plus I don't think it takes that much strength to cause bodily harm when swinging a long object (stick/bat/staff etc.).
In my opinion, the cops closing in on the kid would have been monumentally stupid and dangerous. He could have gotten a hold of one of the cop's weapons and then used that to hurt or kill the police or his teachers.
As for the kid saying that he dropped the stick before he got pepper sprayed, he could be lying, or misremembering what had happened. When someone is really mad they don't really think or remember clearly.

Seriously, when I was a kid, I was like that. They just held me down and told me to STFU. These teachers are pussy's. I mean that sincerely.
And to everyone saying he had a sharp object. HE HAD A STICK. IT WAS NOT SHARP. IT WAS A STICK.
He said he wanted to find a sharp object, but (i didn't watch the video here, so if i'm wrong, well, DURRRR HERP DERP on my behalf) he had a stick. He is eight. Those teachers suck. So does his mother.

The mom was asking for the special unit that deals with kids?
Does such a unit exist? I can see it now
CSI: Special Toddler Unit
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Pepper spray was the right call, I bet this kid doesn't threaten to kill his teachers any time soon. He even says "I probably deserved it"

Remember, teachers aren't allowed to so much as TOUCH a child without a lawsuit anymore. I'm sure they could have easily taken him, but they chose to call the police instead, because that's protocol and it takes responsibility from the school district for any injuries that the child may sustain.Eldarion said:
