Wait, what? I'm pretty sure that both tasers AND rubber bullets would hurt a LOT more then pepper spray.spartan231490 said:

I mean really.....What?
Maybe he thinks rubber bullets are like Nerf Gun bullets? I really don't understand his post either. Although I'd love to see a police officer attempt to subdue an 8 year old with a Nerf Gun. Stop in the name of the law! *Paff paff paff*Frozen Donkey Wheel2 said:
It's really annoying how the police can't do anything to uphold the law without being accused of using excessive force.
Justification is just a fancy word people use to feel better about their actions.
"Not diagnosed with any disability or mental illness"
Behavioral problem induced by improper parenting. Suppression method was acceptable.

And lost your job, maybe faced legal charges, fun stuff like that. I don't think you would have "tanned his ass" if you were the teachers in that situation.Tankichi said:
What isn't extreme? Rubber bullets? A taser? A 200 pound cop tackling an 80 pound eight year old?Astoria said:
wow after watching the video i realized this kid doesnt even have mental problems, and the article says it only happens when having to do schoolwork after recess... so yes this kid is just a spoiled brat and it was totally justified, maybe it will teach him a lesson.
this is why spanking can be a good thing lady
.
at least thats what i got from it but meh

Please don't give the media any ideas. The last thing we need is for the police to have to trade in the 9mms for nerf maveriks.Bags159 said:
It seems justified to me, although I might e bias since I dislike children, so I'd probably be yelling in the background to spray him again for good measure. I joke...mostly. In any case, I don't see any problems with how the police handled things. He'll get over it, nobody was hurt, life moves on, good job.
On a side note, I did like how they "Found nothing wrong with him mentally [in reference to him being seen by a doctor] and he was okay." There is obviously something foul going on. Your normal eight year old does not need a dose of pepper spray to calm the hell down.

Let's see...Assault, Assault of a minor, battery, sexual harassment of a minor, sexual abuse of a minor...Tankichi said:
Those are the ones I can come up off the top of my head. I'm sure there are more. How many of them do you think you can fight off in this diseased legal system of ours?
I have a question for those who think the police was over reacted, do you remember the incident that caused 15 deaths in 1999? if so do you want to see something like that again?
I don't know what is the mental state of this kid. But I do know there is a danger to the public from him. So police did what was necessary to do to protect the public. The parents should find a way to treat these issue of this kid, but until they do so the police has a job to do. If this kid killed someone that day, I am pretty sure that no one would be sympathetic to the kid. Yes, we need to be sympathize towards the kids with mental issues. But that doesn't mean innocents have to pay the price for their issue.

I think the cops acted correctly, they could have gone physical with him but decided to neutralize the threat and keep their jobs at the same time: as pointed out by other commenters grabbing him or something like that could have been seen as "extreme use of force" or something like that, which would have been bullshit in this case, the kid would have been alright... unless the cops were trained by Judge Dredd. Maybe there were other kids near him, that would have been enough reason for me to spray him on-sight.
The kid looks like he needs LIMITS, nothing more. I'm not talking about being agressive towards him or anything like that, his parents should have set things straight right from the beginning, told him who has the authority (those should be his parents, obviously) and encourage him to obey and treat the others as equals or superiors, depending on the case. I mean he is a kid, he shouldn't believe he has power over anyone else, or need it, I blame his family's situation and overall stupidity from his surroundings.
Also, WTF happened to his teachers?! They locked themselves in a room? The level of retardation shown by his elders is more worrying than any of his actions. Come on! He is EIGHT! How can one person be such a coward to loose control over a second grader and let the kid outpower him/her? Nobody loses a job for telling a kid to STFU (in a nice(r) way) or dragging him to the principal's office: by an arm, hair, ear, leg, whatever, I've seen them all, stupid parents rarely fight back and never win.
I hope he learned something in school that day.

Maybe just grab him? It's a kid... with a STICK. If cops are afraid of that then they need a different profession. Perhaps, say.... chef? Toilet scrubber? Veterinarian?Risingblade said:
I've tried subduing a hyper angry 9 year old before, they WILL hurt themselves pretty badly if you try holding them down, the pepper spray was easily the best thing they could have done, especially considering the fact he had a weapon.
Then they would get accused of manhandling the child, considering he would be kicking and screaming the entire time pepper spray was probably their best choice.xPixelatedx said:
Lol, the title reminds me of an episode from Chowder.
"Pepper spray?! That sounds DELICIOUS!" *gets sprayed in the eyes* "Ah, I was wrong! I was horribly wrong!"

Holy crap the kid is 8 and theses cops are grone men. All they had to do was walk up to the kid take the stick out of his hand and pick him up and walk out of there. You act like this kid is some kind of superhuman.
