Just reading and watching about the eight year old boy the police pepper-sprayed because he was threatening them, his teachers, and his classmates. The comments on the roadrunner page are hilariously disgusting - what do you suppose the police should do when an eight year old is standing there with a large, sharp piece of wood saying "I'll kill you motherfu**ers," which is what he also said to his teachers. He has "emotional problems" this poor child and is in a special class for kids with emotional problems and this is the THIRD time the police have been called. I think they did exactly the right thing. Of course, the mother then exploits the situation by taking the child on ABC News - where, when the smarmy interviewer asks "did you mean it" the kid admits, "sort of." The mother, of course, is blameless, according to her, and her angelic child never NEVER has these problems at home. Yeah. Right. Sure. This will happen more and more because there is simply little parenting going on where children learn they CAN'T have everything they want, CAN'T do everything they want, aren't coddled and stroked and led to believe they are entitled to everything and I guess that includes wielding a sharp piece of wood at police officers and saying "I'll kill you motherfu**ers." But mommy coddles and blames the police and says it was unacceptable to pepper spray an eight year old, that they should have talked to the child. Yeah. Right. When the kid is wielding a potentially harmful sharp piece of wood and screaming and cursing like an out of control maniac, I don't think talk is the order of the day, do you? The pepper spray worked, was not injurious, and it stopped the little child from being insane, however momentarily, and allowed police to gain control of the situation without endangering themselves, the teachers, OR the child.
