Justified? Police use pepper spray to subdue 8-year-old

Schools are terrified of doing anything that may be violent to a kid and for good reason. They would much rather have the police come out and deal with the situation because, unlike people at a school, the police are trained in how to subdue violent individuals. Typically more weight will be given to the judgment calls of the cops over the judgment calls of a teacher/janitor/administrator. It also has the benefit of kicking most of the liability from the school and over to the police department.

Good luck with expulsion. It is extremely difficult to permanently expel a kid from school. If I'm remembering it right the school district would have to be able to provide an acceptable alternative for his education before they could remove him from this school for good.

I'm no fan of the police and excessive force...but the lil' fuck was threatening to kill people. Doesn't get more serious or disrespectful than that, he got what was coming to him.

Still, they should've pepper sprayed the Mom too. Holy WTF?!? Doesn't act this way at home? Hmmmm....maybe because you're always in the back with your legs up to get that rent money and you don't see him while he's home? Fuckin' whore.

Of course he doesn't act like that at home. When the kid runs the house and gets everything that he wants, there's no reason to threaten peoples' lives.

Kid goes to special school because he has "behavioral problems". They (and even the cops) prove to be under-prepared for his brand of crazy.

Mom claims he's an angel everywhere else on the planet, but in school. [sic]

I say the Governor should step in, take the mom at her word, and ban the little fucker from any school in the fucking state.

Home schooling FTMFW.

Then his little "outbreaks" will be for HER and HER ALONE to enjoy!

Problem solved.

..At least until he becomes an adult (assuming her denial survives the next ten years). Then he'll be an even bigger problem for the rest of us. Unless he manages to get himself institutionalized, imprisoned, or killed first.
