Could not believe this...Its "child abuse" when a parent spanks their child yet the police are doing this.......something is very very wrong here!

less than lethal weapons are used more and more now a days.

I've been hit with a tazer/stun gun. Not fun, and I'm 230lbs. I shudder to think what it could do to a kid in the 65 lb range.

I am from Cloverdale... just down the road a bit.

and re-reading this story I must add... I respect LEO's and the job they do, but if any slaps my 10 year old.... Gloves are off.

There are ten year olds nearly as big as adults. This is a 4/5th grader. Although I don't condone the action, the story lacks details. For all we know s/he came at them with a makeshift weapon.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if they had just given the kid an old fashioned spanking. But.....then they would have been in MORE trouble. The kid deserved punishment, but a stun gun.....and a slap.....noticed the officers were suspended with pay, must be more to the story. Wonder why the day care just didn't call his parents and ban him? Like I said...must be more to the story.

But... Hopefully it taught him to not fight with police officers again .....
