Both were totally justified. You guys should think twice before badmouthing people who are only doing their job and keeping our schools safe.
The deadliness of 10-year olds is oftentimes underestimated, like in the present case. It is a little known fact that ALL the most vicious criminals in American history, at some point of their nefarious career have indeed been 10-year olds themselves. Surprising, isn't it ? Even worse, take any three 10-year olds and there you have it: a 30-year old and I hope nobody on this board would question how dangerous that could be. Thank God, the officer didn't have to deal with such an extreme case and we can only thank the prompt action on part of the school authorities to keep the situation under control.
So "bravo" to all the people involved. It make me sleep better knowing that our LEO don't lack people with enough guts to tase a 6-year old and that school officials are constantly on the watch and will suspend any 4th graders trying to smuggle tylenol in.
