I am usually the first one to defend police, as I’ve got policemen in my immediate family.
Hi-ever.
I’m trying to think why they thought using pepper spray on an 8 year old boy was appropriate.
The only thing I can think of is that they didn’t want to try to physically restrain him due to potential lawsuits, so they went down the dubious pepper spray road.
I’m also wondering if this child has been tested for possible disabilities? Supposedly he is in therapy, so the answer should be yes. Right?
In the video, I first thought that the police spokesperson was the lawyer for the boy’s family, and I thought he was being sarcastic when he mentioned they were “in fear of this 8 year old boy” or whatever similar sentence he said that I’m too lazy to go back and double check.
I’m just feeling like it is alternate universe day, for some reason.
