I guess the police could have reacted like when I was a kid, no I didn't attack my teacher with a pointy stick! The police in those days would have simply walked over and smacked the kid silly, or rather they wouldn't have had to, the parents would have! I find it rather funny that the mother thought the police were being excessive, shooting him might have been a tad over the top, maybe wounding him would have been ok, the little monsters lucky I wasn't there I would put him over my knee like his parents obviously haven't.
"The boy's mother Mandy told 9News that police treated her son like a common criminal. She didn't excuse her son's actions, but said police could have talked him down
like officers had done two other times when police were called to the school."
My favorite part, this was the third time! If this was the monsters first offense than I think talking to the him might have been a good idea, but lets face it if this is the third time, he's obviously not learning or the punishment didn't fit the crime.
A lot of my friends used to tell me that there were no bad kids, I beg to differ, some kids like dogs are just plain bad
Tongue firmly in cheek!
