Tasing

On March 31, two police officers from Martinsville, Indiana, were suspended with pay for smacking a 10-year-old boy at a daycare and then tasing him. According to the officers, the boy was out of control, and was tased and slapped in order to stop him from hurting the other children. When the police arrived, the boy was kicking, hitting, cussing, and refusing to listen to the two men. Police chief Jon Davis is in shock that a stun gun was used on the 94-pound child.
I think that using a taser on a child that small is very dangerous. Something needs to be done to punish these officers. Just because a child is out of control does not mean that he needs to be tased. I believe that the two officers should lose their jobs.
