8-year-old boy pepper-sprayed by suburban Denver police
Aidan Elliott
What do you think about this case? Was the police justified to use this kind of force against the 8 year old boy?
QUOTE LAKEWOOD, Colo. -- The mother of an 8-year-old boy pepper-sprayed by suburban Denver police as he threw a violent tantrum at his elementary school said Wednesday that she wishes authorities had chosen to talk him down instead.
Police in Lakewood say they pepper-sprayed 8-year-old Aidan Elliott twice Feb. 22 at Glennon Heights Elementary School after he refused to drop a piece of wooden wall trim that he was trying to stab them with.
"I wanted to make something sharp, like if they came out, 'cause I was so mad at them," the boy said on NBC's "Today" show. "I was going to try to whack them with it."
His mother, Mandy, said she wants police in Lakewood to get special training in dealing with children. She said her son has a history of behavioral problems and has responded to rationalization in previous outbursts.https://blogs.chron.com/newswatch/2011/04/post_20.html

I don't get it. If the child has such violent behavior what is he doing in an average school? Now don't take me wrong I believe in inclusion but not at the point of putting others in danger.
