Florida Police
 
The Memsahib's sister was telling us about a frightening incident in Florida she had heard of online. Seems a 6 yr old kid was harming himself with a bit of glass, and was threatening the school principal with the glass too. The response was to get the cops out, who promptly weighed up the situation & tazzered the kid. Bit of an over reaction to say the least.

Yep, Manc was chatting about it here: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=266189 There is some debate ove whether the force was necessary. Personally, if it was the only way to stop him harming himself and other, I say go for it. At least they didn't shoot him :o
