MARTINSVILLE, Ind. (AP) -- One officer called to a home day care to help control an unruly 10-year-old used a stun gun on the boy and another slapped him in the face when he wouldn't listen to them, a central Indiana chief police said Thursday.
The child suffered no significant injuries. Both officers have been placed on administrative duty while the Tuesday confrontation is being investigated.

Absolutely correct. Either spank them a little when they are little or the world will do it big time when they are big.
That’s just the unruly 10 year olds, so guess how them Hoosiers treat adults!
Read post #21 on this thread.
Are you kidding me?
“Putting all these items together, you can see the result: the citizens become so sensitive that they resent the slightest application of control as intolerable tyranny, and in their resolve to have no master they end by disregarding even the law, written or unwritten”
Was Plato writing about you?
“The jack-boot” was called because the child was hitting his adult caretakers and was destroying their property. So yes, the child was committing a crime.
And I was raised to respect authority. If you weren’t, you are part of the problem.
Are you just refusing to read what I wrote? Is that it?
I said “Which of these will cause lifelong problems?” You said “none”. And then you direct me to read supporting evidence for my claim.
If a kid is acting up in school, calling the parent is appropriate. If they are not prepared to charge the kid, the cops should not be called. A 10 YO is a child... You don’t deal with misbehavior of a child by calling the cops.
It wasn’t in school, but don’t let not reading the article ever stop you from commenting on the thread.
My dad didn’t use my middle name, that was my mom, we didn’t fear her “spankings”. My dad didn’t say anything, he just whipped the belt out.
Oh yeah, when we heard that we raced to comply.
Heh. Things have sure changed. The cop on the beat where I lived was a big mick, with hands like iron. I lipped off to him exactly once - Whereupon he grabbed me up by a convenient ear, and booted me in the butt all the way to my house. There, things only got worse, as my old man was home working in the shop. Oof. Not good.
Good question. I don’t know. I just recently watched not too long ago myself, but it was quite prescient for the time it was made.
Not only do we have newer and newer generations of cops who are becoming more robot-like in their thinking on how the law should be enforced with the equivalent of cattleprods for humans (aka Tasers), but you also have children (particularly boys) taking psychotropic drugs equivalent to Ritalin, Prozac, Luvox, et al like in the movie.
But the end of the movie is also prescient in the fact that people are waking up and trying to free themselves of this prison we have been creating for ourself here in America.
Isn’t that called double jeopardy? Did you go for for final jeopardy in that episode of your life? LOL!
Never saw the movie, but I know what car has that California license plate
I don’t remember a car at all.
Enlighten me.
That plate is on the ‘32 Ford in American Graffiti, I think that was his next movie
Ok, that makes more sense. I almost thought you were thinking that Woody Allen movie were he is frozen and thawed out 200 years in the future.
He found a VW bug in a cave and it started right up.
1138 was also the cell block that Luke told the Stormtrooper that Chewbacca was being transferred from:
“Prisoner transfer from cell block one-one-three-eight”
