If a police officer can’t restrain 11 year old children, should they really be police officers?
I remember the days of old, back in the early 1970’s, when I was a young freckle faced, ginger haired young scallywag playing football in the street and being chased off by the local bobby, who, if he caught you, would give you a gentle tug of the ear and possibly a soft kick up the backside for causing him the grief of running you down.
These days playing football in the street may be seen as a far more dangerous pastime with the risk of a kick up the backside being a rather more tolerable result than what has, it seems, become quite common practice for our street wise and obviously heavily threatened police officers.
It appears that even children of 11 years of age have now become the targets of police officers armed with cattle prods on wires called tasers emitting a 50,000 volt shock to its unfortunate recipients.
When police officers feel the need to resort to this type of behavior to control a rowdy 11 year old then one has to question, either the size and strength of the average 11 year old child, or the quality and tact of the average police officer.
