You know, as a child who was spanked as a kid, I thought, and have always thought it was normal. But now seeing it happen to a different kid, and knowing exactly how they feel and empathizing completely, spanking your kids makes you barbaric imo. This is nothing short of child physical abuse and psychological abuse. No kid is going to understand why the people who supposedly care for him and love him are going to savagely beat them like this, on any part of their body. 

We as a species need to grow the fuck up.

The police are not employed to protect you.  Remember that.

What the fuck?  Are police these days not trained to restrain a fucking 8 year old boy?  Is he really that threatening and intimidating?  Jesus christ.  I’m not condoning this kids behaviour at all, but in no way did he need to be pepper sprayed.  Only a fucking idiot would do that.
