Default Police justified in pepper-spraying violent 8 year-old boy?

Quote:
By the time police arrived, young Aidan was in a full-blown meltdown. He had ripped molding from the wall and tossed chairs and a TV cart around the classroom. He had grabbed a stick and chased his teachers into the office, where they locked themselves in. “I wanted to make something sharp,” he told NBC News. “I was so mad at them.” At one point, police allege, he warned his teachers, “If you come out, you’re gonna die!”

Police insist that they ordered the boy to drop the stick and when he refused, they squirted him twice with pepper spray.
But Aidan told a slightly different version of the story to Vieira Wednesday. He said that he had already dropped the stick when police sprayed him. “The first time they said it, I just kind of did it slowly and then once it touched the ground, that’s when it happened.”

would be nice if the mother took some personal responsibility for her childs behavior instead of just pointing fingers
