Florida prison officials taser kids

The level of stupidity and incompetence shown by the prison officials and parents is unparalleled.  The youngest kid tasered was five years old!  How could anyone think that this was going to turn out well.  I'm shocked (poor word choice) that there wasn't one adult that put a stop to this.  FIVE YEARS OLD!  

Other than the child abuse element, I hate hearing stories like this because it gives the law enforcement and criminal justice workers a bad name.   In general, we only hear about police officers or prison guards when they make mistakes, which is a shame.  Their stress/personal risk to pay ratio is astoundingly low which leads me to believe that they are more unappreciated than even teachers.  However, for every 95 professionals in any industry, there's alway the 5 that give everyone else a bad name.
