You will respect mah authoritay!

We’ve talked about tasers on Mefi before. We’ve all heard about the tasing of mouthy grandmothers, recalcitrant students, and diabetics. But as a method of controlling a 10 year old’s temper tantrum?

Stanford University [PDF] released a report saying that tasers should only be used in situations where the suspect is dangerous, and should not be used on children. However, there seems to be a trend where the taser is being used as
a threat and a disciplinary tool, rather than as a tool to protect officers.

Gym

Been going to the gym every day right after I drop Boy at school.  This is week two I think…or maybe week 3.  I think 2.  I started after my birthday.  So far I haven’t missed a day.  I’m doing treadmill, and bike and then a full circuit of the weight machines.  I hope to be in bikini shape by next summer.  Yay. :)
