Video After The Jump
A Colorodo mom is dealing with the aftermath of the police pepper spraying her eight-year old son at school.
The police said they had to take such measures because the boy was out of control, throwing a violent temper tantrum that forced at least two teachers to hide.
The boy, Aiden told the told teachers "if you come out you're gonna die!"
When police arrived they pepper sprayed him right there in the classroom in order to subdue him.
"It burned my eyes," says Aiden
His mom Mandy is upset the police didn't try to calm him down for 5-10 minutes before spraying him.
"I think that it's excessive, I think that they could have tried to talk to him 5-10 minutes to see if they could get him to calm down, but that doesn't seem like that's what they did," she said.
Aiden had basically torn the classroom up. Police say he threw a tv cart, chairs and ripped wood trimming from the walls. They deemed him to be too out of control to subdue any other way.
Is this good police work or some lazy ass cops acting like they couldn't take down a 2nd grader?
