Tasered 6 year old boy's Family Sues Police

In an article published in the Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel parents of a 6 year old boy will sue the police department that fired a taser at the young boy after a confrontation in the school office.  First of all, how can you call this a confrontation?  How is it possible the police or anyone else for that matter, have to resort to a Taser gun to control a six year old?  He’s six years old and a first grader!  We can’t have 6 year olds being tasered with 50,000 volts of electricity because they throw a tantrum.
