Not only is it cruel, it is deadly.

Last week I asked my little buddy to go to the farm store with me in the truck. He loves going to the Rural King with daddy in the truck.

I backed up and started down the drive and all the sudden he start kicking and jerking around making the most horrible crying sounds you could imagine was coming out of my little guy's mouth. Then I realized I had forgotten to take his shocking devise, we make him wear outside, off his neck. I felt so bad.

We only make him wear it when he's out playing in the yard with his brother so he doesn't wonder out in the street.

He wouldn't stop kicking and jerking long enough so I could undo it so I had to backed up and yanked him out of the truck and then he calmed down.

I pulled him to me and wrapped my arms around him and held him close till he stopped shaking and crying. I wiped the tears from his eyes. We final made it to the store but he didn't say a word the whole trip.

Now he refuses to go anywhere with me. He'll go with mommy but our relationship seems to be on ice for now.

I know that being shocked can shut just about any mouth up but I don't think tasers should be used for that purpose. Especially by the police.

Reality is they will only get a slap on the hand. In most places police are about power and money, just like everything else. Our speedlimits are supposed to be in place for the saftey of the public. You tell me which one is worse or more unsafe to the general public? Me a race car driver, driving north bound on 67 @ 67 mph or a cop flying thru the median doing a uturn on the hiway and catching up to me @ 90+ to give me a ticket for doing 7mph over. I've had this argument with officers, there reply is always you shouldnt be breaking the law or I've been trained for these manuvers. But they wont admit that They are more of a danger to the public than me or others. What about the cops that walk out infront of auto's at any speed forcing them to come to an ubrupt halt, that might cause a massive pileup and death or injury but my, going a few miles over the limit is worth the chance, and they claim there justified because im the one breaking the law by speeding. So you tell me who is more a danger to the life and the saftey of others. But they still claim its about saftey not money. What about officers speeding while not on a run. ever seen one of them pulled over? Driving on I70 cops from other states pass you doing 78, while there @ 90+ zoom past indiana's finest, but you are the one pulled over and ticketed! It's all about saftey not the ole mighty dollar. Voting for sheriff I want a sheriff that will make his officers obey the same laws as we do or be punished just the same. Oh wait sorry I was just dreaming its about protecting there lil society they have setup>>> Let me know what you think!

We have yet to find a law that says we can't use invisible fence gear to keep ones children safe. Don't you think it's better than them getting run over in the street ?
