Is the ALS similar to our ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) a group that tends to make mountains out of molehills?

Dennis Eggington, from the ALS, says there should be no circumstances where pepper spray is used against a child.

Well that's a bit of an overstatement. 10 year olds these days aren't like 10 year olds 20 and 30 years ago, where we not only feared getting in trouble at school, but even more trouble would come when our parents found out we got in trouble at school...
Is pepper spray excessive - I don't think the article gives the entire story, but I'm willing to give the police the benefit of the doubt, for now anyhow, thery were there, I wasn't. I don't think pepper spray is the worst thing that could have happened to this girl
