Scared Straight

What should a police officer do when a 14-year-old boy allegedly knocks a younger boy off his bike and punches him? He probably shouldn't threaten to sodomize him with his baton. But that's allegedly what Senior Constable Matthew Lake did in Australia. The boy secretly recorded Lake telling him if he heard of him doing anything like that again he would shove the baton "so far up your a—you won't know what day it is."
