Smacking/spanking teaches that there are repercussions for actions. Some people think this teaches children to be violent, but when the alternative is for your child to keep running into the street, I take my chances.

No, it means the parent cant figure out how to outsmart the situation and resorts to violence. That is the message passed to the child as well. Can't figure it out? Beat on it. This is what animals do.

You're attempting to reason with a child. You can do your best but how do you expect to reason with someone who has limited intelligence and reasoning. "Don't do or a or b because it can lead to x or y, and that's a bad outcome" doesn't always get the point across.
