Goddamn Police

From PZ Myers:

Fire these cops.

Five twelve-year-old kids walking home from a basketball game; a policeman pulls up, opens his car door, and immediately pulls a gun on them and tells them to get on the ground. Nobody gets shot this time, fortunately, but it’s hard to watch — those poor kids are initially confused, and then terrified, and you get to hear them crying and wailing in fear as the brave police officer calmly and politely threatens them with death.

One thought on “Goddamn Police”

  1. That’s unfortunate. It’s like this will color their opinion of all police for the rest of their lives. Some folks wonder why other folks don’t respect or trust the police. Once bitten, twice shy. The police may do a lot of good will but to these kids there will always be that one time the cops pulled up to them with guns while they were just walking home from playing basketball.

    One of the kids flat out bawling on the ground while they get surrounded by police cars? Heartbreaking.
