I don't care if this 11 yr old told the cop to "go fuck himself," (which he didn't ) what this officer did was unreasonable and inexcusable.

I wouldn't teach or encourage my kids to say "go fuck himself" to a police officer. At the end of the day, he is the one holding the gun......

Of course not; not at all what I was saying.

@Condor5 just making sure, thx

As a good friend of mine says, "There is no such thing as a good cop." I think you have to be at least a little bit off to want that kind of authority. And even if you do go into it with the best of intentions, the culture will change you.

It makes me incredibly sad to know that POC suffer much more dramatically at the hands of the police than their white counterparts. And I wish we had better ways of holding them accountable.

Police Athletic League no less. This is supposed to be their community outreach initiative. This is why black and brown people (who aren't naive) don't trust police.

Not only black and brown.....

Whatever happened to 'boys will be boys'?
