With police like these, who needs bad parents? Police handcuff and put in holding cell a Georgian ki - Polidicks

[QUOTE=thisispain;35613500]ugh spare me please. just because you were too ashamed to tantrum in public, whatever that means, doesn't mean that you were raised properly and it doesn't mean that children should be treated as criminals.[/QUOTE] You are pants-on-head retarded. Being too ashamed to tantrum in public? Basically, I was aware of what others would think of my behaviour, and I know they would be embarrassed by it. Plus, pulling a stunt like screaming at the top of my voice and rolling on the floor was never something I'd do, my parents taught me to behave in public. We can act as terrible as we want at home, in the presence of family, but outside? To the public? It just wouldn't happen. But like I said, nowadays parents seem to think it's all part of "growing up" when their children tantrum and act like terrible little shits. No. It's not fucking normal and it isn't part of growing up.

I'm actually genuinely stunned that no one has referenced Trayvon Martin and played the race card here yet... While it may SEEM that handcuffs were an excessive thing, I honestly don't feel they were in this case. If you're a police officer called to a situation like this, and you have a fairly vocal 6 year old ripping things apart, causing mayhem and refusing to calm down, you might just be inclined to cuff them to quickly and easily put an end to it. You can't just walk up and slap the kid on the backside and expect them to miraculously stop trashing the joint. No that's stupid, he should have just shot her, right? That seems to be the go-to thing for cops in the media these days.

[quote]The police report says when an officer tried to calm the child in the principal's office, she resisted and was handcuffed.[/quote] This all seems reasonable to me, and the fact she was charged with a crime makes it all sounds pretty legitimate to make that type of decision.

[QUOTE=Paramud;35613807]Mainly because the two are completely unrelated[/QUOTE] That's kinda the point. People keep calling up the Trayvon shooting in totally unrelated situations, and I'm just surprised it hasn't happened here because the kid is black and someone with a gun was involved.

This type of reaction to the situation is perfect; if they're talking about changing the policy, they should change it so that all kids throwing Chernobyl-level tantrums get sent to the station. It'll teach them a valuable life lesson about reacting stupidly around authority; I bet this kid will never try to spit on an officer when she's an adult now (unless she feels like she was being "brought down by the man" as a child)

Thank god someone finally dragged a little shit off. I'm tired of listening to those kids go mental in places like walmart or what not.

You're spot on there. I think this situation is actually perfect for bringing these matters right into the light. If someone like this child is going to absolutely flip out (and let's not go into WHY... upbringing or school situation or any of that waffle) who has the necessary power to stop them? The police are there to protect and serve, and any harmless degree of force should be readily available to use on someone under the legal age in order to maintain peace. This is the kind of situation where people would normally expect an overshow of force by the officer and a subsequent row with the legal system over it, but in this case it seemed to work perfectly... [B]"She said they were really tight. She said they really hurt her wrists," Ruff told the Associated Press. "She was so shaken up when we went there to pick her up."[/B] That's great. That's what happens when you get handcuffs put on you - they're meant to stop you in your tracks and restrain you. It's just so typical for these people to jump straight to "You hurt a child!" instead of asking "What did the child do to justify this" in which case, the answer would be perfectly adequate. What would they have preferred? To let the kid continue on an unimpeded rampage for as long as she saw fit? Not a chance - someone had to intervene. They likely called the police primarily because they were unsure how to deal with the situation, leaving the officer as the one person readily available who could. And good on 'em.

Child deserves lethal injection not just a prison cell for having a goddamn tantrum

[QUOTE=thisispain;35613325]why are you writing shaken in scare quotes? are you really completely incapable of understanding that a 6 year old with a developing mind who goes to an elementary school might be incredibly intimidated by police people handcuffing her and putting her into a fucking jail cell?[/QUOTE] I just read about a grown man being intimidated by a 6 year old girl...enough to call the police..anythings a possibility at this point.

She is six. She doesn't need to be charged with anything or transported anywhere. If she is REALLY a terror and becomes a danger to herself, then yeah, toss the zip cuffs on there. But only until her guardian arrives and only to keep her from hurting herself.
