9-year-old arrested for waving toy gun

[Sportcat]

I agree with the cop. You've got a person (could be a midget) waving a gun (painted to look like a real gun) around on a public street.

Sure, in a perfect world the officer could walk up and talk niceities to little Johnny, but in the real world, little Johnny might could end up shooting the officer.

Guess we'll wait for Jesse and Al to show up.

Edited: this kind of thing makes me intemperate.

Please don't apologize for police misconduct, you only make things worse.

I did read the article:

Saunders, 28, was also charged with obstruction of justice and resisting arrest when she pleaded with police not to arrest her son and to give him a warning, according to a police report.

When informed her son was being arrested, Saunders attempted to pull her son away from the officer but moved away when told to , according to the report.but moved away when told to

Semf....

I'd try to debate further with you about the police, kids waving "real looking" guns in the street, and the "right thing to do", but your SIGNATURE says it all....

There are two opinions in this debate, Mine which is that you're an idiot, And your's which doesn't matter because you're an idiot.

I think that shows your lack of "openness" to debate..... or maybe "closed-mindedness" to other points of view. Too each his own... you do have a right to your opinion. But please respect others rights to their opinons as well....
