Unnecessary roughness on a child just trying to sell some candy and chips on the subway to earn some money.
It is sad that it has come to this.
Very simple.
Democrat run city.
Democrat run state.
Mom probably had her kid doing the
illegal sales activity, he won't get a record and
she can just pick him up and take
him home no jail time.
Kid had nice shoes.
Cops were doing what cops do.
they were in a hostile environment
and they want to get home safe.
NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.
I was arrested when I was twelve.
I was hungry and got caught stealing food
not candy, but beef jerky, on a day, I ditched school.
Cop was going to just take us home,
L.A. County Sheriff cop,
but my buddy mouthed off, that was bad.
We went to jail.
No charges were ever filed.
My father beat me shitless after he picked
me up at the jail. I was on Parental "probation"
for the next 9 months.
I beat my "buddy" up later after one school
day when I chased him down and caught him.
I didn't have much to do with him after that.
Kids and cops don't mix well and it is never a good
thing for either of them.
Don't talk to cops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
