Racial Hatred and Out of Control Police: Where does it stop?
A few days ago in the city of Anaheim, California a group of kids were walking home from school and one of them a girl was walking on the lawn of someone's property and the owner of the house came out and used a expletive towards the young girl and one of the boys came to her defense and told her not to disrespect her like that and the man grabbed the boy and the there was a altercation and the man pulled out a gun and fired on the ground luckily the nobody got hurt.
I know that there are kids that do and say things they shouldn't but from what I saw in the video the cop was in the wrong. He didn't say he was a police officer and he didn't show his badge and he didn't have to fire his gun at the kids. They were not immediate threat to his person and it could have been handled differently.
And when the police came instead of the man being arrested the boy was taken into custody and the other kids were arrested as well. But this has to stop we are becoming a nation were the rule of law no longer exists and people resorting to the law of the gun to resolve disputes and in many cases it becomes lethal.
What most people don't understand is when someone is not dressed in uniform people assume they were civilians and will not believe them unless they show some form of identification which the officer failed to do and its a natural reaction to want to get away from someone that is trying to take you away to God knows where.
What is more disturbing is the fact that many people are in defense of the cop saying he was justified and many people were even saying that the boy got what he deserved and in some cases many others have said he should have been shot like an animal. It was very hateful and ugly the rhetoric and hatred towards a child regardless what he said or did the boy was a minor and the adult should have known better and used better judgement.
