This is just sick, why does it take 3 officers to beat an innocent child (teen or adult it really doesn't matter). Even if they thought he had a "gun" that was still a stupid move on their part.

I'm not bashing all POLICE OFFICERS I'm just bashing those three.

Your thoughts?

If it's a repost, mods combine the threads!!

18 isn't a child.

He's a 'teen' if he's a victim.

He's a 'man' if he's an alleged murderer.

That's how the media puts it, anyway.

Is there anything more important you would like to share on regards of this horrific incident?

Nope. Just making sure you realize that an 18yr old is not a child.

Carry on.

No, actually you didn't. You went back and edited it after the error was pointed out to you.

Nice try though.

Obviously you didn't understand why I used it in the first place, and why it's still up there.

Feeling confused?

Anyway, I'm glad the officers were reassigned and I hope they get to the bottom of this...HMM a bottle of Mt. Dew vs a Gun how can you get two very different objects mixed up? Remains to be seen!!!
