I have no problem with them taking down a 12 year old...For example, in a survey of 18,348 middle and high school students from Maryland, 7% of 6th graders 14% of 8th graders, and 24% of 10th graders reported being asked to sell drugs.

So because SOME 12-year-olds have been ASKED to sell drugs, it's OK to point a gun at a bong-seller's 12-year-old child?!

Kids are not only asked to sell drugs...they DO it, and are used by the bums who had them in the first place. So don't tell me about the innocence of 12 year olds today....they know more about the street and world then most of their parents. There are few if any "innocent" 12 year olds today.

Kids today have zero respect for anyone, including themselves....In recent years, the average age for first arrest has dropped significantly, and younger boys and girls are committing crimes. Between 60-80% percent of adolescents, and pre-adolescents engage in some form of juvenile offense... .

So yes in a drug raid I would suspect a 12 year old to be taken down.
