That cop was totally out of control and handled it inappropriately. All he did was yelled and berated the kid. By the time he half heartedly asked the kid if someone was trying to hurt him the kid was too scared to answer. It was nothing but a power play. He did not solve anything and created future attitude problems in the kid. He destroyed any positive self initiative that this feminized society consistently destroys. If the cop started out trying to find out if there was a problem and reasoned, yes reasoned with the kid, he could have turned the situation into a positive character building time. But no the cop had to use the power play. The cops should have had to pay not the taxpayers.
These cops had no idea how to deal with a child that age. They’ve probably caused him to fear and resent cops for the rest of his life. We really do need school resource officers in schools who are actually *trained* in how to work with the ages and situations they’re encountering.
