I just wish they'd put the cops side of the story before they put the complainants story. But I guess sensationalism sells newspapers.

We're taking another hit (the last one was about the cop ordering the 9 year old to the ground at gunpoint) in the paper today for "treating 8 year olds like criminals."

The reporting newspaper is a rag. After the incident with the 9 year old they printed an editorial on Sunday pretty much siding with the officer. Somehow they managed not to print a few things, like the mother having a warrant for her arrest, the toy gun spray painted to look more like a real gun, and probably most importantly, they didn't print the account of an older couple who was coming out of another store and saw the whole thing, siding with the officer that he never pointed his gun at the kid when he saw it was a child.

It isn't a matter of sensationalism. If cops involved in these raids were routinely named in newspapers, their names could be searched to see if they were involved in more than one such clusterf--k, to see if there is a pattern in their behavior.
