You don't tie up the courts and make your municipality look like a fool in the press over a kid just being a kid. The cop is a putz, and he needs to be assessed all court costs, as well as suspended. He lacks the judgement necessary for law enforcement.

I didn’t say the cop showed good judgment, I was commenting on the dad’s culpability. It was black, it was shotgun shaped, and the kid was pointing it at other cars in the new world of drive-by shooting. Maybe you’re not familiar with the crime reports down here but the locals are. The kid is lucky that some good old boy didn’t cap his arse or that some other driver catching the barrel of something pointed at them didn’t slam on their brakes and cause a multi-car pile up, perhaps with fatalities. But dad is laughing it off. I didn’t say punish the kid, I said punish the dad. I stand by that.
