"I ask about his son. “I’ve tried to tell my son that this isn’t normal; that police officers don’t walk around doing this. He’s developed an unrealistic fear of police officers. We were bowling yesterday and he freaked out when a police officer walked in. He’s traumatized by the incident — seeing a gun pulled on his dad."
Hey, maybe this kid won't flinch when they shoot his dog? I hope the father knows well enough to NOT seek "professional" councilling for his son.
Or maybe he has a sensitivity to injustice.
