First off, 9- year olds should not be going clubbing...

“We’re talking about two grown men in uniform with guns.”

How come they didn’t shoot her dog, and her 93-year-old great-grandmother?

armed govt agents should not be allowed to just take minor kids into custody for this kind of crap and refuse parents to come along. this is complete bullsh1t.

“The look on my daughter’s face went from humiliation and fear, to a look of sheer panic.”

Unfortunately, so many inner-city youths need a real lesson in actions vs. consequences, because they sure as hell aren’t going to get it at home.

This may be the best thing that could happen to her.

OK so when I was 9 I told an NYC cop to piss off because he had something to say about me playing Wiffle ball in the street and he threw my ass in the back of the car and took me to the station.

Taught me that the "Officer Friendly" BS that they were peddling at school was bogus, and that 90% of cops are retarded degenerate psychos on power trips.

Army of the rich.

WTH we’re talking about a fight between 9 yo kids. What are the police doing here. Insanity.

I was a kid in the ‘40s-50s. Neighborhood was full of kids about the same age. We frequently had fist fights in our yards and would be out later or the next day playing our games, etc. ......Parents considered it just part of growing up and never called police.

When about 11, I put a good whooping on a neighbor boy the same age, who was a playmate for many years. That afternoon, his dad brought him to my house (only four houses away) and demanded that I should come into the yard and fight his son again. .....My dad told him that if he wanted to force the two of us boys to fight that he would instead come off the porch and beat the crap out of the neighbor. The neighbor left.

It sickens me to see how cultural values have changed. Parents used to permit their kids to grow up while experiencing conflicts, boo-boos from wrong decisions, pride from achievements and discipline from parents when doing wrong (such as bending over bed and getting some swats from daddy’s belt).

In Portland they protest the police with pitchforks and torches.
