I think the officer was way out of line. I never heard the reason for grabbing this minor

What do you base your thinking on?

Are you talking about the kid tyring to "cop a feel" on the police officer? I'm sure the cop doesn't like that to be refered to as his "minor"

I remember the story being that they were at a gas station and the dad had expired plates. That was the only thing I have ever read as far as why the police were dealing with them at all.

If that's the case, I can't imagine why they would tell his son to go up against the car.
