"While walking the girl to the police car, she took off running through the parking lot," Nelson wrote in his report.
Since the girl was being detained and transported why wasn't she handcuffed in the first place? The officer says he suspected she was drunk? Cutting school being drunk and still no handcuffs? Seems to me this officer let the situation get out of control by choosing to be nice to this young girl and not subject her to physical harm? Just my opinion.
If this article were about that, you'd be screaming to high heaven about over-reacting jackbooted thugs being scared of little 12-year-old girls.
