When did cops become so cowardly and pathetic?

Police in Milledgeville, Georgia handcuffed and charged a 6-year-old
girl with assault for throwing a tantrum in school but instead of
apologizing for such unnecessary treatment, the chief of police praised
his officers for their actions.

After kindergartner Salecia Johnson knocked over a shelf
that injured the principal, cops were called, Johnson was handcuffed
and taken to the police station where she was charged with assault.

Milledgeville’s acting police chief Dray Swicord praised
the actions of the arresting officer for dealing with the deadly threat
posed by the girl.

“Our policy is that any detainee transported to our
station in a patrol vehicle is to be handcuffed in the back. There is no
age discrimination on that rule,” Swicord told 13WMAZ.

“A 6-year-old in kindergarten. They don’t have no
business calling the police and handcuffing my child,” said Earnest
Johnson, Salecia’s father.

This is just the latest example in a growing trend of
police officers treating young children as dangerous criminals. Zero
tolerance has obliterated common sense and the routine arrest of
children is another symptom that America is now a police state.

- Back in December a 13-year-old middle school student
in Albuquerque, New Mexico was handcuffed and hauled off to juvenile
detention for “burping audibly” in class.

- In January, 12-year-old Sarah Bustamantes was arrested by police in Austin, Texas for spraying perfume on herself.

- Also in January, cops in Charlton, Massachusetts were dispatched to collect an overdue library book from a 5-year-old girl.

- A 6-year-old San Francisco boy was detained for 2 hours by the principal and forced to confess to “sexual assault” for brushing the leg of his friend during a game of tag. The boy was later charged with “sexual battery”.

- A similar overreaction ensued when an Orange River Elementary School assistant principal called cops after seeing a girl kiss a boy during PE class, labeling it a possible sex crime.

- In Stockton, California, a 5-year-old boy with ADHD
was “handcuffed with zip ties on his hands and feet, forced to go to
the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation and was charged with battery
on a police officer,” after the cop claimed the boy had kicked him in
the knee.

- In Florida, 6-year-old girl weighing 40 pounds was handcuffed and then sent to a mental health facility for screaming and throwing objects in class.

These are just a handful of the cases that have occurred recently and there are probably scores more that don’t even get reported by the media.

How on earth can we expect police officers to deal with
real crime and actual dangerous criminals when a significant number of
them seem to be intimidated by children who throw temper tantrums?

When did cops become so pathetic?

While the federal government is training law enforcement
that Americans who express grievances against the state or who are
engaged in political activists represent a threat akin to terrorists,
cops are presumably becoming so terrified by this prospect that they are
even treating little kids as violent criminals.

The fact that elementary school children are being
arrested for misbehaving or being charged with sexual assault for
overenthusiastic games of tag serves as another urgent warning that both
law enforcement and the school system in America are rotten to the core
and run by complete morons who have dispensed with all semblance of
common sense.
