Outrage as 5-year-old girl gets cuffed by cops (instead of properly getting shot fifty times)
People can be so easily shocked and outraged.
Take the St Petersburg attorney planning legal action against some police officers:
An attorney says he plans legal action against St. Petersburg (Fla.) police officers who handcuffed an unruly 5-year-old girl after she acted up in her kindergarten class. A video camera captured images of the girl tearing papers off a bulletin board, climbing on a table and punching an assistant principal before police were called to Fairmount Park Elementary School. Then it shows the child appearing to calm down before three officers approach, pin her arms behind her back and put on handcuffs as she screamed, “No!”
Largo, Fla., lawyer John Trevena, who provided the tape to the media after obtaining it from police, says the officers went too far.
Quite frankly, the attorney doesn’t know how lucky his client was.
If it had been New York cops the 5-year-old girl would have been shot at least fifty times and her surviving family told by the mayor to shut the fuck up already and move on:
“America is a nation of laws, and though not everyone will agree with the verdicts and opinions issued by the courts, we accept their authority.”
Hear, hear.
Now move on, folks. Nothing to see here - and besides, see those cops over there? They’ve got many more bullets left in their guns and many more judges & juries in their pockets too. So, as that old TV sergeant always said at the start of the show, ‘Better be careful out there…’
