From what I read this is not that rare. These cops get sent to a school and the only thing they know is to treat children like everybody else. So if they don’t comply force will be applied.



My daughter was arrested in preschool at age 4. Want to know what she did? Spit on another child (assault). I had to pick her up at the police station, where she was sucking on a lollipop (and we do not give our children candy in our house). This was also in Florida.


The cops often behave like an occupying army and don’t apply any common sense. A while ago I got hit in an accident really hard. The cops asked me for license and insurance but my concussed brain couldn’t compute what they wanted and gave them all kinds of other stuff. I still remember one cop checking his gun, pulling out his handcuffs and yelling at me. Thank god another cop was calmer, took my wallet and pulled out my license. I am pretty sure I would soon have been arrested for the reason of being hit by a drunk driver in a car accident.

It probably also helped that I am white and 50 years old.
