I guarantee you your two boys are about to enter a phase of life that requires them to suspend common sense at times on the name of fun. You ok with them getting shot over it or do you hope someone with some common sense will exercise judgement?



cops are not trained to avoid contact with suspects, what led to an "altercation" was the morons whacking him with a skateboard...

As far as my boys are concerned, if they put aside common sense and give into peer pressure, and do something as stupid as these morons did, I would not blame the cops... I would blame myself for not instilling enough of a sense of right from wrong and actions and consequenses...
