The mother in that video caught hitting her son didn't do it because she felt what he did was wrong. She did it because she was afraid her son would be killed by the police. My son's school was in lock down yesterday because someone spotted a person with a gun in their pants near the school. I have to send my children to school everyday and hope they come back alive. We may not be as bad as some other countries. It does not mean things are not getting exponentially worse.
