Miami Cop Pulled 5-Year-Old’s Ear and Marched Him to Squad Car in Handcuffs After School Fight Over [View all]

A Miami police officer was suspended from duty after he reportedly yanked a 5-year-old boy’s ear and handcuffed him at school.

According to Miami’s Local10.com, parent Hector Feliciano said that Officer Paul Gourrier of the Miami Police Department seized his son by the ear and then handcuffed his hands behind his back after the boy bit another child in a dispute over a toy.

The incident took place on Feb. 9 and was the latest in a series of clashes between the two boys. Teacher Michelle Svayg took the child to guidance counselor Margarita Fernandez’ office for a meeting with the counselor Officer Gourrier.

Fernandez told police that the boy continued to misbehave in her office, treating the disciplinary meeting “as if everything was a joke.”

Comment: If the kid was at a parochial school,I know his ear lobe would be a lot longer. The cop did the right thing and the kid will remember it and not have a juvie record.
