Cops Shoot Boy, 12, Carrying 'Airsoft' Toy in Cleveland

[Reformed Bully]

53. To reply to entry #42

My point was that one of the very first entries receded to the child as a "Punk", where I come from a punk is someone who can't or doesn't know how to hold their hands or position their feet properly "like a professionally trained boxer", in s fist fight. I looked at the pictures so thoughtfully supplied by entry # 12.., that is why I asked the questions I asked.
I questioned the police department's, school administrative and this Era's American society's handling of incidents involving our children (my concern is for all of our children):
We've had kindergarten children arrested for having crying jags =uncontrolled crying, not having the vocabulary to express the reason;
We've had the schools call the police for reasons that in the not distance past were corrected by school personnel, detention, parent - teacher conferences (in person or by telephone);
And we've had numerous killed "living while young" shootings.
My point is children being children has not changed, what has changed is adults being adults.
There is another DU post, the person who called 911, said that he told the dispatcher it was probably a toy gun.
