What are the police academies teaching officers about interacting with children ?

I am fed up with reading about cops slamming children to the floor/concrete, kicking/punching them in the head and torso, treating them like they are hardened career criminals. Disproportionately, these are children of color.

If you're a LEO reading this, STOP IT. If you see it, STOP IT. Then report it. Get these thugs off the force. Screw the Blue Line. The damage you are doing to American's children is destroying them. Would you want the children in YOUR family treated this way ?

THIS SHIT HAS GOT TO STOP.
