This. If you don't want a typical police officer response, don't call a police officer. What do you expect him to do? Paddle him? Ground him? Take away his Xbox? What do you expect a police officer to do when you call a police officer because someone physically assaulted someone else? ETA "Charter school". Is that a school for gifted youngsters? Run of the mill private school? Or a school for future "teens"? ETA2 I can't believe he got fired for that... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Maybe it’s up to the principal to decide discipline, but it’s not the principals job to go hands on. So they cover their ass and call a cop-who now has to cover his ass, maybe wondering what the consequences will be for him if he leaves the kid at school and the kid get further out of control. Handcuffing the kid is bad optics no doubt, but it’s what we’ve come down to as a society. Parents don’t do their job, and everybody else has to cover their ass; the right thing doesn’t matter. |

School calls cop because six year old is combative. Cop can only do A. Nothing or B. Arrest Kid. School now sounds like your typical DV Spouse after calling the cops and bitching that her man is being cuffed and stuffed into the back of a marked unit. They wanted the cop to scare the kid, not actually take action. That’s what society does in general these days, call 911 and dump your shit on the poor bastard who was clear when the call came out.

ARFCOM continues its legendary status of being a place where people comment and debate without reading the original article or watching the attached video. This child was so out of control and violent that she was calmly sitting in a chair in the principal's office when the officer arrived. From the moment the officer arrives, the child is repeatedly apologizing, begging, and showing remorse. But, yeah, this situation is 100% analogous to an eight year old with a gun committing armed robbery; or a violent homicide by a ten year old. Maybe, just maybe, this officer has a problem in how he interacts with juveniles and the decisions he makes in regards to their health and well-being. He repeatedly bragged on video about all the young juveniles he's arrested, and tried to arrest a different six year old that same day. He also arrested a seven year old for shoplifting when the child didn't cry like his friends did when the police arrived (the others were not arrested; just the child who didn't cry). https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida/2020/02/25/body-camera-video-shows-6-year-old-orlando-girl-arrested-at-school/ Gee, why might this officer be SPECIFICALLY choosing to arrest children aged 6-8? It's almost as if he has a point to prove. Huh. Imagine that. Can't wait for the ARFCOM defense of "his ex probably made up a fake story, etc" considering the injuries were noticed at school, and the case was investigated by the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Apopka Police, and DCF before an arrest was made. When two of your neighboring departments believe you committed felony child abuse, perhaps there's something to it? It absolutely can't be that this guy has a chip on his shoulder and a point to prove. He's really just out there trying to protect us all from the evil six year olds. At least he's not beating the shit out of them anymore. That's a pretty major improvement. I think a medal, a ceremony, and a hefty pay raise are in order.

Over the course of Turner’s 23-year tenure at OPD prior to retiring last year, he was disciplined seven times for violations of department policy that ranged from unsafe driving to a child-abuse arrest in which he was accused of injuring his 7-year-old son, record released Tuesday showed. He was also accused of sending threatening text messages to his ex-wife in 2009 and racial profiling, records show. Gee, why might this officer be SPECIFICALLY choosing to arrest children aged 6-8? It's almost as if he has a point to prove. An Orlando police officer was charged Thursday with aggravated child abuse after officials found welts and bruises on his 7-year-old son's arms and chest, Apopka police said.
In an interview Thursday night, Turner said he was surprised at being arrested and denied severely beating the child. "Don't let this stop you from disciplining your children," said Turner. Turner received oral reprimands after two internal affairs investigations by Orlando police. In 1996, he was cited for "substandard performance" after he lost the wallet of a suspect he arrested. Investigators from the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the state Department of Children & Families found the injuries during a visit to the boy's school, Lovell Elementary School, near Apopka.

How are juvenile arrests actually conducted? In NC, it takes an act of Congress to get a secure custody order which is what is needed for a kid to go to a juvenile detention facility. Other than that, the kid is transported to the team office where a parent/guardian is contacted and either comes and gets the kid or the officer transports the kid to the parent’s location.
Also; 6 is the minimum age were a kid can be criminally charged with an offense |

Quoted: You ever seen a six year old talk about graphic sex acts and capable of willfully assaulting someone with the intent to maliciously wound them? I have. Welcome to public school and the ghetto. Some people can't grasp how broken a six year old can be because they were raised in a more or less traditional setting. Snip View Quote "So do you work at the base? "No, counselor at the Juvenile detention facility" So he starts telling me stories of his job site, think of the worst kind of Tarantino horror shock Lord of the flies film, but with 7-10 year olds. To summarize everything, the kids have to shower one at a time, or they will all start raping each other, 7 year olds. Violent assaults are daily. The guards male and female have gotten in trouble for sneaking in contraband and fucking them. Then they get out, because "they just kids" and they go on to abuse kids at school/daycare, eventually get caught, back in the system, but now more victims (who may also end up in the system). The system is not designed to heal broken kids, just put them in a cell with other broken kids to learn how to be better abusers and then get out, come back in, lather rinse repeat. The court system has found themselves a self licking ice cream cone, where court/legal services will always be in demand, as they will always have a healthy supply of criminals. Which is how we got here... "The majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by a small number of persistent violent offenders, typically males, characterized by early onset of violent criminality, substance abuse, personality disorders, and nonviolent criminality." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3969807/ There are kids with no parents, no role models, no morals, and exposed to violence and sex abuse, drug and gang culture since they could remember. But we can't talk about this, we can only discuss getting "guns off the street". They are perpetuating violence, by ignoring the sociocultural causes of violence in our urban communities. I'm all about locking up offenders. But if this system is not addressed and seriously upgraded/reformed, then they will use it as an excuse to take your rights to defend yourself away, and we will still have a permanent criminal underclass. |

I’m not supporting this cop handcuffing this girl at 6 years old who wasn’t combative with him. What I’m trying to point out is, transporting her out of the school isn’t necessary an arrest since she’s a juvenile. In TX there is no criminal culpability under 10, but there are instances where when a cop on a scene may have to remove a 9 year old from a situation. Since there is no criminal culpability, it would not be an “arrest.” You just gotta get that 2cents in don’t you... |

Meh, taking children out of situations they are violent is common, usually it's from the home. It's a mental hold and not an arrest. Essentially, they are feral animals. The only one I had to ziptie (Handcuffs don't fit) was trying to gouge her own eyes out. Did a damn good job on her mom too. EMS had to treat her for cuts since her little darling got ahold of a piece of broken mirror.
That kid should be in her 20's by now if she's not dead and I guarantee she's more violent than she was at age 8. |

Dealing with children is literally my life. Foster parenting and parenting my adopted kids is what my whole life revolves around. We've had well over a hundred kids come and go from our home. Probably closer to two hundred. I I have never encountered a child whether it be a teenager or a six year old that required me to even contemplate handcuffs/zip ties. Ever. I've been struck, spit on, and shoved. I've never needed to restrain a child with any kind of device to make myself or them 'safer.' I've always been able to deescalate and I've NEVER had training in the art of deescalation ... yet, I can still do it and no one dies. I wonder why that is. There is a whole spectrum of options between 'ignore it, hoping it goes away' and 'arrest'. The fact that you see only two options is very telling. And it's part of the problem |
