[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1258803, member: 14544"] My view is probably tainted and I can live with that. Helped with a church deal of some inner city kids last week. I knew it was going to be interesting when we had a little 11 year old boy singing this song: [url=http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lypj5YO-Irc]http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Lypj5YO-Irc[/url] up and down the hall. It was like hearding kittens. Think they assumed the first 3 times you told them something, it was just for your own practice of when you really were going to mean it. Had boys trying to cross an isle to fight with girls, and girls continuing to taunt them. By the end of the night I want to throw a few to the ground, out of love of course. My wife and I had 7 boys to interact with, wasn't so bad when alone but they gave us a 3rd volunteer because we weren't enough in a bigger group setting. Could have used 2 more. We have a crisis coming. To many kids need direction that they just aren't getting. It used to be that when a cop showed up at something like that, he didn't have to say to leave. Someone yelled cops and kids looked like a covey of quail. And it didn't take backup to get the place cleared. I also can't stand the word teen being used for its purpose of imparting innocence. These boys are also teens, but theyre not innocent.

I don't fault the cop for pulling his gun at a perceived threat. He looked unorganized, but so was I last week. Took me forever to get some semblence of order. I didn't cuss, but I can see how someone would get the urge. Especially with drunk\high young people. Im betting most of us would have been fed up. I don't think he had malice intent, as his conversation with the boys seemed appropriate. But Im withhold having a firm opinion not knowing all the proceeding events. I've seen plenty of situations where an officer with an attitude generated more problems and disturbance than necessary. Just not convinced that is the case here. [/QUOTE]
