5 year Old Cuffed & Stuffed.

» 30 November 2011 »

So treating kids like animals seems to be what’s hot in the streets now a days.  A story recently surfaced of a 5 year old who was handcuffed and taken in for psychiatric evaluation. So obviously this kid must have stabbed someone right? Right?

Gray says Michael was agitated when the officer entered the room, and the whole meeting ended with Michael arrested and cuffed, with zip ties on his hands and his feet.

“I was led to believe that Michael saw a police officer and attacked a police officer on sight,” said Gray, adding that that’s not what happened. She knows because she ultimately obtained a copy of the police report.

In it, the officer, Lt. Frank Gordo, says he placed his hand on Michael’s and, “the boy pushed my hand away in a batting motion, pushed papers off the table, and kicked me in the right knee.” When Michael wouldn’t calm down, Gordo cuffed Michael’s hands and feet with zip ties and took the boy to the Stockton Kaiser Psychiatric Hospital in the back of a squad car.

So apparently–a grown police officer got kicked in the knee by a 5 year old and decided it was time to handcuff the kid. I mean, what other choice would he have really? This kid is a MENACE. Being all 5 years old and weighing like a hot 40-50 pounds. This kid needed to be taken down.  Good thing the police was there to help out. Don’t they make cages for 5 year olds? He should have totally put this kid in a cage. You know. Just for safety purposes.

    This kid was destined to get screwed with – a black neuro-atypical kid is obviously a menace to society. (/end sarcasm)

    I think the officer showed tremendous restraint. The officer didn’t use his club, pepper spray, or have to subdue the child with extreme force like a knee to the back. How many other black children could say they received such restrained treatment from the police? Not many. This cop clearly will be put up for a medal sometime soon and this kid will certainly have a heightened and healthy respect for the police from now on. 

    (Reality: We live in corporate prison state where the police have way too much authority and not enough psychiatric screenings for employment – anyone read any of the news reports about Black and Latino kids being arrested in NYC public schools today? WTF is going on America?)

    Wait.  When he was picked up from the hospital, he was STILL in the zip ties.  Even if you had a situation that called for a kid to be hand cuffed (which this isn’t), you tied his hands behind his back for how long???

    That can become painful.  You cannot sit comfortably, or rest.

    How are you gonna justify leaving the cuffs on a baby for so long?

    Also, what lessons do you teach your kid about letting strangers grab them?  Let them do it whenever? The cop should not have put his hands on the child in the first place.
