handcuffs for kindergarden
in a sort of follow-up to this, we have another interesting police-tactics video to consider.
Video: Police Handcuffed 5-Year-Old Girl [ap via abc news, april 23, 2005]A 5-year-old girl was handcuffed by police after she tore papers off a bulletin board and punched an assistant principal in kindergarten class, according to a video released by a lawyer for the child’s mother.
The 30-minute tape shows the child appearing to calm down before three officers pinned her arms behind her back and put on handcuffs as she screamed, “No!”
i haven’t seen the video, but you have to wonder how much of a threat a kindergardener really poses these days – they probably don’t even have scissors in the classrooms anymore or they wouldn’t be able to get insurance.
