Hold the Aplause

Yet another police officer was recently fired following public outrage after the officer arrested a black teenager at her school.  Perhaps you have seen the news and social media reports of the incident which has caused the the masses to applaud his termination.

But there is much more to this incident than what has been reported, and maybe the officer did not act so irresponsibly as it might seem.  But like so many other incidents of this nature, no one will ever know if there was evidence to support the officer, as he put on trial by the Court of Public Opinion and fired without any opportunity to defend himself.

 We are raising a generation of entitled brats who think they are above all authority and the law. What are we teaching “children” and young adults when a 17- or 18-year-old can disrupt a class, ignore 3 adult authority figures, and strikes an officer, and the officer gets fired for handling the situation?

If you are applauding the termination of Officer Fields and defending that brat, go ahead and pat yourself on the back. It’s this mindset that’s breeding disrespectful punks and causing them to get shot. Stop making kids think they are above the law and authority.

And before anyone says, “What if that was your daughter?” I’d like to think my kid wouldn’t disrupt the class, and ignore authority figures.  If she did, she should expect a similar reaction and even worse when her father got hold of her.

But then again, maybe there is no father in her home.
