Story here.

Apparently society treats boys with the same bias as men. Four year old boys accused of sexual harassment and now a seven year old is 'cuffed and arrested. Excerpt:

'Police arrested a 7-year-old boy, handcuffed him and hauled him down to the station house on a charge of riding a motorized dirt bike on a sidewalk."
...
Kikisa Dinkins said her son was sitting on the bike with the motor off on the sidewalk when an officer grabbed him by the collar and pulled him off.

"I told them to let go of my baby," Dinkins said. "Since when do you pull a 7-year-old child by his neck and drag him?'

.... to teach a male that his life means nothing and that at any instant he could be taken by force and thrown into prison and have all his rights and freedoms stripped.

Cops just doing their jobs. If it wasn't for Misandry most of them would be unemployed. When they need to create the "criminals" they hunt out of 7 year old boys you know there are already to many of them around.

Some cops are the lowest form of life known to man - much lower then the absolute worst criminals imaginable. The reason is they are the worst criminals imaginable and they are the law so they have no consequences. The problem is that these putrid examples of humanity are so well protected and sheltered that they tend to spread like a plague through out the whole policing profession and even the cops that don't get a full blown case of the disease tend to show signs of it's influence. It's time to start holding police to a HIGHER standard then the one we expect of the general public not a lower one.

Years of service should NOT count to reduce one's consequences for criminal acts when one is a police officer. In fact there should be MORE consequences for police who commit crimes or in other ways violate the public trust because they are in a unique position of power and trust and have privileges and rights that normal citizens do not. Therefore, when they violate their positions of power and trust the breach is much greater then that of an ordinary citizen and MORE deserving of punishment.

In Canada for example, the only criminals that have the protection of a statute of limitations is police. We do not have any statutes of limitations in Canada except in the Police Services Act (which invariably police officers are charged under instead of the Criminal Code of Canada). In man y cases (for many CRIMES) the statute of limitations is 6 MONTHS to charge an officer. So if that officer can cover their actions for a mere 6 months they can often get away 100% without repercussions for crimes even if they are later discovered.

Police need accountability to the public for their misdeeds.
