Just escort the kid outside and the problem is solved.
You really aren't serious are you? Thats exactly what the whole issue was. They attempted to escort him out, right? I seem to remember how that didn't work out.

You really need to think things out before you post.

I'm still waiting for your proposal as to how you would have handled that kid.

Much too often a police officer counts on his "authority" to order whatever he wants. That's not gonna cut it these days when more people are aware of their rights.
First of all, how are police supposed to go about their jobs without having authority?
Secondly, what rights of this kid were violated?
Did they violate his right to disturb the peace? Did they rob him of his right to physically shove cops out of his way?
His right to crash a public forum with verbal abuse was definitely infringed.

I see what you mean now. Who are the police to think they they have a right to handcuff a person, just because hes under arrest. They didn't even ask him if it was a good time to handcuff him. They just assumed since they have a "job" to protect others that somehow this means they can do so at the expense of a threatening mans freedom.

Dumb cops.
