I know, how many times have you been pulled over or hassled by the cops? Just minding my own business. An innocent man. "Officer, I just found that and was bringing it in to the police station."
"Yes Officer, I had two beers."
"Officer please stop choking me!"
Ordinarily if someone was getting hassled by the cops, I'd be on their side. But these are kids. They take advantage. If you're a six year old kid, the world is your oyster. You can shit all over everyone, right? Well, not anymore, at least in Texas. Jig is up little dudes. You start to pay early now. That cute stuff will only get you so far, and then you have to learn math and science, and we are falling way behind there as a nation according to published reports. So stop letting us down.
It's time to learn how to toe the line, or at least learn where the damn line IS. Damn!
School police officers in Texas are doling out more tickets to children as young as 6, who under past disciplinary practices would have been sent to the principal's office instead, according to a report by a Texas nonprofit.
"Disrupting class, using profanity, misbehaving on a school bus, student fights, and truancy once meant a trip to the principal's office. Today, such misbehavior results in a Class C misdemeanor ticket and a trip to court for thousands of Texas students and their families each year," says the Appleseed Texas report (PDF). It examined data from 22 of the state's largest school districts and eight municipal courts.
Over six years, school police issued 1,000 tickets to elementary school children in 10 school districts.
