There's a 10pm curfew in LA for under 18's?
Doesn't sound much like the 'land of the free' to me.
This didn't happen in the land of the free, it happened in the United States, which is the country with the highest rate of incarceration in the entire world.
Also, it doesn't matter what the kid had on his record, police are not there to punish, that is what the criminal justice system is there for. They are there to apprehend and arrest people they suspect of crimes, and it is for the courts to decide what punishment is deserved, not the police.
Oh, and I genuinely don't believe the "lots of good cops" crap. What type of good person wants to become a professional bully?
