"August 26, 2006 -- Officer Eric Tatusko shoved a gun in the faces of 7 & 8 year old girls. 'One thing I know is that Officer Eric
Tatusko surely isn't Officer friendly,' says Paradise Gray. 'He should be suspended without pay immediately pending an investigation into this incident and a peek into his past. In the name of "Homeland Security" they are stepping all over "The Constitution" and the Bill Of Rights" daily. Passing mind boggling new laws, bypassing the Geneva convention and FEMA has built over 600 new concentration camps in America, who do you think that they are gonna fill them up with?" (Terrorists??)

Obviously, very few people took the time to read the actual article. The police officer pulled over a vehicle that contained a woman and her four children aged 2-8. He apporached the passenger side door, told the mother to put her hands up while his gun was trained on the 7 yr old. The 7 yr old was scared and tried to unbuckle her seatbelt so she could get in the back seat with the other kids. He told the mother to get her kid to stop moving and shut up or he'd "blow her brains out." This went on for 30 minutes until other officers arrived and told him to "drop his weapon." So, if you've answered this question that you don't think what he did was wrong because this little girl could have been in a gang or dealing drugs, then you really need to read the story. You don't pull someone over, harass them because they MIGHT be dangerous, even though they're crying scared at the end of your ****** gun (yes he ****** it) and then give them a ticket for not having up to date insurance and tow their car.
So my answer... NO it is NOT ok for the police to harass and harm our children in this manner. It is NOT ok for the police to assume the worst of 7 and 8 yr olds just because it's possible. A lot of things are possible, but you can't act on that possibility every time.

What does that have to do with Homeland Security, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights? You clearly believe anything you are told (hearsay) or read on the internet (conspiracy nerds locked in the basement until dinner time)... My suggestion is seek out professional help.

What did the girls do, I have seen 8 year old delivering thousands dollars of drugs on thier bikes, I have seen 8 year olds being brought into gangs.
So if these were street hardened gang kids with weapons,
But he could by department policy of course be suspended "with pay" since untill proved guilty he is not.
When you get robbed by some 8 year olds at knife or gun point, just tell them they were bad and that you are going to tell thier momma.
don't judge others unless you walk the dangerous streets they do.
since of course the officers story was not posted here to explain what he did ( if he even did anything)

Why the hell did he do it? How hard is it to arrest a 7 year old girl? And what would she be doing to get arrested in the first place, selling lemonade without a license?

It really needs to be understood, that police have difficult jobs.
I am in NO WAY a Law abiding citizen, but you must RESPECT the law.
Do what they tell you and Cooperate. Just like the molesting priests, there are bound to be a few bad apples.
