  • This sort of story is irresponsible and antagonistic. Do you know what was going on? Are you 100 percent certain that these kids did not commit another crime like robbery, assault, or vandalism? I don't know the full story and neither do you. So instead of taking a cheap shot at the cops, maybe you should support them and allow them to do their jobs. Kids do shoot at the cops as evidenced by the 17 year old that just shot a plain clothes cop.

    I bet if your house was being broken into you would call the cops and you would not worry how many showed up!
