Have a Nice Life: Kid Runs away from Home Five Times, So Cop Tasers Him, Charges Him with Felony Resisting

This is the problem with these stories that keep coming out about our modern law enforcement officials. It seems they will blindly follow any law to the letter and march into line as they’re told without using any critical thinking skills or common sense to actually evaluate a situation and investigate what’s actually going on first.

You might not agree with the position I’m taking on this story. You might say this is just another punk kid who deserves what he gets for not doing as he was told.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t buy into the theory that any of us are throwaways.

The story goes that a 13-year-old kid ran away. Again. In fact, it was the fifth time he had run away from home.

San Diego Sheriff’s Deputy Jeremy Banks came upon the kid skateboarding with some friends and was going to take him back home. The kid fought back. A struggle ensued. Why?

Quite obviously there’s a reason this kid keeps repeatedly running away from home. It’s not like he ran away once, or twice. FIVE times this kid ran away.

As Deputy Banks was forcing the kid into the back of his squad car, the kid bit the deputy’s arm trying to get away from him. This is what most kids would do if someone was forcing them into the back of a car against their will, just by the way.

At this point, has the deputy ascertained if the kid has any developmental or emotional problems? A history of being abused? Why he keeps running away?

Nope.

The other teens at the scene flipped on their cell phones and began capturing the struggle. As the deputy was cuffing the kid, he kept fighting. He obviously did not want to go home. So the deputy used his stun gun on the 13-year-old, hitting him in the middle of the back multiple times.

Here’s the video that’s gone viral:

The others keep saying someone should call the police but stopping short mid sentence… because that guy tasering the kid is the police. So who exactly are these other kids supposed to call?

Again, no one has ascertained why the kid keeps running away from home this entire time… why he would viciously fight a sheriff’s deputy not to be taken back home, why he would keep running away in the first place again and again.

Because, when I run away from home five times, nothing says I can’t wait to get back home like being wrestled to the ground, tased and arrested.

It could also be pointed out that if the cop hadn’t shown up and tried to shove this kid in the car (an act that, had anyone else done it who wasn’t wearing a costume with a shiny badge, it would’ve been considered violent kidnapping), this kid would not have bit anyone and he wouldn’t have been hit multiple times in the back with a stun gun.

He would’ve just continued skateboarding, most likely.

Sure, he is a runaway. However, that is not normal behavior for a young teen or else all young teens everywhere would be repeatedly running away, millions of them across the country every minute of every hour of every day completely overloading the system. That’s not what’s happening, which means this case bears some actual looking into, does it not?

But none of that matters, right?

No, guess not. Guess the kid should just be shoved in the car and carted back home, no questions asked.

Because here’s the only thing that matters (via NY Daily News):

“The video shows the actions of someone who is not complying,” Sheriff Bill Gore said in a statement. “He was wrestling with the deputy instead of just getting in the car to go home to his mother.”

The video shows the actions of someone, a thirteen-year-old kid, not complying. Doesn’t matter why he’s not complying, just that he isn’t complying.

We should all just automatically comply with being violently kidnapped against our will by people in costumes. That’s the lesson here.

After the kid was arrested, he was slapped with felony charges of resisting arrest with injury to a deputy.

So now, on top of having a home that he runs away from on a regular basis, this kid is being set up with a felony so he can be thrown into the system early before he even has a chance to grow up. He gets to be a guest in our burgeoning prison-industrial complex. He gets to be “prisonized”. He gets to go away somewhere that will in turn rape him of his childhood and any innocence he had left and teach him how to be a real criminal. He likely spends his life in and out of prison with little prospects for gainful employment or a better life. He’s effectively been thrown away now.

Again, why was he running away from home so many times in the first place? Guess it won’t matter now.

How often do things like this happen every day in this country? We have the largest prison population of any country per capita by far and growing. Longer sentences on average that other countries, three strikes laws, the failed war on drugs, the booming private prison complex… Our prison system in this country is actually big business. Lots of money to be made by big business locking people up, giving them jobs for our megacorporations where they work for slave wages of less than a dollar an hour to pay back all the fees the system can throw at them. Pretty soon everyone’s lives in this country will be in some way touched by our illustrious criminal “justice” system, either working for it or being on the receiving end.

The majority of it is extortion and the bottom line is they want everyone to comply.
