Yes I'm going there and no I don't even care its time for someone too . I watched a video the other day and then found the uncut version of it . I don't and will never understand those who wish to force views and opinions upon their kids. The video box wont show I think it is not approved for share but I have posted the link . All of the pictures of the child dressed in a fake cop costume with a stuffed pig head just like dad have also became hidden ? I think that's a good sign that its not just me here . This is a cop watch group I love and support what all cop watchers do don't get me wrong . With recent events like the Kelly Tomas verdict we need more of them and we need them now. What I don't think we need is in this video watch it and then ill give you my opinions of it .
UNCUT

I was going to post the edited video as well but it seems to be gone now ? The picture shows what was found instead . Thinking back I guess I should have saved both videos but oh well too late now . A large amount of videos have gone from public to privet and some have just been deleted that might be best . In case this one disappears I will explain . It shows two small boys with a cam. chasing cops around the streets of Lake Tahoe . That's not so bad the part that gets me is the homemade cop uniform with pig head . Yes just like dad the kids now have added Cos. Play to cop watching . So you tell me is this who we are ? Have we mutated into nothing more that idiots with cams. of intimidation ? In our quest to make a change where and when did we decide that just because is a standard operating procedure ? If this is how we behave I don't think us much better . Like it or not we happen to be stuck with law enforcement . Its what some call a necessary evil in modern society . One day your son might even require the services of those guys ,I hope they don't remember his or your pig head costume . I think its great that you want to teach your kids about the law, can you also teach them to function in society without everything being a confrontation ?
Others all over the country accomplish the same tasks without the props . This kind of stuff can only add stress to an already strained relationship . Then just to take it a step further lets add children to the mix . I personally don't want to ever hear that a child at a cop watch event was injured or killed . Frankly in light of the video and pictures easily found on the web I would put as much blame on the parent then the cop . How well is it going to work out the day you little cop watcher goes to get his drivers license ? Better yet the town bully has a go at him and says he started it who do you think the cop will side with your boy ? Ever had your house broken into next time you wont be getting any of your possession back well maybe the pig head . Camera batteries run out and dark roads are everywhere think about it before instead of watching your a victim .
I question all that put kids on the front line and everyone should . The world is full of people who have let the kids lead from politics to bake sales just to prove a point . The real point is that if you put kids out in front then your argument is weak
As a parent I know kids want to be a part of what mom and dad do . They look up to us till the day they start to rebel . Let your kids be kids till then that's the age of discovery for this sort of stuff . We should teach them our values but not lead them down our paths or we are no better then our oppressors . Most of us enjoyed being kids at the age of eleven let yours do the same so you don't regret it latter .
I as a guy who regularly speaks out against the police, and posts anti cop posts on a daily basis can tell you we don't need this . I have learned to get along while keeping an eye on them in my own backyard . Today I attended a guns across America protest here in cbus . I counted six marked and two unmarked cruisers not bad for fifty people on the lawn of the statehouse with guns. We watched them they watched us we all lived and I drove home with a tail . I lost them on the freeway no worries one was waiting just off my exit to tail me back to the neighborhood . A little while latter I stopped to get some ice cream after driving my son to work, and was blocked in a parking space by one of the cops I lost . Just so he could mean mug me and run my tag or what ever .That's the way it works if chose to do what we do, and live in this world . Its our choice kids and spouses end up along for the ride don't make it a family thing . Randy Weaver made that mistake a few years ago and has lived with it every day since . Drop him an email ask him if its worth the price you might be forced to pay .
