One Year Old Babies Even Scare Police

I have a one year old child. It is inconceivable that someone would point a gun at my baby. I was disturbed, angry, and distraught that the police found it necessary to point a gun at a 1 year old child. Seems unreal, don't believe me? Here's the skinny. 

Two Oakland police officers pointed their firearms at a sleeping nineteen-month-old child while investigating a misdemeanor crime, according to a new report released Thursday. The sleeping child posed no threat to the officers, and yet they pointed their guns at the one-year-old anyway. The alarming incident was cited by Independent Monitor Robert Warshaw in his latest report on OPD misconduct. Warshaw noted that the department has had a history of overly aggressive behavior toward city residents. Warshaw also noted in his report that OPD not only failed to make any progress in living up to court-mandated reforms in the latest monitoring period, but actually lost ground for the second quarter in a row.

This horrific behavior is just another incident into the long list of atrocities committed by police in their course of duty. What would you do if the police found it necessary to points guns at your child? Are the police that jaded and scared that every single human being is a suspect that is in need of reasonable force to detain? In light of the recent developments in gun control policies. We might be headed in the direction of a police state where the population has no weapons but the police have free reign to impose their will.
