    The debate over disproportionate use of force by police that followed George Floyd’s death has largely ignored some of the most vulnerable targets: children.http://apne.ws/DWDQ540

        An @AP investigation finds numerous cases in which children as young as 6 have been handcuffed, felled by stun guns, taken down and pinned to the ground by police officers. And departments nationwide have few or no guardrails to prevent such incidents.http://apne.ws/QJvL7fM

        Royal Smart remembers every detail: the feeling of the handcuffs on his wrists. The panic as he was led outside into the cold March darkness, arms raised, to face dozens of police guns pointed at him. He was 8 years old.http://apne.ws/BzReIzT

        Why "Debate" whether or not armed officers of the state should inflict violence on children? If it was "Ignored" it was by the people who are fans of police violence.

        This is why people want the police defunded and rightfully so. I saw this show up on my notifications from a local newspaper and I decided to read it.

        What about the many many more kids killed or injured in neighborhood violence? That matter more or less? Cuz, common sense says you punish bad cops and let the good ones do their job. Those kids need them. What does defunding accomplish?
