Everything about this is insane. Making it illegal to walk, calling cops on kids, arresting people for any fucking reason. People created a hell hole they have to live in now.
Why is this kid walking, he should have a car. This is the USA, we don't walk here.
By walking, that kid was stealing money from oil and car corporations
I want to laugh at this but it sounds like something US leadership would say with a completely straight face.
Don't forget about the tricycle industrial complex.
Only if the kid gets a gun too
This is America after all, they've got to open carry and drive everywhere otherwise it's un-American activity. And we can't have that.
It's all nuts, but I'm okay with the idea of, hey, there's a young kid, can we check on him. Cop rolls up, you okay kid? Yes. Cool, have a day. The idea that this would escalate beyond there is insanity.
Suburban trash culture
This isn't even suburban; it's rural small-town bullshit. Atlanta has a lot of sprawl, but nobody's commuting there from Blue Ridge (yet).
Yeah, this sounds a LOT like "cops didn't have anything better to do and decided to create some excitement for themselves to make them feel like heroes."
They got some over lap but I do stand corrected
When did country folk become infected by karen police calling lol
