They made a mistake. They did, a mistake.
The mistake resulted in:
--a kid getting misidentified
--a kid getting handcuffed
--a kid getting scared
None of that is good. But it's also not irrevocable, and the dept apologized. In this case, the greater harm is coming after cops so hard they say, en masse, "screw this, it's not worth it". And then this boy's very neighborhood is a stewpot of crime.
But whatever, we're a stupid, silly society chasing after the Outrage of the Day. So be it.
If we have officers without enough common sense to tell themselves, "this is a kid taking out the garbage" they should quit.
