oh noes the police made it inconveniet for suspects that fit the description.
no its not the fault of the thugs that the police were actually after. its not like they contributed to the kids being held up.
Yeah, this is the typical rhetoric from the users here who hate police and authority figures. The police made a mistake, but there was no malice here and none of the kids were hurt. If they had just cooperated, this would have been even less dramatic. Overall, this is a non-issue.
Compliance doesn't always guarantee a good outcome, because not all police and authority figures are in their right mind.
True, but compliance is still a better tactic in 100% of situations than resistance and disobedience. If you're really that cynical about police, it's an even stronger reason to comply.
KIDS dude
They're KIDS
Can you honestly blame them for being scared/nervous of a crazed cop pointing a gun at them?? That may lead to a delay in compliance
