Saying "most people think" is anecdotal at best, and even if it weren't it still doesn't change the facts laid out in the topic title It does, however, change how that statement of facts is likely to be interpreted. Communication is a two-way street. If you say something in a way that people are likely to misinterpret, you are misleading people (intentionally or otherwise). VampireCoyote posted... wtf led you to think this Why do I think the kid wasn't innocent? Because he was actively participating in a crime (specifically, harbouring a fugitive). Not a crime that deserves capital punishment, obviously, nor any sort of violent response and probably not even a criminal conviction, but he was nonetheless not an innocent bystander. Why did I think the title suggested he was an innocent bystander? Mostly because catching innocent children in the crossfire is pretty routine for police these days, so my first thought was that this was another example of that and not one of using excessive force irresponsibly against somebody who was actually committing a crime (albeit a non-violent one that didn't warrant such force). --- This is my signature.

adjl 07/21/22 1:33:08 PM #71:	Gaawa_chan posted... This is a bizarre leap in logic coming from you. Reading the article again, they are pretty vague about the kid's involvement. It sounds like he followed the fugitive into the house voluntarily, which on my first pass I assumed meant he was trying to protect him in some way, but it could just as easily be read more neutrally and leave open the possibility that he was taken as a hostage, or even just that he also lived there and chose to stay inside instead of leaving when the police showed up (probably not a bad idea, given the high probability of being shot if he opened the door). Jen0125 posted... How can a child harbor a criminal?? The same way anyone else does: By using whatever means they have available to protect the person from the police. Kids have fewer means available, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Now, should they be criminally prosecuted for, say, helping to barricade a door that their older brother is hiding behind (not to imply that's what happened here, since there aren't enough details to infer that)? Potentially not. By virtue of being younger, kids (although 15 is pushing into territory where this excuse doesn't work as well anymore) aren't necessarily going to make good decisions in a high-pressure, emotionally charged situation like that, so calling it a legitimate mistake and letting them off with a warning may be reasonable. That's something that needs to be decided on a case-by-case basis, based on the details. More broadly, though, there's no reason to categorically say that a child can't help an adult hide from the law.

It's f*ing weird to be this hung up on something they're wrong about in the first place. Mostly, it's a matter of speaking accurately instead of leaving out details for the sake of appealing more strongly to the reader's emotions, which is what you've come across as doing (intentionally or otherwise). That affects people's understanding of the situation, and once they figure out the whole truth of the matter, may lead to them dismissing your position as being histrionic and alarmist and feeling that the police may have been right (see: BS0 having doubts about the police's culpability).

The situation was non-violent, so the use of violent measures to resolve it wasn't justified, made especially irresponsible by the failure to take precautions to avoid causing more serious harm (specifically, preemptively calling the fire department).
