Four Providence police officers are under investigation for making a group of teenagers who were destroying mail boxes do 12 push ups. The mayor is outraged because they could have fallen on the side walk. people are saying how dare the police take the law into theit own hands and abuse these children.
According to USC 18, destroying a mailbox is a federal offense carrying a three year prison sentence. So. how many push ups do you want to do?
Outrage or thanks?

Won't see a reply here from the LWNJ's, they'd blame the cop. Say he was racist or abusing power.
So now the lying wingnut fcuktards have to throw out the non-sequiters and red-herrings and assign them to someone else.Figures, especially coming from a lying pieceofshit like obstinate.
Do you think the cops did the right thing?
Yes ! But they got caught ! -

Selective enforcement exists everywhere !just look at Obamas immigration policy to buy latino votes.
The cops were trying to do the kids a favor while teaching a lesson.
I agree ! Sometimes Corporal punisnment like push ups, sit ups, jumpimg jacks or mountain climbers is all that is needed to set an teenager head on right ! -

The courts are overburdened as it is; the cops did the old school right thing. It says they were caught in the act; hopefully they got a dose of scared straight. -

I don't think the cops did the right thing, but i'm not outraged either.
