That’s not possession. Possession is control of an item. It is mere custodianship over an item, the handling of it on behalf of another and without claim of right to use. UPS drivers don’t possess the boxes in their trucks, and neither did this kid possess the beer, unless the father gave it to him to do with as he pleased. The father did not, according to the story.
Jeez I had to run out and get smokes for the old man when I was 14. But he had a printing company to run with a 100 employees. You never even thought about it.
They’re hoping someone will snap soon.
I hope it’s a sniper...and in washington.
I don’t understand your attitude about this. Are you one of the “all alcohol is evil” crowd?
Couldn’t happen in a nicer place.
Police State America. It began with the Patriot Act.
Two thubs up!
No common sense left in this world. Everything is zero tolerance.
When I was growing up my mom would send me to the store with a note that would let me buy cigs for her.
Ridiculous. Why, when I was a kid, my dad used to send me to the crack house to get his fix. Then when I got back, he would pour a fifth of Jack Daniels down my throat before he got ripped with the Chief of Police.
But you try telling that to young people today, they don’t believe you.
As I understand it, the father became belligerent with the officer who was talking to the kid. Sounds to me like at least part of the blame here was his.
“Why, when I was a kid, my dad used to send me to the crack house to get his fix. Then when I got back, he would pour a fifth of Jack Daniels down my throat before he got ripped with the Chief of Police.”
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t’ mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi’ his belt.
I once had some doltish clerk refuse to sell me a six pack of beer (yes, here in AZ) because we had a minor with us. A store manager had to intervene so I could have damned beer on a Sunday afternoon.
For that to happen, the government must intimidate its citizenry. Once the people are properly cowed by the government, the government can take of them the way it must.
From the Marxist point of view, the people are nothing more than cattle. Those cattle must know to whom they answer...they must be partially domesticated for the government to do its job.
6 packs are for SISSIES!
It is WAY past time to reverse this!
Shut up; take your beating, and we won't kill ya!

Hi Elsie. Great Post!
Obama was right: the police acted stupidly.
