The chief of police in Columbus, Ohio, apologized to a father who posted a video showing two officers blaming his 11-year-old daughter for being groomed after he called to report it.

My thoughts exactly. I agree with you.
“Law enforcement” organizations increasingly seem to be composed of evil thugs and idiots who tolerate evil thugs.
It is correct and proper for those cops to sternly tell that girl how wrong her behavior was.
It is garbage behavior to threaten her with arrest. That just rubs salt into the wound. After all, she is the victim here. A victim who made terrible decisions. But a victim.
ten bucks says the girl cop is barren...
Hopefully the daddy will learn his lesson about not calling the cops.
duh...
my point exactly.
Plenty of videos on YouTube that demonstrate LEOs are NOT our friends.
Note #1:
Next time you see a police or sheriff’s vehicle with the slogan “To Serve and Protect” consider that many LEOs and their unions interpret that as to serve and protect their own interests, paychecks, pensions and authority as well as the interest of their paymaster - the GOVERNMENT.
Note #2:
In the cases “DeShaney vs. Winnebago” and “Town of Castle Rock vs. Gonzales”, the US Supreme Court has ruled that police agencies are not obligated to provide protection of citizens. In other words, police are well within their rights to pick and choose when to intervene to protect the lives and property of others — even when a threat is apparent.
I hope they scared her straight (not gay/straight- just scared her about the repercussions possible for her actions)
Wasn’t his done after midnight?
Why would uniformed cops go banging on a door in the middle of the night to wake up the dad and start the explosively emotion-triggering accusing his 11-year-old girl of sending porn to perverts and possibly being charged for it?
This almost sounds like a plot to get the father killed when he freaked out and lost his temper and composure, this is freakish behavior.
> I hope they scared her straight… <
True that. But the cops here went overboard, and made things worse. Please see my post #23.
There is no human problem that can’t be made worse by a cop.
Not always.
For example in the following 16 minute video where it appears a good cop gets a bad cop fired and arrested.

The YouTube channel that made the video has many instances of good and bad cop behavior as well as good and bad suspect behavior and seems even handed and informative on police interactions with the public.
The father said he called at 6 p.m., but the officers didn’t show up until midnight.
Here is the video, there was no talk to the daughter at midnight.

I cannot get to the video.
But, it is a vile mistake to assume that coppers treated kid as someone making decisions. Kids cannot consent and anything they say should not be allowed as any way to excuse the monster.
This is the premise of all groomers — kids can give consent. They cannot. Anything they say or do cannot be used as excusing or in any way ameliorating the groomer’s actions.
Can coppers lecture? Sure. But, not about kid’s decisions.
The points you actually make often seem to be just the opposite. Maybe think it through before you post.
A few years back a local radio station has some coppers on anon. Question to each was: ~ “How many of fellow officers should not even be allowed on force?”
Answer was about 10%.
Not ones who cannot do the job. Ones that should not have even gotten past the inbox of HR. But, either because of hiring quotas or bigotry on part of HR they got onto the force.
Police aren’t my friend. I had a sheriff’s deputy pulled me over. Calling me names trying to get a rise out of me. I didn’t fall for it, so he didn’t shoot me.
Video is on mail online. Yes. They threatened to arrest the kid.
Do cops write the laws?
Many years ago I worked as a security card for a couple months. Had a fellow employee who was assigned to show me the ropes and who wanted badly to be a cop. He expressed positive excitement at the prospect of using weapons like a telescoping metal rod he carried on suspects. It was extremally obvious he ought not be a cop...not sure if he ever became one.
