Looks like the reason for being chased was not a scrap of colorful cloth, as there were other people in the video with the same scrap of colorful cloth not being chased.
I have no idea what the reason was, but definitely wasn't the scrap of colorful cloth, there is something else to this story.
how do you know? do you have more info about that video? mind sharing?
the video starts with the kid already being chased, do you know what happened before? that triggered the chase?
even if they commit a crime??
I'm from Brazil and "kids" under 18yo cannot be prosecuted. Drug cartels use a lot of "kids" as their soldiers.
my point was not the drug cartels, cops or the government. authority is something we learn since we are born, there is no escape, parents have authority over their kids.
my point is that kids still don't have maturity to have their own opinions, and end up being influenced by adults. a lot of times they are doing what they were told to do by adults.
that kid on that video should actually be in a sports field, not in a protest.
authority is not the same as ownership.
don't tell me... lol... I'm a parent of 3
I don't know what you call it, if it's authority, ownership or whatever word we can choose, but it's a fact that I have power over my kids, want it or not. Even if I'm a very relaxed parent, I still have power. We need to learn from very young the difference of right and wrong, we still live in a society and my freedom stops where it messes with yours. I teach my kids that all actions have consequences, good and bad, and only with authority/power/respect I can do that.
now if you want to talk about abuse of power/authority, then I can agree with you and talk a lot of shit about government/cops/etc.
well.... there's got to be a limit? or not?
should we open strip bars for kids??
so where is the limit? my last response was before reading this and fits perfectly here. I don't care about sides (israel/palestine), and I don't care if it was peaceful or not. I still think it's not a place for a kid, even worse if parents were not present.
we will never know the real truth as the video doesn't show the entire context. you can see the video was cut only to show the part that interests the party that wants to send the message. every media channel, or every repost of this video will use it as their own propaganda, not spreading the truth.
