Didn't think the cops reaction


Hear a kid say the mirror did it. Grab him, drag him, put a terrified look on, shove him in a cop car. Don't try to console him or listen to him. Just put him away

That's how we do it in America.

I want Sean Whalen! I want him bad!

Yeah,be glad they didn't just shoot him!!

He wasn't black.

Put yourself in the cops shoes. You would immediately believe he just murdered his sister. It's not their job to play counselor.

^ Nuh, he's talking about the kid at the beginning. And yeh, do you know how careful cops are with kids? It's baffling that a kid would be grabbed like this, seperated from his sister and forced into the back of a cop car after witnessing his parents die. That's not how cops would operate. Even if he sounded crazy, he could be in shock, there is NO WAY the cops would do that to a kid, especially in the 21st century where the codes against what you can and can't do with a kid is so strict.

Actually it is

Yeah, I was saying to myself, "they'd NEVER do that." Police would never treat a child like that at all, let alone separate him from his sister. They'd want to take him somewhere safe, get him calmed down, talk to him etc...

Big deal. 200+ years ago in England, they would've hanged the boy almost immediately.

Why are you here if you haven't seen the movie yet?
