""Child""

Saw this from a fellow blogger on Twitter the other day:

Assuming the following, I pretty much dismissed it:

1. Xenosmilus was correct in her interpretation
2. The fact that the kid was black had nothing to do with it
3. It wasn't racist
4. The parents have raised a menace to society, but would rather milk the system for compo than acknowledge that

Now the story has popped into my news feed:

Black child ‘mauled by police dog when armed officers arrested him’ 

And the story is exactly as you'd expect

The 14-year-old was arrested while walking home in Kingstanding, Birmingham, last Tuesday evening when he was approached by an unmarked police car.

Ok, so at 14 he's technically a child, but to not describe him as a teenager in the headline, automatically make the reader think of a helpless kiddywink

I bet he does his nut if any adults refer to him as a child

The boy and his four friends ran off so the dog was released to chase them down. He was bitten and suffered an injury over two inches by one inch.

The police sent the dogs in after they pegged it. Ok, sometimes teenagers peg it from the police for no reason, but...

Police said they received a call about a man being chased by a group armed with machetes and they found a combat knife at the scene.

...if they're being stopped on suspicion they may have been about to commit a murder, you bloody well go after them, dogs included, if you have them to hand

His dad is now threatening legal action. He told the Independent: ‘All I think of is when you watch movies like Django Unchained and dogs are set on runaway slaves to tear their flesh off. I don’t want any other child to go through this.’ 

What bollocks is that? You were never a slave. Your son was never a slave. That film is fictional. The police sent in the dogs because you raised a thug who attacks people with knives and runs from the police (Suspected, of course)

He now wants the police dog to be put down and for the officers involved to be prosecuted.

Of course he does. In an ideal world, the police would tell him to fuck off and take a long hard look at himself. In our actual clown world, I wouldn't be too surprised if he got his way

What about a bit of compo too?

The boy’s family has also demanded compensation

There it is. The grabbing hands of imaginary victimhood
