What Police State?

Boy oh boy:

From FOX News:
BALTIMORE — Baltimore police arrested a 7-year-old boy, handcuffed him, then hauled him off to the station house where they took his mug shot and fingerprints.

The youngster's offense?

He allegedly rode a dirt bike on a sidewalk.

The incident brought new heat on a department already under fire for making what critics call frivolous or unnecessary arrests.

Police commissioner Leonard Hamm, although noting the city's ongoing concern about the nuisance of dirt bikes, said in a statement Thursday that the arrest of the 7-year-old "was not consistent with my philosphy of trying to solve problems in the neighborhoods."
Yessir, those vicious 7-year-old dirt bikers need to be taken down a few notches, and those Baltimore police know just how to do it.

Hey Fred, any houses for sale or rent down there where you are?
