Can someone please explain how trained ABC agents can't tell a 6 pack of water from a 6 pack of beer?
things here are getting more ****ed-up by the day
where is wide-spread national cover in media of police misconduct. who is there to question legality of their action? oh, wait let's have SD puff their chest and threaten Russia with consequences. That was once almost ended with nothing.
the psychologically unhealthy need of every tinpot makework bureaucracy to run around pretending to be Seal Team Six.
Those girls are scum. I'm glad that sting got them off the streets even if just for one night. I was wondering why I had slept so well.
And jumping on the hood of her car. They had to draw down on her in case she screamed or blew a rape whistle.
With: A) the element of surprise, B) outnumbering by more than 2:1, C) training and D) unlimited backup you'd think they'd handle even the biggest beer-buying scofflaw a little better. Nevermind that they were dealing with three 20 year old girls.
And what made them think the girls were underage? They didn't know what they bought so they clearly hadn't been asked to provide ID.
They were hoping they could get a charge to stick, thereby decreasing their culpability.
Sadly I am starting to think "Professional Law Enforcement" is an oxymoron.
Maybe it's me, I dunno, but it seems like sooo many of these guys/gals are just so over the top, they completely lose sight of reality.
Negative. Nice try though.
Why dont all you LEO haters go apply, train and perform the duties of a Police Officer every day. Deal with scum of the earth every day. Deal with people who would try and do harm to you any chance they get. Pull into accident scenes that have a drunk driver and a mutilated kid. Ya'll are so smart and tough why dont you go try and get the job and make it better?
So many hypocrites in this forum it makes me sick.
I'm not a hater at all, but PLEASE(!!!), you must admit, in this case LE went to far???

Back when 18 was the legal drinking age this would have never happened. Much of the blame lies with the GD do-gooders from MADD and SADD. Underage drinking didn't stop.
Most every state has some kind of A B C enforcement including Mass. Before you get your drawers in a snit, it's what these bozos do for a living. We let it happen, just like the militarization of the police. You tolerated, hence you validated....and bitchin' 'bout it on some Internet forum don't mean squat. You want the power back to the people, well you are going to have to take it back either using our system to effect change...or not. Who volunteers? nobody I can see... Ho Hum.

Well, here's a quote from a very well respected cop on this very incident and how he and other members of his department handle things with alcohol and under aged kids in Fla. Maybe you ought to read it and take a couple of notes, you might save yourself from being a defendant in the future.

"Good Gawd, ONE officer needed to simply walk over, politely ID himself as an ABC agent, present creds, explain the reason for detaining her, and ask what the beverages were. It would have been over in seconds, all the while, his buddies could have all watched in awe at his professional demeanor and kept a lookout for "True evildoers".
Thats it, thats all we do on spring break with minors walking on the State right of way with Alcohol.
If they run, you get a chuckle watching a drunken tired teenager run away. We're not chasing a panicked kid into traffic for an alcohol violation. You know why, odds are, he's running back to his hotel anyway to hole up for the night. Problem solved.
Im of the opinion more and more, LE has lost focus on the simple things, the simple rules. Basic interpersonal skills being one of them.
Granted not all persons I make contact with have those skills, nor do all of them have a desire to use them, but I like to give them the opportunity to utilize them by using them myself.
It's a nice way to start a dialogue.
I think as society degrades, so does the skillset of what once was considered a job of "Professionals".
It truly saddens me, because I know we are on our way to a totalitarian police state."
