What will happen is that with all the coverage of how cops go 'bad' will result in a serious deterioration not unlike the rise in spoiled brat entitled kids. This is not good at all.
How these kids acted tells me all I need to know. This country is losing character.
Let me ask you guys that have kids, what would you think if your kid acted like any of those kids? I would be pissed. Would I be mad at the cop for treating my Daughter like that? Not at all. I would be pissed at her because she didn't do what was the right thing to do was - which is to obey the Police Officers command. Period.
Don't believe me? I have a little story to share about my Son and how he spent 3 days in 'in-school' suspension because of something he may or may not have done. The Asst. Principle called me up, explained what happened. I asked him what the punishment he felt it should be and said a day in 'In-School Suspension" I said give him 3 and call it good. He was shocked, my Son pissed, Mommy upset at me but after it was over, all agreed it was the right thing to do and I was right.
These kids all should have been bulldogged and cowtied.

To answer your question (bolded), I would be downright ashamed of how horribly I'd failed as a parent.
