I was on the New York Times website and came across a column by Bob Herbert. The title caught my eye and really grabed me attention. The title of this article is "Cops vs. Kids." It talks about how a couple of sixth graders in New York school were writing on eachothers desk. And a peace keeper, got involved in the situation. The peace keepers are police officers of the New York City Police Department and they are unarmed officers in the school. I found this to be a very interesting story and it tells about how some of the officers are arresting the students, putting them into handcuffs for small, routine little accidents that students are involved in. Kind of sounds like these officers are bored with their jobs and take little accidents and turn them into big deals.
