The police seems to see things differently. To publicly castigate one of their own brings competency, training and professionalism into question and may complicate any further actions.
"After filing an official complaint against the officer and the ticket, both mother and daughter were interviewed by police and told that officers were monitoring their neighborhood in response to nuisance calls in the area."

If this is a problem what happens in a critical situation that requires good judgment?, City Manager Jim Crosby said. You do worry about how this carries over into a critical situation.
Crosby admitted that concern over Qualls judgment was raised on Tuesday when he brandished his weapon while responding to a burglary alarm call in Piedmont. Details of the incident were not immediately available, and there has been no indication Qualls acted inappropriately during the call, but Crosby said the poor judgment shown in issuing the citation to Warden is a factor when considering how the officer may respond in more serious situations like Tuesdays alarm call."

Piedmont Police Chief Alex Oblein said, It wouldve been much better served by going, Hey, the child should go in the bathroom. Have a nice day,. Just a regular verbal warning wouldve been nice or talk to the parents about it might not be appropriate to have your child urinating out here in full view of the public. Thats the way I would have liked to have seen it handled.

The nuisance calls were for the teenage boys in that house for harassing new neighbors the day before, a yard was damaged. The cop was sitting there waiting to see if there was going to be any more retaliation on the new neighbors. I'm kind of surprised the cops don't tell about all the other calls they have had on this family.
This family will eventually get caught with something more damning, Piedmont is a small town after all. I'll be interested to see if their fall will be as nationally televised as this peeing incident. If not, I'll keep this thread bookmarked and will let you all know.

So they're all in it together, I guess? When we catch them do we ship them all off to North Korea style re-eduction camps? What about their extended family, should we nab them, too?
As for them being in it together, yes. The parents know this shit is going on and since most of the kids are underage, they will also catch some grief... As for your North Korea re-education rant, where are you going with that?
