<< WASHINGTON (AP) - Police agencies, which rarely take children with a show
of
force, say they cannot recall anything like the Immigration and
Naturalization Service operation that removed 6-year-old Elian Gonzalez from
his relatives' home using an armed assault team.
Law enforcement officials regularly face the decision of how and when to use
guns to take innocent kids into custody. While few officers openly criticize
the capture of Elian at gunpoint, they always look for nonviolent options.
Local police, who handle dangerous domestic disputes daily, avoid either a
show of force or use of force whenever they can. Most of the time, they don't
have to go in with guns drawn.
"What you've got is a child with a warrant out on him, and when is the next
time that that is going to happen?" asked Lt. Lester Bell, head of a county
Crimes Against Children unit in Georgia. Federal agents used an alien arrest
warrant that declared Elian "in violation of the immigration laws" and a
search warrant to enter the Miami house and remove the 6-year-old on April
21. >>
This is wonderful. Now tell us about the children who are living in the
houses where the no-knocks are going on. The kids who get to watch their
mothers, fathers, grandparents, etc. get knocked around while half naked;
watch their grandfather die of a heart attack; watch the dog they love shot
for barking at the nice policeman. It's great to hear that stuff never
really happens. Seventeen children died at Waco after a siege that must
have kept them in terror for weeks. I haven't heard an apology to those
children yet. What is truly shocking about the treatment of children in our
society is the smarmy mouthed dishonesty that goes along with it. Prudy
