If this would have happened in Phoenix, the kid would have been shot before he was apprehended. Step Gilbert, your men need more training. You will never read about a Phoenix officer getting choked in a line of duty. You will, however, hear about innocent people getting shot. Win some, lose some.

You know back in Bible times, kids that behaved like this 14 yr old were stoned to death as to not bring shame to their family and to rid society of corrupt and polluted future citizens…can we start enforcing that again?

That is sad all away around. Very sad for the child, the father and the officer. Kids are going to be the death of our Society one day if they keep doing what they are doing.

STEP UP PARENTS!! IT IS TIME TO RAISE YOUR KIDS!

Citizen- When you’re not attending fallen officers’ funerals, maybe you could take some night classes. You obviously need them.

obviously, the boy has been raised to have no respect for authority, and what is that? father assisted but didn’t interfere with the fight? I’ll bet theres more to this story then meets the eye, or the press……….

I always wonder why the Gilbert justice system is so ridiculous, and now I know. It’s because of judgmental uptight people like some of you. Only in this stupid town can a 14 year old kid have a FELONY warrant, for what? drugs? stealing? unpaid tickets? It’s pretty funny how all of you sit back and judge the parents as being bad when their whole family and lives are probably ruined now because of this.. From past experiences I know Gilbert police over exaggerate everything, so who knows what really went down..

‘…No charges were placed against the boy’s father for attempting to interfere…”

Why not? Both should be in the slammer.

Speaking for Todd “Nancy” Shetland . . . . “Why isn’t this corrupt law enforcement officer being charged with attacking a minor’s hands with his neck. Where is the justice in this boot-jacked state?”
