Yeah, I'm slow to catch this post...

But I just wanted to say that, in Japan, noone trusts the police. And they don't even have big guns.

I still think it was inadvisable to take a kid to such an action. One cannot control other people and one can never be certain of consequences, no matter how well we may know the intentions.

Not that I think we shouldn't be able to take our kids -- just that reality often fucks with the ideal. If we can't take our kids out to the park and let them play without hovering a security camera over them or sewing a GPS tracker into their clothing to be sure they aren't going to get snatched, how can we depend on anything else?

The cops shouldn't've touched the kid. That's just.... Well, everyone else has already said it. But we already knew they function to preserve the elite, so why are we surprised?
