I remember a few years ago after the Eric Garner murder by NYPD living in Sunset Park, Queens. Was walking up to Queens Blvd when 3 cars full of undercover, jacked up cops shot out of their unmarked cars and pounced upon a diminutive Latino man riding a bicycle. Guns drawn, punches, seriously roughing the guy up. I was with my 3 year old at the time walking him to the store.
As the Eric Garner incident happened only a few weeks prior I was on alert as many in nyc were after seeing what, yet again, cops are capable of. I immediately started video tapping the incident where these cops were beating on this man. One of the cops immediately came up to me and my three year old and blocked up from videoing. He was nice enough to tell me that he thought I was a shitty dad for hanging around and exposing my son to the incident. He informed me that the guy they were beating up was a child molester. He told me that I was endangering my son because I was keeping so close to the incident and that there could be other "bad guys" around that could harm my son. Lots of bullshit flowed out of the cops mouth while I sat there with my three year old watching some dude who had not be convicted of anything get beat up and treated like a piece of trash on 48th street. Sad, really.
A side note, I'm a white dude. If I happened to be a black/latino man in the scenario above, I sort of imagine that I would have been taken in to the precinct as well. Of course I don't know this for sure, but in NYC law enforcement is not applied equally across the races.
And that is my story for the day.
... and CPS would have been called to steal your child, is my bet.
