Instead, we got to see an entire squad of cops beaten by a nine year old. Seems like they might be paying too much for the policing service they receive. Great place to trim pork in the budget.
Apparently, they did create one unit to do things exactly that way, but they were busy. Maybe give all but one of those salaries to that program, and fire the one that sprayed her?
Honestly, though, it probably would have been something like "mother arrested after domestic altercation with father of her child, parents in custody, child remanded to the state, father shot 17 times as he attempted to resist arrest"

Nope.
That wouldn't make headlines.

You understand the word ‘might’, correct? You understand that headlines aren’t exclusive to lead stories, correct?

And just to elaborate on Boru’s point, here’s the OED’s definition of “headline.”
Quote: headline noun
/ˈhedlaɪn/
/ˈhedlaɪn/
[countable] the title of a news article printed in large letters, especially at the top of the front page on a newspaper or the home page on a news website
a newspaper headline
under a headline They ran the story under the headline ‘Home at last!’.
in the headlines The scandal was in the headlines for several days.
headline about somebody/something an alarming headline about possible terrorist attacks
The engagement of the two tennis stars made headline news.
It wouldn’t be headline news, except maybe on a slow day (and we’re not likely to have many of those for a while), but if anyone writes about the story, the title will technically be a headline.

They're pepper-spraying children, How do you manage to have the worst take possible on this?

You clearly haven’t been paying attention to his posts. Playing devil’s advocate (especially when it’s fucked up shit like this) is kinda his thing.

You aren't paying attention.

Nope.
Some seriously defective people there. They own part of this shit.

Nope. Nope. Nope. There is no excuse, mitigation, or blame shifting for pepper spraying a nine year old. No one 'owns' any of this except the police.

You're of the opinion that the cops don't bear full blame for pepper spraying a 60lb, handcuffed, emotionally troubled child, who was already in the car?
