Philly Cops Arrest 10-year-old scissor terrorist

Pa. Police Apologize for Scissors Arrest

PHILADELPHIA - The police chief and the head of the city's schools apologized Monday to the mother of a 10-year-old girl who was arrested and handcuffed after she brought a pair of scissors to school in her backpack.

Although officers were following protocol when they drove the girl to a police station with her hands cuffed in front of her, discretion will be used in future cases involving young children, Police Chief Sylvester Johnson said.

Johnson said he told Rose Jackson that the arrest of her daughter, Porsche Brown, was "extremely unfortunate" and apologized for "any trauma that her daughter experienced" on her way to the station.

The district said Brown had violated a ban on bringing scissors — which are considered potential weapons — to school.

You gotta love those Philly cops and schools. I don't know what I find funnier- that they handcuffed a 10-year-old-girl and dragged her down to the 'big-house' or that they still suspended her for 2 days after they called the cops on her and probablly traumatized her for life.
