While the drawing would be at least of concern, I don't see how this could be construed as a criminal act.

This belongs in /r/Bad_cop_no_donut not here....

Anyways this is why you never, ever, talk to police before talking to your lawyer.

"and then handcuffed him and hauled him away in a patrol car."

How much of a threat can an 11 year old be that you have to put handcuffs on him?

And that is why you never EVER cooperate with the police. Your lawyer can tell them what they need to know.

"Teachers must die" stick figures.

God, I did this when I was in highschool! And my stick-figure, with axe, even chopped up the teach of the class. And this went up on the overhead projector! Now, mind you, she was getting axe chopped for the level of homework I was talking about on my overhead slide.

Teachers comment: "How about something slightly less violent next time?" She got the comfy chair...... Nobody expects the homework inquisition!

Shit, we could even relate my story to my Dad. He had his hunting rifle, with ammo, in his school locker during dear season. Makes me wonder what it's going to be like for the kids of these kids... Welcome to school, please put on your straight-jacket?

Well, ladies and gentlemen, how many more Goddamn reasons not to reproduce do you need? If you breed, some vicious cops are likely to show up at night and drag away your beloved children!

Shit. It's hard enough to protect oneself in this fucked up world, let alone one's kids. Save yourself the grief—don't have any.

So NOW do you believe we live in a police state?

This isn't a "men's rights" issue. The police reaction was absurd, and it's an interesting story, but there's no sign of discrimination because of his sex.

haha "Music sucks"

This shouldn't be in mens rights, but the whole story made me laugh.
