Down In Florida, Mike Chitwood Said The Quiet Part Out Loud
Mike Chitwood is the sheriff of Volusia County (basically an exurb of Orlando), and he’s had enough.
This kid above in the photo is eleven years old, and apparently he made threats to shoot up his middle school. When confronted by law enforcement, he immediately back-tracked and said it was all a joke. So, Chitwood ordered the kid (again, 11 years old) to be perp-walked. Here it is:
Obviously, because we live in a polarized society where everyone has access to some platform and 7 in 10 people are parents, we had a lot of “hot takes” on this. I would say most parents, or people in general, said this is good, and kids + parents need to be held accountable for either real or potential violence. (Who disagrees with that? I’m not sure.) But of course, we had some comments like “I hope his family sues you for perp-walking a minor on camera!” Now, if the family is a certain degree of entitlement, they probably will sue, even though their kid did…
