Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

December 22, 2011

Last November Lt. Frank Gordo, a "resource officer" employed by California's Stockton Unified School District, arrested a five-year-old child named Michael Davis, who had been summoned to the principal's office. Gordo was supposed to intimidate the child into behaving himself. After Gordo laid hands on Michael, the youngster batted the officer?s hands away and reportedly kicked him in the shin ? which is entirely appropriate behavior for a child being pawed by an armed and threatening stranger.

Instead of behaving like an adult and de-escalating the situation, Gordo hog-tied the child by zip-tying his hands and feet, and hauled him away.

Michael?s mother Thelma Gray, a special ed teacher in the district, is preparing to file a lawsuit against the officials responsible for this outrage. Lt. Gordo, most likely on the advice from his union, has made a preemptive strike.

Last week the Stockton Unified School District informed Gray that it had "received a written complaint against you alleging unlawful discrimination. The complaint was filed by District employee Frank Gordo" ? whose tender feelings were injured by the public criticism he received for attacking and kidnapping Gray's five-year-old son at gunpoint.

Such is the heroic stuff of which police officers are made.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
