Kid arrested for jumping over cops

5 point star though. I think most departments west use 6 or 7 point stars. Could be though or maybe Florida?

Wow, good catch on the star.

Yeah, doesn't Florida have some goofy statute about Sheriff's shall be green?

The grass was kinda brown for Florida though.

Can't help but think that if the officers response was just to laugh, congratulate him on his flip, and then politely ask him to not do that again, they would have instilled a more positive image of the police.

Or, . . . held up score cards.

just for kirk.

this occurred in Sarasota Fl. And, the boy was charged with "culpable negligence"

Florida state law defines culpable negligence as follows

(1) Whoever, through culpable negligence, exposes another person to personal injury commits a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(2) Whoever, through culpable negligence, inflicts actual personal injury on another commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(3) Whoever violates subsection (1) by storing or leaving a loaded firearm within the reach or easy access of a minor commits, if the minor obtains the firearm and uses it to inflict injury or death upon himself or herself or any other person, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. However, this subsection does not apply:
(a) If the firearm was stored or left in a securely locked box or container or in a location which a reasonable person would have believed to be secure, or was securely locked with a trigger lock;
(b) If the minor obtains the firearm as a result of an unlawful entry by any person;
(c) To injuries resulting from target or sport shooting accidents or hunting accidents; or
(d) To members of the Armed Forces, National Guard, or State Militia, or to police or other law enforcement officers, with respect to firearm possession by a minor which occurs during or incidental to the performance of their official duties.
