This officer will have to justify why he did what he did, but he isn't automatically in the wrong for doing it.

This is a general discussion, not just about that specific 12 year old, and what constitutes discretion is always up for discussion.

Police officers cannot adapt and adjust to the point where they violate policies and the law. There are some things that are considered "standard."
