And I've been very consistent in saying that age is a factor, but definitely not the only factor, and that in this case, I definitely can see the arresting officer's point of view when the child and an adult are interfering in a lawful arrest and that specific age rules are tough because age identification and particularly cross-racial age identification is very problematic when the potential child and another adult are interfering in arrest where the arrestee is already resisting.
What's so hard to understand about that?
