A teenager on a field trip to see a Detroit court ended up in jail clothes and handcuffs because a judge said he didn’t like her attitude.
Judge Kenneth King even asked other kids in the courtroom Tuesday whether the 16-year-old girl should be taken to juvenile detention, WXYZ-TV reported.
If I got arrested for every time I fell asleep on a boring field trip, I’d have been arrested 0 times. Because Texas doesn’t fund education.
That was quite a ride 😄👏👏
How the fuck is this allowed?
Separation of powers. Executive has the DOJ and friends, Congress has the Sgt at arms and Judiciary has contempt. All three are, in theory, immune to interference from the other branches, to allow said branches to defend themselves. Stupid, stupid idea.
Put that shitty excuse of a judge in prison so he can reflect on his crimes.
Probably getting kickbacks from the private prison industry.
This must be the bad part of Detroit I hear so much about
Scared straight? Scared hate is more what happened. Judge is a douche bag. That shit doesn’t work.
“I wanted this to look and feel very real to her, even though there’s probably no real chance of me putting her in jail. That was my own version of ‘Scared Straight,’” King said, referring to a documentary about teen offenders in New Jersey.
For those unfamiliar, Scared Straight! was roundly debunked after the fact as a stupid fucking thing to do which did the opposite of what it was supposed to, and attendees of the program ended up more likely to reoffend.
They even had a “where are they now” at the end of each program that showed it didn’t work.
What the fuck is going on in Detroit where the other judges haven’t removed him yet?
