Brittney Gilliam was going to a nail salon Sunday with her 6-year-old daughter, 12-year-old sister and 14- and 17-year-old nieces when police drew their weapons on them. Gilliam said she, her sister and 17-year-old niece were handcuffed while police verified that the car Gilliam was driving was not stolen.
No need to apologize, the family should have just complied and none of this would have happened. Plus, I heard the 6 year old was sent to timeout in kindergarten.

access by clicking on smilies to the left above the typing box, scroll down, click the three dots at the very bottom, and it will appear. Your post needs it.

And I know about the sarcasm thingy and contemplated using it, but then figured people on this site are smart enough to realize that this is sarcasm....if people cant tell that this is sarcasm then something is wrong with them.
