Problem is that the police are in a "no win" situation.

If they cuffed the *MINORS* with their hands behind their back,
and placed them in a car with a screen and no interior door
handles, possibly with the cuffs fastened to a restraint chain
fastened to the floor of the car, there is a good chance the
police would have been accused of "over reaction" and/or abuse.

Remember what happened to the two Border Patrol agents that shot
the convicted drug smugger in the butt?
