Please do tell how this was a race issue? It is getting old people playing the race card. I have many black friends who say it is getting out as well.

"I don't think this is a race issue so please...lets not go there!"

True. It's not about race. But that trump card will be played in the 11th hour, as it always is, when the parents find themselves losing their battle.

I glad to see that many of us are on the same page. Jaybird, sorry that you misunderstood my posting. I love enjoy the FOX 2 newscast; however I am growing tierd of seeing the footage. I believe this morning they had the Asst. Coach giving his two cents...great ...wonderful. The statements that he provided during hos interview was obvious and I didn't really need his commnetary. The parent was wrong and was setting a bad example ...PERIOD! Let us put this story to rest and pray that the parent and the child get some counseling because they are going to need it. I agree with you all. Thanks for the comments.
I am tierd of the race card being pulled also...lets be accounatble for our actions.

Unfortunately I watched that segment as well and wondered what part of it was news? Was not even a news worthy event? If that out of control wanna be parent receives 30 days in jail, a $500.00 fine and is banned from all youth sporting events for the rest of this season then and only then would any lesson for others be learned from his little episode. The Officer was way to lenient on that jerk. If a Father acts like that in public then you can only imagine what has occured in the home, the son or daughter was deeply hurt long before that game and his acting out rampage and the child has learned to stuff his feelings and live with shame held inside. And yes the incident is about a behavior and not a race, color, creed etc, but this is the new America so the race card will be a part of the defense.

I THINK THAT EVERYONE INVOLVED INCLUDING THE COP SHOULD HAVE TO ATTEND ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES

Nailer, with all respect that officer did his job. The officer had a job to do and did it well, he de-escalated an escalating suspect who got a little jolt of reality informing him of who was in charge of that situation. Far to many assume an officer is to wait until he is struck in the face or have his weapon taken and used against him before he reacts. Any officer knows the risk when dealing with an out of control person, so gaining control of the situation quickly is vital for the safety of the officer as well as for the public. He did a good job in handling that situation, the rageing Dad was wrong and had a consequence. The rager also had a choice, be quiet and calm down or be jolted? He made his choice.
