 here is a story i couldn't have imagined even though its a cop;


Houston, TX — Over the years there have been some utterly disturbing images from parents and coaches during youth sporting events. The folks who are supposed to be role models for children end up losing their cool and screaming, fighting with other parents, and even assaulting children. One would think that a police sergeant, who is also a coach — whose job is to arrest people for assault — would attempt to prevent such actions. However, as the following video illustrates, one would be wrong.

A sergeant with the Harris County Precinct 5 Constable’s Office has been stripped of his coaching position after he was captured on video assaulting children on the winning team. As the two teams lined up to shake hands after the game Sgt. Kenneth Wendt is seen on video attempting to hurt multiple players on the team who just beat them by shoving them and attempting to break their fingers.

“His actions were unacceptable and do not align with our organization’s values. We removed him from coaching and from our club about 8:30 a.m. Sunday,” the league said in a statement.

“Nothing in the world gives you the right to do that to kids,” the winning 9U baseball team’s coach Victor Torres said.

Torres said you’d expect it from the kids, but not the coach.

“They come in and they slap you hard on the hand. And you’ll be like, ‘hey, don’t do that.’ But an adult, you wouldn’t expect it,” Torres said. “I was upset. I was really upset.”

“How is that even possible,” Torres said. “You hold them to a higher standard. And then you come out here and do that to kids, to 9-year-old kids.”

“Just like I tell my kids” ‘We don’t lose, we learn,'” Torres said. “You don’t do that to 9-year-olds. You don’t put your hands on 9-year-olds. Especially not someone else’s child.”

After other parents watched the video, they reached the same conclusion...........more..........
