Just to add to this thread:
It was actually the kids who approached the cops to complain about the "evil adults" who told them not to shoot the soccer ball at the playground equipment after the ball had narrowly missed my 3-year-old son's head.
The police officer then ridiculed my husband, who had asked them to intervene on behalf of the young children. My husband and his friend had to leave with the little kids.
This is not about vilifying teenagers, who obvioulsy need a place to play ball (for example, in the surrounding park area), but about the police officer's rude and unprofessional conduct in this situation. She could have suggested that the kids play in a different area of the park or tried to diffuse the situation in a similar manner. Instead, she chose to ridicule the adults in front of the teens, who learned that it is not necessary to respect other people around them.
