Once the policeman catches Oliver it is evident that the law and justice system are corrupt and unfair. The much older policeman manhandles Oliver, a young child, believing that Oliver had just committed a crime. Even though the victim believes the officer is handling the boy too harshly the officer does not loosen his grip. Instead the policeman rips Oliver's coat.

Just recently Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens football team was acquitted of a gruesome murder. Yet, there are people who still believe he is guilty and will never associate with Mr. Lewis again. This sort of behavior is terrible.
