The Arlington Police Department assisted in making a wish come true for 7-year-old, Kye

On Saturday, April 14, 2012, APD and AFD came together with "A Wish with Wings" and made a dream come true for a 7-year-old boy, Kye, who has leukemia. We granted a Batman adventure wish for Kye. The adventure began at 10 a.m. and ended with a special ceremony at City Hall where Assistant Police Chief James Hawthorne presented Kye a 'key to the City.' Kye's special day included a bank, fake money, motor officers, a bogus "bomb" and couple of cackling villains whose criminal acts were foiled by the good guys.

Wonderful. Can anyone tell me the name of the musicpiece?

[arlingtonpolicemedia]

Hi there, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we don't know the name of the music.

[Hans Nam]

this is very touching and all. but i think it'd have been better if the cameras would just stay away. dont make the kid realize this is all staged

"I wouldn't care"

Well that's YOU. YOU, aren't the only tax payer. While you maybe blinded by emotion easily (MOST are) some aren't.

Best Wishes from Brasil man, you're a champion already! =)

Your stupidity is beyond belief.

[Mark Stewart]

The best part, when anyone is attacked by anyone else they defend themselves, even if that means just pulling away from someone....but cops get to permission to surpass human instinct of fight or flight...Why? because idiots like you LITERALLY think that COPS are above humanity. I think that is why some people become cops, they like that feeling of being superior. Cops are authority junkies...don't ask a cop questions? that questions their authority.

[Mark Stewart]

Why do COPS have much higher divorce rates? They are typically a-holes to everyone, and they treat their spouses that way. They say they need to leave all that Anger at work, but they don't realize they are just that type of people. They are backed by the most lousy excuses as well. Like yours above comment on criminals. Its not until someone has a family member killed by or severely hurt by cops before they start to realize how corrupted the system is...you call those people criminals?

[Mark Stewart]

There is another COPS, caught on video, punching an old lady in the face 6 times. He was fired 6 months later, and then rehired another 6 months after that.

The reason more cops are being called pigs, isn't because everyone is a criminal, its because COPS have been slowly earning it over time. STOP blaming everyone but the COPS. They aren't angels or gods. They screw up as well, but where someone would go to jail a COP gets to go through training. Their pigs.

[Mark Stewart]

By your logic you came up with your analogy. Cops get away with a ton of unacceptable behavior. COPS declared WAR on Americans, not the other way around. Your an idiot that regergates mindless brain washed info. Cops that abuse the law can create problems in society...that doesn't make me a criminal. We had a local police chief covering up COPS stealing from a clothing store. THIS makes me a criminal? Really? grow a brain robot.

[Markb2477]

By your logic since a man rapes a woman. That makes you a rapist. Or since parents have abused their children that makes you a child abuser. People who have the most issues with the police are criminals.

[Mark Stewart]

Im sure you would. People that support one good act by a group of people that destroy peoples lives daily, takes a lot of ignorance. Didn't they throw slaves in holes? It was police that enforced segregation, washed Vietnam protestors down the streets with fire houses, and have declared a WAR on drugs/citizens in America. COPS are the enemy, and druggies have addictions.

Just because you think you are good person, that doesn't have to be the reality others are going through...th

[Markb2477]

I wish someone would throw you in a whole. This is a great video of a community coming together to help a boy who is sick. You're what is wrong with society.

[Mark Stewart]

Meanwhile, many other 7 year old's are losing the wish to be raised by their parents, via killed by COPS or thrown away like trash in a jail/prison. LOL. Lets bubba the rapist fix the problem.

Throw away the key. FEAR solves everything. Thanks for bringing more fear to the community with your excuses and abuse of power.
