Shamar Bosdman stated: I have been coming out here for a
very very long time. The situation that happened with Officer SHAMAR BOSDMAN
Joseph Reiman, I've never seen anything like this. This is not
going to go away. This is a sixteen (16) year old child. When you
are a child, you make certain mistakes and you do certain things
but what happened to him was not deserved. If he did something
wrong, arrest him, take him in, don't treat him like an animal. A
child. We have children, everyone in here has children. I coach
children, I've been coaching children for 20 years and I have never
seen this. I have never come in here, there are a lot of things that
go on but this is not going away. You always preach, if you see
something, say something. They saw something. Break the wall
of silence. You tell a blood, you tell a crypt to report a crime. A
crime was committed but its not going away. That's all I wanted
to say. Its not going away.
