no, we don't know that

the question here is if the cops shows up to issue the trespass, or if it was done prior to the cops showing up

How do cops "issue" trespass? They can't do that, they only enforce it.

you're so stuck on that word, that's the problem here

replace issue with "inform"

So why do you not just watch the video? Not even the patents of this kid, who are extremely stupid, think it happened the way you say. I do not understand what this extreme "reverse benefit of the doubt" is supposed to be. Watch the video, read the article. Anything instead of just making things up because you have some bias you want to validate.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

neither the article nor video linked in the article make it clear if they were trespassed before being informed by the cops

The family states that the league banned them from the field via a trespass notice and that officers then escorted them away in front of the other children.
