And here I thought the Florida Keys were part of the USA. My bad.

They have been an independent nation since April 23, 1982.

The Key West police are not the US police. There is no US police force that was present in Key West trying to deal with a violent 8 year old. Would you blame EU police if the Paris police botched something?

You mean the French police? Last time I checked Florida was in the US.

On a more serious level a local us police force were involved.

If your only defense is quibbling about the specific name of a police force that overstepped, you've already lost.

Police are a state issue, not federal, so there is no such thing as US police.
