Today, my boss in my police department told me to start enforcing the "No bikes on sidewalks" law, which we usually ignore. I pulled up behind the first person I saw riding a bike on a sidewalk and flashed my lights. It turned out to be a boy with Down's syndrome, who was so upset he cried and peed. FML

You shouldn't feel bad about enforcing the law, and you should definitely tell your boss what happened.

bikes should be on sidewalks...we don't want to get a ticket because they think they're a car and slow us down when we have to "share the road"

Where the hell do you live? Why is it illegal to ride your bike on the freaking path? Would you rather we rode in the middle of the road? Then you would have to deal with multiple car crashes, and dead cyclists. **** the police. No one likes you.

why would a boy with down syndrome be riding his bike alone?

You make it sound like people with Down Syndrome are completely dependent on caregivers. They're not. Just because they have a developmental disability doesn't mean they're not capable of doing simple things, such as riding their bike on the sidewalk by themselves. Besides, how do we know the poor dude was alone? His parent or guardian could have been nearby and handled it as soon as he started to cry.
