As far as I understand it, a black woman is reporting to the police that a guy grabbed her son by the arm because he threw a piece of paper on the ground. She then says "it doesn't matter if he did or didn't, it doesn't give him the right to put his hands on him." The policeman then says "why not?" and asks her something to the effect of "why don't you teach him not to throw stuff on the ground"
A bunch of shit then goes down, the woman goes off about how it doesn't matter what she teaches her son, her daughter tries to calm her down, the cop grabs her, another woman pushes the cop, there's a mysterious cut in the video 1:55 in, he arrests the mom and tazes her daughter, and then the girl holding the camera screams at him calling him a pig and a bitch for like 2 minutes
Thoughts?
The big woman lost her temper and went toward the cop. The girl in the pink top threw herself in between the two, knowing full well her mother was being an idiot. Tough to tell with the camera angle, but I don't have a problem with the cop making an arrest there.The video crapped out on me. Are you saying the citizen initiated physical contact?
Or just act right in the first fucking place. Either wayOnce again, never call the cops.

I'm not sure the girl in the pink did anything wrong, but the video looks edited.

Falls in between. People talk their way into trouble all the time. "And then I cussed that asshole cop out and hit him, and he had the nerve to put hands on me!"Time and time again it's proven that's all it takes. Total compliance and submissiveness while cops do whatever they want, regardless of the law or professional expectations.

Don't call the cops expecting to receive any help.
Talcum X still having credibility is the most shocking part of this story.Shaun King...the milky dindu enthusiast
That is fucking hilarious...Talcum X still having credibility is the most shocking part of this story.

Ya, so, I wouldn't have handled it like that. The best thing you can do in that situation is to try and help the community. Bring these two people together and try to have a understanding before filing paperwork and possibly throwing someone in jail. The problem is not everyone has the gift of tact. This officer was possibly having a bad day and acted unprofessionally. Regardless, these are neighbors, help them out, if you make them happy and settle the dispute it's basically the main ideal that is instilled within you going through the academy.@Palis Some professional perspective?
So basically the police force is full of idiots. Its like athletes and the UFC....any athlete who has a chance to make good money and not get punched in the face will take it and they are stuck with C level athletes. Police is full of C level people
Most people in here think the cop acted like a dick and didn't handle the situation well.Ya, so, I wouldn't have handled it like that.

Therefore, did the guy actually assault and physically harm the child? I don't know enough about the case to confirm.
Regardless, officer was in the wrong. You have to be better at making your community better. This does nothing for that... you aren't SERVING your community, you're enraging people and dividing. Is the cop a racist though like what is easily thrown around? Probably not. Was the cop unprofessional and obviously there is something else bothering him? Yes. Cops are humans too. With that said, there are scumbags and assholes in every profession and in saying that, these videos are a rarity, but the cop could just be a scumbag.
As for a rarity-- a rarity in that this police officer could have handled two prior disputes or situations earlier in the day just fine and a thousand more in the last 5 years just fine, yet this one got away from him, human emotion, stress whatever and this shit blows up everywhere and everyone thinks this is how cops act all day everyday, the cop is racist, violent etc.
Look at what barely average IQ Muslim leechers like @Gervinho says about American cops. The dude has ZERO clue about American society, cops, culture and how policing certain communities over a long period of time can be extremely frustrating because the people you deal with hate your guts, don't trust you, are racist themselves through their environment and defensively assume you are racist. I've had a black partner before (I float on patrol, meaning I only serve a community for a few months then go to another area which is good and bad) who on certain calls in certain places dealing with certain people would him black shit, uncle Tom and race traitor. The amount of hate within certain people is just amazing, yet they still call the police, have us come out there and handle a situation while their family members would mad dog us and call us names, especially to my partner. "Yo why you with this honky? He your master? You know you're killing our people right?", more stuff like this said to us and we're like man, we're out here helping you all.
But it is what it is. You're always told and taught don't bring it home with you and most of it you can shed, but in reality, it's impossible unless you're a robot or a sociopath.
