Do you think this is a case of police brutality? Man on sidewalk riding his bike. Police attempts to write a citation, but man refuses to give her his ID.


 
Aren't there minimum physical standards required for becoming a police officer? A tiny person like that should not be a cop anywhere but behind a desk.

Other than that, meh. The video starts in the middle of the confrontation - hard to judge the level of 'brutality' without seeing more.
 
And since you promised police brutality and completely failed to deliver:

 
Unlawful to ride bikes on the sidewalk? Seems like a petty law.

BUT - if in fact that is the law, how is this police brutality? That word "brutality" gets thrown around way too casually these days. Looking like you're about to leave (when he hops on his bike) is the last thing you want to do when a cop is asking you for ID. Of course they're going to cuff you. He didn't get slammed and was thoroughly resisting getting cuffed. How else should this have been handled?

tldr:
Stupid law, stupid kid, but no police brutality.

I don't see anything wrong with how the police handled this situation.
 
1:12 kids lucky he's not charged with more, don't be putting your hands on an officer. Honestly he deserved an ass whoopin.
 
Cop made a mistake imo by half-committing to the arrest, and she was too intimidated to be out there in first place, because she couldn't calmly explain the law and the reason for stopping the guy.
 
I saw no brutality. Don't know if you gotta show ID, but he was presenting as if he was going to ride off so his fault.


Anybody else think this through the whole video?

Notice how as soon as the male Police Officer showed up all hardness immediately left his body and it was immediately about race? What a punk.
 
If a cop asks for your ID, you should probably just give it to them.

Well by that logic he was getting arrested either way then so he might as well as played the odds in his favour and give her his ID and hoped she let him go assuming he had nothing to hide, instead of screaming like an idiot and making a fool of himself, other idiots on the internet will probably praise him and call this police brutality. Police brutality does most certainly exist but this is not a case of it even remotely.
 
People these days seem to think they can resist and be as petulant as they want, refusing lawful orders issued by LEO's.
This coddling bullshit is gonna backfire and there's gonna be a swing back in the right direction.
People leap to the defense of others who show no respect for the law and I'm pretty tired of it.
 
I'm pretty sure you have to present ID when police are writing a citation. If you don't have ID to prove your identity, they are going to have to book you in jail.
 
And even though that was petty af, that kid probably could have gotten away with a warning if he didn't have such a shitty attitude.

I agree that this was in no way police brutality and of course the kid should have given his ID. On the other hand I'll bet you that cop wouldn't have stopped me (white guy with glasses) and my 7 year old daughter for riding on the sidewalk
