Being from Texas, before you turn into another MSNBC or CNN, read the entire story before claiming the cop is psychotic. Yes, he might have been amped up but I think we all might be when dealing with the bottom dwellers of society so we don’t have to
He was clearly referring to something other than the size of the house… But the houses were the first thing I noticed as well, seems like a nice neighborhood.
As a cop you have to be prepared for the possibility that people will resist and be able to determine what type of force needs to used. If this cop legitimately thought he was in a dangerous enough situation to draw his weapon (breaking up a highschool pool party) then he was never ready to become a cop in the first place.
Agreed. They need to start requiring cops to have a bachelors degree. So many have these childhood egos and dont understand how the law works and that people have rights. They want an absolute what I say goes authority.
A bachelor’s degree from most colleges is about the equivalent of a high school diploma. Most law enforcement officers, at least where I’m from, go through some sort of training school or a technical school as I understand it.
Dude’s a monster. And you know some shady stuff probably happened to the kid the two cops brought back near the end of the video that could barely sit up and kept spitting out blood.
I live in McKinney where this happened and these kids jumped the fence to a private pool in a nice neighborhood and were disturbing the graduation party already happening there. Officer responded and tried to remove the kids and of course this happens. I really don’t see why a gun needed to be drawn but it’s not unreasonable to think a cop is gonna be angry if you mouth off and disrespect his authority. Unfortunate to see it happen in a normally pretty nice town.
No one jumped the fence to a private pool party. This started because people were making racist comments telling the kids that were invited to the party to “go back to their section 8 housing” and some grown ass woman slapped a kid.
I actually live right down the street from where this happens in Craig ranch McKinney tx. They did hop the fence into a private party. And if they would just do what the officer said instead of arguing and yelling, it wouldn’t have escalated so badly
You bigoted conservatives down voted this, but he’s right. But of course you guy don’t care about the truth. Nor do yo care about the lives of black individuals. Fuck you guys
The same ones defending this cop are probably the same ones criticizing the Oklahoma SAE chapter. You all put on a nice image when it’s absolutely necessary but definitely say the same shit that chapter was caught doing. Why? “Because I’m Southern.” Smh.
Finch. If you are a trained police officer. You do not. Under any circumstances. Draw a firearm in the middle of a crowd. That second officer calmed him down before he made a big mistake. The job is hard and I know there’s a lot of emotion, but that guy no matter what “racial spin” or “non-racial” spin you want to put on it did not do the right thing. If your family was in that crowd as one of the innocent bystanders you would not even attempt to justify his actions. Let alone scan for a guy “reaching for his back hip for a concealed weapon”.
SomaliSig if there is ever a concern for your life whether it’s a tick or a small gesture. You do what is right to make sure you and the people around you are safe.
And if that guy would have had a gun then a lot more people than just the officer might have been injured or killed. And not scanning, just plain obvious.
The officer was subduing the suspect and several subjects closed in on him. For his safety, and for the safety of those around him, he drew his duty weapon. It is a prudent move given the fact that he does not know the intentions of those who surrounded him. This falls within most departments use of force policies. It might not be a good look for this department but he’s within his rights.
It’s a shame that this quality, satirical, comment is going to be missed by most of the readers of this, satirical, publication because of all the serious, non satirical, back and forth dick measuring.
The best part is when he completely ignored the fact that he’s being filmed and thinks he’s being a god damn hero. Or when his fellow officers try to restrain him and he essentially says fuck off. It’s your pick.

11 years ago at 10:11 amHow the fuck does your “being from Texas” comment even somewhat relate to what you said?
11 years ago at 10:19 amYes because every black teenager who threatens to call their mother when being harassed and attacked by police are the bottom dwellers of society.
11 years ago at 10:22 amBottom dwellers of society? The size of the houses in that neighborhood say otherwise
11 years ago at 10:33 amHe was clearly referring to something other than the size of the house… But the houses were the first thing I noticed as well, seems like a nice neighborhood.
11 years ago at 10:37 amI believe the “bottom dwellers” he is referring to are the non-residents of the neighborhood.
11 years ago at 10:10 amPolice officers are supposed to be held to a higher standard. If you can’t operate calmly under pressure then you probably shouldn’t be a cop.
11 years ago at 12:00 pmIf you listen when the police tell you to do something, you don’t have these issues. Was that not explained to people growing up?

11 years ago at 10:33 amWhat he did was excessive, I don’t disagree with that at all. Does it get to that point though if instructions are followed?
11 years ago at 10:37 amThat’s like saying, “If I just follow Stalin’s instructions, then this problem wouldn’t have occurred.”
11 years ago at 3:56 pmLooks like Todd Storm is at it again.
11 years ago at 10:24 amThis is what happens when you give an idiot too much authority
11 years ago at 10:24 amAgreed. They need to start requiring cops to have a bachelors degree. So many have these childhood egos and dont understand how the law works and that people have rights. They want an absolute what I say goes authority.

11 years ago at 12:31 pmA bachelors degree isn’t going to help. There are plenty of people with phd’s that have childhood egos.
11 years ago at 12:51 pm99.9% of them have major ego issues.
11 years ago at 3:22 pmOur professors with Ph.D.s, that is.
11 years ago at 3:22 pmNot at all fraternity or college related

11 years ago at 11:05 amStfu. White people would NEVER act like that.
11 years ago at 5:41 pmYou’re joking, right? White people make fools of themselves on the daily.
11 years ago at 11:09 amThat women who told the naggers to go back to their Obama dorms was probably in charge. So no the naggers we’re obviously not welcome.

11 years ago at 11:12 pmGo back to Southern you NAACP loving shit

11 years ago at 7:18 pmWatch again more closely, the kid who ran made a gesture toward his back left hip which could easily be mistaken for reaching for a concealed weapon.
11 years ago at 12:25 pmFinch. If you are a trained police officer. You do not. Under any circumstances. Draw a firearm in the middle of a crowd.
