Calling the cop psychotic and implying wrong-doing on his part in trying to deal with a gaggle of fuckheads acting like wild monkeys. Sounds like the tag line Huff Post would put on the video.
I see your point. But pulling a gun out? It looked like the other cop was trying to calm the dude down. And the unnecessary barrel roll at the beginning probably drew the psychotic narrative.
Seems like both parties were at fault here. Except one is a trained police officer who is expected to know how to conduct himself in situations like these, and the other is a bunch of kids. Yeah, they should know to respect an officer’s authority, but still.
End-of-the-year pool party was hosted by a subdivision in their private pool. Teens, who weren’t invited nor were residents, began to show up. They jumped over fences, started fights, and damaged property. This coming from a black man who is a resident of the subdivision, who adamantly says this issue isn’t about race. All you see is the video of the aftermath. According to another resident, the teens assaulted two security guards as well as a mother with her three children. They also threatened his “shoot up his house.” Pulling a gun was a bit excessive, but this isn’t a simple case of cop is a racist.
Oh, and also the teens came back later and vandalized cars and mailboxes, even stealing a truck and using it to damage other cars. It’s easy to make accusations when all you see is a 30 second video.
TL;DR and ill gladly lace ’em up for it, but I try to see both sides of the story.
It’s too late, the verdict has already been announced by the media and fools on the internet. Welcome to the new America, where anybody who interacts with a minority or “protected class” is guilty until proven innocent but forever guilty in the minds of the liberals.
This is comical. Here is the end of the link to the Facebook post made by Benet Embry, the black man referenced in the first half of the paragraph – 10152901015923202 – whose story contradicts the other accounts of what happened. The entire second half of your first paragraph comes from a man named Bryan Gestner, who as shown in the comments of the post, is a racist. He claims, in addition to what you posted, that they were drinking and also smoking weed, which I would assume if they were, many other witnesses who supports the officer would have pointed that out by now (they haven’t). I have not seen any official reports about vandalism, stealing truck, etc that have used a source other than this individual. However, I will not rule his account out. Instead, I will consider it and also consider the other accounts that state that the situation initially escalated due to a white adult woman making racist comments to a black teen girl, accounts that state that the woman told her to go back to her side of town and that the inhabitants of the neighborhood did not enjoy the sight of black teens taking over their community pool. They also said that none of the white teens were sought out by the officer and that the only ones being profiled were “black, arabian, or mexican.” The individual who filmed this video, I think, is white but you don’t see the officer yelling profanities at him. The officer only does so when he sees that he is filming him.
Since all of your substance comes from this Facebook post and what I added is also from this same Facebook post, your side of the story is just as credible as mine. It’s easy to make accusations when all you see is a 30 second video, but it’s also easy to make hypocritical statements when you are retarded.
“TL;DR and ill gladly lace ’em up for it, but I try to see BOTH SIDES of the story.”
When a police officer is making an arrest it’s best to:
a.) Quickly surround him with a group of people in an intimidating manner, yelling and screaming.
b.) Give him plenty of space to do their job
Apparently it’s option A these days considering all of the videos you’ll ever see in the news is a group of morons getting within inches of a cop yelling “fuck the police” and how their friend “didn’t do nothing” and intimidating him. Maybe if your friend wasn’t such a dirtbag he wouldn’t be getting arrested in the first place. Race isn’t the problem, it’s fucking retards not following the law and ill timed video recordings that only show the aftermath. Obviously not the case with every situation but still.
Those kids started acting like they were going to fight the cop. That’s why he pulled out his gun lol then he put it back the second he didn’t find them to be a threat. I don’t really see a huge problem here.
And? Anyone here would have a) ran away or b) fought the kids. This cop is a grown ass man that has years of experience in the military plus self defense training but decides to pull out a gun. His responsibility as a police officer is to protect the citizens and maintain order but his initial reaction is to pull out a gun in a neighborhood full of teens with everyone watching? Not even a taser, mace, or a baton. We might as well all buy guns to carry around and be police officers ourselves.
