Cop Pulls Gun and Manhandles Black Teen Girl at Pool Party

[DADDYDBOL]

Hmmm....he had 9 other officers as back up

This is his job....when he is unable to distinguish between a group of teens and a life threatening situation....well I believe that is when he should turn in his badge

Did someone attempt to take his gun?

He is s whacko and resigned before he got fired.....common sense isn't so common now a days as demonstrated by this officer

[energizer bunny]

That cop was upset because he fell over! needed to make someone pay for his little fall.

Daddydbol, you said nobody should ever draw there weapon unless one was drawn towards them. I was proving the point that there are always exceptions to any rule. That's why I stated the drawing a weapon comment.

Obviously there was no chrime committed because there are no civil charges being brought up. The guy resigned I am sure because he was encouraged to by his union rep to keep peace in the community.

[DADDYDBOL]

No I see what you're saying and I was referring to people that carry....but really given the non lethal options a trained officer has yeah drawing your side arm should be last resort

Did they draw down on Rodney King? He was high on crack and PCP physically attacking the cops and I am not 100% sure but I don't remember them drawing a weapon other than batons

[Brett N]

No. They didn't draw down on him. They drug him out of his car and kicked the shit out of him. It was like 5 on 1. They may of drawn at first but it turned into a gang style beat down. F'ed up from the get go.

Latest in ferguson, the cop drew when brown tried to take his firearm while officer was seated in his police car. That's how it started.

Have to agree, just because a law is a law does not make it just. But, there is still punishment to breaking it and we all know that. When I was in the military during desert storm, there wasn't anybody in the country that wouldn't buy me a drink if I went into a bar in uniform. I was under 21 so it was illegal. If the establishment served me they could lose their liquor license. Is that just? No, but it is the law. You will not go to prison for selling weed one time. If you repeat it multiple times, the punishment will get worse. If you make selling weed legal. ( only weed, not meth, coke or any other so called harder drugs) you would not change the amount of people in prison. These guys would no longer sell weed to make money. Legalizing weed would hurt the cash illegal pot seller. He would switch to something else where the demand would outweigh the supply so he could control the price. Vicious circle, single parent, another criminal in prison, anther kid growing up with shit role models and fairly certain to do the same thing. And so on and so on

Also. This can't be blamed on Obama. This has been happening throughout time. Since before the Reagan era. This is not a right wing left wing thing. This is a money thing and government itself is a for profit business. Crime is profitable for all involved except the actual criminal. Look at all the money involved in the criminal process from the police , lawyers, judges, courthouses, bailiffs , prisons , prison guards, prison supplies, food, appeals, clothing , contracts in maintaining, tax dollars they create. The list goes on and on. Government will always be corrupt. You think Halliburton getting all the contracts for Saudi and Afghanistan was a coincidence?

[Brett N]

If you're going to break a law, don't be a dumbass about it. I break laws all the time, I just know how to keep it to myself and shut my mouth about it.

Everything looks different in hindsight. those 2 blokes(potential threats) just jumped in right behind him. So he draw his weapon at the ready until he eliminated the Potential threat

Like other people have said, I don't see anything the cop did wrong. Sure he was yelling and obviously on edge but there was no police brutality. The people there were acting like idiots, they were asked to leave the "scene" or whatever it was (conveniently the video started pretty late into the situation) and chose to stay and talk shit to the police? Are they stupid or trying to start a "police brutality" situation.

Then after the cop takes the girl down, she resists arrests and starts shreaking and yelling. The whole group of people which should have left the area but chose to stay are quick to blow the situation up and act like its another LA cop murder when really its just a bratty girl instigating shit with police and resisting arrest.

Then those idiots start posturing up and acting like their going to fight the cops? Are they retarted? Of course they got run down and arrested to.

If anything I give this cop an A+ for dealing with ghetto shitheads like this on a daily basis for 50k a year.

Its a thankless job being a cop. Ive noticed you guys over there use the word "law enforcement" seems very aggressive if you ask me. like your forcing people. We use terms like. "Policing"

If a cop says "im a police officer I'm enforcing the law" then he appears arrogant and less trust worthy. But if he says "im doing my policing duties" it comes across less enforcing of the civilin. Words have a way of being understood differently. My 9cents

The founding fathers of the U.S. never intended for their to be a police force in the U.S. as there is today, or more importantly, judicial power as there is today. The police or any law enforcement branch are simply arms of the judiciary, which is something people tend to forget. And of the three branches of government in the U.S. (Federal) but this also applies to each state with their individual constitutions, the judiciary was given the least amount of power of the three branches. But, as years have passed the courts have gained more power - Jefferson warned of this repeatedly stating the constitution wasn't intended to be interpreted. I always find it odd when people say the constitution is vague and needs interpretation when it's perhaps one of the most straightforward documents ever written. You could only use the argument of interpretation if you didn't like the document. Anyway, getting off track - as the courts have gained more power, their arms have gained more power, their arms being law enforcement, and we allow it because of the "it's all about keeping you safe" argument. This argument can be translated to "I can't take care of anything myself and I need you to do it for me" which is the argument for everything these days.


John Jay, first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court “Every member of the State ought diligently to read and to study the Constitution of his country…By knowing their rights, they will sooner perceive when they are violated and be the better prepared to defend and assert them.” Sadly, most think their rights and the rights of the state are whatever fits them in the moment and when those moments don't exist, well they could tell you more about the Kardashians than they could about anything of relevance.
