... of my biggest nightmares that these thug fuckin cops will be able to murder my child and do such on camera cause there's no accountability.
These boys were doing nothing but walking down the middle of the street and they grabbed them from behind for that ?!

(15,257 posts)Perhaps Tulsa and Oklahoma and the south in general can try to couch their violence against non-whites under a title of law enforcement. But it is exposed for the racial hatred that it is.

(17,863 posts)Not much to it. They need to come to my suburban neighborhood. We have folks walking on the street all the time. That looks like a little traveled access road. That is BS accosting them like that. At most they should go up to the kids and tell them to move to the side of the road and walk against traffic for safety - in a friendly manner.

These cops choke out a kid on camera after world wide protest against a guy being choked out on camera by the cops !!!
WTF ?!
One thing Floyd's death has illuminated is how out of control some PD's are.
Not all PD's but enough to have to reform them

Most depressing. I hope there can be change. Was there on car passing during the whole 20 minutes? Yet somehow walking in the middle of the street is time to "Arrest" (or was it detain) the kids and take them to the station?
What a bunch of shit. BLM!

* Terrance Crutcher had car trouble. White female cop who saw stopped car killed him 'in fear for her life' IIRC husband also a cop was in copter above
IIRC Crutcher's father is a well-known musician

(244 posts)Thanks for sharing. The more this gets out, the more we can keep the momentum going. Folks are outraged, and should be.
I assume that you reported this to the local police department. If so, what happened? Can you please keep us updated?

(707 posts)I was military intelligence in the 90s trying to help in Bosnia. We would have lost support of the population for far less than I see at home all the time. Something has to change we have to remove the cancer.
Training police officers as if they are going off to some imaginary war is wrong, because in war we dont act this way.

(21,466 posts)run when approached or stopped by cops. It's not a sign if guilt. It's an indication of well justified fear. Same for resisting arrest, especially when the arrest is unjustified harrassment. What sane person would willingly submit to being incapacitated by handcuffs and driven away by armed persons with a history of murders?
There was zero purpose for arresting those kids. It was deliberate racial harrassment and attempt to intimidate. This is too frequent to be "bad apples." It is more like a deliberate movement that has permeated PD's across the country with unified pupose.

(8,380 posts)especially young men, especially young Black men, for no reason, they will become agitated because they DO NOT TRUST YOU WILL NOT HURT THEM.
How hard would it have been for those officers to cruise by them and say, "Please walk down the side of the street so you don't get hurt"?
"We're not that kind of cops." Sure you are.

(6,699 posts)These are a pair of "out of control thugs with a badge". The young lad didn't help by being defiant at all, but that isn't the point. These two thugs were looking for trouble. Handcuffing a pair of innocent young boys out walking around, with NO REASONABLE CAUSE OF A CRIME, is what this is all about.
God...this has to stop. WTF is the matter with these thugs, and these police departments that support such fascist thuggery.

(8,203 posts)I made myself watch to the end, and the cops lied lied lied when adults showed up. Actually, they were gaslighting the teens as it was happening. They had the nerve to end it with "Be safe" using their nicey nice voices. The other teen was right when he called them evil.
And I'm not sure if it was them or if they were listening to dispatch, but I think I heard those cops say that these kids looked suspicious. We know what they meant by that.
I believe the teen when he said the one cop touched him.

(65,042 posts)The current situation may be leading to major reforms regarding police conduct. So, it almost looks like some of these tools are getting in their last shots before prosecution for excessive force gets easier.
One would think the events and the "everybody is carrying an HD video recorder" would limit this stuff. But it's not limited.
That's why I'm thinking one last round. Drink up, boys! Get those batons ready and practice those chokeholds.
