Video: Vacaville police officer shoves, hits teenage boy with autism

VACAVILLE, Calif. (KTXL) — Ring video captured Wednesday afternoon shows a teenage boy with autism being slammed and punched in the face repeatedly by a Vacaville police officer.

“I just want my son to be able to play and interact with people and not be bullied,” said Adam Wolf, whose 17-year-old son, Preston, was detained by officers. “I was angry.”

Wolf explained his son has autism and ADHD.


WARNING: Video is extremely disturbing!

The cop even says "Don't make me hurt you more."

Abuser language.

How many of these police officers have domestic abuse that's covered up going on at home? They don't pull the "don't make me hurt you" out of nowhere....

Police Reform starts with psychological screening and evaluation.
Narcissistic, borderline personalities need not apply.

This behavior is more psychopathic (if they are born this way) or sociopathic (if they were created).

It is the Triad of Toxicity (Narcissism, Psychopathy, Megalomania). . .with a lot of Machiavellian ideas thrown in for good measure (no one will care in five years if I beat this person to a pulp. . .besides it will help me and it is better to be feared if you cannot be loved).

I said that in my OP. . ."don't make me hurt you more". . .classic abuser, probably physically but definitely gaslighting and psychological/emotional abuse in his life.

In that world of law enforcement, that type of bravado will always get you ahead, especially when you have a sergeant making excuses for you.

considered candidates must pass to be considered for advancement in the hiring process. The candidate must score high in the authoritarian parameters and be low average for critical thinking. It’s the same test the military used and the opposite to what paramedics and firefighters are screened for.
