159. Don't you think the cop should have actually tried to find out who called . . .

Mon Jun 8, 2015, 02:15 PM

Jun 2015

maybe talked to people instead of just going after only the black kids?

THE SHORT COP ESCALATED THE SITUATION TEN-FOLD with his racist assumptions that only the black people were at fault.

It's all right there in the video — his cursing at the black kids, his cuffing the black teenage boys, his threats to arrest other black teens, his egregious manhandling and taking to the ground of the teenage girl and then the drawing his gun and chasing after other black teenagers (only to be stopped by the two sensible officers).

The short cop did none of that to the many whites who were around, including the big guy in the denim shorts or the white teen videoing the whole thing.

There are no excuses for this out-of-control behavior so pls stop making them. That short, loose cannon cop does not have the disposition or patience to ascertain what's going on and to deescalate a situation and thus should not be entrusted with a gun.

Fire his ass!

(Glad my 4000th post was on a worthwhile subject — Black lives and Black teenagers rights matter)
