(116,043 posts)view them as threats. He told the video taker to go away in a calm voice, and he didn't which is good because he continued to film it. He yelled "get your asses" across the street at the black and hispanic kids, then "get your asses on the ground" while pulling them around.
The big man was ignored, obviously not a threat like a skinny teenager in a bikini.
How was the girl walking away AS HE ORDERED such a threat he had to run to grab her, drag her back, throw her down and kneel with both knees on her back while screaming at her?
Odd, isn't it?
"That they were white and the others were African Americans may be the result of racial prejudice but it could be the result of other factors. i.e. the Officers did NOT see the need to order them to do anything. "
Uh huh. The only kids grabbed were black and hispanic. The only kids he threw around were black and hispanic. The only people he viewed as a threat were black and hispanic. The only kids cussed at were black and hispanic. The ones talked to, not screamed at, were white.
Odd, isn't it, that that over reacting cop saw the need to ONLY scream at and physically throw about the black and hispanic kids even though they were hanging out with and acting the same as the white kids. That is a very good example of racism, right there.
