Police abuse

The full video is unbelievable.

While the other cops seem to act like human beings, that one cop is out of control. He does a barrel roll like he's in a war zone.

He tripped. He didn't do a commando barrel roll like some donkey in a Seth Rogan movie. Geezuz man.

I'm starting to think some here feel that the moment cops come to any tricky situations... they should tuck their tail between their legs and whimper off. The cops showed incredible restraint as that gaggle of idiots grabbed at their gear multiple times as they were trying to gain control of the situation.

"They're just kids..." Yah. So what? They're not exactly toddlers and are they too stupid to understand things have escalated to a point where the police have been called sooo... party over? Move along... just like me and my friends did back in our day when the cops were called by someone needing their assistance.

I guess the police should have ignored the call and allowed the party to run its course? Is this what you are saying? Maybe you are saying the police should have come in and called everyone over for a nice talk about respecting people's property and offered all the kids rides home? I'm sure the kids would have responded very well to that tactic.

Why can't these kids just listen to the cops? The girl that was tackled was running her mouth and not complying to the officers demands. It all boils down to one thing: COMPLY WITH THE POLICE.

Cops have to be able to protect themselves. When the cop tried to subdue the girl he had two guys come up from behind. Sorry but his life was in danger and he rightfully needed to take evasive actions. He didn't shoot anyone. He didn't beat anyone up. We created this society with our gun happy culture. This is what happens. Also don't feel this has anything to do with race.

Cops where called to assist security guard that was over matched by twitter party invite violating pool rules of guests per tenant. Police came to assist and sure if the teens left we wouldn't be hearing of this.

There's a balance to this and I'm very critical of police and recent events. This though may be going to far.

As to racist comment like to hear more details.

The problem is that the cop had no reason to "subdue" the girl in the first place. He wasn't responding to a dangerous situation, that's bullshit, he was CREATING a dangerous situation.

You seem downright desperate to defend cops. Nobody grabbed at his gear until he assaulted a teenage girl for no reason. Power tripping asshole. She was walking away, he told them to disperse and they were complying, but because he didn't approve of her use of free speech he decided to assault her. He's lucky he didn't get knocked out. I don't care who you are, I am swinging at your face hard if you lay hands on a woman without provocation.

Look in the mirror. You seem downright desperate to condemn cops. I have been critical of cops when criticism has been warranted. In this situation, nobody was hurthurt and a situation was handled.

I notice you never said how you thought this situation should have been handled? Ignore the call? Say "pretty please" to get their gear given back to them after the children took it off them when they were performing their duties? As soon as the children became belligerent, scuttle into the cars and drive away? Call the children in for a fireside chat?

Can you please tell us the way these incompetents should have handled this in a way that produced results for the homeowners that called for their assistance?

These are the police. Someone earlier said it- they are not parents. When they are on the scene, things have gone too far. Time to grab your towels and move along- not taunt them, try and steal the equipment attached to their belt, or lunge at them.

Unfreakingbelievable.

I was tailgating a Browns game one year when a 15-20 man brawl broke out, none of the responding officers acted like this asshole. Through all the shouting and crowds, the bloody noses and unruly drunks, the officers kept their cool and de-escalated the situation.
That's the difference between exemplary police work and a power tripping asshole who deserves a fist to the jaw.

Where is this stealing of the equipment you are talking about? I didn't see anything of the sort.

You want to know how I think the situation should have been handled?
It should be handled exactly as it was by all the officers on scene but the one who was on a power trip. The situation was handled well, they responded with necessary force and calmed the situation until this jagaloon got everyone worked up with his unwarranted violence.

It's hard to tell from the video, but the initial chase seemed to be two cops running after a kid who had one of the cop's flashlights. The professional officer is handed an item that he had lost- I think that might have been from when he tripped (or performed his action war zone roll as one member frothing at the mouth described).

At the 50 minute mark (or so), one of the cops (the jagaloon I believe) is wrestling his flashlight from the hands of one of the children.

It's really hard to tell what started the 'buzz'. Are you sure the 'jagaloon' jumped out of the car and roared around fanning the flames in what should have been a piece of cake? Is it possible, before you drop him from the ledge, that things got shitty because they were trying to deal with the situation in a calm manner that was met with resistance and belligerence? And things got tenser as a result?

it's much easier to sit behind a computer and 'suggest' how someone would react in a tense situation. this cop may be an asshole but he didn't do anything criminal in this case. why is this a big story?

If it was your sister/wife/GF/mother/cousin/friend would you still be dismissing it as no big deal? Would you still think she got what she deserved for crashing a pool?
