What this story doesn't make clear is that he was roughhousing with his friend. The Beach cops came over on their ATV, told them to knock it off. Then they asked the kid where is mother was. He tried to walk away.

The police say the 14-year-old kid gave them "'dehumanizing stares,' clenched his fists and appeared threatening." So they put him in a chokehold and arrested him.

Cell phone video at the link. a little later in the thread.

Contempt of cop...




At 14 I was contemptuous of everyone over 16 without boobs.....

WTF are kids supposed to do today?

Comply, what else?

Boys, especially.

Failure to comply means you will quickly join three million of your brothers in prison.

ETA - And the fast way around that, is to join the enforcement class.

Then, compliance becomes much less bothersome.

It's the kid's fault because he is black, you see.

The video on that site is annoying as all fuck. The commercial is on repeat. So, here's the tube of it.

Cops are aggressive to long-haired white kids too, Mexicans, Orientals etc...

At 14 I was a long-haired dope smoking, moonshine drinking hillbilly running loose in the Ozarks......Cops'd give me a hard time too...

Officer safety. They are a separate class of humans from the rest of us. Dehumanizing stares? Grow a pair dude. It is all to make sure that the only response that will be tolerated towards your superiors (police) are the roll over and pee submissive posture. All others will be stated in reports filed as being aggressive and officer safety required lethal or semi-lethal force to be applied. Anyone who questions this is an outlier and needs re-education as they pose a threat to the human group.

Well, lucky he didn't get shot then.

They also hate Bikers, Skaters and everything in between, cops hate everyone including themselves, in fact ,their contempt for their own being is why they lash out, hyper paranoid pigs need safety goggles to look in a mirror.

We were not concerned about a puppy. We were concerned for the officer's safety.

... but that's only good for a short time. They don't like too many 'good' people in those ranks for very long anymore... I know.... Too bad we've changed from peace keeping to law enforcement—although, it's been a very long time since cops were peace officers as opposed to 'enforcers'.

They're agressive to short haired white kids too. The ones that don't kiss their boots that is.

A similar looking experience happened to me when I was about that age at school. A cop took me to a broom closet that had chairs set up. Sat me down and tried to interrogate me about something stupid. ("contributing to a minor" I believe it was, though I was like 13-14) I told them that I was not saying anything with my lawyer present. That if they were going to charge me to charge me and if not to let me go back to class. They called my mom and told her that I said I wanted a lawyer present. She thought it was hilarious. You should have seen it, principal playing good cop, pig screaming at me. It's funny now that I think about it.

Anyways, this said 'resource pig' used to slam me into the lockers routinely. "I will take you down, punk!" Lmao.

I believe they invoked the old cliche of, "immediate threat."

They obviously have very good senses of humors.

How does one clinch their fists and flail arms while holding a puppy?

ANd his little dog, too!

The world is dangerous. There are threats everywhere. It was a pre-emptive strike to neutralize the threat.

Imminent threat. A drone strike would be the appropriate procedure.

IIRC, it was a scrawny girl in a jail cell who got slammed. It was a girl who got tased then fell backwards and busted open her skull. Then there was a girl who recently got pushed down a flight of stairs. An elderly woman shot in the face for driving away. All for non-compliance. It's not like there's any semblance of chivalry.

I know you're mad at us quite often, but don't think that we've got it much better than you boys do.
