WTF is up with this cop?

The nature of the job attracts power hungry control freaks, and that's reinforced by their training and camaraderie. And if he needs help arresting an unarmed young girl then he's a pathetic excuse for a cop. They also make a hobby of bullying minorities, and aboriginals are treated as punching bags. The women recording know their rights, and know that they are not legally required to accede to his demands. He would have erased the evidence, and we never would have seen it.

Did the mother call the cops?

The person being arrested is really the one in control regarding the amount of force the police will use.

Listen to every cop arrest.

Stop you are under arrest for xxxxx. Turn around put your hands behind your back. Cop hand cuffs person, reads their rights, writes person was cooperative during arrest. Which goes a long way when it comes to trial and Bail.

Also, that Cop was put to the ground the same way at least 1000 times. How do you think they learn that move and make it effective with out injuries to the people arrested.

Now if the arrest is unlawful I get on it with the cop. Fuck them when they are wrong, no one is above the law.

In this case just what we see, he acted as trained.

Its a tough job being a cop. Stop spreading the hate and toxic attitude towards people just doing their job to protect us. What have you done to support our cops? Why always complain but yet they are the ones risking their lives. You are not a pawn, you deserve better. Who is your shepherd? Why allow the criminals and groups motivated by political agendas to brainwash you to make you believe cops are the bad guys so you contribute to their undermining?

So a cop wants help when a teenage girl is allegedly assaulting him. Cops are losers from high school who want revenge.

The cop did nothing wrong. If you go by information from the video exclusively then he was not in the wrong. If the cop was spit on ( assault ) then he was within his right to arrest her. A defiant little girl the spits on cops needs to be taught a lesson. A taste of the system now might set her straight. Theaaa cop can not risk getting stabbed or getting a finger in the eye and must restrain her just like he would an adult.

WAZ,

Were you bullied in high school?

I'm a person concerned with the slippery slope of government empowerment, but I thought the police did an alright job here. Sometimes people just need their asses kicked a bit.

Broad paintbrush. There are lots of reasons why people become police officers; lots of them are noble reasons... We have to weed out the bad ones and support the good ones.

PS - I couldn't be a cop! I'm pretty sure I'd do great things, but I'd never give a street bum mouth-to-mouth CPR, I'd never arrest a SP or John, I'd cut people slack on DUI if I felt they were in a bad place (but never a second time) and I can't stand hard drug use... I'm pretty sure I'd shoot people too and not flinch nor worry about it (I've stayed away from all guns).

You are stating the obvious.

Maybe these guys are under a lot of pressure because its a fad now to put them under the microscope and take your phone out when performing an arrest and treat them like a bad guy.

This kind of pressure takes a huge toll on anyone especially when the e people risk their lives to protect us as a job. I can see why he did it in the moment and how this social media subconsciously contributed to it. I don’t agree with it, however I think his intentions were good without realizing what he was actually doing by breaking privacy at the moment triggered by the fear or being blasted and making front cover on social medium. Reality is that it is starting to undermine the cops and their moral. Eventually this will come at an indirect price.

I am not getting into what the cop did with the girl.

My issue is with how he behaved towards the ”witnesses” I don't think he is right for telling the witness about the 16-year young offender. I don't think he was right for telling them that mom called and she was drunk etc. I don't think he was right for basically whining and asking why they didn't stop to support him. He was pissed they were concerned about the girl, not him.

He got all aggressive with his ”warrant for phone” and telling them they witness the girls assault on him. Told them they had to give over information and then when he was done with his little whiny bitchfest, he didn't even collect the info he was demanding!

So two part here:

Was he being a little whiny asshole at the end?
Does he have the right to tell total strangers about the YO he was arresting?

Cops are a necessary evil but you can't expect too much from them. Of the three times I felt in real danger they were all caused by police (in the plural) acting aggressively when it was not called for in the least. In one instance they were the instigators - no question - and they (there was about 10 of them) were terrorizing a 50 year old native woman with her kids. They (male and female cops) were revelling in her fear. I was utterly disgusted.

That said, cops face pretty nasty types and I suspect many of them have PTSD, substance abuse problems, sociopathic tendencies arising from these daily interactions. Also, cops and military tend to be self selecting and are not known for having patience, empathy, or diplomatic skills. They tend to prioritize obedience, order and rapid reactions over anything else. Not a job I would ever want though.
