Video Shows California Officer Punching 14-Year-Old
- Thread starter T'Chakku
- Start date
Yeah a black guy started kneeling at football games and a lot of white people lost their fucking shit. How disrespectful. This isn't the place. Now is not the time. Etc, etc. I tried arguing with other white people about this shit and it got so tiring. How do you guys put up with it all the fucking time?
I'm really just tired of seeing this shit. This motherfucker will get a slap on the wrist at most and then he'll get a job in another county and be just fine beating up black guys the rest of his life. Dude should be behind bars or 6 feet under, but instead he'll probably be inconvenienced with paid leave and a moving day.
Fuck the police. Fuck especially this police officer. Fuck those that both sides this shit. Fuck anyone who victim blames this. This shit has me heated. Piece of shit is no doubt stronger than this kid and has to resort to clear excessive force to control him? Piece of shit. And it enrages me to know that NOTHING will happen to this shit stain.
My favorite (/s) game is "Guess the race of the victim based on the title."
I have a perfect score so far.
Ugh.

The Shield was actually based on a real thing, but in real life it wasn't just a handful of cops, it was 70+ cops.
You seriously need to grow up and get some lived experience before you start trying to tell people that have been dealing with the justice system longer than you have been alive that they are wrong.
You straight up have no clue what the fuck you are talking about, so you would probably be better off not saying anything.
always thought it was sketchy in movies when the arresting officer would recite the Miranda rights in a condescending manner
basically getting formalities out of the way before they fuck you over
User banned (permanent): Defending police brutality. History of severe infractions.
I mean what would you rather have the officer do? Tase the kid? He's clearly resisting and trying to get away. I think I'd rather take a few half-assed punches than be incapacitated by thousands of volts of electricity and potentially slam my head on the sidewalk.
(I fully expect to be banned for this post.)

I've got fucked witj by police dozens of times minimal because I used to skate every day. We sued are police department cuz they manhandled a bunch of us one day.. they planned raid on us and arrested a bunch of us. Typically we'd run and get away but they had a dozen cars for skateboarders 🤡
If you can make things better in the states and cities where you are a majority , what hope exists for anything else?
Fuck the police, that dude is skinny as fuck and obviously didn't need to use that much force.
Damn son you can see the future.
So all cops are automatically bad? That's bullshit. I'm not saying that there isn't shit wrong with the justice system, cause I've seen racial profiling first hand, but not all cops are bad.
Let alone have the right to be a parent, if that guy has kids, poor kids.
I'm so glad the kid isn't dead jfc I can't believe that's a thing that needs to be said
It's well known enough to be an extremely common trope in entertainment.
Hasn't weed been legal in Cali for like 15 years now, wtf was his justification for even approaching him? I'm assuming when they said swisha they meant a blunt.
No crime was being committed.
I don't see how he doesn't get fired in this scenario.

How many active cops are fighting against the system right now? Where are they when videos like this emerge? The "good cops" silence is deafening.
First the "good cops" are the outliers not the other way around. More importantly if you protect all cops for being cops, dont speak up, follow the "thin blue line" etc, how good can you be even if your not doing it yourself.
Aiding and abetting is a thing, andyou would get charged either that or obstruction of justice if you don't report a crime or abuse of power, but it's okay for them to do and they get to still be "good"?
No.
Seriously I am trying to be nice and give you leeway since your so young, but you're wrong.
The system actively discourages being a "Good Cop" so yes, they're all automatically bad.
I don't care what the kid's history is, or how long his rap-sheet is.
This is straight up fucked up.
Fuck you piggy.

that's cool that you've seen racial profiling
but have you ever fucking experienced it
Hey thats tight that you've seen it
You've experienced it of course right?
And charged with assault.
I mean, I can see how he doesn't, but he absolutely should be.
Ok so the arguement is well my nephew isnt about to die so I'll just watch? Also how are we so positive the uncle would die but during this situation we know the kid will not?
The garbage cop would've really looked like a hero then by killing an uncle and getting a phone call from Trump
because the second he moved closer and seemed like a threat he'd get shot and people on the internet would justify his death saying he shouldn't have interfered
this isn't hard
Bro as soon as another person jumps in that pig is pulling his gun out. He would murder them both then, and the city would throw him a maga parade.
And the cops backup would arrive and beat or kill you too. Filming is often the only/best thing bystanders can do in these situations because it shines the light on it as best as they can. Had the uncle jumped in the Cop gets to claim he was jumped and twist the narrative in his favor.
Well I dont really care about opinions when someone I care about is in danger. People could justify whatever they want.
At what point do you stop filming and try to help though? I think I know plenty of people willing to risk a beating or arrest to save a loved one. Sometimes it's more important to help someone out then to shine a light. I could be wrong that it just hadn't escalated far enough yet risk stepping in but man would I find it hard to watch a cop hit a kid in front me.
When the person who is doing the beating is armed and has the ability to call upon more armed thugs to assist him, you think twice. The uncle stepping in could have gotten both he and his nephew killed in a heartbeat in that situation.
My kid is 5. Even now my wife and I have discussed how to deal with this subject because we have zero faith law enforcement in the United States is going to change by the time she's older and possibly in a situation where she ends up interacting with law enforcement without us present.
We already have a series of age appropriate plans to teach her about various aspects of how her ethnicity can impact her experience with authority figures in this country. Now, here we are two random people doing all this planning for a 5 year old..
But law enforcement can't be expected to be equally prepared and trained to a child?? That's what irritates me. We expect the person being detained not to show emotion, get afraid and pull away with no real intent to cause harm to the officer, but when it comes to our expectations of police we seem to lower the bar for them but raise it for civilians.
"Well, teach your kid not be criminal scum!" is the common retort. But what happens when we refuse to teach law enforcement the same thing? This. This is what happens. Compounded with the fact they're more likely to view black people as criminals. By default.

It's not hard to understand why the uncle wouldn't jump in. He could've been thinking as soon as he makes a move he's dead and possibly his nephew is dead too
The person using the force is a white cop.
The minor is black.
That's the reason.
Gestures broadly at every story a black person is killed by police in the US for not complying well enough to the polices liking.
I don't need to watch the video, cause it will make my stomach turn.
Fuck this guy.
Tiny kid, giant cop, completely unjustified level of force.
Should be facing battery charges, but that's never going to happen here in America.
