Baltimore Cop vs kid

[Warpath]

Elliot talked about this this morning. The cop has been suspended and thats probably the best thing. 'Dude' goes a bit overboard.

[sancho2613]

"a dude is someone who works in a ranch" damn he must of had a horrible day. If he wouldn't of said his name maybe he could of said it wasn't him lol

What a ****ing tool. Jesus, that DUDE needs to calm down. This is why cops get bad names, a tool like that guy. Took him forever to see the camera. Fire him, now.

I know a lot of cops. I can say that of the many I know 90% of them woudl react similarly. There are seriosuly only a few that are reasonable people the rest are a bunch of power hungry pieces of sh*t. At no point in that entire situation did he act like a responsible law enforcment agent. The kid should have just asked him to leave him alone and left.

This has got to be one of the most ignorant posts I have seen, and it's screams cop hater.
My neighbor to the right is a Sheriff, neighbor across the street is City police, and I have 5 close friends that are involved with some for of law enforcement. (7 total in state police / sheriff / or city) Not a single one of them is power hungry. They are great people that I bar-b-que with, drink occasion beers with and have a good time. They have very difficult jobs, and do their jobs with a TON of restraint. You should put yourselves in their shoes for 2 seconds. You have not one freakin clue what these guys go through on a day to day basis.
I am not defending the guy in the video, he acted out of line, but he has some truth to his comments. Kids do not treat police with respect, and I can only assume you are a kid with a comment like "the kid should have just asked him to leave him alone and left." What kind of nonsense is that? The kid SHOULD have apologized to the officer and stop calling him dude. To me, there were two people in the wrong in that video. The cop was absolutely wrong by throwing the kid down, and the kid was wrong by not listening and abiding by what the cop wanted. It would have went a whole lot smoother if the kid wasn't being a little punk...and I'm sure there was more to the video than what we saw.
This is a good tool for listening to people talk about the police, if you have ever been arrested and you have something bad to say about the police, you should be ignored. 99 times out of 100, it's your fault, and you escalated the situation with your mouth.
Sure there are bad apples in law enforcement, but they are few and far between.

I lean to the right when it comes to crime and punishment and I think most offenses (depending on the situation) should be punished.. Pretty severely. But all I see in this video is a 14 year old kid, being a 14 year old kid. If he was 16 or 17 then I could understand what you're saying but kids are in no way like the kids of the 70s and 80s where they were brought up with respect.

This kid is like a cupcake compared to the kids I had to deal with in high school. Those kids that went to the public school up the street from me.. Inner city kids. It was a scary thing.

If your knowingly breaking the law and a police officer gives you a warning to stop. Then comes back later and finds you still doing it. He should have the right to kick the s*** out of your dumbass. You were warned! If the kid had just relinquished his board, the cop wouldn't have had to put his butt in the dirt. That guy puts his life on the line everyday to work in Baltimore City, and for his trouble he gets to be disrespected by punk kids. Shame on their parents for not teaching them better.

I have no doubt it would have escalated to a disgusting level had it been with one of those inner city kids you speak of.

So where has all the respect gone?

Actually the whole video is kind of relevant, now that I think about it. Dealing with anger is very difficult.

[onlydarksets]

Scary.

I love the end, though - "Is that camera on? If I find myself on..."

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

That's funny that it was taped what the hell is wrong with that cop?

[hooskins]

I hope the parents sue the cop. he clearly has a grasp around the kid's neck and he does slam him. A cop should have patience regardless of how he is referred to. "Dude" and "man" should not warrant abuse.

[BleedBurgundy]

Well at least they make him drive that retarded ass mr. magoo car. What a ****ing idiot. How low is your self-esteem that you treat a child like that? And yeah, people get killed all the time for saying "dude" and "man."
