The kid knew he was innocent of any criminal activity and was trying to document an inappropriate police response. What occurred however, was entirely within the bounds of appropriate police work.

Threatening to create something with which to charge him is "appropriate police work"?

Interesting take...

Brett: Why am I being detained officer? (directed toward Officer #4)
Officer #4: You better stop runnin your mouth or the other officer will find a reason to lock you up tonight.
(Audio can now be heard again)
3:22
Brett: You're saying you're going to make up a reason to arrest me?
Officer #4: No I didn't. I said we would find a reason.
Brett: Okay. I just want to let you know all of this is being recorded.


Yes that is appropriate police work. The boy is now questioning the officer about his motivation.The boy is now assuming the officer would "make up" a reason to arrest him. This is after the boy refused to answer a direct question. Officers are trained to understand these dynamics. Lives are at stake.
