“Did he act out here? Did the officers feel the need to send a message.”
The kid was just standing there while on the phone to his LEO father. You can hear the cops say “We gotta get the phone.” Then the a-hole tackles him and starts beating him, as the camera pans away.
Was there a video link that I missed?
I looked around and found it. That officer has a real problem IMO. Not only should the guy be fired outright, he should serve considerable jail time for attacking the kid.
That kid wasn’t doing anything physically threatening to the officer. He wasn’t disobeying an order.
The officer wanted the phone and to punish him for being on it.
Toss the book at the officer, since he was so willing to throw out the book with regard to the kid.
What a jackass. And the union thinks this was defensible? B.S.
