“Seriously, in what way did he over-react?”
Well the faceplant in the ground while he had a handful of her hair sprang to my attention.
Also he told her to leave and she was leaving then he went after her.
Sorry but when I was 14 had a cop been screaming at me that same way I have no idea how I would have acted. You know being a terrified kid and all.
She’s 14. There wasn’t any rioting just a pretty typical group of high school kids wearing bathing suits.
Sorry but the cop lost his temper and escalated the whole thing he was the one running around and screaming obscenities at people.
A typical high school English teacher deals with situations like that every day.
This wasn’t in the Hood. It was in suburbia there weren’t any gang coolers, no weapons, just a pissed off raving cop who lost his temper.
You notice the other two cops weren’t acting like that.
I see no evidence on the tape that the juvi was “terrified” or that the officer had “lost his temper”.
I guess we see what we want to see.
