    I mean WTF?!

    "You rolled up your window, you're under arrest."

    "That guys filming us doing illegal stupid shit, go pepper spray him and arrest him for nothing with excessive force."

    Oh, our body cams are on

    Dumbasses

    Every cop needs to be required to wear a bodycam while on duty at all times, no exceptions. They must not be allowed to turn them off. We need accountability.

    i clicked on the link. It wont open.
    Context. Who was the aggressor? Cops are going to detain the aggressor in these situations. If guy on couch is calm but guy getting handcuffed is still aggressive they will subdue the aggressive one.
    If in a mall, im sure there is video evidence showing what was going on right before they subdued and handcuffed the one kid?

    I saw the video. White guy was the aggressor. The white guy even continued taunting the black guy after the police kneeled on him and handcuffed him. You would think police would stop kneeling on black people after Floyd but hey.

    And for those in the other thread arguing systemic racism doesn't exist. It's right here.

    They only rebuttal i might have is the video stops as soon as the female cop gets up and goes to the other kid. Did he them get cuffed too?

    Looked like she was just telling him to sit back down. She had no cuffs out.

    Besides, it doesn't matter. The cops came, saw a fight between a white guy and a black guy and immediately assumed the black guy was the aggressor, pinned him down with their knees and hand cuffed him, while telling the white dude to sit down...who then gets up in an intimidating fashion and stands over the cuffed black guy mouthing off, with the air of his white privilege.

    Do we know if the cops were told the kid on the ground might have a weapon? If there is sound i cant listen. So not sure.
    Just thinking of all avenues( like a judge and jury would and should so before convicting)
    Before passing judgement. If the cops thought a weapon might be on a a body, they will absolutely subdue that person first.
    Some things do matter. Until all evidence and proof is out, ill reserve judgement, but i agree, its not a good look so far, at all.

    No justice. Black women got five years for registering to vote.
