That means that your grandmother had seen some shit in her day and was not to be fucked with. We need more grandmothers like that.

Pretty much sounds like a reenactment of that incident. Crazy man assumes a crime is afoot, calls police, takes the law into his own hands, and when he attacks an innocent child, and the child fights back, he takes the violence up a notch. 

It’s EXACTLY how Trayvon was killed.

It’s clearly not. It’s multiple. Assault, battery, some variation of false imprisonment... we all know they won’t but maybe some child abuse in there.

“So he got upset, ran across the street and ran up to my son and basically said: ‘I’m gonna give you a head start, you better run.’

The only actually shocking part of this entire story (as sad as this sounds) is that somehow the 13-year old was not charged with assault, assault with a deadly weapon, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest (I’m assuming the cops could argue playground paul was performing a citizen arrest), and assault on a police…

I can’t wait to hear the explanations from the people in charge to explain why their officers stated such things, esp. when there is fucking VIDEO evidence!

Hell, in the messages contained within the post, it sounds like three people already beat the fuck outta him like 10 years back for fucking with someone else - seems like he doesn’t learn lessons easily.

Seriously. Can you imagine the wave of reaction to a video of a 46 year old black dude holding down a 13 year old white boy? And then threatening to hit his 16 year old white sister while she records him because she won’t shut up? Fuckin’ hell, I think several entire states may just simply self-combust.

If I EVER see a grown man pinning my child down on a playground, he’ll be removing his teeth from whatever object I stomp his head into. This “man” needs to have the living shit beat out of him, then thrown into jail.

Exactly! It’s only an offense when black people do it!

with the hope of giving the guy permanent brain damage

Is anything an overreaction when a child is being beat by a 46 year old man? I know what you mean but... If a playground-raging middle aged man is on top of a kid screaming in pain, I’d go with bottle/tire iron/Maglite to the head, repeatedly, any day.

I’m glad they got social workers involved; it’s a damn shame they had to, but SOMEONE has to shame the police into doing their damn jobs.

You’re a little late for permanent brain damage, that ship has sailed.

It's enough to cause a rage stroke. Who but the most cowardly and power hungry does this to a child? 

“They were trying to say that they weren’t going to arrest him, this wasn’t an arrestable offense, and I went off on them,”

The child was brutalized ON CAMERA and the parents had to get social workers to advocate for charges?? And they claimed that there's equity in law enforcement. Bullshit. Let this have been a Black or Latino man pinning a white child down like this. He would've been executed swiftly by the police upon their arrival.

when I watch this shit, my blood boils and wish I was there, the only problem is I would over react, like grab a glass bottle or the jack from my car and hit it over the wannabe MMA guy’s head with the hope of giving the guy permanent brain damage, or even better him becoming a living vegetable.

A grown man attacks a 13 year old boy and cops are like “Well I don’t see a crime here.”
