I think I’ve told the story here about the time I was nearly evicted from my apartment and the sheriff’s department showed up and I started having a panic attack and they reached for their guns. There was some small part of my brain saying “If you don’t pull your shit together right fucking now you are either going to…

A while back, I was walking in a local shopping plaza when a car hopped the curb and smacked into the front of a local rent to own store. Two cops were nearby, leaving Subway, and the first thing they did was draw their guns and rush toward the car. There was no survey or assess, there was “must shoot bad guy” in the…

This story is incredibly upsetting for anybody with young black boys in their lives. I can’t stop thinking about the little babies down the street from me and how this could have happened to any of them. It’s so sad.

Not to mention the people telling them he’s there kid right? Like ‘You’re looking for a runaway? Well I’m his grandmom.” Ridiculous

The most frustrating, maddening thing about this whole fucked up situation is that this kid clearly thinks he’s going to die. He’s terrified. He wets himself in honest to God fear of the alleged “peace keepers”.

I’m tired. He’s a baby peeing in fear and those bastards felt nothing.

I’m not going to watch this because I have boys and I just can’t. There was no need to CUFF him.

Gee all he had to do was shoot nine people in a church. Then they would’ve bought him a Whopper. Shit like this is why I don’t give one damn when one of them gets shot. Yeah I said it. Don’t care. Sorry like that article said a week or so ago, THERE ARE NO GOOD COPS!!!!!!!

Yeah... I can’t with this story. And to the whole “he shouldn’t have ran”, angle... suck my dick.

Let’s just assume (which is a big stretch) that it was appropriate to handcuff this kid. How long did he need to be handcuffed? [Frisk him for a gun]. What’s your name? Do you have a gun? Did you have a gun earlier?

That’s what, less than a minute?

This made me almost cry at my desk, and I didn’t even watch the video. This poor little boy. This will forever scar him, and that’s what they want.

She should just kill herself if she is depressed.

The cop was on his best behavior because the camera was on him. So “best behavior” is not beating the back person and seeming impartial. Proper behavior would be arresting the Patty for public intoxication.

No. I stated before earlier. That officer did not do his job. After assessing the situation, he should have charged her for Misuse of 911, hospital for eval, and once released from hospital, jail. He did not do his job.

ARREST HER!!! Misuse of 911 is a crime. Arrest her.

Nah. Cops not murdering and brutalizing everyone and anyone in their path is exactly their job. To recognize restraint and logic as something special just feeds into the notion that these assholes have the right to be death-dealing, invincible street gods. Police *are* the enemy when they wield power over life and…

The right course of action would have been to arrest this woman for harassment and wasting police resources. You KNOW that a POC who called the police for bullshit reasons would not get off with no consequences.

I’m sure it will include at least one mention of “I feared for my life, your honor!”

Oh god, this will most definitely happen, but not until the court appearance starts to obviously not be going her way. She’ll start out strong and defensive, and then when she realizes she’s fucked, tears.
