this is awful.. towards the end when he's begging the officer not to shoot him

[Loukas]

what a douche of an officer

[Shaun]

in other news, grass is green

[GiRTh]

What are the usual bullsh*t excuses when vids like this are made? Its a difficult job or is it that the guy apparently said something in a apparently disrespectful voice. There can never be any excuse for an officer to come into someones home, without any cause and treat the like that.

Alot of Officers have a power trip. Nothing new unfortunately.

[AnnieK]

I so wanted that dog to jump up and bite him on the arse...

[Firewire]

pretty sure you can't arrest someone without telling them why you are arresting them

[Jordan.]

What does him being black have to do with it & it looked like he was trying to play the victim and make the cop look bad on camera tbh.

US Police officers abusing their position, sadly it's nothing new.

[Ramsay]

i am scared son i am scared!

[Vicky.]

Don't really see what colour has to do with it, but unfortunately officers abusing their position and basically being on a power trip is nothing new at all. Just need to watch a few of the protests and stuff we get over here to see that...

Cops deal with crazy criminals all day everyday. it's not surprising they can be a bit jumpy or even paranoid sometimes. It's not like cop killers wear a sign on their heads. In certain communities it's more like a war zone than a neighborhood, and cops need to act more like soldiers.

When a cop tells you to do something you do it, period. When you act sketchy like this guy, the cops will treat you like a sketchy mother****er. what's so hard to understand about that? Notice the guy is being argumentative and sketchy from the beginning.

I agree actually

Making excuses for pitiful police work due to a misplaced sense of patriotism is a terrible thing to do. The situation will never improve if you try to brush it under the rug. Policing is a hard job but one that comes with a lot of power and if someone can't handle that due to stress or general misuse of power then they don't deserve to be an officer, especially in a place like America where all officers carry guns.

Poor police work should never be accepted or tolerated because when the police screw up lives can be lost.

how is it patriotism? the police have nothing to do with America as a country. police forces are very localized in the US, none of them are hired by the federal government.

I certainly agree that we need better cops, but if better people, noble people, intellectual people are not wiling to be cops, then what do you do?

Why aren't better people applying to be cops? We need police, we need people willing to run into dangerous situations, but if smarter people are not willing to take on that job, then what do you do?

Unfortunately you are expecting intelligent, high-minded people to apply for police jobs, and thats just not going to happen. Smart people don't want to be cops. (and i don't blame them)

I just don't think you'd be on the officer's side if they weren't American.

You don't need to be that intelligent to be a good officer, you just need good training, discipline and a cool head. It's the Patrol and Beat officers that are often caught abusing their position so it's a problem with the officers lower down on the totem pole. Better training is needed as well as strict consequences for officers that abuse their power. You hear far too often about a precinct protecting an officer in the wrong instead doing the right thing by the victims.

Well i agree with pretty much everything you've said, but when people attack cops, and have an anti-cop mentality, it's not surprising that they try to protect each other, because you are creating an us vs. them situation. I don't think demonizing cops does anything to improve the situation.

and these type of videos don't help eigther, because for every bad cop video, there are 1000 situations where cops were being professional and reasonable, but those don't trend on twitter or make it to the front page of reddit, do they? so it paints an unfair picture when the only videos you see of cops are when there's a bad one.

There are plenty of bad teachers and bad doctors and bad every other profession too.

I don't feel comfortable jumping on the anti-cops bandwagon.

[Marsh.]

Oh no, he's black, we can't do anything to him even if he is acting suspiciously otherwise we're racist.

[Brother Leon]

The **** lol

All he asked is "what have I done sir?" He didn't resist arrest, disrespect the officer, or act "sketchy" or suspicious at all. Coming into someone's house and handcuffing them while threatening to pull out a gun without explaining why you are making the arrest is more sketchy than anything he done.

He was trying to hold the door closed, and telling the officer what he can or can't do by law. He was certainly not cooperative.

I always find it hilarious when crims think they know the law better than the cops. lol

how can you say he's not acting sketchy? is that how you'd react if a cop knocked on your door??

Not sure about in the US, but I'm nearly certain that our police have to tell you why you are being arrested, rather than just doing it and being an ignorant twat when being asked why :/

They can also only pin you down if you are being violent or trying to escape, not just coz they feel like it like this looks like

cops have to get the situation under control first. US cops have to tell you what you're being arrested for, but only AFTER the situation is under control. They don't have to explain themselves BEFORE they arrest you and get you in custody.

I'm sure after he was arrested he was told why he was being arrested.
