For what it's worth, which isn't much, I grew up one or two suburbs down and one day I had forgot to pay an expired registration ticket for my car so I got a bench warrant I think it was called. I was driving a nice car in a nice neighborhood and the police pulled me over and once they ran my license and found that outstanding ticket they pulled me out of the car, hadme stand with my hands on my head and my legs spread while two more cars came for backup and one cop drew his gun and pointed it at me, standing about two feet away while they frisked me.
Reportedly, this one cop was the first on the scene and had been at it for 45 minutes before the bikini girl incident.
It's obvious, he lost control over his emotions.
Yes, those two cops sprinted over to grab him so fast when he pulled that gun, you can see even they were concerned with how he was handling it and that he was going to do something stupid.
For people who keep saying the girl wouldn't shut up, etc...people who work in minimum wage jobs somehow manage to have obnoxious people who won't listen to them in their faces all day, and are somehow able to restrain themselves from throwing them to the ground. I would hope if the returns department clerk at Target can do it, a trained LEO would be able to control himself at least as well. Sometimes dealing with obnoxious people is part of a job, ask any nurse. Some cops do think they are above the law (I see many speeding on a regular basis). I think to a certain extent, some do things simply because they think they can. IMO, this cop is one of them. Not all cops, the others on scene handled things fine, but this one IMO is a poor example of a policeman.
I quoted and responded to a post in this thread, just like you quoted and responded to mine. This TOPIC is about young black behaviour. OR you might think it's about white cop berhaviour, but it's all on topic, so try distracting another poster.
Nope, race is irrelevant just like your previous post. This is about a brute cop going bonkers, stop with your race baiting.

2 things people of all races need to learn #1 when the police show up, shut up until you are spoken to. #2 when the police tell you to sit down, do it, and keep your mouth shut (see rule #1).
Everyone has a responsibility to respect everyone. And no matter who you are, badge, gun or not, you should be punished certainly, according to the severity of your breach of another's human/civil rights. Police are not inherently bad people. But too many are setting horrible civic examples due to lacking or poor training. And they do not need prejudiced people co-signing when they behave like the "thugs" they are sworn to defend the public from. If they are not encouraged to display positive conduct as they interact with the community, how could they ever expect it back from the public, when they too have been known to misbehave. Remember?
but white conservative males will still defend him molesting a 14 year old.
Exactly. What a disgusting perverted sack of you know what.
