Some people have nothing to do but whine, beytoch and moan,......Just like the perosn who called 911 about a black person walking down the street with their hands in their pocket...
i love this. i love everything about it. he is showing that police are not all meanies and they are "people" too. there was nothing wrong (that we know from that video) with what they were doing. i love that he joined in and had some fun with them. i think it will help with their future (if they have future) interaction they may have with police. sets a good example. i like this guy!
I personally love hearing kids out playing and laughing in the street! Would the people who called to complain rather discourage that and have them go back to their X-boxes and frozen in front of a TV instead of exercising and socializing? It was pretty cool of the officer to do that.
If law enforcement in this county is to ever get back on the right track, this is how to do it!
Be a part of community and get to know people on first name bases.
Yes, its called community policing and its actually very effective. Its closely related to having beat cops and proactive policing.
This is a great thing! Imo having a cop come off as approachable and willing to engage these kids in a way so that they didn't feel like some big bad cop was telling them to stop having fun. Shows that cops aren't the bad guys.
At the end of the video he asked the kids to keep it down.
Also, who cares if they were being noisy? They're kids playing outside during the day. Who would complain about that?!
Guess you've never lived in a situation where your buffoon neighbor sets up a basketball net in the most obtrusive, public area possible then lets his kids and 10 of their little friends "play" out there unsupervised for hours on end. By "play" I mean screaming at the top of their lungs over and over and over and over for no reason, blocking traffic/refusing to move out of the street, breaking the odd mailbox here and there, leaving their crap all over the place when they finally go inside, etc etc. Who would complain?
Folks have a right to live in their homes without this kind of nonsense and you get to the end of your rope with it, like these neighbors obviously did. I wouldn't have called the cops though, rather not get into that. Meh.
