Cop trading for sexual favors, ya he needs to find a new job. I don't know if he should be put to death though. The guy in the video, I don't know the whole story but it dosen't look very good to me.
Not every citizen is going to stab, shoot, ect a cop but the cop dosen't know that. Now I'm not talking about these kids but adult to adult. A few months ago I was trying to be nice to a guy, let my guard down and ended up in the fight of my life. So don't get me wrong I'm not sticking up for the video guy or the sexual favor guy but if a cop is being stand-offish he/she is probably just trying to be safe. If a cop dosen't believe you or is suspicious of you at first it's probably because criminals lie and are very good at it so we have to figureout whats going on.The T-Bone line was from the movie Tommy Boy, I thought it was funny. I assumed you were a butcher from you screen name......Oh ya and the kid probably did deserve a smack upside the head but by one of his parents not from the cop.....

 

Another exterminator here! Growing up I had many minor skirmishes with the law, more sever than what these kids were doing. I was never talked to in this manor by a cop. Most of the time everything was handled in a way that let me know who was boss, but that I should not be afraid of the police. I was arrested a little over a year ago and still feel I was treated fairly by the police, they were only doing their job and I respect them for that. But this guy seems to be why so many people hate cops, looked to me like he went on a power trip and abused his badge, and in doing so brought an even more negative spotlight on law enforcement. We shouldn't judge ALL cops by the actions of just one rotten one, and who knows, maybe he' a member of this forum!

Agree he didn't have to touch the kid.

 

You must show respect in order to get respect. I write about 15 traffic tickets a day and 95 % of the people I give tickets to say thank you to me. I beleive its because I still show them some respect and not treat them like garbage.

 

And by the way, I don't write motorcyclist, they all get breaks.

 

Bravo to the cop, I hope he gets a promotion. He as a little rough when taking the board away, but if the kid would have handed it over it wouldn't have been neccesary. No sympathy for the punk

 

A few things stick out in the video and the responses.

The cop is an adult... the 14 year old is a kid. I'm 38 years old and if someone walks up to me and degrades me and disrespects me, I can almost guaranteeI wont be saying yes sir or no sir.
I find it hard to believe that poor parenting is to blame for the kid not using proper manners. The next time any of those kids see an officer in the future, they will be reminded of how this cracker head treated them. I'd be willing to bet that they will look down on any officers they deal with in the future. No matter whatI teach my children, situations like this will force them to come up with their own oppinion.

As far as the being shot at, risk of AIDS, and the other dangers , I kinda think that is a known factor when taking the job. If ya cant handle that part of the job.... ya may wanna rethink your career choice. I can and do respect the people who work with these dangers on a day to day basis. The ones who I respect donot use excuses for bad behavior.

 

+1.......Amen brother.......

 

Wow, can't we all just get along? IMO there are bad apples in every profession. This dude is onejerk a$$ cop for sure.Was the kid trying to be cool in front of his friends? Yeah probably. Should he have beenmanhandled by the cop? No way. LikeI said, a bad apple in every bunch.

 

I was thinking just that while watching that spectacle; yeah I would be pissed if that were my kid.
