Question

Check the video on abcnews.com

Answer 1

i hope the cop gets fired i had something happen to me like this once

Answer 2

Well, u already know how I feel about cops. Maybe it's because I've had "run-in's" with them or maybe it's because I pay attention 2 detail & people's personalities. I don't want 2 have a biased opinion so I will say that are some decent cops that are there when u need them, but some of them get away with things just 4 the fact that they're cops. They get a badge & think they can't talk 2 people any way they want 2 & get away with it until videos like this 1 get in the hands of the public. Thank God 4 video cameras. Did u see the cop who threw a parapalegic on the floor? Don't know if I ever told u, but I had a cop drag me down a hall by my arm, take me outside, & then throw me on the trunk of his car & say "I'm tired of your shhhh." Was that  rite? I think they overstep their boundries sometimes. As far as the cop in this video, I think he was probly picked on by some kids when HE was 14 & therefore has misplaced anger on these 14-year-old kids. Notice, how he reacted @ the end when he noticed the video camera!!! Everybody should carrry a video camera in their purse or abg & remember 2 use it!

Answer 3

When I was in 8th grade I had a teacher that , on one occasion, grabbed me by collar...pulled me out of my seat....and read me the riot act.

that was the way he dealt with mouthy wise a**ed kids.

and....to this day(I am 56)....I consider him the best teacher I ever had.

I don't think the cop was over the top.

I think kid learned something.
