In these type of situations, they should never be acquitted or found not guilty.
The second video seemed like the cop had a score to settle with the skateboarders. Well, no not really, hehe. Those kids were clearly breaking the law by skateboarding on city sidewalks and interfering with the first and subsequent arrests. However, that girl wasn't really doing anything wrong..., well, yes she was.  The cop told her to sit down, she refused and started running her mouth. So, that situation appears to be justifiable use of force.  Besides, as was mentioned, some of those bratty little kids deserve what they get. |
yeah the first one i only watched once, and i cant watch it at work, but ill review it back home. plus the sound sucks (at least on my end). but you never know, the guy could have been reaching in his pockets or pants for "something"
there was a guy in E. St. Louis when I was growin up that got shot by a cop in a gas station, cus the guy reached in his pocket and pulled out a silver "object". granted the cop was hasty and pulled his gun and shot and killed the guy... because he was answering his cell phone. but the guy did have a gun. in his ankle holster. but on the video the guy looked around suspiciously then reached in his pocket and pulled the phone out quickly, and the cop got hasty and pulled his gun first before verifying what the guy had. but whos to say the cop didnt save the lives of himself and the other patrons of the gas station? the guy could have been planning to rob the place, but we'll never know.
and as far as settling a score with the skateboarders, kids these days need to learn some F***ing manners. im starting to sound old, but when I was growin up, if you backtalked to an adult, you got backslapped! too many parents sparing the rod and spoiling the child. nuf said.
