Why do people keep saying the kids had attitude problems? Sure, some of them copped an attitude, but only AFTER the lunatic cop started manhandling them and cussing them out, getting in their face around 0:33. Anyone would get an attitude after that. Before that, they were having a calm conversation with the other cop.
I'ma need some of you to watch the video again and actually pay attention this time. The four boys on the grass, in particular, were very polite the entire time. The one kid is calling the officer sir as he's being wrestled to the ground. The girls only start getting belligerent after he runs up in their face and starts cussing at them, and even then, they were already leaving like he told them to.
Like someone already said, these don't seem like "ratchet, ghetto black kids". They're much too quiet and polite. They're teenagers. Sassiness comes with the package. The cops are adults, they should know better than to react to that.
But of course, racists only see what they wanna see. It's always the blacks' fault somehow.
I'm watching the first video and the brunette buzzcut guy who's telling the boys they were "a part of the mob" is barely able to speak because of how aroused he is/the adrenaline coursing through his veins.
So disheartening that none of the black Forbes set will utter a word on this subject.
These are your faves, kids. The ones y'all stan for.

They have a loud voice and could really be speaking up more to make a difference.
And I do mean everybody.

Shut up worrying about what celebs are doing when half of you all aren't doing **** either. Coming in a thread to feign disbelief just to seem high and mighty. When they actually speak up y'all claim they're only doing it for attention and when they're silent you claim they don't care, it would hurt their brand, etc. Y'all never want to acknowledge what someone is doing but make EXTRA time to acknowledge what you think they're not doing.
How many of y'all are joining rallies, donating money or time? And half of y'all only care about white gay rights anyway. The nerve.
I know that, was basically saying to not even waste time trying to start an argument with him case he's so biased.
Ok, you want me to be stupid, I'll be stupid. I wish we would of won the Mexican-American war so we wouldn't have to deal with these hot-headed, racist white cops bossing us around in our own land.
Not only did she live there, but most of the people from the party lived there.
Her mom was there, yet the police officer failed to talk to the parent to solve the issue.
TWO white women attacked her, which was captured on video, but none of the white people who attacked her were arrested or questioned.
I LOVE when all of this is captured on video. The police officer needs to be fired and arrested.
I was wondering where the adults were and why we didn't see any interaction between those cops and the adults. That would have kept confusion down.
Bottom line, he abused his powers and acted like an animal in the wild. They should have his badge, period. You do not need a person like that representing your force. Something needs to change.
