This could be worth reporting on.the only downside is how common cops act like this. Cop loses it at man asking him to do his job and help his kidnapped son

I hope the father takes the police department to court - there are different legal standards in a civil suit than with police policing themselves.

[OP] AngelHasAShotgun | a day ago

His child is still missing. That's just...unfathomable. Gotta say, if this was me? I am burning shit down until someone listens.

Missing with the child’s mother, there seems to be a bit more to the story than this short clip shows.

zsal830 | 10 hours ago

statistically in the US, most cases of kidnapping are perpetrated by the non-custodial parent

GravelRoadJunkie | 6 hours ago

Cool, that doesn’t answer the question.

Van-garde | 4 hours ago

Does your support of the officer’s actions depend on this information?

GravelRoadJunkie | 4 hours ago

Nope but it does change the narrative of the father’s actions.

JungleIsNeutral | 19 hours ago

Who does not have custody. It is a kidnapping.

GravelRoadJunkie | 18 hours ago

Haven’t seen anything that says that, again full context would be better here than just a short video.

JungleIsNeutral | 18 hours ago

Spoonfed.

GravelRoadJunkie | 18 hours ago

No, I just demand proof of other people’s assertions, I’m not here to do your homework.

JungleIsNeutral | 17 hours ago

I am not here to do your homework.

Right.

GravelRoadJunkie | 17 hours ago

I’m not, you make an assertion, it’s on you to prove it. If you state that the mother did not have custody, it’s on you to prove it, again not here to do your homework.

Policing in the US is fucked beyond any possible reason. I’m not American and this shit pisses me off, I have no idea how you put up with this.

TarkuRav | 8 hours ago

Our only gun laws were passed when armed black Americans stood up for their rights. I feel so ashamed to be from this country.

Your country invented fascism. Then you elected the fascists grand-daughter. I would sit the fuck down if I were you.

BrutalSock | 5 hours ago

My country also hanged that motherfucker upside down.

You country invented KKK, it’s the only country to ever use nukes in the history of mankind, has overthrown more democratically elected governments than you can count to install fascist dictators… I could go on. I have an infinite list of shit if you want…

But the most important thing is that this is the stupidest argument ever.

None of this has anything to do with the topic at hand and none of us is certainly responsible for stuff that happened when we weren’t even born.

Speaking of the nukes, the alternative would have killed far more Japanese people. Operation Downfall.

yeah keep telling yourself that. and no, i don't need your usa'ian sources proving your point

Whats the story with the kid ?

WistfulDread | 21 hours ago

Still missing, apparently.

Massive_Series8305 | 21 hours ago

Yeah but like how

BaronVonHugendon | 15 hours ago

Ah well you see, the mechanism by which he is missing is that he isn't there.

Massive_Series8305 | 13 hours ago

Yeah but what did he do, did the kid like burrow a tunnel under last Vegas to put teslas in, what happened

BaronVonHugendon | 13 hours ago

I just kinda assumed he simply faded out of existence like that guy doing the peace sign

Call the Sheriffs Department, they love embarrassing town cops

BreadfruitBig7950 | 13 hours ago

Okay, in what world is it this officers personal responsbility to handle it?

TarkuRav | 8 hours ago

How does this make sense to you?? Its not their responsibility to find the kid but its also against the law for you to go looking. What if you ended up missing? Do you want to just be forgotten about?

BreadfruitBig7950 | 8 hours ago

I don't expect this guy to bust me out of Epstein honestly.

Do you?

TarkuRav | 8 hours ago

Whats your point?? That cops are bad? My guy, duh! You should WANT them to KEEP YOU SAFE. They are protectors of the community.

BreadfruitBig7950 | 8 hours ago

Sure, and once this kidnapping victim is trafficked long enough they're not a part of the community anymore.

I'm repeating the legal arguments upheld in jurisprudence altering this from failure of duty to self defense against unreasonable demands.

Police aren't magical. You shouldn't use them as a security argument any more than expecting them to do every little thing.

Plus what if this isn't kidnapping; they just skipped out on rent and the police are being used to serve them papers now. The community's taken advantage of the police to conduct itself as a hostile agent against the community itself. That's wrong.

TarkuRav | 8 hours ago

What kind of fucked up sinister bullshit old pedophile white man argument is that?? A kid does not lose their familial relations because they were fucking KIDNAPPED.. that is kidnapper talk HELLO?

BreadfruitBig7950 | 8 hours ago

I actually did lose all of mine due to being kidnapped, trafficked, and basically torn to shreds and eaten for fun.

I'm telling you why the law isn't going to help. Maybe you wanna sit down and accept the facts about stuff?

TarkuRav | 8 hours ago

Your a blockhead. My entire life has been the government making a concerted effort to make my life worse, its nothing new, doesn't mean its normal or okay.

Chebbzthehpal | a day ago

Why don’t people learn not to fck with cops.

alcaron | a day ago

I didn’t realize putting your hands up was fucking with the cops. Maybe they should start wearing skirts if they want to act like little bitches.

Chebbzthehpal | a day ago

An agitator the whole time. First with the papers then Why walk up to the car, then not back up when the cop tells you to? Completely avoidable

ForAfeeNotforfree | a day ago

“Agitator”? He did 0 to deserve that. Totally unjustified use of force. Cop had no reasonable reason to fear for his own safety, wasnt being attacked, wasn’t about to be attacked, wasn’t being prevented from leaving or going about his day.

Majestic_Balance1887 | a day ago

We agree it's unjustified use of force.

That doesn't protect you until after the cop arrests you.

You can scream about how it isn't right or fair, but he's still arrested. If he had taken the video he already had and spread it he could have done as much damage to the cop's reputation. Ignoring a call is pretty serious.

All he had to do was step back from the car. What did he really gain by geting the shit kicked out of him? Maybe he got a stronger case, but it's entirely possible the union is gonna argue he antagonized him by refusing to follow his commands. So it's up in the air.

alcaron | a day ago

This is some of the most boot licking dipshit logic I’ve seen in a while.

Majestic_Balance1887 | a day ago

It's called playing it smart.

But I guess you're not capable of that.

pinegreenscent | a day ago

Youre right. Better to cower. That'll change things.

Majestic_Balance1887 | a day ago

Nobody said cower. You got the guy refusing to help on camera.

But by all means, get yourself thrown in prison because you cant reign in your emotions. That'll deffo help lol

thatloser17 | 21 hours ago

Cant reign in emotions? Like the cop? Why do you accept a world where people have to walk on eggshells so public servants dont execute them? Take the boot out of your throat.

Majestic_Balance1887 | 21 hours ago

>Why do you accept a world where people have to walk on eggshells so public servants dont execute them?

I don't, I quit when I'm ahed, have video evidence and publish it later.

alcaron | a day ago

Can you roll over for me so I can check your price tag? I’ve been looking to replace my doormat and you will do nicely.

Chebbzthehpal | a day ago

Exactly let him drive away….🚗

[OP] AngelHasAShotgun | a day ago

HE DID STWP BACK

Majestic_Balance1887 | a day ago

No? He very clearly didn't after being told four times to do so. He stood there.

[OP] AngelHasAShotgun | a day ago

He absolutely did. The cop decided it wasn't good enough without giving any time to comply. Stop apologizing for this kind of brutal cruelty.

His child had still never been found.

Majestic_Balance1887 | a day ago

No. He didn't. He straight up refused, raised his hands above his head and got taken down.

What do you gain by clearly lying? Do you not see the damage you're doing to your own cause?

Chebbzthehpal | a day ago

See it how you see it I guess I just respect law enforcement and don’t antagonize them.

Electronic-Bison6549 | a day ago

Why don't you respect cops enough to expect them to be able to control their emotions?

Chebbzthehpal | a day ago

I do for sure. Did he explode sure. Was he antagonized? yes the whole video. The whole situation was avoidable is my point.

Electronic-Bison6549 | a day ago

We agree, the cop could have been an adult who can control his ego and his emotional outburst instead of being a petulant little bitch.

Past_Chart_2718 | a day ago

An armed and industry protected petulant little bitch*

ForAfeeNotforfree | a day ago

I have total respect for law enforcement, and don’t appreciate the implication that I don’t. But there’s a difference between respecting them and being a pushover. Citizens have rights and the cops must respect those rights, and there should be severe consequences when/if cops violate citizens’ rights and/or department policy.

[OP] AngelHasAShotgun | a day ago

Cops have a different definition of respect. And that's the issue. They have done many, many things that make that trust a facade at best.

Edit for fat thumb spelling

Past_Chart_2718 | a day ago

Acab means all cops

Chebbzthehpal | a day ago

I didn’t see the cop violate the citizens rights I saw a brat who antagonized a cop and got punched in the face for it. That’s life hopefully a lesson learned.

borantho | a day ago

Bro cops are supposed to serve the public or did you forget that. This was clearly a situation where there was no threat to the cop and he chose to escalate into what will soon become a lawsuit. Good riddance to this idiot and get all cops like this off the force.

Unfortunately public sector falls victim to adverse selection so we don’t get the best or the brightest in uniform.

ForAfeeNotforfree | a day ago

A wrongful arrest is, by definition, a violation of a person’s 4th Amendment rights. If there was no probable cause and there was no warrant, the arrest is wrongful.

alcaron | a day ago

Man your entire attitude screams “this is who they are live-streaming the execution for”.

[OP] AngelHasAShotgun | a day ago

Well, clearly you are a mediocre man (Im guessing white?) Who has never had reason for any other feelings towards cops.

This man's child has not been found, almost a year later. Now tell me why this asshole cop deserves respect. It could very well be his inaction that led to this child's death, which is way more likely than not.

How would you feel?

Chebbzthehpal | a day ago

This doesn’t change my position completely avoidable. Too bad hope they find him.

Past_Chart_2718 | a day ago

Never let facts or morals stand in the way of your boot buffet, magat

hermitix | 19 hours ago

This is absolutely a clear reason why law enforcement doesn't deserve respect. Caution, fear, sure. Zero respect for violent asshole bullies.
