What IS this? Why are people like this?? How do we make this kind of petty tyranny unacceptable to ourselves, by ourselves, and by others?
Hmmm… I used to imagine I had a video camera. I was a mini revolutionary as a kid. I told our parents that they weren’t supposed to hit kids. I was a freedom fighter living in tyranny! This video reminds me of just how badly kids can be treated. No one talks to me that way anymore and I’d forgotten how bad it is. I’m glad this kid has a mom he knows will stick up for him. The behavior of this adult should be totally unacceptable. Who do you call when it is the police acting like this?I’m so glad someone was video taping this.Video found at Pick Me!

Wow. And this is broad daylight with witnesses and pedestrians walking by. My brothers used to endure this kind of crap on a regular basis. One of my brothers and two of his friends were harassed by cops at a county fair and hauled into a security trailers for hours and berated - all because they were sitting on a walkway ledge. Those guys never even bothered calling the parents.
This guy should be fired - but he won’t. It’s not against the law to be an asshole cop. If this guy has any kids, I wonder how THEY’RE doing. His line on “you need to learn some respect” made me want to puke.
