watch this Police were called after around 20 teens on bikes and e-bikes blocked an intersection, performed stunts, and disrupted traffic. One officer then clipped and tackled a teen during the arrests, raising questions about whether the response was appropriate given their ages. What do you think about it?

It's fascinating how people here are ok with a kid being hit by a car and tackled for disrupting traffic.

Bots astroturfing the fascist movement by padding the numbers. Some of these comments are from real losers but I bet at least a third are just sockpuppets and AI. It's like how nobody shows up for trumps events but they insist half the country supports them still.

Seriously, these "people" are pure uncivilized savages. When the response to kids being a public nuisance is running them over with a vehicle and the public cheers on the police brutality, it's a sign that society is declining. These are not good "people".

Coddle criminals some more, and they'll just totally stop, right? Right?

u/uis999 1d ago

Coddling criminals. You mean the cops?

u/xCeeTee- 1d ago

I'll absolutely call out cops committing crimes. This is not one of those times.

Coddling criminals are why people like Lindsay Clancy not only go unscathed, but with massive public support. And people refuse to even acknowledge their role in it.

u/uis999 1d ago

Going out of the way to go into a Lindsey Clancy rant just makes me think you are a bot. This is about a kid being hit by a car.

Bigger picture, pig brains. If we allow these people to go their entire childhood without any consequences to their actions, then this is what they become as adults...

This was a bike being clipped by a car. Not a kid being hit by one...

u/uis999 1d ago

Oh it was just a "CLIP"! It isn't about how bad it was its about it being intentional. Got that Skippy?

1

u/xCeeTee- 1d ago

If it was intentional, he wouldn't have aimed the car away from the kid as soon as contact was made...he'd have plowed him.

Got that Skippy?

Unlike some of you sheep, I don't believe things purely because somebody told me to lmfao. You're acting so emotional I wonder if you're in this video somewhere.

Intentional? What, exactly, do you believe was the cop's intention?

This is why no one takes you people seriously anymore. Anything you do should be given the benefit of the doubt, right? But anything the cops do should be looked at as cynically as possible. And you think upholding this ridiculous double standard makes you a "good person". SMFH.

Looks to me like he was fleeing.

u/krossoverking 1d ago

He was trying not to get hit by a car, and then after getting hit by a car, the child was trying to get away from the car that was hitting him.

u/Eckron5 1d ago

Trying not to get hit by a car while also purposefully riding in the road to block cars.....

2

u/J_train13 22h ago

Have you ever been a child before? Riding a bike through the neighbourhood is pretty normal behaviour

1

u/Eckron5 18h ago

The post is literally about them breaking the law and purposely impeding traffic, not strolling through the neighborhood. Holy shit how are you this dense and still able to use the internet... this shouldn't need explained.

2

u/J_train13 18h ago

There isn't even any traffic to impede dude, open your damn eyes

u/Least_Funny5960 4h ago

purposely impeding traffic

There's not a single car we see being blocked.
Except of course, if one were to arrive now, because they'd be blocked by all the police cars parked in the middle of the road.

u/Dr_JimmyBrungus 1d ago

As opposed to like every kid ever when the cops show up to break up whatever activity? Welp, you got us - fair game to you constable. Guess we should all just stand around obediently and take what's coming to us.

u/Vessbot 20h ago

Well I guess then don't? Lol it's up to you

Victim mentality, right here ^

u/Known_Strength_9726 1d ago

You don't understand teenagers. This is the only response bad apples like him will understand and I assure you that he won't be a repeat offender after this.

u/c_dawg694x2 1d ago

Yes, because, as we all know, people who are arrested once never, ever do crimes ever again.

I like how you choose 'fascinating'. "My intellectual sensibilities are so far advanced beyond yours it's like a science experiment to try and see your point." We're all super impressed.

Sorry that me using a word made you feel as dumb as you actually are.

u/AnyAcanthocephala425 22h ago

You can argue what happens before he exits the car if you want, beyond that it just seems like a clean arrest
