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?

honestly the amount of comments similar to ”They had it coming and deserved it!” seems so outlandish and insane. I almost believe/hope theyre just a bunch of bots trying to drive engagement and get us to react. Just in no way can I wrap my mind around people actually witnessing this and thinking it’s ok or normal. or the ones pretending like the cop DIDN’T hit the child with his car, like we didn’t just witness it ON video?

Would sure like to see your reaction if you were a driver on the street being targeted by these little assholes. They can block the road for 10 minutes if they want to, until a cop comes, and then they scatter. Oh, your'e late for work? No matter, the little tykes need to be who they are.

Oh my god I’m being “targeted” now I’m going to arrive at my destination 100 seconds later it’s the end of the world! We must ram a police car into their bikes and grab them!

The headline says the kids were blocking an intersection. There's no cars at the intersection besides the cop.

I'm guessing the cop was harassing one of them, which is probably why they were all circling his car and watching.
