And this nonsense about the cops acting like punks is just silly. Some punks organized a crash of a community event in a private community, they had their excuse ready to go. They were destructive little assholes and the police were called.

Of course noone cares about a criminal acting like a loud mouthed, cursing jerk... Thats what a criminal is expected to do.... What you dont expect... Is a cop to do it. So why would someone judge the criminal over the cop? You are saying its ok for cops to act like douchey jerks because noone chastizes criminals? That is realllly your argument?? "You let criminals do it so cops should be able to do it to" 0.0

Police cursing and using profanity doesnt bother me much (maybe if I had little kids around). But im explaining how his stance is retarded. "You are ok with criminals cursing so you should be ok with cops cursing". Really retarded argument. Of course no one gets offended when a scallywag curses. Its expected of them. But when a cop acts like a scallywag......

The way he was talking to the kids, and the language he was using toward the kids was inappropriate. Cops should be professional when working, and noone should talk to kids who aren't really doing anything wrong that way.

Nonsense.

First, its not like those kids were being assaulted by words theyve never heard before.

The Music being played by the DJ at that party was filled with expletives.

Second, it was his job to control a already out of control situation.

Kids were refusing his commands and even jumping towards him.

I wonder what any of the people who criticize this officers actions would have done of it was THEIR JOB to replace anarchy with order.

How would they or you have gone about it ?

Saying " please " ? Asking nicely ? Those kids would have treated you like dirt while you continued to lose control of the situation.

You're claiming that I'm trivializing the cop's behavior. Fine. You're certainly entitled to your opinion but I have yet to see you criticize the behavior of the kids or acknowledge that it was their actions that necessitated the police response. This isn't a one sided issue and until all those "victims" out there start acknowledging that they are part of the problem it will never be fixed.

I can't tell by the video what the kids are doing wrong, but based on eye witness testimony, calling the police in seemed certainly prudent and a necessary response. The point again Lutherf, is that you and I have already agreed that the response they got was excessive. Of course we want the kids prosecuted for any laws that they broke, none of which are apparent in the video, but there you go, I'm calling out the kids. Now do like CC and call for the cops reprimand and we can all go forward.

That said, this cop's behavior was still uncalled for.

Wow!!

According to her, she approached the police to tell them what happened, and the cops arrested her because she was "involved" (as a witness)

Great way to make witnesses more willing to cooperate with police!!!
