White cop tackles black mom after she called police for help[W:295]

This cop is an ass if everything in the article is correct. I noticed they didn't identify the officer and he looks like a minority to me.
There are a lot of Hispanic cops in Texas.

He's not the first Hispanic person to have a kerfuffle with a Black person.

I watched the same video as everyone else posting here and my take is a little different

In the first place why were the police called to begin with?

This reminds me of black women who call 911 because they didn't get as much shrimp in their fried rice as they expected

There are exceptions but every white person I know would have handled the incident neighbor to neighbor

But the cops were called and the black woman ends up getting arrested because she lost her composure and along with her daughter became physically confrontational with the cop

Again, most white people would have handled the situation differently and without getting arrested

It's soo hateful, when the White man steals the shrimp.

Good idea! Maybe you could do a thread on that topic.

And we all know when it's time to whip out the race card Hispanics become white to the liberal lying media .

Got to love the stereotyping in several of your posts - "They" get excited.... "Whites" would have handled it better...

Forgetting the racial stereotypes, this cop clearly did NOT have to arrest that woman and two others. She's entitled to speak her mind without some asshole cop arresting her because he doesn't like her attitude. She didn't hit him, threaten him. And it's his f'ing JOB to defuse that situation, not escalate it into 3 total BS arrests for "resisting arrest." Can't believe you're defending this guy. That kind of behavior is what fuels distrust of the cops by blacks and everyone else they come into contact with.

She has every right to call the cops if she felt like her 7 year old was assaulted. Maybe it could have been handled neighbor to neighbor, but you don't know what happened between them after he grabbed her son and called the cops or before that. Could be there is a history. You don't know and I don't. Regardless, her complaint wasn't frivolous and his job was simple - take the complaint, defuse the situation, arrest the guy if warranted, and if not send everyone on their way. Instead he has to essentially defend the alleged assault as reasonable, and of course the woman got mad. What the hell would anyone expect.

I think "laid a hand on" is closer to what happpened than "tried to choke."

Public school teachers have been sued or fired for touching a disrespectful minority child so legally if the neighbor even touched the child he will probably lose in a legal proceeding

And maybe the FWPD will agree that the policeman was not as sensitive and sympathetic to rhe woman as he could be.

But what is it with black people that so many minor incidents involving them end up with fisticufs, arrest or homicide?

If I think a cop on the street has acted improperly I'm not going to totally lose my self control and begin cursing him - which is a crime

or fighting with him - which is just plain stupid to the extream

Cursing a cop is a crime? Why wasn't she charged with this "crime"?

Why did the girl jump between the cop and the woman and try to hold the woman back?

She was trying to keep mom from jumping on the cop

No, the cop says, "If you keep yelling at me you're going to piss me off I'm going to take you to jail." THAT is why she stepped in, because the cop threatened to jail her for "pissing him off" which last I looked isn't a crime.

The girl was trying to defuse it, calm the woman down - which is the cop's job. Instead of letting her, cop shoves the girl aside and that's when the crap hits the fan.

I agree with you on the fact the identity politics from the left is annoying and causes more problems than fixing them. I just get sick of seeing conservatives falling into the same tactics. You lose any claim of outrage over it when you resort to the same tactics.

As far as this incident I never claimed his actions were racially inspired. I don't know him or pretend to know what is in his head. However, from the video it is clear that the officer was a dick. I stand by my statement that she had every right in that situation to be furious. First, the neighbor should have never put his hands on someone else's child. She did the right thing by calling the cops rather than attempting to settle things herself. She was the victim in this altercation so when the cop had the nerve to question her parenting skills and then to ask why it was not ok to for the neighbor to grab her son it is my opinion she was much more controlled than what I (and most people I know) would have been.

Unless something more comes out later, from the video and information that we currently have I just don't see how anyone can watch that video and defend his actions.

I have nor defended the cop

Pending new evidence such as a body cam video and assuming the familys video was not editeded I have to agree that the police officer was not tactful.

But I am criticizing the black woman for the way she acted and behaved also

I dont want to repeat myself so just go back and read my previous comment for more detail on why I assign blame to the woman for getting arrested

Not at all

Maybe you are just not smart enough to appreciate good logic when you see it

Neighbors usually dont choke other neighbors children

Do you think she or the child might be embellishing just a wee bit?

Oh, so you think the lady and her daughter embellished the incident because their black? That is what you seem to be insinuated in two posts so far. It's not really the cop's fault because the women are, you know, black? :roll:

Define mishandled

If someone is attacking my child there would not be time to call 911 and I would take direct action

But that is not the case here

If the black woman really thinks her white neighbor tried to choke her son then she should call 911

But I am inclined to think it was less than that

Its too bad all black people including children dont wear a body cam when they encounter white people

That would be very helpful here

Thank the liberal race baiters who decided to make this story an anti whire issue starting with the headline

Her son was assaulted and it was her responsibility to document that with a police record for the neighbor.-

Where do you get the crap that white people would work it out between themselves?

Do you mean a white person would go over there and beat the **** out of the guy for grabbing their child?
 
Mac77 said:
Again

How would a white person handle a smart alec white cop?

Most white people would do what I wrote in a previous post and go over the cops head to his supervisor instead of battling it out on the street
Click to expand...

Most white people aren't black, don't have a black experience, haven't experienced institutional racism, aren't from a race that is often harassed and abused by law enforcement. I would venture to say that black people have reason to suspect that calling a supervisor to complain would result in nada. It's quiet possible that they might expect never to be connected to a direct supervisor.

But you want to hold black people to white experience and expectations. :roll:
 
Mac77 said:
That is highly unlikely

Fort Worth is a big city

It might be. But still an unusual occurrence. I would think most would key in on touching someone else's child. I certainly would. A person would be lucky if I *just* called the cops.

i agree.

The daughter knew her mother was about to step in it - outstanding warrents and all - but she was too late
 
Lets take race out of it.

White cop arrests white woman after she gets hostile with cop over his attitude. Does anyone care now?

The cop was not professional. The woman did not remain calm. File a complaint, sue the city. No reason for this to become 'breaking news'

If you called the police for, let's say, a break in at your house and you happened to have left the front door unlocked. Would you be upset if the officer you called asked you why you left the door unlocked, implying it was your fault the house was burglarized?

This officer justified the grabbing of her son by the neighbor for littering. Would that sit right with you if that happened to you child?

ok I will give her that much

Except that I dont think or at least I highly doubt that the white neighbor tried to choke the child as claimed

But if documenting the incident for future reference was her intent she should not have lost her composure after the cop arrived

Resisting the police and complaining about it all the time is just making it worse. Black people need to run for office, vote for black people, join the police force, and stop committing crimes.

I doubt the choking happened either. Was there anything in the article about that?

If the cop came to your house and basically approved of the neighbors actions in grabbing your child, would you get upset with him, or would you accept his wrong headed assessment of the situation?

You already said you would go after the neighbor without calling the police, so how would you react when the officer blames your parenting skills and your child for the incident?
