Baltimore cops seem like a friendly bunch

At least he was suspended, rightfully so.

You're right, it's not about the kids. It's about the media sensationalizing something and folks jumping on the bandwagon.

Keep on making it harder for cops to do their jobs and we'll see how that works out in the end.

Um, that would be Baltimore in a nutshell.

Oh, I see, so now it's the media and the public who are imagining things that aren't there - the camera's fibbing to us ......

Perhaps you're right though, if the media and the public would just simply turn away, the cops could do whatever the fuck they want - a police state, now that would be progress, eh?

So now it's the cops job to berate kids that don't listen to him instantly? Or was it his job to start screaming at the kid b/c his parents aren't raising him to have the values the cop would prefer? Or perhaps its the cops job just to be able to scream when he feels like it?

The kids behaved like kids. What's the cop's excuse?

[dan]

The cop acted like a cop.

If you are out looking for trouble and disobeying a lawful order, yes absolutely.

So cops aren't allowed to yell at or reprimand people? I guess they should just dole out licorice and bubble-gum?

I don't know. Maybe the way that cop reacted to the kids is how all Northeasterners react to everyone in every situation? Maybe he was being calm and collected.

[dredmo]

If cops are not allowed to act as well as yell, then we might as well not have cops.

I guess we have to accept the fact that certain people will see this video and not see a cop acting inappropriately and out of act rage. I don't understand it, but that's life.

It's the same sort of thing that happens when witnesses are interviewed after a car accident - several different recollections are often presented
