Cop throws guy to the ground, in the street

Yeah it wasn't exactly the smartest move but the cops could have been much more civil and there was no need to put their hands on him at all.

I'm beginning to believe that entry level cops jobs should require more than a high school diploma.

Well at least we both agree that cops think they are the Roman guards, fit to cast peasants to the ground when the guards get all ego-emotional.

no....we agree the guy was playing the court jester, acting the fool

you are the one with his panties in a nit over him having his ego bruised

me....i think it was a great life lesson

Dude got off easy, several of those times he was dancing he could have justifiably have been clocked.


Cops were just Karma in this case. He'll live.

It is pretty simple. If the cops did that because the man was legally open carrying, the conservatives would have a stroke, but since he was just dancing while black, it is okie dokie.

wouldnt matter if the dude were white, black, red, or yellow

he was a fool, and he tried showing up guys with a badge

really brilliant on his part!

especially considering the last few months

you do that to a lot of people, and you will get the same results

go ahead......try it

Would it be legal for you to toss a guy (who hasn't touched you) on to the street for dancing behind you? If not, then a cop certainly shouldn't be doing it. They are supposed to be enforcing the law, not committing felonies.

You give cops a pass on this stuff at your peril.

If you perceive the person behind you was attacking you, in which several cases, it could be confused as in that video, yes, it would be legal.


Cops pushed him, get over it.


There is a real issue of over enforcement, police militarization and other law enforcment issues that need to be addressed, getting upset over this sort of kookery hurts this cause, not helps it.

So if I purposely push an old lady and she "happens to trip" am I responsible?
Click to expand...

Give me a break. That was the worst dive since the World Cup. Most old ladies wouldn't go down after a push that weak anyway.

But yeah, if old ladies declare war on Libertarians, threaten you on social media, attack you and shoot at you, and if an old lady executes a couple Libertarians in cold blood (and threaten to do it again), and if an old lady comes up behind you and starts acting all crazy, and you (feeling threatened to begin with) push her away and she falls down, then yes...You are still responsible.

If all that happens (Grandma Hillary is a possibility in two years, and she is no friend of Libertarians, just saying) I will be the first person to defend you.

Promise.

We also don't know what the moron said to the cops, not that it matters, but if it was along the lines of impregnating someone's wife, then the moron got off cheap. We might be better off, as a society, if fools playing the fool got a lesson in respect (and maybe a little instant punishment) from time to time.
 
I was just about to say that, dude took a dive, he was shuffled out of there and reacted as if he got hit by a tank.
 
When was this filmed? Because about a week ago some random douchebag crept up on two cops and killed them. And this ****ing moron honest to gawd believes it is funny and a good idea to sneak up on cops and act like a douchebag?

Frankly...he's lucky he just got sent on his way.

Dancing around where there might be police might be dangerous.

Yes, coming up behind a police officer waving your arms around wildly behind his head might be dangerous.

Exactly. For the purpose of videotaping "pranking" the police, the guy was came up behind a police officer while waving his arms wildly behind the officer's head. He should be glad the officer didn't turn around and immediately "throw" him to the ground, like he falsely claims in titling his video.
The officer was quite reserved in that regards. Nor was the guy ticketed for being in the street.

Should the officer had done a get-the-hell-away-from-us shove? Probably not. A big deal? No. This is NOT what most people mean by "police abuse." The lesson? Don't sneak up behind police to make a video of pranking them.

Why do you think that would make any difference?

Education, and more training, definitely. Unless you think it's okay for a police force to be ignorant and stupid.

It shows the blatant disregard that cops feel entitled to. It was that cops form of personal punishment. The prankster showed disregard for the cop, in a light hearted prank way. The cop showed disregard to society by flinging the man to the ground as he was letting him go. Cops should act above fools and this cop and his pack acted below. Its not a cops job to pay out karma.

He wasn't threatened. He pushed the guy as he "let him off the hook". So your paragraph is one big blah blah blah. Assault. If the old lady was dancing behind me and I asked what the **** she was doing... Then determined that she was dancing a fool behind me. It would be illegal for me to shove her, causing her to fall.

The guy obvioiusly wasn't expecting the push. Doesn't look like a dive at all to me. I wouldn't expect a cop to shove me like that as I was leaving. When you aren't expecting something a tiny bit of force can make you stumble to the ground.

As athletic and talanted as he, I don't think he lost his balance, it was a total dive, watch the push again, that wouldn't make anyone trip.

I strongly recommend you not act like a douchebag behind total strangers. If you DO act like a total douchebag behind strangers, exepct some people to be a little less delicate in their response to you. Especially if those total strangers were...say...in a family where some OTHER douchebag had just killed two of their family members by creeping up on them.

People ought to use their ****ing head for more than a convenient place to keep a hat. The dancing douchebag may have learned a valuable lesson. I somehow doubt it.

Ya F all that... If I shove a cop and he falls or stumbles im going to jail. If a cop shoves a "normie" it is allowed because cops have a "very very important job".... Its complete bull****. And this micro-event adds to the macro even if you find it trivial.

Ya bull****. I have made people fall with a simple straight hand palm push when they aren't expecting me to push a certain part of their body. Who the hell would expect a cop to shove them like that?? No one should expect that. You are saying he had the clarity of mind to instantly fall to the ground with zero reaction time as he was unexpectedly shoved? Maybe an angel came down and froze time in the time between the shove and his fall and told him to fall to expose the crass sociopath tendencies of these cops.

Do you have the capacity to see how the macro just may have fed the micro?
