Ben Crump is representing the black kid I hope he gets him a huge huge fucking settlement.
Black teen being pinned down and arrested while white teen sits on couch sparks investigation
- Thread starter Tony Stark
- Start date
My position on police has been very clear for years. We need police to have integrity and we need police to be held to high standards (with a thin blue line not hiding misdeeds). Officers need to be held accountable for inappropriate actions. Also we need to stop allowing police officers fired by one department for misdeeds to be hired by others - permanently strip their law enforcement certifications.
The reality is that having more-skilled professional police will require for more police funding, not less police funding. We need funding so police departments are are adequately staffed -- since you can't train police officers if they are always working overtime to cover staffing shortages. Likewise they need dedicated time for refresher training. We also need officers to have higher pay and regular pay raises -- in order to keep skilled officers on the job.
However -- my position on law & order has also always been very clear. Cities should not put up with "protestors" (of any political group) blocking traffic, causing damage and harming the lives of residents. After several warnings - police should use force with mass arrests to stop this type of criminal activity -- and lengthy prison sentences should be applied. We need to eliminate this nonsense of police retreating and disengaging -- to allow criminals to turn cities into cesspools where people can't live & businesses not open.
This is not a situation where cops knelled on someones neck or beat an individual up. Their actions do not rise to the point of needing to fire someone or for a huge financial payout IMO.
The entire situation needs to be investigated, a summary disclosed, and the officers disciplined (with suspension with no pay) if appropriate. The primary thing is that the officers will need additional training on how to handle this type of situation -- assuming the explanation we are seeing in the media associated with the video is correct.
But this all gets into the question if the officers treated the black teen different due to the color of his skin? Did the black teen have additional history at the mall? Etc., etc. If this is correct (they treated the black teen differently) then disciplinary action needs to be taken against the officers with more training to prevent this situation in the future.
Without a firing or huge payout... nothing changes..you think the cops got racist in a moment and was not based on anything else?
When the city has to pay this kids family $2 million out of taxperys funds, then maybe the idiots at the top might stop and think about fixing the system. Until then fuck all of them because it is 2022 and STILL HAPPENING. So nothing has changed. We punish people who repeatedly make the same mistakes right?
As to your other questions about the black teen you might be showing some naivate... the cops responded to a fight and came upon a scene and reacted....they dont get a call that says Luke and Josh are fighting and Josh is the kid who always starts trouble here so please tackle him...
no it was "FIGHT in the Mall!" and cops responded as they tend to do.....

Bridgewater is a almost all white affluent suburb. The style of policing there is different from what you'll find in inner suburbs. Very few incidents involving blacks.
Let me just say this, this type of thing happens everyday from police arrests to job applicants, from sentences in courts of law to interest rates.
This is what it’s all about. If we could just get some fairness for this type of stuff a lot of the problems that cause tension in this country would just disappear.
People aren’t stupid. They know when they are mistreated and when they get a bad deal. We should listen and learn and change.

Kids get into a fight as kids do... cops rush in and shove away White kid who was on top and pounce on the Black kid and then handcuff him... nothing in the video indicates why one kid should have been tackled and handcuffed while the other just told to sit on the couch and allowed to stand up and approach the two cops...
Video evidence speaks for itself...this is not a Smollet case...
But I will wait for the white media to tell us the Black kid got in trouble 4 weeks before for something at school or hsi family has a criminal in it or he started a fight in a past life and therefore deserved to be thrown down and handcuffed....
always making excuses for racists...
Or it could be like the case in the Raleigh mall about a year ago -- where the cops handcuffed several black teenagers and their families expressed their "outrage". It turns out later that the teenagers had a long history of incidents at the mall and were previously banned from the property. And suddenly the "narrative" and "outrage" went cold.
We will see how things turn out here. I am expecting that the officers need to be disciplined for their unequal treatment of the two teens.
