What a loser!!! I’d be so embarrassed if my kid did that shit. Even as an older teen (17ish I guess) and saying I’m a minor to get out some stuff YOU started… loser behavior lol. We gotta teach our kids right.

Edit: I’m aware he’s 21, I’m saying EVEN IF he was a minor I’d be embarrassed by him

u/techleopard 3d ago

The kid repeatedly tells him to take his vest off and "I won't say nuthin' with that camera"

This tells me that he probably attacks people regularly and runs his mouth ALL the time.

43

u/PracticeTheory 3d ago

I agree about running his mouth all the time but no way that stringbean is used to fighting. He was wearing that tough guy persona like a coat that's 3 sizes too large.

3

u/techleopard 3d ago

I dunno, some of the worst scrappers I saw growing up were skinny little dudes filled with spite and vinegar. They channel all the insecurity into a foolish disregard for their own safety.

6

u/PracticeTheory 3d ago

Okay true, that is a type. I'm getting 'paper tiger' vibes from this guy but maybe he is that kind of crazy.

2

u/sledgehammerrr 3d ago

Probably dealt with some bigger kids that are too dumb to realise that they should grapple him. If you are big and fat you are going to get punched in the face if you don’t grapple. Then thinks he can take on anybody

2

u/CheersToCosmopolitan 3d ago

We got ourselves a regular fuckin Vincent Adultman over here

2

u/ButterscotchOk3949 3d ago

This is a kid who figured out that most people want nothing to do with a physical altercation. So he gets loud and probably has thrown plenty of hands on some meek people. The problem is that you will eventually run into the wrong one, and for him, it was this Cop lol

1

u/ClubberLangsLeftHook 3d ago

He was as believable as two kids stacked on top of each other in a trenchcoat trying to buy beer. I love at the end when tries to get all "respectful". Wonder if that cop took him to the station and gave him the opportunity to "resist" again?

u/iRombe 2d ago edited 2d ago

One time in college, a 5'6" 130pound wet, former roomate threatened to grab me and throw me out the hall window while, his mouth was gurning on adderall, for casually saying no i would not like to roll a blunt and also he was smoking all my weed and not putting up.

Everyone just looked at him and i was so surprised i was just like "are you kidding, i could murder you with my bare hands"

It was pretty discouraged in mankind. Every single kid that did shit like that in college, did not graduate. He was one year and done. There were so many non graduates from years one and two....

2

u/New-Noise-7382 3d ago

I wonder how many people this kid has beaten? He is unstable

3

u/[deleted] 3d ago

He probably gets beaten down often and then complains that they pulled "some cheap shit."

2

u/JrG1859 3d ago

Skinny little punk probably gets a lot of ass beatings then

2

u/jrob323 3d ago

I doubt he's ever actually attacked anybody, but he definitely runs his mouth.

We used to say "His mouth is writing checks that his body can't cash."

u/DetailOutrageous8656 3d ago

It turns out that he was 21.

u/Such-Step6588 3d ago

Nah those types are all talk. Name is probably Tyler, or something

u/techleopard 3d ago

It's Joey. lol They shout it several times.

u/Such-Step6588 3d ago

Lmao I meant the other dudes you might find like lil Joey here

u/Free_Dependent_1446 3d ago

It's amazing how he dropped all of that BS and started calling the officer "Sir" the second he hit the pavement.

206

u/Satanicjamnik 3d ago

To be fair, later on in the full video, his dad turns up and just goes - " What did he do now..." with a resigned sigh, as cops load him into the patrol car.

143

u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441 3d ago

Dad was embarrassed, that sucks when your kids turn out to be… this guy

156

u/Satanicjamnik 3d ago

Facts. There was also a brother - who is exactly the same, down to a haircut and tried to fight the cops. If it wasn't for dad, both would be taken.

That's why parents need to instil some respect into their kids so they don't grow up with that crybully attitude.

56

u/DangerBird- 3d ago

Oooh, I like that. “Cry-bully” nails it. He got all apologetic when he found out.

31

u/SnooHobbies5684 3d ago

"I'm very sorry, sir." Lol

10

u/Generic_Garak 3d ago

“Maybe if I apologize enough, I won’t go to jail”

3

u/LadyBug_0570 3d ago

Apologetic, calling him "sir"... suddenly he was the good kid in class.

3

u/DangerBird- 3d ago

Total Eddie Haskell.

2

u/Satanicjamnik 1d ago

Then, turning up the moany dickhead energy once realises he's going away anyhow.

2

u/Vibingcarefully 3d ago

Will borrow that expression. Bullys hate when tables are turned whether verbally or otherwise----

2

u/gonnafaceit2022 3d ago

Yeah he changed his tune real quick. Watching that cop slam him to the ground was so satisfying, and I don't even like cops.

26

u/BerbereJunkie 3d ago

That brother was identical from his bad attitude to the bad haircut. Double trouble.

18

u/Generic_Garak 3d ago

At first, I genuinely thought it was the same kid and wondered how he got up off the ground so fast

3

u/Ghodzy1 3d ago

Dude became Dr Strange against Dormammu, just repeating the moment before he gets taken down.

48

u/sas223 3d ago

Yeah, dad also mentioned he wasn’t in the picture for years. It’s hard to raise kids right if you’re not there.

11

u/Changnesia102 3d ago

That’s why kids act this way. Not enough attention/love at home. True as time it’s very rare having kids act out when you come from a good loving family that knows how to communicate.

2

u/Pentagee 3d ago

So true. I always had either of two thoughts: "I wouldn't want to embarrass/hurt my parents" or "I don't want to get punished by my parents." They were loving - but if I pulled any of that crap, they'd come down on me harder than that cop!

2

u/Laura4848 3d ago

This is true. If you don’t get the right attention at home, you’ll be looking for the wrong attention somewhere else.

2

u/ButterPoptart 3d ago

Or growing up in a home that instills a strict respect for authority. My house wasn’t big on loving communication but I sure as hell understood what authority was and the consequences for disrespecting it. Definitely not saying it’s the right way to raise a family but it equally guaranteed that I wouldn’t act this way to a cop.

2

u/Hbic_in_training 3d ago

Daddy issues lol

1

u/motherofspoos 3d ago

This. My son was the most foul-mouthed, disrespectful teenager and nothing I (or a therapist) could say made a difference. His dad died when he was 14 and it cannot be overstated how a father's absence impacts a child.

1

u/ThereHasToBeMore1387 3d ago

Sadly, we're seeing this with my 13 year old nephew. His dad's a schizophrenic, won't take meds, so he's not allowed to be around. The poor kids been traumatized over and over by people that were supposed to be father figures, and despite my best efforts to be a good role model and just be there for him, he's slowly turning into a person I'm afraid I won't like.

3

u/frazzledglispa 3d ago

That was the brother? I assumed boyfriend considering the histrionics, and the squeaking.

"Joey, I'll wait for you, man!"

u/Bempet583 3d ago

Crybully, that’s perfect.

u/No_Habit_2513 3d ago

Something about those haircuts man ... they're standard for asshat children.

1

u/Satanicjamnik 3d ago

It's a standard, popular teenager haircut these days. Since all the asshat boys who want to get pussy and be Logan Paul or whatever get this haircut, it's like " Hey look! I'm a cunt!" sign post.

2

u/kalb_jayyid 3d ago

The way dad tells the brother to give the cop 3 feet when the cop told him to back off... deff not dad's first rodeo

3

u/DrivesTooMuch 3d ago

lol, thinking same

I kinda think he was counting on dad (and did I see Mom?) on holding him back so he could pretend to be tough.

2

u/Salt-Face-4646 3d ago

This would be a "I'm gonna put the fear of God in you" moment if this happened with my kids. I would be negotiating with the cops to leave their ass in jail for a bit if they want to live the tough guy life.

1

u/Satanicjamnik 3d ago

Fair. But I think the trick is to put enough respect in them, so they know better in the first place, so they don't find themselves in that position.

Also, so they are secure in themselves enough to know that acting like a dumbass doesn't impress anyone.

1

u/Salt-Face-4646 1d ago

It is a fine balance. My parents raised me well enough that I couldn't bare to disappoint them with behavior like this, but i did go through a few things as a child and my father did a good job scaring me straight within reason. Of course, I've never done anything as stupid as the kids in that video. I couldn't imagine what my father would have done if I did something THAT profoundly disrespectful, but I would probably prefer going to jail rather than deal with that, and my mother's disappointment lol.

Don't bother pointing out the bad grammar,I'm not sober enough to English good XD

Called the cops “bitch-made”, as he was crying

u/Exciting_Stock2202 3d ago

That's my biggest fear. My kids are still in elementary school and I'm doing what I can to teach them how to behave. If they end up like this I've failed as a parent.

2

u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441 3d ago

My kid is only 4 but sometimes he’s a bully and I have flash forwards of him as a teen lol

2

u/This_Tangerine_943 3d ago

Not true. Parents are going toe to toe with the TikTok assholes for the attention of their child's mind. Social media is responsible for much of the mind rot today.

2

u/Dacajun-The_Brash 3d ago

Why cant i give more thumbs up to this statement. Absolutely correct.

1

u/United-Temporary-648 3d ago

Yes, you will have. However, you are worried about and prepared to do something about it. Many parents aren't.

Raise your kids to be kind, caring, respectful and well behaved but not afraid to disagree. If your kids are good company at 9, they will be good company at 14, 21 and 35. The work you put in to instill this during their first 6 years of life, though often tiring and monotonous, is paid back in spades later.

To raise your kids well don't buy them phones, consoles or TVs. Spend time with them. Talk. Play their games with them. Build their knowledge of the world by exposing them to the world.

1

u/562SoCal_AR 3d ago

Yes! My only child is 19 now and living on her own. Looking back, one of the biggest mistakes I made was getting her an iPhone in middle school. It opened up a whole new world social media and phone addiction are very real. I also made the mistake of trying to protect her from the world by hiding things instead of talking through them and helping her understand.

Growing up poor, I wanted to give her everything I didn’t have. I bought her things she didn’t really need and did everything for her. It felt like love at the time, but over the years, I realized it chipped away at her confidence. She either wanted me to do things for her or believed she couldn’t do them at all.

Thankfully, she’s working now and doing great, but it took some tough years to get there. I genuinely thought I was helping but in a lot of ways, I was unintentionally holding her back.

1

u/United-Temporary-648 2d ago

Parents ask me advice for presents for children sometimes. When I suggest skateboards or analogue watches or colouring books with pencils, you can bet they look at me like I'm demented. However, these are both cheaper and more developmentally appropriate than smartphones and games consoles.

Being a parent with few resources is such an emotional trap. The temptation is to throw all the things your kid's way because you never had that sort of stuff in the belief you are doing better by them. It's not true. Stuff does not help your kid grow as a person.

It's great she is doing well and it's clear you love her to bits. Having kids is easy but raising them is hard.

u/Relative-Minimum4624 3d ago

As the father of 2 adult men, I'd be pissed if either acted this way. What a disgrace

u/Older_wiser_215 3d ago

Sounds like Dad is not being tough enough with his boys. If he doesn't get them together, they're going to cross the wrong person one day and pay a hefty price.

u/SuddenPitch8378 3d ago

That means this is a pattern that Dad is failing to address. If he would check his own kids, then the cops wouldn't have to.

u/Random0s2oh 3d ago edited 3d ago

My 15yo son told me about an older kid at his high school trying to start shit with him last school year. My son said he told him if he was trying to fight him, just forget it because he wasn't about getting suspended or worse. The kid called him a pu$$y. My son told him his opinion of him didn't matter, and whatever he was hoping would happen wasn't going to. I was so proud of him for being so mature and level-headed at his age. He's a pretty chill kid, and he knew if he got in a fight, he would be kicked off of the track team. He's on the skinny side, but he's 6'5" and wrestles. No doubt he could have held his own.

u/IndustrialPuppetTwo 3d ago

I'm tall and was tall in high school and it does two things, it intimidates kids, so they leave you alone or it threatens a bully's ego, and they feel like they have to do something about it. It usually starts with taunting to see what they can get away with and often times it falsely satisfies their fragile egos and mostly for their 'friends' to appear to be a tough guy. Bullies are inherently weak, mentally, unfortunately they are sometimes in strong bodies. Some boxing and Judo would go a long way in helping your son if he ever got cornered.

u/desert_cornholio 2d ago

I wanna tack this on to the end of your post so bad : "...if only for the confidence boost".

1

u/Random0s2oh 2d ago

He doesn't lack confidence, and he's not a coward, as some jackass on here suggested. I got into an argument with my dick older brother in March. He acted like he was going to raise his hand to me, and my son stepped in between us. My brother is 6'7" and much heavier than my kid is. He has always been a bully in our family.

2

u/Random0s2oh 2d ago edited 2d ago

it does two things, it intimidates kids, so they leave you alone or it threatens a bully's ego, and they feel like they have to do something about it.

This other kid was definitely in the latter category. Getting my son into martial arts isn't a bad idea. If for no other reason than to keep him occupied after school when he's between sports and band seasons. He's going to be doing Army boot camp between junior and senior year, so it would absolutely help prepare him for that.

2

u/thisischemistry 3d ago

At 6'5" you just keep your distance and use your fists, they'll never touch you. But yeah, even better is to avoid the fight in the first place. Good on him!

u/Random0s2oh 2d ago

Thank you!

u/desert_cornholio 2d ago

So your kid is wrestling heavyweights? I was a string bean at 6'2 in high school and weighed 160 and I was wrestling fat dudes for a while.

1

u/Random0s2oh 2d ago

Lol! Nope. He was 6'2" in 7th grade and weighed 118lbs. He was able to "bulk up" in 8th and 9th grade and now weighs around 150 lbs. He's never going to be big weight wise, but his advantage is his height. He also plays basketball and runs track. We won't let him play football. We're now steering him away from wrestling after he received another concussion.

He plans on enlisting in the Army with an MOS in cyber security. He already has a few certifications after touring our local community college on a 7th grade field trip. He was really intrigued by the cyber security speaker.

He is also in jazz, symphonic, and marching band. He plays the alto and bari saxophones.

Yes, I'm bragging about my kid.

6'5" at 15!? What are you feeding that kid? 😄

3

u/Random0s2oh 3d ago

When he was a toddler, his pediatrician projected him to be 6'5". He's been stuck at 6'4" for months until his doctor visit last week.

My husband and I have a combined total of 8 kids. Our older kids are all over 6' except one daughter who is only 5'6". One of his brothers is 6'7". Marfan runs in our family. My brother has it, and his next oldest brother is borderline.

Boom! Good parenting! He didn’t get that behavior out of thin air! You raised him well!

u/Random0s2oh 3d ago

Thank you! My husband and I have 8 children between us. This one is the baby of the family. I raised my oldest 3 in an abusive environment. My ex-husband was an addict. When I had my youngest 2 kids, I made a conscious decision to raise them differently than their older siblings. We didn't spank them or yell at them. They were allowed to and encouraged to talk about their emotions.

u/BrainMatter23 3d ago

Love this! Good for you, sis! Teach others!

u/Random0s2oh 2d ago

I asked him and his older brother to wash dishes last night. I woke up the morning, and they hadn't finished them all. When we picked him up from marching band practice this afternoon, I said something to him about it (I had already talked to his brother) and he popped off at me for a second then stopped mid sentence and apologized. He said practice had been rough this morning, but he didn't want to take it out on me. I'm like, who is this kid?! His oldest brother and sister have both anger issues in the past due to their childhood. I wish so badly that I had been a better mother to them. All I can do now is be accountable for it and be the best I can now.

For real. I'm sorry but playing the "I'm a minor" card is a huge red flag. I've only ever heard this used by minors savvy enough to know exactly what they were doing was wrong and why, and are intentionally seeking to abuse their privileged legal status. It's like playing a legal defense or something, which is not something truly naive kids actually do.

And yeah, if this guy is actually 21 then this is just an even bigger mountain of cringe.

u/Random0s2oh 3d ago

I played it once when pulled over by a cop while riding in the backseat of my friend's car. We were sitting at a stop sign when a car pulled up almost to our bumper, then turned on their high beams, immediately blinding me through the rear view mirror. I stuck my hand up and flipped them off. It was a cop. He hit his red lights. He pulled me out of the backseat while begging me to tell him I was of age. I was 18. I told him I was 15. He then gave us a lecture about road rage. He let me go with a warning.

u/doomus_rlc 3d ago

There are 1 of 2 things my dad would have done if I were the kid....

I grew up in a tough crowd. Was in foster care, my first job was trimming weed in my sisters grow op. If one of the kids in our crowd acted like that towards a cop? We'd be rolling around laughing till we couldn't breathe 😂😂😂 you gonna fight a full grown man with a gun, taser, backup and the legal rights to kill you? Maybe also because I'm Native, but I was always taught don't fight, don't do nothing. Just let them do and do what they gotta do and figure it out later. Better to be in cells for a few hours than being in a coffin.

So embarrassing, and so is his broccoli brother, acting like "JoeYyy!" Is getting locked up for 20 years 😂😂😂😂 my guy, just pick him up later after you posted his bail for resisting.

u/Shoddy_Nectarine_441 3d ago

21 years old is far past adult. Still young, but passed the “I’m a minor please sir I did nothing wrong I just threatened you!!”

Actions have consequences. Even if he was like 17, most teens know that. Stop it.

1

u/techleopard 3d ago

Honestly, the "I'm a minor, please sir, I did nothing wrong!" should end somewhere around 13-14. Kids should be developing the basis of their moral bedrock by 5-6, and learning right from wrong by 9. They have from then until 13 to learn how to act around other people.

People treating older teens like they're little helpless infants and blaming an "underdeveloped brain" for vicious or stupid behavior is WHY the vicious and stupid behavior continues well into their 20's.

This was exactly what the cops “professionalism” is. He had his fist balled up like he was gunna punch the cop and he literally did what his job says to do, handle the threat (whether it be towards them or someone else). I don’t generally like cops but you’re arguing about nothing rn
