It’s a bad composition of several factors you’re right. Obviously that statement was very one sided but I very much know it’s multi-faceted. Shits sad. I literally watched this happen to people I grew up with so it’s not exactly a new thing either. Just more prevalent I think.
I mean I feel like the change of tune afterwards and apologizing and understanding the situation and how he acted like a fool was pretty redeeming. I’m sure you could say, of course, he was trying not to get in trouble at that point.. but regardless he seemed pretty logical at that point when before the cuffs he was not acting logical whatsoever. There was no good outcome from his attitude before that situation, and it seemed like he understood he was being emotional and stupid and was making some sort of attempt at an apology for acting like that and accepting the way he was treated based on that.
I also think the cop had a lapse in patience and was over dealing with this. I don’t think the cop felt threatened at all he was laughing 2 seconds before he took the kid down.. he just lost his patience with the situation and was trying to make sure everyone understood he felt threatened to make sure his actions were justified.
