(38,187 posts)31. They were obviously unarmed kids too.
Especially the girls in swim suits. Where did he think they might have a weapon that he needed to take his gun out? That was awful.
He didn't need to do that commando roll thing in the beginning or rough those kids up that way either. NONE of that was necessary. The guy the other cops brought back looked like he had blood all in his mouth. He kept trying to spit the blood out on the grass while that cop finally got off that girl's back, literally, and went over to those other guys to talk crap to them for a while. That cop needs to be on a do not hire list nationwide and in any other country that doesn't want out of control cops that cannot be trusted with a gun.
