People have been shot and killed for less then pleading with a officer to stop. The two young men didn't touch him yet he pulled his gun. So he was going to detain all the black males and use his weapon to get the desired response. And people wonder why others run? Maybe if YOU get dropped on your head you'd understand. Girl doesn't do what he wanted and she got assaulted. Just because you have a badge doesn't give you the right to take away someone's right or their life.First we don't know why the cops were called. That's a HUGE WHY! Maybe one of these kids fit a discripton. We just don't know. We need a lot more info.
Was he forcefull? Yes, but when a cop tells you to do something you do it as long as it doesn't violate a law or your rights that you have.
He pulled the weapon (you don't know if it was a gun or taser, as I would have at that moment, because a mob mentality was about to occur when two back up cops showed up. before we convict the cop or the kids let's get all the facts and then proceed.
The black kids were trying to leaving. The problem was this officer was stopping any black males he saw. They were being detained because a black male was suspected. What if a white male was suspected in a crime downtown and a officer decided to detain any white male he saw. Then decided to get aggressive with anyone who protested. Then pulling his gun on a family coming out of a movie whose member was upset that his daughter got dropped on her head because her innocent white brother was being detained and berated. That officer wouldn't have a job anymore in Lincoln.Supposedly there was a fight. ..the kids where asked to leave they didn't. If the kids would have just left, this never would have happened. Then take off running, why? At some point and time we gotta start expecting better behavior from our citizens too.
Having said that the cop overreacted and should be suspended. The other cops had already calmed the situation.
In before the lock!!!!
I kind of wanted to see him get jacked in the face after he took that girl down.

Good lord.Secondly the girl has no rights other than to observe.
Doesn't matter if the cop is wrong or not. He has the license to kill.
You serious Clark?They were running from the cops first of all. Did you not hear the cop say " don't run from the cops " Who in the hell runs from cops if they haven't done anything.
Secondly the girl has no rights other than to observe. He gave them a chance to leave but she kept running her mouth.
Then she started pulling away instead of complying. That's all on her.
I would have been pissed at my daughter for putting herself in that situation.
Doesn't matter if the cop is wrong or not. He has the license to kill. Its funny how the people in these situations who comply with the police don't get abused or killed. Like the other girls in the video and hell even Michael Brown's friends, etc.
You are wrong on a couple points here. First off, the girl has the right to say what she wants. She doesn't have to sit there and only observe as long as she isn't obstructing the cop from doing his job. Second, the cop does not have a license to kill. A cop cannot just go out and shoot anyone they want. If they do kill someone, it has to be in defense of themselves or another. That is a lot different then a license to kill whoever they wish.They were running from the cops first of all.

This is supposed to be video of the fight before the cops arrived.First we don't know why the cops were called. That's a HUGE WHY! Maybe one of tgese kids fit a discription. We just don't know. We need a lot more info.

Black people or women too. Am I right?Did you notice how short the cop was in the video? This is why short people shouldnt be placed in roles of authority.
Short people feel inferior and nobody respects them.

Oh wait you were serious?
Full disclosure, Im 5'10" and have known WAY too many 6'2"+ guys in my life who think they are better looking, tougher, more whatever simply because they are bigger=better brainwashed.
The consequence shouldn't be being thrown to the ground, having a grown man's weight on her back (notice how he had both knee weighing on her) and to be handcuffed. The "crime" doesn't fit the punishment no matter how mouthy she was.Sure the girl can say what she want, but there are consequences for running your mouth at times in life.

And it's not like she was in the cops face either. The officer was overall sensitive and went on a power trip. Like others have said, the other two cops handled the situation prefectly. That's exactly how the aggressive cop should've acted.
