  1. Not only should this cop be fired but he should be brought up on assault and batery charges because he did break this kids arm. Yea, this pig needs to be locked up for a while. Any one else would be sittingi n jail or prison breaking bones like this cop did.

  2. Look at the size of him. He should have been placed on administrative leave long ago just for spending all day stuffing doughnuts into his face.

    All he would have to do is roll over on the kid and he’d break a lot more than an arm.

    1. Cops have no regard for your rights, display no respect for the people who have granted them what little authority they do have. Put a weight limit on doughboy and watch the lawsuits fly.

  3. I have to admit, that immediately calmed down the out-of-control animal. Not justifying the officer’s over-zealous restraint, but I am saying that these animals are irrational and have no self-control. If a danger now, are an even bigger issue when fully grown. This is regardless of the race. It is a culture problem that stems from poor education and bad parenting.

  4. yes it does show that he turned it till it stopped, then backed off a tiny bit, and pushed it way past the normal stopping point clearly breaking it ! and he is HUGE compared to the skinny kid. There was already another officer ontop of the kid, so there was no reason for him to even be handling the kid at all ! CLEAR AND OBVIOUS POLICE BRUTALITY done in a very intentional manner !
