IMO, there's absolutely zero need for 5 officers to throw him on the ground to cuff him. That's beyond excessive.

So how many Stockton Police does it take to screw in a light bulb .

I wouldn't call that "beating"

 

I didn't see a beating.

 

I agree he wasn't beaten. Not even close.

 

I was referring to the headline . It was a little overblown.

 

Can we change the ridiculous thread title?

 

Changed the thread title from "Beat" to "Arrest"

There were 9 there, and I said the extra 6-7 could've been doing something productive. Seems like I did answer it if you were paying attention.

 

So what training are you basing your answer on?

Why is the kids resisting?

 

Because he's part of a generation that refuses to listen to authority. He is above the law.

The fact that it escalated to this because of JAY WALKING.

 

I agree he wasn't beaten. Not even close.

 

Exactly, the fact that the young man wouldn't just comply over something as minor as jay walking is bothersome.

Stockton, California. I miss Sons of Anarchy.

Helps them with what? This is a minor issue.

 

Was it excessive? IMO, yes it was, mainly due to the number of officers and the fact it was for a jaywalking kid.

 

Was it something that warrants some sort of discipline? Not in the slightest IMO.

 

This is how you act like it played out.

 

Officer on radio "I'm going to be out with a Jay Walker, please send back up" and here come 8 more officers.

 

I know you CAN'T see what happened because that's not what the video shows. However the police radio recordings are likely accessible. I would bet my pay checks for the rest of the year that your version is NOT how it happened.

Stockton, California. I miss Sons of Anarchy.

 

Kid should have paid off Barosky first before trying to jaywalk.

Kid should have paid off Barosky first before trying to jaywalk.

 

That's what I would have done. I'd have made sure Tyler made that cash drop for me.

Can someone please post a video of police/public interaction that doesn't involve 1. police getting killed or 2. police misconduct. Just a simple cop gives a guy a ticket and guy drives off. I just want to make sure such things still happen.

So should the first officer have just tazed the kid?

So should the first officer have just tazed the kid?

The answer to that question is always yes, no matter the situation.

Because he's part of a generation that refuses to listen to authority. He is above the law.

 

That seems to be the mindset these days.

Did the kid grab for the cops weapon?

 

Stockton Police Department Joe Silva said: "If everyone would just learn to comply with the lawful orders from police officers and not try to hold or grab any of our weapons force would never have to be used

It's Stockton...
