Spread The Word - Bad Cop!
Thanks Jon Waraas for the heads up.
In Arizona, where I live, Last week on Go Skateboarding day a few teens were arrested for skateboarding; Even though, the cops would say he was arresting them for fleeing and talking back. Judge for yourself. After seeing the video, I found it disturbing how the cop treated the girl, just because she said, “No” about sitting down. Last time I checked people have the right to refuse a command from a cop if there not doing anything wrong. Even if I’m wrong that cop still had no right to over react and start choking the two teens. Think about it did he really think she was a threat? She is close to the age of my sister and I know for a fact that my sister would never be considered a threat!

that cop definitely overreacted, I wonder what ended up happening. Also, the cop could’ve got in trouble for choking her right? I hope he did get punished for it.
