Los Angeles, CA — A video uploaded to Facebook last week shows the ridiculous nature of the American police state.
According to the video uploader, the police in the video below came to this house because they saw a teenager riding his bike with no hands and without a helmet. Not wanting to be kidnapped or killed, the teenager rode his bike home after he saw the police.
When police showed up, you’d think they were responding to a bank robbery or child kidnapping. However, the half-dozen public servants were only there to extort money from a child for not wearing a helmet.
During the standoff, the family knew that their child was going to be kidnapped by police, so they initially refused to hand him over. After several threats, however, the boy would eventually come outside.
The officers blatantly lied to the family, saying only that they wanted him to come outside to receive his citation for no helmet. But after walking out, he’s immediately placed in cuffs and put into a patrol car.
I counted 8 cops there, to arrest one 16 year old kid, for riding a bicycle without a helmet. WTH ???
If the SHTF, those cops are going to be in deep shit !!! I know of situations where one SP Trooper stood up to 10 bikers. Those guys in the video are a bunch of pussies. they were desperate to show their " authority "
Who was that kid? Did he have a rap sheet? Did he have a warrant out? Was he a suspect in a crime? Was he an illegal? Was he a terrorist? Did he have guns in the house?
You have no idea. But he did run from the police, so something's going on, right? Would you run from the police for a stupid helmet violation?
" Who was that kid? Did he have a rap sheet? Did he have a warrant out? Was he a suspect in a crime? Was he an illegal? Was he a terrorist? Did he have guns in the house?
You have no idea. "
" You have no idea. "
And neither do you.
My SP friends would laugh at you, and tell you to stick to tending to expired meters, and leave the policing to adults !!
Correct. But I would error on the side of caution, sending multiple officers. You would error on the side of stupidity, and assume he was a sweet, innocent child.
Not at all. I would concentrate my efforts towards actual criminals, not chasing some kid for a dinky " helmet violation ", easy pickings for wussies. I can just imagine you talking to the shift commander. He asks you where you were while in your precinct there were four armed robbery's, two hit & runs, one of which was a fatality, 4 B & E's, 4 stolen cars. " Well Dumb Ass, where & what were you dumb shits doing ?"
You then reply, " Well gee Captain, we caught this punk and wrote him a couple tickets "
Captain " For What ?"
Misterwhite: " He was riding a bicycle without a helmet "
Captain: " "You are the dumbest M Fer here" Did you really go through the academy ?" " Tell you what dipshit, your on Meter Maid duty, until you retire. Turn in your service sidearm, you don't need it!!! "
