According to the trooper’s report, Sheriff David L. Boren allegedly responded: “If the boy can’t be trusted on his own we’ll make sure he is not allowed to be out in public unsupervised.”

Now I don't have to say it.

“If the boy can’t be trusted on his own we’ll make sure he is not allowed to be out in public unsupervised.”

The kid is fine on his own as long as the assholes cops leave him alone.

"According to Reilley, when he attempted to detain the boy — without any reasonable articulable suspicion — he ran."

He didn't attempt to "detain" the boy. He called him over to the marked police car.

He did that because he saw a teen, with a hamster, wearing goggles, peering through the library windows. That's normal? That's not worth a police officer deciding he'd like to just talk to the kid to see what's going on?

I wonder how many of these incidents are because the cop is actually a psychopath?

You should assume ALL cops are psychopaths. This way you'll behave yourself and act like a human being when you encounter one.

A 13-year-old boy with autism, unsupervised, away from home, is fine on his own?

I wonder how many of these incidents are because the cop is actually a psychopath?

Too many. In addition I believe that cops who shoot dogs for no reason have abused animals in their childhood.

Some of these assholes were bullies in high school so they gravitate to a profession where such behavior is encouraged.

And too many cops are being recruited from the military - the mission is different. Too many cops think they are soldiers and everyone is a potential enemy.

The members of our After Action Review Panel found that Sgt. Reilley was reasonable in his use of force and acted appropriately during the interaction, except for the instance where he mistakenly and briefly switched off his body camera. I support the panel’s findings that the use of force was reasonable and their recommendation that Sgt. Reilley receive a verbal warning for mistakenly turning off his body camera.

Un-frigging believable!!

Not really. His number 1 concern is covering his own ass and protecting his job. To do both he has to cover for the cretin that tackled the boy,and avoid having the city insurance company paying out millions to settle a police brutality lawsuit.

Remember,NONE of these asshats that head up ANY police agency work for public safety OR the public. They work for politicians that can hire and fire them at will. In effect,their political masters are their pimps,and like all good whores they will do whatever their pimp tells them to do.

BTW,"he was out walking his pet hamster" is one of the funniest lines I have heard in a while.

According to the trooper’s report, Sheriff David L. Boren allegedly responded: “If the boy can’t be trusted on his own we’ll make sure he is not allowed to be out in public unsupervised.”

Don't worry about it. We all know you were thinking it. You just lust after strong authority figures.

I wonder how many of these incidents are because the cop is actually a psychopath?

I'm wondering how many happen when the cop ISN'T a psycopath.

I'm willing to bet one number will be much higher than the other.

Since when is it illegal to be a teen,wear goggles,have a hamster,or look though the windows of a public building?

He didn't attempt to "detain" the boy. He called him over to the marked police car.

Same thing,bubba. If you want to argue about this,how about tell us what would have happened if the boy had simply refused.

How come lard ass couldn't get out of his patrol car and walk up to the boy and just ask him what he was doing? Was he afraid of the hamster breaking the leash and attacking him?

You should assume ALL cops are psychopaths. This way you'll behave yourself and act like a human being when you encounter one.

Thank you for writing that and proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that we have all be right about you all these years.

The sad thing is you have no idea how much you revealed about yourself when you wrote that.

A 13-year-old boy with autism, unsupervised, away from home, is fine on his own?

Yes. I have autism,and was pretty much on my own from the time I started elementary school. I even went to nighttime sports events at the high school by myself when I was still in elementary school.

Hell,I even walked to the high school by myself,20+ blocks,at night,to play in Little League baseball games,and walked home by myself after the games were over,too.

Are you somehow under the impression that when someone is autistic that means they are retarded?

Some of these assholes were bullies in high school so they gravitate to a profession where such behavior is encouraged.

IMHO,too many were wannabe bullies in school,but lacked the balls,so they become cops so they have a badge and a whole damn police department to back them up.

A 13-year-old boy with autism, unsupervised, away from home, is fine on his own?

No!

The only appropriate treatment for him is to tackle him and throw him to the ground, plus handcuffs.

Obviously. In your world.

It does seem the cop had no reasonable suspicion of any crime, though the newscaster reported someone did call 911 about the kid. If a cop responds to a 911 call about a suspicious person, and then sees that person who then tries to run away (if that is what happened), what then should the cop do?

Even given the worst possible circumstances, this incident is not nearly as bad as many others. I'm more concerned about cases of extreme, intentional and sadistic brutality on the part of cops where there is reckless disregard for a person's rights, and this case, even if the kid did not try to run away (without which there would be no reason for him to be arrested), doesn't hold a candle to those.

I'm wondering how many happen when the cop ISN'T a psycopath.

I'm willing to bet one number will be much higher than the other.

The number of contacts police have with the public compared to the number of these types of incidents would probably bear out my hypothesis. Add to that the attraction that wearing a badge has for psycho/sociopaths and you would get a higher than average percentage of them in the profession.

Did you read the linked article?

This case isn't as bad as others, at least, as no one was shot or killed.

He turned off his bodycam so he could abuse the boy. That's where I see possible psychopathic behavior.

Also, the cop does seem to show some humanity when returning the kid to his home, which is an element we typically don't see in such cases of unapologetic police brutality.

That was the state trooper showing compassion, not the deputy.

Well, then, that's notable and unfortunate for the deputy, but at least it shows a state trooper has compassion.

This case isn't as bad as others, at least, as no one was shot or killed.

I don't know if you are old enough to remember but it used to be in situations like this, the cop would, you know, talk to the kid and by doing that he would be aware that just maybe the kid has some issues.

The kid would have been asked his address and most likely Officer Friendly would have given him a ride to his parents.

Not anymore. Nowdays everyone is perceived to be a criminal by today's law enforcement culture.

Today, no one is safe from being needlessly harassed and assaulted by the current crop of uniformed and armed soldiers who view the streets of Amerika as a battle zone.

Did the hamster survive? What's his name?

Seems to have been the case in whatever town I knew people and discussed this same matter for years and years. "WHO BECAME A COP?!?"

Sure, there are plenty of exceptions...BUT....

Could be worse. Imagine the freakshow called the SFPD??

If that were the case today, then in this case, this deputy would have probably already known the kid and that he had autism, that he was likely no problem at all, and where he lived. Might have even taken him home as a courtesy, if the kid wanted a ride, and without handcuffs.

If cops had a personal relationship with the community they served it would go a long way to making things safer for both cop and community, but that's not how things work today.

Agreed.

The behavior of the police comes down to leadership. During the first prohibition xome of the leaders in towns and cities were corrupted and the police under them either went along or were out of a job (or worse). Now the problem has been compounded: We still have prohibition, plus the agenda to destroy independence. Making us all reliant and obedient to the government overseers is the goal of the "cultural Marxists" (or "Gramscians" or whatever you want to call the central control freaks).

This is not a simple "collective vs individual" dichotomy. It is the mind sweating fetish for social control, even if it is ultimately destructive to the society. One of many venues implemented deliberately to usurp power over people for arrogant gratification and profit.

Where "patting down a suspect" has been given a whole new meaning......

If cops had a personal relationship with the community they served it would go a long way to making things safer for both cop and community, but that's not how things work today.

Today is is all about "divide and conquer".

Example, when I was 17, my parents were out of town. My sister was away at school. I played in a band, and got home about 3:00 AM. I had lost my door key, and used a step ladder, and was climbing in the kitchen window, and got lit up with a spot light. One of the cops knew me, he lived about 3 blocks from our house. I explained what I was doing and why. The cops got a good laugh, we talked a bit, and that was the end of it. It would not go that way today in most cities. I grew up in a great small town, and at a good time!

" Did the hamster survive? "

Yeah, I think so. The video shows the Trooper giving it to the boy when he took him home.

"There I was,taking my hamster out for a walk,minding my own business,when....."
