Why are you cursing? Are you about to sweep my leg next? Getting a little


Riled up, maybe, I understand it happens. Especially, when you have to deal w/the people cops have to deal w/all day everyday. That doesn’t make it right. A cop having a bad day isn’t an excuse. Possibly this cop doesn’t have the right temperament for the job. I’m just not going to predetermine what happened, like those involved in Oberlin College. Which I used because It was a recent verdict of a case where people predetermine or tried to use a false narrative of what actually happened. There are hundreds of other examples where people make decisions w/o the facts. I will stay on my high horse & not do that here. Also, I’m not going back to read up. I’ll trust the police department to get all the facts & do the appropriate thing.
I’m guessing if you watched this video muted so you didn’t hear the play by play from the biased neighbor filming or the cops foul mouth while losing his temper you wouldn’t have a big problem w/ the arrest. Again I’m not saying it’s right for a cop to talk that way but other than foul language, the arrest wasn’t bad. Everyone was safely handcuffed & placed in the patrol car. There wasn’t any physical violence other than the kick to the shoe to get him to spread his legs.
Maybe the cursing was, ERRONEOUSLY, the cops way of trying to maintain control of the situation. I’ve heard cops cursing quite a bit lately, in lots of videos & it does seem unprofessional & outright provoking at times. Maybe it’s time departments start addressing their use of language but I suspect police chiefs have felt recently they have bigger problems to resolve than inappropriate language.
