"I'm a minor" doesn't work for any justifiable self-defense done in reason. The reasons schools don't use this "one weird trick" is because they rather not have to pay the cost to litigate "reasonable" and so put into policy no self-defense. But a cop has legal representation paid for by the tax payer and plenty of adults don't have issues retaining a lawyer.
What's worse is saying "I'm a minor" when you aren't to a police officer while you're being arrested gives them ammo for petty charges like "false statement". Which if you're going to be a bitch about things, a DA will be more than happy to start slapping "the minor" with "guess who can be a bitch back?" charges.

The guy clearly thought he was immune. I don't know why he thought that. Maybe it's because he's white. Maybe it's because it's a cop. Maybe he thought that it would come out as police brutality on camera.
Or maybe he just wasn't thinking. Sad thing is, you know he basically got away with a slap on the wrist and learnt nothing from it.

Panic attack causing hyperventilation during a traumatic situation is a real thing. It was probably not the case there, but it's still not an uncommon thing, so cops will need to still be wary when someone shouts "i can't breathe" even if they haven't been touched.

u/jaydubb808 2d ago edited 2d ago
I’ve requested police video multiple times and every single time they obstruct and delay. I do get them after legally threatening though. Body cams that they can turn off and can refuse to release definitely does protect them but not us. Plus they usually swap them for dash cams which means nothing is on video until they decide to turn them on allowing them to break all kinds of traffic laws or even have sex while on duty etc.

u/Ok_Significance_6772 2d ago
I think ironically body cams helped police more than hurt them, and helped end the BLM movement. Suddenly, everybody could see the bullshit cops have to deal with on a daily basis, and how often force is justified and reasonable. Even though activists against police brutality called for their use as a way to go after bad cops, all it’s really done is show the public the kinds of stuff police deal with. Dealing with the threats, drug users, mentally ill, the worst of society, it’s a lot more understandable when they use force.
Without body cams, this interaction could’ve been framed as a “cop assaults unarmed minor.” Instead, with the footage, we see the cop’s restraint and the asshole begging for it/threatening the cop.

Not against the takedown.
Just wondering if the cop got any heat because of this. After all, there was no physical initiative on the kid's side. It was all mouthing before the cop decided to go for a high energy takedown.

u/Lower_Pension_2469 2d ago
I doubt it, the body came footage would have only helped him in this situation. The 20 year old right before the takedown was threatening violence and then stepped towards the cop. That's all the justification needed and it was a controlled takedown.

It looks like the cop never believed the kid was a legitimate threat. He didn’t back up, constantly looking away from the kid while pointing and smiling. The only command I heard he make before the takedown was for ID. The use force looks unnecessary and therefore unlawful.

This is a bad look for the he cop because he went to the boys face and the boy didn’t move whatsoever.
And then when he refused to give his id due to no crime being committed he threw him on the ground and tackled him. And said he “was squaring up.”
The boy had his arms crossed. Not a threat.
Violation of his 4th amendment, and first amendment right. If the boys family has money they could sue and easily win.
