See, now this is one of those cases where you cannot judge a video based on what you see alone. You have to ask what happened BEFORE the video of one side of an argument.
People were FREAKING OUT over this RACIST video of RACIST white cops pinning down a helpless 10-year-old!!!
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! Also I’m wondering why the video starts so late, and what happened before the video?
Well the cops released video with more context of the arrest showing that the kid pretty much deserved what he got.
People need to seriously back the hell up and apologize when they spread this crap without context. That kid was threatening the police, and his family wasn’t doing anything about it. Then he lunged at the police. Yeah, he’s a small kid, but he’s clearly attacking the police. What are they supposed to do? Let a suspect go every time a 10-year-old objects?
The outrage over this is utterly stupid. The police didn’t attack the kid out of racism, they patiently tried to talk him down as he became more agitated and copied the thugs he’s emulating from rap music. And it’s this kind of crap that makes people unapologetically back the cops even when they do something wrong. We all need to be better, and more honest, if we want to really make America great again….
UPDATE!
The Athens-Clarke Police twitter account did a good job of addressing this issue quickly.
We have been made aware of a video that is making its way around social media involving two of our officers. We are reviewing the facts around this incident and will be publicly addressing the issue tomorrow.

The body cam footage of the press release we sent out is on our facebook page if you wish to view it. Unfortunately it is to large to place on Twitter.

Very glad they backed their cops and didn’t cave to the unruly SJW online mob. They should be applauded. And that family needs to apologize for raising a wannabe-thug. He has a hard life ahead if he doesn’t change his ways.
