That kid had no respect for the officer at any point in the video. Maybe the kid was dying for footage since he knew that he had the tools to make a good exposure video. When an officer approaches you there's a certain level of respect that should be displayed (it simply makes the process easier).

The officer did overreact, but the cop didn't file charges, he simply threatened the kid (if i read right). The cop was obviously distraught over the fact that this young child (in his eyes) had total disregard to his presence. Some people get pushed to the limit and that office did that night - not saying that what the officer did was correct but that officer set aside his professionalism and responsibility to talk shit to this kid the same way that kid would probably talk shit on a 'person to person' basis.

If the kid cooperated this incident would've never took place.

If you think simply think i'm defending the cop - you're an...Id.. Not thinking enough.


p.s

that clicking sound... wow!
