Cops gone wild

McMillian's family told news outlets they were enjoying the beach when the officers took exception to the way the teen had been roughhousing with a friend in the surf. McMillian says the officers drove up on an ATV and confronted him before leaping off and choking him. Reports WSVN:

    "That's when the police had told us to stop, so I asked, why, and he told me, because he said so, and I asked why again. That's when he told me, 'Show me where your mom's at.'"

    McMillian said he was cradling his puppy Marco when it all went down. He said he was obeying officers and only wanted to lead them to his mom. His mother said, "As he was walking along the beach, the catwalk where the picnic area is, the police officers were on their ATVs, and my son was walking, and they jumped off their ATVs, grabbed him and slammed him to the ground."

McMillian was charged with a felony count of resisting arrest with violence and disorderly conduct, according to Miami New Times. His case is reportedly scheduled for trial in July.

Miami, so I'm assuming McMillan is Black.

Doktor Howl wins the prize.  Yep, Black kid walking.  He's lucky they didn't just shoot him.

Best line:

"All of that body language alone is already letting the officers know that this is a person that now is obviously getting agitated and can become violent," said Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta."

Because nothing says "threatening hoodlum" like "14 year old with puppy".

Yeah, one of those scary 14 year olds who look like they're 10.  ERHMAHGERD!

When confronted by the authorities, you should immediately prostrate yourself, and start crying. Peeing your pants could be helpful as well.

Anything less would just be confrontational.

No, This will be one of those 14 year olds that appear to be mid 40's and 6-12 inches taller than they actually are.

Wrong. When confronted by the authorities you should immediately apologise politely for whatever it was that got their panties in a knot. And assure them it won't happen again.

Any other course of action will almost certainly result in a fight with the filth and/or prosecution. If you really feel hard done by, you can always smash the windows on their squad car after the event.

As with any tactical scenario, aggression or defiance should only be considered if your forces are more powerful. ie. Greater numbers or better armed. I learned this lesson when I was about the kid's age and (other than the odd night in the drunk tank) I've never been in any trouble with the filth.

You're all missing the point.  Go back and read the article again.

The kid was put in a choke hold and arrested on felony charges for, LITERALLY, looking at them funny.

Does it ever occur to these cops that they're undermining their macho when they act like pussies?

No.  Given my experience with "uniforms", they aren't that introspective.  Where their brains belong, there is only a big ball of testosterone and petty authority.

Looking at them funny and asking "why?" twice. What the fuck did the kid expect, cos I could have stopped reading at that point and accurately predicted the outcome?

Yeah, it's wrong on some bullshit philosophical level but them's the rules of the game as it stands. Aint set to change any time soon so you either play by the rules, learn how to not get caught cheating or face a world of pain.

Reptile brain business.

If people can't access their frontal cortex, it seems they could at LEAST use their dog brains or whatever.
