My dumb take is this is probably an overworked cop (overworked–> burnout–> resentment) who got burned on a previous call and now having a little less patience on the current call.
(Speculative, of course, so apologies in advance.)
Wow. One of the worst attitudes on a cop I've seen yet.
I forgot to mention his buddy just standing there is also a grand disservice.
That cop handled this horribly. Those are very poor and aggressive social skills. I don’t see that he is providing much service to society here.
This cop does not care at all!! Hes a giant POS and should be fired Immediately
I feel sorry for the daughter, you can see she is damaged by her situation. The cops didn’t handle this well at all.
I’m a cop. That cop has no business being a cop. POS
Once the mother talked about the government rubberishness, that's when the cop got a little triggered. The second cop just told the daughter just get your things and leave. The daughter should of just applied and leave, but she ESCALCULATED the situation by approaching and mouthing off the first cop in his face. so the cop got pissed off because her breath was in his face lol, so he arrested her. Regardless on the cop's behavior, before the incident, all she had to do is just leave, and go home. REMEMBER PEOPLE ESPECIALLY BLACK PEOPLE, IF A COP STOPS U ON THE ROAD, OR U R AT A PLACE AND THE COP IS A BAD COP OR A GOOD COP, YOUR MINDSET IS JUST APPLY, AND U WON'T PROBABLY DIE, AND GO HOME. YOUR FOCUS IS U WANT TO GO HOME.
I’ll tell you this from experience, in another country police would’ve beaten you very bad by now.
BSO this guy needs not to be in the field he has zero people skills…..
The cop was not acting like a cop, he was pushing her buttons and escalating the situation, the lady should of just done what she was told to do. Both are wrong, but he should of been professional and not tried to get the last word in.
usually side with the cop in these videos, but this time it's 100% the cop's fault
Tell me you don’t wanna do your job without telling me you don’t want to do your job. 😂
What an abuse of power. This cops attitude was horrible from the beginning.
BOTH of them are at fault. He was unprofessional by provoking her and acting like an a** while she was calm during the whole time. And, she wrong for turning up and getting up in his face whether he was laughing (the situation was NOT FUNNY to begin with), frowning, or whatever. That's a no-no. He should've gotten suspended for this!
Cop is a jerk
Awful policing. Disrespectful, dismissive, aggressive, provocative.
In the words of Maxwell Sheffield, "Well, if it isn't Naomi and Wynnona." 🤣🤣😂😂
The daughter and the mother are in the wrong simply because they're trespassing. The mother may have a mental illness, but she's also drunk and a drug addict. The cop was right. When the Baker Act didn't work, all of a sudden, the mother threatened to kill her. The daughter threw her mother under the bus to save her skin. Then the daughter became pissed with the cop when he started challenging her and he wasn't buying what she was selling. When the daughter yelled, "I GAVE YOU CHANCES!! YOU'RE LAUGHING LIKE IT'S A JOKE!!" That quote made her sound like a spoiled brat.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. 😂
He was being a dick and escalated the situation. We should be able to see the smug look on his face as he antagonized her. She was just trying to get her mom help and it was already a stressful situation. He doesn’t deserve to be working the public.
The cop escalated the situation with his assumptions and attitude. I'm always in support of the police, but just the good ones, not guys like this. That being said, I would have the cop evaluated by a mental health professional to see what the root cause of his attitude is.
That cop was a straight asshole from the start she was very calm and he pushed it 2 far
For those interested, here’s some context:
The baker act is used to lock up people against their will (for up to 72 hours) if they pose a danger to themselves or others (no further support is provided after this time under this act). The act is not intended to be a respite for children who have parents with chronic (long term) mental illness or drug abuse issues, but unfortunately it is often used as such. As the act has been abused and over used (since its inception in the 1970s) by people looking for short term solutions to long term problems (largely seen used against the elderly), the temperament of the officer may be better understood when viewing this video.
For the record, I’m Australian, but did my own research to better understand what was going on here.
I bet he wouldn't do that without his badge!! Certainly would get his ass kicked!!!!
I agreed with the suspect up until about 5:10, then it’s like a switch flipped in her brain that told her to go toe to toe with a cop for some reason lmao
Yea he’s been waiting to get his hands dirty.
Just because you don't have a Y Chromosome doesn't mean you can just act however you want to act and expect to get away with it.
She tried to lie to have her mother falsely imprisoned, then when her scheme didn't work she threw a tantrum and got aggressive with officers.
I picture the cop driving around in a big Cadillac with lights on the roof
Cop needs to be retrained.
It went south real quick. She just wouldn’t let it go.
So, together they're fucked!
