- In a impromptu press conference held the next day, residents called for accountability of the officer, including his firing, and changes to policing.
They want this cop fired for the way he handled this. He should be commended for his response. Guess there is no satisfying some people.
They lucky the store employee did not open fire on them.
Since these parents are ungrateful and unappreciative at how this black male cop gave these teens a teachable lesson on the dangers of carrying a fake gun, Garrett Rolfe should have handle this situation.
@@maryester9650 😲😲😲
The police officer was told by the store owner the boys had a gun. The officer was following protocol he had to be cautious. I don't think he should be fired.
@Nick Stiso but he saw one didnt he?
@Nick Stiso thats stupid
@Nick Stiso my b I meant it was stupid that they didnt have the BB gun and he just showed up full cylinders, I agree with you
Fired ? He should quit and get a job at a real police department
Lot of departments would ne happy to an officer as capable as him !
Not a fan of cops, but this one did nothing wrong. He played it like I wish all cops would...cool and professional.
The kid and mother are playing up to the cameras.
I agree dumb parents and kids
Mother needs to thank officer on how he handled the situation, and then March her son straight down to the store and make him apologize to the clerk.
💯 they aren’t talking about how they were trying to steal in the store. Or were outside the store waving a realistic looking gun around . They didn’t throw the BB gun in the ditch because they were doing good things . Kid needs his ass kicked not to be giving a spotlight .
@Eddie Davis I have been in communities where lil white boys walk around with riffles and fishing poles and there lives were never threatened.
Ian G -> best post yet, bro✌🏾
Sounds like to me and I'm Black this officer should be commended as well as the kids. This officer was engaged with the kids and kept it real. He tried to keep the kids calm and support them and himself. Great job officer and kids.
He was white...
MommaDramaForLife can’t you read? The commenter said that he or she herself is black not the officer.
I agree
He was black duh
Eddie Davis I agree
I am VERY GLAD TO SEE CONTEXT.
(Teens tell LIES. SHUT UP PROTESTERS. NOTHING TO SEE HERE)
teens didnt lie at all on this wtf are you talking about go home sandra you are drunk.
T.I. need to shut up too and go back to the studio and try to to make another album!
I'm sick of seeing everyone play the victim card. C'mon I'm black and I can see through the BS. Why don't you put some glasses and a suit while you at it? Every time there's a confrontation between a black guy and a police officer they always feel the need to play the victim card. You totally didn't have a bebe. Probably don't what kids do and showing it online as if it's a real gun. Lucky you didn't get shot because if you took it out and the cop shot you. Sorry not sorry but I'm on the cop's side.
I agree. Great comment.
Exactly bro
First off, no one cares if you’re black or not. Not all skin folk are kin folk.
There is a great reason bystanders felt compelled to speak up when they see a gun pulled on black males by cops. Luckily there was a plausible explanation as to why here, but there are far too many instances of it being negative not to be concerned.
Not to mention, it’s not illegal to carry a gun (especially in GA) the issue is what it looks like in the hands of young black males. (See the white man w/ semi automatic walking around the Atlanta airport carefree). In the end, luckily no one got hurt.
thetriplethreat3 what??? It’s illegal for a child to carry a gun no matter what race. You can not justify condemning THIS officer. He perfectly handled that situation. They are lucky it wasn’t a gun happy white cop because all of them would have got popped. Stop it. It was a bad decision on there part and I hope they learned from it.
@Suzie Q shouldve been called "Black Lives Matter Too" considering having a movement with the word Black causes constenation and extra scrutiny for many!!
That cop did great in what was shown . Im sure the kids were scared but it could save their life. Carrying a BB gun around acting like its a real gun can you shot with a real gun .
BettyBoop Wolfe I agree carry a BB gun that looks like one now I understand why the teen last year was shot wow those BB guns look so much like a real gun and the mother said on the news the officer should’ve known that. This officer did not shoot and did a great job without issues only with parents which should get a ticket for that.
I'm sure the cop was scared too. So he had to make sure he go home too. What was the people in the background telling those boys when the cop was telling the boys to listen to him and not them? And why are the boys running around with a toy gun? I don't see nothing wrong with what the cop did.
But why white people are carrying rifle and nothing happens, they got compliments from the police thought.
@@fa_abdi3001 Inside the store flashing what looked like a real gun. Come on bro,? Thank God they made it home. And a decent cop arrived.
Pop3395 still, can’t we just see that we have too many cases when we came this close to lose someone for nothing, whatever is a black kid or a cop? Can’t we see that other countries have police with gun and they still go to respond people with knife or rifle with absolutely calm? I don’t family to rely on the decency of a cop, but on the readiness and god training, 6 weeks against years in college and academy abroad. We are a joke. While those kids deserve to be punish for being stupid, we cannot dismiss how bad the officer worked here.
That officer needs to be commended, for handling the situation with such elegance. If he's fired, I hope he sues the hell out of the city.

@@dmo-ra1655 you misspelled. Right.
Hell naw pulling weapons and traumatizing kids
I'd look at you after you almost got shot. How would you praise a cop
@@justinmathis4276- So kids want to be big and bad walking around with a gun and you expect others to come investigate the issue at a disadvantage? Why don’t you sit up and sign up to be a cop and go do it without a gun, or just go do it in a way that you can show everybody else how it’s done. I’m sure you will be willing to put your life on the line more and more unnecessarily just to save someone from being a little bit scared. Right?
Come on people let’s not get carried away, fire the police for what? How about thanking him for doing his job and reassuring the boys they are safe. The report was one of them had a gun; a gun was found fake or not it resembled a gun. Yes I agree the parents should have been notified, but when are parents going to take responsibility for their children? Why is your child associating with someone carrying a resemblance of a gun. Wake up people!
@Carla Costa WLMT
I thought the parents were notified at the end.
Carla Costa I am sorry you feel that way.
White teens walk around with guns and no one says a damn thing other than second amendment
Dj Maillette it might benefit you to stay in school. Lesson 1 “where” not “were” and “their” not “there”.
So It takes a black officer to finally deescalate... I give him a thumbs up. I understand how scary it was for the kids.. but that officer showed restraint that is commendable and we should acknowledge that! I am so hlad those boys are still alive!
@Peg Leg Everything is racist in our country. You can't see or feel it because obviously you are not black. You are probably better of just not commenting right now because you don't understand and all you will do is cause more anger. May God Bless you, keep you well and Bless you with more compassion and understanding.
It’s nothing to do with race, it’s like the BLM protestors think everything is because of race

@@sherilynnpontillo7936 moron
Im brown and i know better than to walk down the street with a gun! And why is this, because my parents raised me better!
Well, you had good and smart parents who know better to not let their child go outside with a bebe gun assuming if they even let you own one.
Ferndawg same here. my mom does not play games & i know not to play games with her. lol.
Wal-Mart sell them to children's parents around Christmas time. Is a child's life worth such a that gift . And you sound like you or no one you know had a BB. Gun
I only saw a concerned mother, PARENTS
Malcome Shabazz i had bb and pellet guns since i was 6, but parents never let me walk out the house with them ever! Cuz they knew the cops would get called!
The police officer did his job and no body got hurt ok so what if you got your feelings hurt next time leave the BB gun at home
Everything that kid said sounds like stuff his mom told him to say so they could play the victim.
Remember the mom in Baltimore who went up side her son head for being with the wrong crowd of people
@Edward Mahoney We can only wish.
Sounds like a kid trying to avoid that butt beating
Watch the guns aim drop when he said don’t move and the kids cooperate... from what I saw he never raised again... well done officer and the kids for listening and not escalating situation further...
I’m sorry things are going from zero to stupid. The cop is one man 5 boys and a report of a gun , which was found. If the boys weren’t playing with a realistic looking toy none of this would happen. Why is responsibility for their actions not being accounted for. I get being scared, but don’t play with guns that look real and there is no story.
2020 is the year where logic is non-existent. It's clear from just seeing the mom not talk about her son's actions but blame the cop and put words inside of his mouth also. All he needed was some glasses to look educated and that's how you play the victim card 101.
You mean five teenagers who are black
@@tylerbenton4495 one bb gun was found... Her kid may not have anything to do with it, but go ahead and assume...
Samurai Nelson What’s that gotta do with anything, whether they are white or black or orange, the same applies they shouldn’t have been plaguing with a toy gun, what is your point.
The police is professional in handling this, did not shoot but instead try to control the situation. He shown restraint enough. We should not think that children will not use firearm , what happen if there is gonna be a sad ending of a school massacre again? Give the officer a credit instead. He is not Derek Chauvin.
She should be mad at her son. He should have went straight home and told his mother and father what happened.
He should not be associating with friends who carry guns fake or other wise.
Unfortunately, parents get mad at everyone else before they get mad at their kid. They'll get mad at the principal, teachers, store owners, and the police and not tell their child right from wrong.
Why he doesn't go home and tell his mom..interesting
Watch video gun was tossed to him
Father?
It's good that the boys were scared maybe they won't do that again
Nah cause their parents are going tell them their a victim an others blowing smoke in their ear
Preach!
It's funny thinking about the popular 80s Christmas movie when all he wanted was that bebe gun that looked like a rifle
Bad time to be a Police Officer. Not surprising so many are resigning.....
So, fuck them.
@@thrillamoe50 lol 😂 you're gonna be the first screaming for them when someone loots your house
thrillamoe50 You’re trash, that’s like saying fuck a veteran. No cops start their day wanting to kill people, instead they put up with nonstop bs from people like you to protect society
SAVION WELLS stupid bitch my house got broken into 4 years ago, alarm was on and everthing. We had live location on all the apple products, i called yhe detective 30+ times, i found officers on patrol and showed them we the stiff was which was 10 miles downthe road. The police told me “ you had home owners insurance right”. So when i say fuck them its because those bitchs are paid to do nothing, my whole homes now supports the second amendment & we cant wait for someone to try again. So FUCK THOSE BITCH PIGS
stirling I support veterans, you’re dumb as shit for that comparison. Why can bitch made police officers disregard The (R.O.E)? Why do our troops have to literally get shot to shit before they can return fire but yet a police officer who is suppose to be trained to deescalate situations can say “ i feared for my life” and then empty the whole clip. Operation red wing would have been a success and those navy seals would be still alive if they could have terminated the comprise but they died because they let those terrorist go who ran and alerted 150+ fighters.
What is the mother doing about this boy? Mothers you need to warn your kids to stay away from bad company. What are they doing with a toy gun. See how simple they could have lost their lives. Thank you officer for thinking before acting crazy. I don't think the officer is to be fired he had to protect himself just incase it was a real gun. I think he did a great job dealing with the situation. Thank the Lord no one got hurt.
She's parading him in front of the media and playing victim.
#AllFacts
This does not happen to white kids.
@@MrOliveroky1 Hey Shaun I know how u feel this world is unfair, but this time I have to speak it as I see it. Right is right and wrong is wrong. When I was young I could not take something home that I did not leave my home with. Tthat to show u how serious my mom was. Not even hanging out with kids that were up to no good. My mom would kill me. I can tell you now I have never been in trouble with the law. When I'm stopped, I speak polite to the law men. I have seen lots of unfair treatment, but I try my best not to give them any reason to kill me. Every country is different. You have one life you have to try and save it at all cause. Mother's raise your children the way God tell us to raise them. Go back to the bible. If they kill your child they will have the judgement on their heads. May God have mercy on us all. Blessings all.🙏🏿
@@vannymac5529 Being polite to an officer does not guarantee that your live will not be taken. In Africa kids are free and play with you guns all the time, it is not a big deal. It is ridiculous that kids have to deal with this crap.
Media finally had to admit that this wasn't just "kids shadowboxing" like they first tried to convince us it was.
James Johnson whoa James. Take it easy.
James Johnson please explain what the hell you just said.
Uh, wasn't a real gun either. Wtf.
@Neekityneek Fam - resembled a real gun tho
Damn that cop did a good job, see dont resist dont die
I dont see where this cop was wrong. To be honest
You disappoint the media
You have 20/20 vision 👍
He is incredibly nervous, though.
He pointed without provocation.
@@jasonau427
How would you suggest an officer confront 5 people, alone, with a 911 report from a credible source/ known business owner, not an anonymous tip, that one of the 5 has a gun...not maybe, but "he has a gun" ...🤔
The officer didn't want to shoot his gun, you can sense that.
@2020 THE REVEAL Shut the hell up dude you sound ignorant the officer is not even white.
No officer wants to shoot their gun, situations force them to.
Yes, this particular officer did a great job, he even spoke well to the kids. He drew his weapon because he didn’t know if the kids were armed, he didn’t want to shoot and he didn’t want to get shot.
Too many witnesses broad daylight.
Now thats what you call good police of course it had to be a black cop
Don’t wave a plastic weapon. He did his job safely. Sadly begging for compliance.
Most of the cops will do the same thing but some times they have to deal with split second situations, sadly not all things come out the way you think
Batman The Dark Knight I am a retired cop. I understand how things can go bad fast. My response was for all the negative coverage on him drawing his weapon.
Wonder if they put words in that kids mouth. You weren’t going to die as long as you listened to the officer.
I hope she teaches her child to not play with guns or realistic looking guns. Also to stay away from bad groups of people.
If you didn't watch the video of the incident or are just being plain stupid than your comment will be ignored.
@June Thomas If you watch it all the way through the reported it was a BB gun
And what about white kids same applys
@@luckzthesecond1694 He said it was bb gun when the cop looked at the gun. Not when the clerk called the cop.
@@butterfly-pf8lj That's a parent thing, not race thing.
If you don't do it, you don't need to be a parent.
The cop originally had the gun pointed down to the ground… [On a call for 5 kids carrying/displaying a gun call from business owner…] Seen the group of kids matching description and getting the upper hand immediately to prevent any sudden gun pull pointed gun in their direction until they all complied and raised their hands then he immediately pointed gun away from them slightly and towards the ground and then immediately after that to a in front of belly position pointing at the ground full… He did what cops are supposed to do to ensure their and or others safety... The cop pointed the gun no longer than needed and was cautious ... And kids running around with guns that look like real weapons is not good considering the way that cops ended up thinking Tamir Rice had a real weapon because he, or someone, altered the toy to look real as much as possible... The job STARTS with parents who NEED to keep real looking toy guns OUT of the hands of children and make sure any such type toys they play with are the BRIGHT BLAZE NEON colors that are easily identifiable to Law Enforcement… btw did Kamari alter his toy gun too like Tamir??? Understand!? : twitter.com/ScottTaylorTV/status/681567388580577280
One of These Is The Toy Gun Tamir Rice Was Holding: Prosecutors

The officer did his job and everyone was safe because the kids complied with the officers instructions.
@eric thefathead Would that have been the officer's fault if they had rushed him and he had to defend himself?
@Super Blimp The kids were brandishing a gun at a store. At this point in the narrative, no one knew it was a BB-gun. The officer did not know if they still had what could have been a real gun or not. What if they still had the gun and it was real and drew it on the officer and fired at the officer before he could unholster his? Maybe we would have a dead officer and you would be giving medals to his murderers.
@Super Blimp Really. An officer of the law is just supposed to stand there and get shot. You're saying that when he puts on that uniform in the morning to go to work he loses his right to self-defense.
@Super Blimp I don't care what you think the marines are taught. If a perp pulls a weapon, any weapon, on a police officer, that is a threat and the police officer has the right to defend himself against that threat. He does not have to wait to get shot or stabbed first. If the perp attacks or attempts to disarm an officer the officer has the right to use deadly force to prevent that. The officer does not have to wait to be shot or stabbed before he can act. The officer in the scenario did not know the gun in question was a BB-gun and he did not know that the perps no longer had the weapon. He had every right to go into the situation prepared to protect his life. If one of the perps made a move that the officer judged to be an attempt to draw a weapon the officer does not have to and should not have to wait to be shot. All you are doing is spouting liberal nonsense.
@Super Blimp That's not what you said. You said, "Cops are supposed to put their lives on the line for us. That includes the willingness to take a bullet." That is simply not the case. With the possible exception of the President of the United States, no one is required "to take a bullet" for anyone, but that is what you said. Now, if you want to backtrack and say they need better training I will tend to agree with you. But I will never agree that they need to be trained to take a bullet for me or anyone else. I will never agree that they need to be trained to wait to be shot at or rushed at or stabbed or pummeled before taking defensive or offensive action. As soon as the danger to themselves is clear and present they need to be able to take action to neutralize that danger. And if that means lethal force then that what it is.
THE POLICE TOLD THEM TO CALL THEIR PARENTS🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SICK OF THIS. The police acted so professional with these kids. NOW THE ACTIVISTS COME OUT OF THE WOODWORKS WANTING TO FIRE THIS OFFICER INSTEAD OF TALKING TO THE KIDS ABOUT HAVING A FAKE GUN. LORD HELP US ALL🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Bobby Digital , and ALL it’s doing is further dividing us. I refuse to believe the MAJORITY are part of this movement, I honestly believe it’s a small majority causing the problem and the MEDIA is the ring leader. I’m black and have MANY MANY black friends that are not a part of this movement. I just WISH that some whites wouldn’t put us ALL in ONE category.
Bobby Digital , It still makes no since to me as to WHY the parents are not addressing the REAL issues. This kid says “he feared for his life” THEN WHY THE HELL was he at the store with his friends brandishing a FAKE gun?? Why don’t the PARENTS address that??? My parents would have beat the living daylights out of me had me or my brothers done something like that. That’s called running with the wrong crowd. I just seems to me as if they are AVOIDING the real issues of TEACHING there kids at home RESPECT FIRST to ANYONE. I’m SICK of the BLAME games.
Bobby Digital have you seen this video?
facebook.com/mediaresearchcenter/videos/292609895461182/?
Have to side with the Police here... he had every right to have his firearm at the ready in case the weapon reported was real.
Agreed 👍🏾
100%! You cant expect a officer approaching a group of people who was reported that one of them has a gun and they were fighting without any protection. Kids gots their feelings hurt because a gun was pointed at them? Then maybe do not fight around in public with a replica of a gun!?!?!?!
The cop kept his cool you must been a brother because he did not react differently
Kept his cool lol. This happened to me and my cousin when we were kids. The white cops did not point a gun at us. Its not about race. Some people are just in the wrong profession.
@My Own Private Idaho We had a toy gun. The cops seen us walking and stopped us so he could examine it. They thought it was real.
@My Own Private Idaho I honestly wasn't affected by it due to the way the police interacted with us. We was made aware that carrying a toy gun that looks real is not a good idea. We were kids in the 90's living in a rural town where a lot of kids had BB guns, so we didn't think nothing of it.
I don't believe the cop should be fired but maybe should handle it differently next time. He didn't see the gun when he arrived and how did he know it was the right group of boys? What if cops start showing up to all calls like this, knowing the amount of false accusations that goes on? Could he not just stop them until backup arrives? How would you feel if that was your child being held at gun point? I believe the cop was scared and overreacted. People who can't keep their composure shouldn't be cops. Hell, I can admit that I probably wouldn't be a good fit. When done the right way, I believe it takes as much skill to be cop as it takes to be a doctor or engineer.
I know right, I am so glad he didnt just walk up and start shooting those innocent kids, just like the white cop did to the poor passed out drunk in the Wendy's drive thru. I mean really, he just walked right up to his car window and unloaded his glock right into that sleeping man who never even put a hand on the officer. 👍
T.I. Outraged about this? He’s the racist. Gtfo, it’s not about skin color
Q Lock you trying to hurt my feelings?
I agree fuck T.I.. he’s not the mayor or governor he just uses people cases for media PR attention
Before you judge the police think about the situation that was very professional to the point of a great policeman not policemonster . Thank you OVERSEER.
That’s what happens when you hangout with the wrong friend’s
Learn the simple rule, just stay home and don't do stupid things. I would have done the same thing cop would have done if I see some stupid people caring a gun. Bb or real. Stay home and you won't be dead. Keep in simple. Know the "kiss" " keep it simple stupid"
can you hear how dumb your sounding right now? kids are just totally gonna stay inside and never come out to play...im a 20 year old white kid from portland oregon and i used to walk around with bb and pellet guns as a kid and nobody ever fucked with me...its a race issue with these police

Storekeeper: "thought I was gonna get shot by some punk with a gun." These kids should have thought of wandering around with a bb gun to begin with. The police did well to save their lives as well as others.
kids just like you said ..this are kids if they were adult then no excuse
I am guessing you never played with a toy gun as a kid. Because I did, and most of men of my age also did. You may have played with dolls, but a lots of us played with toy guns. Why? Because they are toys. I find it strange people here pointing finger at the kids. Kids + toy gun = most men in the world, did when young.
What about YOUR real guns?
He did His job! At a time like this, their is no dam reason for them to have a gun that looks so real. No way should he be fired!
The officer did a great job on Monday. The kids were all the way WRONG! Im thankful everyone was able to return to their homes unharmed. Every parent/guardian was contacted. Not sure why the mother is stating that she wasn't notified. There was a gentleman onsite Monday who spoke for 2 of the kids. I believe he stated that he was the uncle to both. A grandmother was there for her grandson and the two other young men were taken home by the police and their parents were informed. We need to ask ourselves, at a time like this, why would any of these kids have a gun and brandish it.
Be it a BB, water or real gun. We can not rally for wrong and call it an injustice!
Imagine someone showing only the part where the cop is pointing the gun without having context and understanding exactly what's going on. That's why I'm so sick of people. These people find any way to make the cops look bad.
.............yep fact bro ☺
Finally a cop doing a good job! Sadly more people playing the victim! America is in a sad way these days. Thanks to politicians and media!
I watched the video. The cop was doing his job. End of story.
Keep the little thugs at home and off the streets ... If the parents would be parents and not stick their kids in front of video games to be a babysitter ... They might know better and do better ... But a lot of kids in Atlanta get put outdoors at daybreak and not allowed back in until dark ... Great parenting people ... NOT 👎

This is a teachable lesson for these teens
If this happened to me because I had a Bebe gun or one of my friends had one and I was still walking with them I would have never made it to the press conference my dad would have tore me up.
The police officer was doing his job . I don’t understand what the issue is ?!
He pointed a gun at a group of teenagers
Mother should sit down with her son and have a long talk, tell him, you know how you felt when you had that gun pointed at you, the fear and seriousness of the situation. Well son that's how the store clerk felt when he saw what he thought was a real gun being's waved around by some kid. Then he needs to be marched down to the store, gas station what ever it was, and made to apologize to the clerk. Oh ya and most importantly the mother needs to thank the officer for the way he handled the situation.
Exactly, too bad they are always victims and mom will do no such thing. Its how they are taught to think and half the country lets them get away with it.
The cop was on a call about 5 persons and 1 gun, you have to understand that the officer is in a dangerous situation in his mind and still worked to descalate the situation. Yes it's scary to have a gun pointing at you, but it's scarier still to be approaching 5 men alone one of them might have a gun and you don't know if or which, without the advantage of drawing first. They also did have a real looking fake gun minutes before the incident. At least they didn't have it on them and couldn't get jumpy and go for it.
5 children not men
TILL NOW .....COPS WITH GUNS NO GUTS AND MOSTLY COWARD.....SHOOT TO KILL .....NEVER PATIENCE AND ACT PRO......UNINVITED DEATH IN HISTORY.

Put yourself in the cops shoes. There's a bunch of kids and there is info that one has a gun. Do you think the cop should have just walked up there, knowing one guy is said to have a gun, and just took that chance? What if your kid was that cop. You would have wanted him to be safe. I think he did a great job and the kids need to be more careful.
When kids carry a real looking gun ..it was found..the cop handled himself so well !!
The officer did a good job no one got hurt....Good Job Officer 👮♂️
Based on the caller's description of the situation, the cop good policing in my book.
I wonder why the kid didn't tell his parents about the incident.
because they would have to admit to carrying around a bb gun that looks like a real gun ...which is what brought about the situation in the first place.
But it wasn’t on them they had to walk back to the store where they threw it they weren’t walking with a BB gun nobody had anything
victim! victim! no responsibility what so ever !!
They think they've hit the lottery
You should know
So basically all black people are innocent of everything regardless.
That's laughable. ALL PEOPLE ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE. The officer was Black as well as the children. In fact, there was no argument that something was out of order. They are kids.
@@hairmajesty5636 the kids had a bb gun that looked like a real gun that's why the po po was called watch the fucking video and the way things stand right now all black people are innocent regardless of their STUPIDITY.
Yes, but hell no!!!
@@feliperodriguez6885 I did watch the video. There was clearly something out of order( something was wrong) In this case, the kids definitely should not have had a BB gun in public. They are kids! I stand on my original statement...this was a lesson they won't forget.
@@hairmajesty5636 what lesson? They feel like they are victims of police brutality. Backed by their parents, the media, and morons like TI. They didn't learn shit.
The thing is that the store owner called the police reporting a gun.Everytime somebody calls in a report of a gun they just get away with lying and causing shit like this.
Who's lying? They had a gun. News story even states that the boys were shown the store video....of them, with a gun. The kids even told the Cop that they'd tossed it in the bushes....where the Cop then found it. So.....who's lying???
THE COP WAS PROFESSIONAL, COMPASSIONATE, RESPECTFUL, AND CONSIDDERIT AND SELFLESS, WE NEED MORE LIKE HIM
Man I'm stuck on this one.. I think that the officer handled this one very well from the call they had. That BB gun look real as fuq too
who's side are you on???? the killers with badges or innocent unarmed black kids???
@@aaronjones6439 what kind of provocateur type comment is this?
@@ethanhebert8945 you're not exacty a brain trust....................., USE MY NAME AGAIN YOU GONNA MEET YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, YOU'LL BE BEGGING THE COPS TO INTERSEPT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep it real
Why would they demand the officer to be fired??? He didn’t do anything wrong!!!
Sue Grigsby I am extremely upset with the parents for letting their children play in a major city with a realistic looking pellet gun.
Wait till he points a gun at your white son
Samurai Nelson I’m not white, I’m black. These kids need to quit playing around with guns. I don’t care if it was a bb. Go play basketball, read a book, video games or something else positive.
This was a great way for the cop to handle it. It could have gone worst!!! I’m thankful it did not
the cops can say the same thing "i thought i was going to die"
" Traumatized " from not getting the shoes he really wanted in the looting.
A big dollar settlement will make the trauma go away and you know they'll fire the cop to keep those folks from whining but they'll still whine .
@@drjohnsonhungwell5115 oh I know, like Floyd's family who didn't even associate with him and his kids didn't even know him and they have all become multi-millionaires overnight. It's disgusting.
Great job!!!!
the clerk also thought he was gonna die when u punks pulled out a weapon!
I'm glad no one got hurti I would really be upset if all teens were gunned down. Please parents talk with your kids.
The officer offered several times for them to call their parents and let them know what was going on. The fact the his mom didn’t know as soon he got home is on her kid! She is enabling her kid to disrespect authority by demanding the cop be fired.
I commend this Officer how he handled this situation. The kids lied until the owner of the store produced a video of them in the parking lot with the toy gun that looks real.
DOES NOT NEED TO BE FIRED, NEEDS TO BE COMMENDED for an outstanding job.
It's despicable that these "parents" are teaching these kids to play the victims. They were associated with something that they had no business being associated with. Hold them and yourselves accountable.
HE HAD A AIR SOFT GUN ON HIM, WITH THE TIP PAINTED... You play stupid games you win stupid prizes.... 3:05
there is no orange tip just saw the picture, of it
PEOPLE NEEDS TO LISTEN AND OBEY AUTHORITIES!!!! NO EXCUSE FOR BULL CRAP
Only obey if it's lawful, not all the time kiddo
@@elvd1296 Go ahead and be belligerent because you think you have the right to this or that. See where it gets you.
And that kid should be ashamed of himself for lying and saying he thought he was gonna die! So far from it, you should be commended officer 🙏
As a black man, I think this police man done very well in this situation, he was informed they had a gun, people are carrying on like 14 year olds dont carry around real guns. He tried to keep the kids calm and he shouldn't be fired for doing his Job very well. Everyone went home to the families.
All the cops should take a week off then when anarchy starts happening they'll cry we need police.
great video bro
A lot of our children are going through PTSD and they have never been in a war. Guns are being pointed at them from all directions.
When’s the lawsuit for anxiety ? My son is a perfect boy . He just likes to hang around with thief’s and kids that carry look a like guns to be cool :/
NOT ONE TIME IN THAT WHOLE VIDEO DID I EVEN REMOTELY FEEL LIKE THEY WOULD DIE SMDH THE OFFICER DID HIS JOB
It sure does look real...them kids dumb...
But white kids do it all the time and you say nothing
I never thought I would ever say this, but that cop deserves a medal. Brighter example for others to follow...
They coached that teen to act like he thought he was going to die. The cop didn't do anything wrong in this case. And this is coming from someone who don't like cops.
Waaa! Waaa ! Waaa! Waaa!
The better question for those parents to be asking was what were they doing with that BB gun at that store in the first place? If "Kamari" was hanging out with the person who had a gun, even if it was a toy gun and that gun was used in the commission of a robbery, then Kamari and his other friends were in far more danger of losing their lives because of that than they ever were from that cop who apprehended them at gunpoint. Be careful of the company you keep. Your friend(s) can get you into a world of trouble without you even knowing about it.
That kid, and his mother need to apologize to the county for being irresponsible with a Bb gun, causing folks to think it was a real gun, not the store owners fault, not the officers fault, but he kids, and the lack of accountability for their actions.
I am sickened by all the racial profiling that is happening in this country against people of color. But THIS is not THAT! This appears to be a police officer, responding to a potentially dangerous 911 call and effectively managing to neutralize the situation. Everyone followed his orders. Everyone made it home safe and sound including the policeman.
I was a inner city youth. Grew up in the D. I was hanging with friends and some known associates at a pep rally. Unbeknownst to me, 2 of them pulled out firearms and started shooting into the sky near the rally. I heard police sirens and we all scattered. I was caught up and I had no idea what was happening. Lucky for me I ran the right way and made it home safe. I learned a valuable lesson that day. KNOW WHO YOU ROCKIN' WITH!
It is completely unrealistic to ask a cop to respond to a "Person with a Gun Call" and tell him he cannot draw his weapon when he finds the person or he will be fired.
Basically, you are asking officers to go on suicide missions, and the person that had the gun would still be on the streets with the gun. I cannot fathom this expectation.
It is as if society has suddenly said that cops should be able to 'de-escalate' every gun, knife, etc call by walking up unarmed to the subject and saying, "Hey man, can you hand me that and I'll be on my way?". This just isn't how things work.
The cop should absolutely not be fired. He did an amazing job of handling this call, and kept his weapon angled down the majority of the time. He continued talking to the teens to tell them it was OK trying to keep them calm. The boys did an excellent job listening.
The cop told the boys to call their parents while at the store. That may be the only failure. If it was my child, I would have wanted a call from the police with a heads up.
However, if you look at from the other angle: they were play-fighting (not a crime), and had a pellet gun (not a crime) so technically a report was generated because he had pulled his weapon, not because the boys had done anything wrong so he may not have contacted the parents to avoid them getting in trouble.
I think some of these people need to take a step back,this officer did a damn good job of controlling this encounter. He explained everything to the kids and let them know why his gun was drawn “do any of you have a gun “ and to disregard what the crowd was saying.
Excellent police work. We wouldn't be having any of these conversations about policing if they all acted like this officer. Well done and would like to see him in my community.
The officer pulled out the gun, then made sure all of them had their hands up, then pointed it to the side. There was nothing wrong with the way he handled the situation. If he gets fired over this, cops need to take stand and just walk out.
Now us as black people are getting toooo hyper-sensitive.. That Officer aint do shit wrong.. These kids parents should be fired
This officer do not deserve to be fired five against one he did a very good job
The officer had a right to do what he did if he thought that one of the kids had a gun.
Good job officer. You did an amazing job. Be proud of what you did because I'm proud of what you did
America have some nerves talking about human rights violation out the side of their mouth around the world while their government doing this to kids!
As a footnote. Right outside my home last night in middle GA. Two recent high school grads were sitting in a car around midnight. A kid shot himself in the leg while showing off a firearm. Parents, we MUST do better.
The officer did nothing wrong and had weapon pointed downward while responding to a person with a gun. And he was not escalating anything.
We black parents knowing what's going on with all of us for so long, needs to educate our kids about weapons, or toys looking like weapons, especially in public places. # Be thankful.
