Miami police put 14-year-old in choke hold for ‘dehumanizing stares’

The kid was playing in the water at the beach and the police thought he was fighting. They demanded he take them to his mother, which he complied with. Apparently on the way, according to police, he clenched his fists and gave them dehumanizing stares.

The police threw the boy down in a choke hold. His mom says he couldn't breathe and that he urinated on himself.

The boy says the police told him that if he were an adult every bone in his body would have been broken.

 

Why are we allowing police to terrorize our children?? So many stories lately..the kid in the Bronx arrested & cuffed for allegedly taking $5.00, the girl in chemistry class arrested because of a chemical reaction.
Police brutality against adults is out of control and now they are targeting children.

 

No wonder kids grow up to hate cops. When kids learn to shoot laser beams out of their eyes, then you can worry about dirty looks from them.

 

"dehumanizing stares" aka, he gave them a dirty look.

fuck these nazi pigs up the ass. police power is supposed to be used to serve public safety, not be some asshole pig's personal power trip

 

This is scary. You live in a police state.

 

i would need to see the whole situation in order to form an impartial opinion

 

maybe he didn't want to get a job.

 

Police out of control again.

 

so maybe there is some information that is not in the article. the article quotes a police spokesman though, so the presentation does not seem to be entirely one sided.

if the information in the article accurately describes the situation, then fuck those pigs, I say.

if the cops are threatened with violence and need to act in self defense, fine. attacking a 14 year old clenching his fists and giving the cops a dirty look sounds more like cops defending their ego trip

more kkk cops. but my question is why did'nt any men on the beach try ta protect the kid from the cops.

 

you can fight with the cops, but you're probably going to go to jail for assaulting an officer. there is also a good chance that they end up shooting you.

also, if you didn't see all of the incident and know the background

 

well in that case i'd already be in prison or dead by now had i been there.

 

Even the boy's own mother didn't dare fight with the cops. How can you then expect someone else will?

 

Call the motherfucking SWAT TEAM. You are going down hard kid!!!!

 

please tell me thats not a serious question.how could anyone not jump on those cops ta protect him ?a 14yr old child,whos only crime in those evil cowardly bastards eyes was being black.he gave them dehumanizing looks?they were'nt human ta begin with.the only look that kid gave them was a look of disgust at their actions.

 

It's called the bystander effect (Source: Wikipedia).

In short: The higher the number ob bystanders, the less likely it is that anyone will do anything. Everybody is waiting for someone else to react and deal with possible consequences of intervention. Nobody wants to draw attention to themselves.
The responsibility is dispersed through the crowd, therefore people feel less guilty for not doing anything.

I'm not saying that it's right or that I agree with it.

 

the best thing was done, hopefully by others as well, it was recorded.
I hope that woman and her son are going to get a nice fat check when it's all said and done.
Hopefully those two assholes will no longer be collecting a paycheck.

 

they should have called it the cowardly effect.
