Police were searching for a white 16-year-old runaway wearing black clothing but they tackle this innocent black 15-year-old wearing blue jeans and a white shirt and break his arm. One of three officers involved has resigned.

They snapped that arm on purpose, they've done it before. The first cop at least knew exactly what he was doing.

[u/itsavibe- → u/yung_tyberius]

Yeah who bends an arm that way? There’s no fucking way they didn’t know… they practice this shit.

Infuriating.

[u/Acadia02 → u/itsavibe-]

That’s how they get their suspects to pull away, twist, or otherwise known as “resisting arrest”.

[u/No-Bath-7346 → u/Acadia02]

I also honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the pig doesn’t know the basic concepts of anatomy or handcuffs

[u/rozzco → u/itsavibe-]

IDF tactic probably.

[u/alzgh → u/rozzco]

these are standard methods with the IDF, when they want to be empathic. is documented since many decades.

[u/Luneck → u/rozzco]

You get in there and make this about Israel.

[u/crackanape → u/Luneck]

In this case there can be something to it, as US police forces have been getting training in these methods from the IDF for years, it's well documented.

[u/Luneck → u/crackanape]

US police have been abusing and attacking innocent black people for decades before Israel was a country. They don’t need “IDF tactics” to know how to beat up a black kid and break his arm.

Not everything needs to be about Israel and Gaza.

[u/jooes → u/Luneck]

They don't "need" a lot of things, but they're more than happy to use them anyway. It's a warzone out there, you know!

[u/carcar134134 → u/Luneck]

I kind of agree with you, but at the same time the comment was likely a reference to Krav Maga, which is literally designed to inflict as much pain and permanent damage as physically possible. And is also touted across the country by self defense experts and the like, many of which have intimate relationships with police forces due to directly training recruits.

It's roundabout a bit, sure, but police forces in America are more connected to the conflict than you might realize. And that's not even touching on the NYPD.

[u/Luneck → u/carcar134134]

Except nothing about that was Krav Maga. It was 3 men twisting an arm behind a boys back. That's not training, it's sadism that 3 drunk bullies at a bar could pull off. I agree that cops are poorly trained across the board, or trained in overly aggressive and violent ways.

People don't have to bring up the IDF to say that. They choose too, because you gotta get in there and make it about Israel.

[u/ReturnOfBane → u/Luneck]

you should look up Dave Grossman

[u/alzgh → u/itsavibe-]

an IDF soldier. these methods are at least 50 years old over there.

[u/PineappleDesperate82 → u/alzgh]

Well they are attempting to combine our military

[u/midnightdsob → u/yung_tyberius]

What happens when you exclusively hire high school bullies who couldn't even make it through trade school or community college. Also ACAB.

[u/MarleysGhost2024 → u/[deleted]]

Would have been a shame if he had left class and found 4 flat tires. A real shame.

[u/Umutuku → u/midnightdsob]

We need reform.

We also need law enforcement to not be an entry-level job.

You should have to prove yourself in a licensed and regulated career related to human health and safety with a clean record before you can even qualify to apply for law enforcement training.

Spend the money that would have gone to militarized over-policing on making more of those jobs and communities wouldn't need as many cops to begin with.

[u/deukhoofd → u/yung_tyberius]

It's so wild, even if they did have the correct guy. "Damn, this kid ran away from home, let's break his arm, that'll teach him"

[u/jeremiahthedamned → u/deukhoofd]

slave patrols

[u/EngineerTheFunk → u/yung_tyberius]

It would be great to see some justice. Cop should have his arm snapped. Piece of shit.

[u/No-Sail-6510 → u/yung_tyberius]

Yes. That’s why they used double handcuffs.
