The trigger discipline of that cop…
Against a guy who has… a stick?
Where I’m from the police probably would be under inspection for just pulling the gun out.
American police are the violence arm of the American Apartheid. They exist only to suppress black and brown people, and occasionally enforce the law when low income white people do something heinous to other white people of equal or greater economic background.
We can only dream
He was even trying to avoid hitting the dog because he clearly did not want to hurt it.
America is lost.
“Lets hide behind this bulletproof car in case he throws his breadstick at us”. Afterall, US police have decades of experience playing the victim, their training aligns with it.
I counted at least 14 brave men in uniform cowering behind one of their giant freedom trucks in response to a man with a stick (who seems to be distraught, or having a mental health crisis). Such an arse-backwards country.
He wasn’t even hitting that dog with the stick, just trying to stop it from biting him.
Careful boys, he’s got a fucking broom!
What a bunch of pathetic larpers.
Actual larper here, the word you’re looking for is little bitches. Most larps are all about getting in close and whacking the other person with a melee weapon. Real larpers would be way more effective than the cops here.
Sending the dog in against a man armed with a big stick is funny as fuck.
“Go get the stick, boy!”
“Watch out! He’s got a giant breadstick!”
“He’s comin’ right for us! Release the hounds!”
Those Newks bread sticks are strong af boi!
Can anyone give context to what is happening apart from the ridiculous use of force and manpower?
No, but I just wanna correct some phrasing for you;
Those aren’t men, those are fuckboy bitches. There’s only one man in this video, and he gets jumped by a bunch of fuckboy bitches and their dog.
In all likelihood, it is probable he is just a dude having a really fucked up day and somebody decided that the cops needed to be called. Whatever the reason they were called, the response was wildly out of proportion almost certainly and exclusively because of the color of his skin.
tldr: he had hit a parking lot attendant twice in the head with the stick earlier. The police tried using less lethal methods but failed to accomplish anything with that and so sent the dog. The headline says he had a knife but it’s not mentioned anywhere in the body of the story.
Re: knifeman in the title.
Probably just really lazy editing and not understanding the actual story. It says he struck the parking attendant with a broken cane causing lacerations.
I mean… A broken piece of wood can be sharp enough to pierce/slash the skin. Lacerations usually means knife but either AI or the editor skimmed the article and modified the headline to be more outstanding and made it factually incorrect.
It also says he was later tracked down and found wielding the 6 foot stick, so the video only shows said stick and would not include the cane from earlier.
“sawn off cane” so still just a stick
Tried to use less than lethal methods according to the police statement and the New York Post reporting on said statement.
Melanin count was dangerously high.
This guy’s melanin levels is off the chart! It’s over 9000!
Makes you the chosen ones. Like with midichlorians but shittier in experience
Cops saw a black guy and thought, “Yee Haw! We got us a chance to do that thing Terry was talkin’ about at the Klan meeting last night!”
He literally just had a stick.
" I know it was terrifying! I shit myself!" -Cops
I’m willing to bet he shit himself before the encounter.
I’m surprised the dog didn’t steal it
You don’t understand, it was covered in fentanyl
Well, at least they didn’t just shoot him, I guess that’s an improvement.
That’s a pathetic bunch of assholes.
In other countries they have catch poles/man catchers. Unsure why we don’t use them here since they are very effective.
They are not cool, like a gun.
A guy with a stick required that level of response? Lol ok
Nice that he didn’t hit the dog with the stick, just used it to keep the dog away
