Zikten 09/22/17 2:17:22 PM #1:	Cop sees 14 year old boy walking through neigborhood doing hand motions and hopping around. basically just minding his own business and doing autism things. cop leaps out of car and approaches boy and demands to know if he is on drugs. boy is nervous and backs up, cop attacks and brings him to the ground and handcuffs him and refuses to answer the boys questions. Even after a polite neighbor who is probably seething inside but is pretending to be nice for the boy's sake, explains to him about the autism the cop never apologizes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvoBNhHaq-Y <cite>Zikten posted [p:887088051] in Cop tackle...

SushiSquid 09/22/17 2:33:05 PM #9:	That police officer should be fired. Not just reprimanded or whatever. Policing is a very different job. You have much higher legal rights, but also responsibilities. This guy clearly isnt cut out for being trusted with that. I mean, let's say the kid had been doing drugs. Who gives a shit? He's not hurting anyone or doing anything wrong. Everything this cop did is just totally wrong. <cite>SushiSquid posted [p:887089018] in Cop tackle...

So in other words the cop was justified. Imagine you're walking past a school and a cop, out of nowhere, tackles you to the ground and handcuffs you. Which isn't what happened. The kid was asked a question first, and instead of answering acted erratically. Hence, he was being restrained until the cop was able to assess the situation and determine that he wasn't a threat. he acted erratic because he has autism. And the cop didn't know that.
