Black4blacks Why don’t you show all the shit criminals do see how you can’t be trusted fake

Hey, without the context I can’t really comment other than to say, sometimes these teens do need a punch to the face. Let’s not pretend like there is nothing a person can do to deserve a punch in the face from a cop! I’m agains police violence, but come on

Every day we see the same. America must come to grips with the fact that our local police departments have become magnets for thugs that immunity from being thugs.

He doesn't see a child he's sees a ni&& , grown man doing this a child, Imagine if this was your child

It irresponsible to put a picture out there with only part of story told.

Only stop we they lee their pension and are barred from any other police force.

Only a 12 second video clip? C’mon NBC

Police, black, police, black, police, black.... Actually there are also black police attacking white. Or black attack white police. But no no.. Police, black, police, black, police, black, Police, black, police, black, police, black, Police, black, police, black, police, black..

How many white law enforcement officers in the USA hate people of colour, they either shoot them or punch them? Despicable.

Good

paid vacation? sure. why not. it's worked for the last 200 hundred years. why should today be any different?

You love showing this. No context. Was person resisting arrest? Why was he being arrested? Did he have a weapon? Was he fighting? Biting? Who knows. Why do you show incrdiary stuff without details or context? This will just piss someone off and maybe they go after a cop.

Cool

Black4blacks Well. If this is unjustifed, the teen can sue and be an instant millionaire. Fight it in court!!

America and their race problems !! And you wonder why you have race riots !!

Stupid nbc. Check to see what an officer is allowed to do in a given situation before you try stirring the pot!

The next officer who is needlessly shot... It's your fault. There is no reason this should be national news. Local, yes.. Not national. You are just making the violence worse.

Maybe he deserve it.

And what did the teen do to earn those punches? He had to have done something like Fought the cops 1st ... Be glad you're not in Spain or other socialist countries ... Those cops will beat you within an inch of your life if you don't do what they tell you ...

do you want this officer arresting your teen? now consider that All officers are Taught to be Abusive just like this

He should have been Fired Immediately along with Any Officer who didn't do Anything to stop this Damn Fool. I have already told you that half the Police Force Nationwide needs to be Fired. That Includes all of the Racist White Officers and his Negro Slaves on the Police Force.

Watch Chris Rock's video, how not to get your tail whooped by the police.

Yet another video not showing the build up. What lead to it?

Outside the line and scope of his employment; therefore, no qualified immunity. Charge him.

Well done

Every dang day!!! Are there that many angry, out of control police out there? Apparently! What's wrong with these people?

He'll be sacrificed to the hordes of Salem

Day 5 of this story, I am beginning to think is trying to stir the pot! LesterHoltNBC

this is local news.

Oh it 'APPEARS to show a police officer punching...'. I wish NBC would stop running every story thru a battery of lawyers who soften every word in every sentence, terrified of being sued. These lawyers are spineless weasels.

THE HATE FROM THE PIT OF HELL👹👹👹👹👹👹👹

He should have been fired

I feel they do not have the IQ level to follow instruction because this is only them acting like this no other group are having problems. Read James Watson who discovered DNA he said it. There is a cognitive disability and white Police should not have to deal with this.

First off, I would like to nee the video before that punch and the facts as to why cops were called. Secondly, i've been hit harder on the rugby field by islanders twice my weight and size. People are snowflakes....

Wow crazy

Why don’t people just stop committing crimes! I’m sure cops won’t show up if you stop committing crimes 🤦‍♂️

Just another criminal taking personal responsibility seriously

Saw this , and guess what ? This guy was wanted and A felony . Not so innocent after all.

appears to show ... or shows ... he's not grabbing a beer from a table

imagine punching a teenager while your two grown adult buddies hold him down, cops are such weird pusses

Probably had it coming...

What was the teen doing before being punched?

what did the “black teen” do? might’ve deserved it.

its obvious the black kid hit the officer's fist with his face. thats illegal

Fire them all. Start from scratch.

At least they didn’t ambush and shoot them

When do we start the arson and looting ?

This case could use some Eye For An Eye treatment.

It’s very difficult to believe law enforcement want any type of reform. If they don’t shoot a unarmed person they are beating people up .

😳😳😳😳😳😳on administration leave shit simple assault get you some time behind bars

Look at this!

What happened before? Meanwhile antifa setting America on fire

now do the protesters attacking, killing police. This is one of the most one-sided POS videos you've ever posted. WalkAwayFromDemocrats

These white cops will NEVER get it.

Looks like he was combative and resisting arrest.... NBC should be disregarded by the country for printing something obviously intended to stir up racial unrest

Must have done more than “question”.

What's worse?

appears? smh 🤦‍♂️

“Appears to show”... stop spreading unsubstantiated stories about the police until you have more substantial information. This is part of the problem with the public being misled into thinking all cops are bad, and encouraging the hits on them. Just stop!!!

This is TRUMPs and GOPs America if he is re elected in 2020!!!!

Hopefully it was a blm and they beat him good!

IF YOUR A WHITE POLICE OFFICER ' YOU HURT OR KILL A BLACKMAN WHO BREAKS THE LAW & MAKES YOU TO USE FORCE TO ARREST HIM ' YOUR RACIST & WILL LOSE YOUR JOB ! THE BLACKMAN ' WON'T OBEY THE COMMANDS OF THE POLICE MAKES THEM USE FORCE TO DO THEIR JOB SAFETY ' ! SAD DAY FOR ALL OF US !

Hate is wrong.

How ironic, it appears a teen opened fire on 2 LA deputy’s who were just sitting in their car and then their glorified Marxist anarchist group that NBC heaps praise upon BLM, is at the hospital blocking exits and entrances chanting I hope they die and none of it covered by NBC

Obviously the individual was not complying but rather resisting arrest. Stop stirring up shit NBC.

Resist arrest, get popped. Pretty simple.

How come there are no recordings of white men getting the shit beat out of them during an arrest by the police?

Stop resisting.

Nazi storm troopers at work teaching people how to not resist.

Where is your video of BLM protesters outside of a hospital ER chanting that the mother of a 6yr old would die?

Too bad the news is just what media wants you to see.

“Appears”?

And police wonder why they get shot in the line of duty...DoBetter LouisianaPolice

Appears to? The video is very clear. Why the caveat?

Show the cops getting ambushed

Surely with pay, correct? Internal investigation? Why do cops get to investigate themselves? Are there any other industries in which this occurs? Nothing to see here folks. No grand jury, no indictments, ever.

Thugs getting the beating their absent fathers never gave them. I hate thugs and she-thugs

Video appears to show a criminal shooting 2 officers. Criminal is still on the loose & is under investigation.

Slow news weekend? You have been running this for 4 days straight?

Again?

Amerikkka

Young man was going to church had a bible in his hand and was saying yes sir to the bad policeman when for no. I repeat no reason he was hit

“Appears”. He cocked his fist and threw it into the kid’s head multiple times, but we can’t tell if it qualifies as a punch...you guys are so fucking good at news.

In the USA, using the services of police is very dangerous.

Why is teen resisting arrest? Why did this teen never learn to cooperate with police? What was teen doing that required arrest? You only get hurt if you fight with police. Defend Police. Wait for facts. DefendThePolice

White supremacist have joined the local police departments. The corruption is complete from the top to the bottom. These departments need to be dismantled and rebuilt with extreme civilian oversight. Training is very important. Raise the pay because you get what you pay for.

Defund white supremacists.

You think this is bad you should see what happened to the two cops in LA.

These days, don’t do anything that might attract the attention of police to you. Wear your body camera as a defence to record the whole scenery. Or, just stay indoors. It’s just not safe to be outside. especially in the U.S. eh ?

And then the bodycam is released and will completely forget of the incident

marlanalourey Another 'good' cop. 👌

How many times are you idiots going to post this same story?

This will never end if Trump stays in office...

What did the black teen do leading up to this event? Now we know leftist don't want the entire story, which would go against their narrative... but adults want the full story..

Did NBC post the video of the the two offices being shot by the animal?

'appears to show'

Truly amazing WONT EVEN REPORT ON THE UNPROVOKED ATTACK ON THE TWO LA POLICE OFFICERS! Instead all fuel to the flames by posting completely pointless articles like this!

Appears The officer has been placed on administrative leave and the incident is under internal investigation? As usual

please stop this garbage reporting.

2020 = Trump's America Pray that 2021 will be Biden's America VoteBiden

Show the whole video

Good Job Officer. Hope you return to duty soon.

That's the America we need.Racial descrimination must end. Vote JoeBiden

Two police officers were nearly assassinated in LA last night and this is your Sunday morning lead?

Did the “Black teen” deserve it?

Perfect! Shouldn't act like a coddled thug. Good job officers! 👏👏

Did they test the cop for steroids?

Imagine all those that do not get caught on tape. Shame

Officer punching a black 'Teen' That's what happens when you fight with the police, they fight back.

So this is allowed huh

Again!!!! Hire better humans!!! Stop accepting dudes w NO other options!

The media (wimps) are so afraid of the police that they weigh every word, then weigh it again, and wind up with awful statements like in this tweet: '... APPEARS (?) to show a police officer punching a black teen.' C'mon the video CLEARLY shows the cop punching the teen.

Fuck the police

NBC, your HQ for racist propaganda....

I think like other countries to become an officer you continue training for 1-3 years then you are certified to become an officer..before you even step foot on the street..

But you report nothing about this👇👇👇👇👇Typical

FinFox2 The police force is now a domestic terrorist group. As is the trump administration.

Oh. Hope the officer wasn't hurt.

How many more of these police beatdowns & murders does it take to call it systemic racism?

Hit him again. He deserves it. BlackLiesMatter

Strike!

Stop promoting violence against the police. Get the whole story before you publish any articles or video.

Journalism is dead

Hey realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr this poor kid deserves justice for getting beat up. Jail time. Its a hate crime!! ananavarro

Look at this picture. You can see and feel the VIOLENCE.

just keep posting it over and over and over and over....and then we wonder who is pushing crap

Doing what the kids parents won't, the parents are flooding our prisons with theri kids

state sanctioned violence by fascist cops? Just another day ending in y

Never saw the report on the two cops ambushed and shot in LA? Must not fit the narrative

promotes hate towards police, never showing or telling full story

Damn. Cops were having a really good 2020 before this :(

Thank god for journalists! Without you no one would be around to add the word “appears” next to descriptions of things everyone can see bright as day.

In fact: 80% of US cops are stupid people.

We should jump to conclusions.

Meanwhile , cops are being murdered by citizens at a much higher rate than blacks by officers .09 % 90 % blacks are killed by inner city violence and other blacks , white cops save millions of black lives every year , but let’s focus on the .005 bad incidents

🤮

, you are responsible for the shooting of police officers. These kind of headlines do not show the whole story. Stop this! These officers’ lives are on your hands!

Really the devil is working in the midst of this police force, their anger and hostility is evil -driven, it's completely not normal, it's just unfathomable what's happening to Black people, while the president who had been nominated for Nobel peace prize keeps quiet 💔💔💔💔💔

Funny because that officer doesn’t look white?

Go ahead NBC continue to fuel the false racist narrative. You didn’t report on the 5 yr old shot in the head by his black neighbor. Or the 17 yr old who was raped & murdered by 4 black teens. Fools! Bad is bad no matter the color of the perpetrator or the victim.

That’s it? That’s the video? That’s all? This is news? Nothing happened. Dude got smacked up a little. So what he do to get arrested in the first place? Y’all clowns 🤡🤡🤡

Shame shame shame

When will regular people understand punching or 'distractionary strikes' as they are called, are better than spraying or tasing someone? Which is the alternative. They don't cause damage, just minor bruises and discomfort. People complaining when their treated with kid gloves. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve seen this tweet 3x from you but still haven’t seen a tweet about the police in LA who were shot while sitting in their car. Will you be reporting on that anytime soon?

And that’s why they are being ambushed. Oath breaking, law braking, rights violating tyrants.

I've seen a lot of Police Use of Force training over the years and have never once seen punching suspects or arrestees as an approved technique. Wonder how it became so prevalent?

NBC News is the enemy of the people.

LeapAction Anybody in any other job would just be fired, because the evidence is right there. But cops like this get put on leave,its disgusting

Maybe criminals should understand they should go with the police and not Resist arrest

😳🙄😔

If you're told it enough times, you'll eventually believe it. This happens to white people also. They're manipulating you to think otherwise. Wake-up! They aren't on your side.

Love it when a criminal gets a beat down by the police. BackTheBlue

That's not a white officer just sayin

What is wrong w some police in this country? Way out of control

Still Donald trump says America is the best

mcmisher Here’s some more teens peacefully protesting resort fees.

Lol

Now show the whole video.

Ahh yes, a photo and soon edited footage portraying the police as bad horrible savages, and the black person as innocent. Everyone who has died or had a run in with the police being black have been criminals, not some innocent black man. So stop taking it out of context.

I see you and all the fake so called news shows keep repeating this ,Ain’t going to fall for your race baiting anymore!

Lynnevere FUK ANOTHER BULLSHIT INVESTIGATION FIRE & CHARGE THE COWARD LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Black people, stop resisting arrest!

It doesn't 'appear' to show. It DOES show the criminals IN-BLUE at work. Grow some balls and report the facts!

I agree, the parents should of done it.

Appears to show? Geez. That is a weak narrative.

LeapAction DefundThePolice

BlacksDieBlueLies These guys are the judges and juries now too. How professional you are, to get a few good blows in, while two others hold him down for you. You showed him who was boss, and you also showed the world the asscrack view of TrumpsAmerica 193,676 RunDonaldRun

Accountability that’s all we want

maegutz

Every damn day. If you cannot wrangle a teenager down to arrest them without nearly killing them then you should seek alternative employment.

Does this video show the entire incident?

Ha! placed on administrative leave... again, and again, and again, and again! USA TOTALITARIAN STATE

id like to c what happened that led up to this before I make any judgment calls

This makes them feel like big strong men . Imagine what they do when there when no one is watching ! This has to stop . Take a damn boxing class

When does this stop?

We want to see the footage ALL of the footage that led up to this! We demand the truth! If you are going to report something show the whole truth! Not just a scene from the drama!

Was the kid polite when he answered the police?Did he follow directions properly? OR Did he mouth off like a sailor? Refused to do ANYTHING he was asked by the police? Let us know!!!!!

🤮

Poor kid, but GREAT Policing the Police with a cell cam!! THIS is the kind of thing we muct do - take legal action, end 'qualified immunity' for murder, and get the damn KKK and Nazis OFF POLICE FORCES!!

Context. I'm not saying the cop is in the right. Also not saying the guy kissing knuckles is an innocent lamb. Some guys have a ground and pound coming to them. Context tells the tale.

These guys, as well as the George Floyd cops, probably got their fellow officers shot in the ambush tonight in LA. Payback? Maybe.

next time, when police officers make an arrest, they just lift their hands over their head, and order the criminals to freeze there😂

Yet silence on this

And they are supposedly protecting us meanwhile, police are the most dangerous people in our society.

Like we (appear) to have eyes? You journalist are pathetic! If you let trump & the Saudis get away with killing a colleague? We know your eye witness to a black person being brutalized, is highly unreliable!

Make them stop

Classic Pig Behaviour. The Thin Blue line is really shit brown.

LESSON 1 Dont resist arrest. Lesson 2 Dont do something where police have to be called. Lesson 3 listen to what the police say and show some respect. Finally-If those are all followed this would not have happened.

NBC pushing their radical left agenda ..

Let's continue to jump to conclusions . It's worked soooo well so far this year. The MSM has more blood on its hands than anyone else for all the chaos this year. But keep fanning the flames of racial hate. You're ignorant, irresponsible and morally bankrupt!

Punching someone is punishment, not subduing him. If an arrested person is punished during an arrest, is it cruel punishment to punish him again in a courtroom? Sadistic and racist cops must be found , disciplined and fired. This arrest should be voided and the officer(s) cuffed.

What did the perp do first?

This is why we protest. This is why we kneel.

If the teen is resisting what do you expect? Why doesn't the Democrat mainstream media address the systemic breakdown of African American youth and why police are being constantly called to address their behavior. Police are called by citizens to be the solution not the problem

Ugh. Stop punching people that are down.

appears? Do better NBCNEWS

how many time you guys are going to tweet this? lol

should've crack them officers in the head with a bat

Two police were shot in the head tonight in Las Angles. Report on that!

Gee.... it’s almost like you have an agenda to drive.....

The black teen must have cheated on his bowling score.

I am glad that we can continue to see exactly who these people are. It is better to know than not to know!

LuluLemew “When will we ever learn?”

NBC forgot to state that a “Black” Police Officer “allegedly” arrested another criminal resisting arrest.

Why do these videos always start 'in media res', with no prior context?

See this is just plain stupid. He is one that does not belong on a Police force. Put him on fight night in a ring.

DemonHauntedCop

Paid leave that officer needs to be fired an charged with assault. A badge doesn’t give anyone the right to punch anyone in the head while 2 other cops hold him down. This police brutality on blacks needs to stop. This white supremacy needs to stop

Appears to show?

You need to know that police punching civilians is not normal in functioning democracies.

This is what’s wrong with law enforcement! Ppl like this! Hitting folks when they are cuff or on their backs!

Appears... As if there is any doubt! You cowards only help the fascists by refusing to engage with empirical facts.

Kind of journalism is this? Why are you postong this so much. It comes off like you're trying to start another protest or worse.

LuluLemew Fker should be in jail, awaiting charges.

What’s the truth? Tell the story not your opinion.

Apparently please still believe unnecessary force is acceptable then wonder why people protest! What kind of training are they getting?

One day things will change

Appears to show WTF NBC he is throwing.

I like how all these videos start when the perpetrator is already on the ground resisting.... 🤷‍♂️..... Officer also has black skin.... this a race thing too? Or are we gonna finally start talking about culture?

Cop can be heard yelling, 'Stop being afraid, dumb black teen! Want another one?'

燈塔囯只識雙標,自己就成日暴力執法!

I'm not sure why editorial at NBC news feels obliged to couch the language of these clips. 'Appears to show.' The video depicts a big cop punching a skinny kid while who of his cop buddies hold the kid down. That's your headline.

You just lost a follower. Find the whole story before posting this for the public. You are part of the problem.

Shsme on you!

Thank goddess for brave bystanders with videos! We must all be courageous b/c this will only get worse. Now Stone is calling for martial law & insurrection act, but these idiots are saying out loud what others are plotting in the WH.

Notice the gash on the cop’s face.

What led up to this? Why did it turn violent?

All for holding these bad cops accountable but this is bullshit. He did not beat him. Is that cop even white? Don’t build a false narrative, it cheapens the cause.

More excessive force, police brutality and racism.

Appears to be another person resisting arrest. But once again let’s jump to the criminals defense.

Let’s wait for the real story.

Where is the video from NBC showing the protesters beaten on cops Never happen!!

Hey if u old enough to hit a cop or assault an officer then u old enough to get an ass whooping

What happened to getting all the facts before releasing any story? Big media.....that's half the problem in today's society.

Totally uncalled for, they should strive with the belief to do no harm. I'm not naive, but assault is assault and this is abusive.

Again...dont the pigs get it? We have them on tape. Do they really think their that immunity will last forever? Oinks in blue are like the gestapo,

He wasn't even fighting back. He doesn't deserve it.

I want to start reading and hearing how many of them were found guilty and got the chair.

These bada55 lil kids were frontin a cop and got th31r a5535 handed to them. They don't live with their mom and she was running her mouth basically sayin,'not my babies. They didn't do nothing wrong.' The dad who they live with didn't say 5h1t cause he knows they need a wh00p1n

Unacceptable that the media keeps reporting this kind of stuff. This kind of information causes people to distrust the glory of the state! How dare you threaten the social order by exposing its racist violence like this!!!

Puleeze!!!!!!! Facts first !!!!!!!!!

Investigation means to search for justifiable reasons for cops to abuse, kill or any other police misconduct.

These cops are out of control. They HAVE been so out of control. We need them weeded out now. This has to stop.

In Kentucky, internal investigation means to bury it is far away from public view as humanly possible.

Probably had it coming.

BlerdMommy Why the need to investigate? The evidence is right there. It's assault plain and simple, and he should've been fired immediately.

We need more police on the streets. The criminal heathens are multiplying by the hour. Especially inner cities, double the police force. You want less crime? More police is the answer.

Admin leave means he's still getting paid

This is awful, but please, stop fuelling the BLM movement. Police need to be sacked if they are guilty and sent to prison as this is assault. Makes me wonder WHY? ALL THIS IS COMING OUT NOW. STOP THE HATE. TOLERANCE IS HUMANITY.

I'm not even gonna watch it but I can say 100% the little turd definitely deserved it. How did I come to that conclusion without watching it? It's not difficult, anytime ANY of the Alphabet news agencies post a negative police story, You know the police were fully justified.

This is news but all the black people punching police officers don’t get squat

This demand sacking and facing the law. No one is above the law not even the president.

I wonder how the cops would feel if someone beat their child like that. Would it be acceptable the? 😢

Administrative leave isn’t good enough. He needs to be fired and head for a anger management and anti racist class. He needs to not be an officer he has degraded his badge

And that is why the Media is not trustworthy. No one knows what climaxed the situation. I'm sure more video will come out. All they had to do, was listen to the Officers. Wait a week and find out the real story.

Never WILL CHANGE. COP WAS IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE. GET AWAY WITH THIS. TRUMP MOST LIKELY LAUGHED. AG BARR LAUGHED. MOST CORRUPT WH ADMIN IN OVER 50YRS. NOT SINCE NIXON. GOP. ONLY GOP HAS HISTORY TO THIS DAY. CORRUPTION. VOTED A CRIMINAL.

😡😡😡😡

And why does the race matter? Are you all racists?

“The Officer has been placed on a paid vacation until all this scrutiny passes. Then he will return to the streets and continue to brutalizing those he is charged with ‘serving’”

Need to show what happened before this incident.

Again some cops 'defending themselves....' 3 against a teen, true 'heroes'....

it's not just a 'teen' but has to put that its a 'black teen'? i guess race matters huh? got to love MEDIA!

Why aren’t they being charged with child abuse? If that was the kid’s parents they would’ve been charged with child abuse.

What happened before the cameras started recording? Always reactionary BS

Even in 2002, when I attended BLEP, they were instructing us NOT to hit with closed fists. Tf.

Cops punch violent teen resisting arrest...so what?

Appears?

Stop 👏 resisting 👏 arrest 👏. If you did nothing it’s going to be fine.

Good!

I'm not even entertaining this with a RT until there's some context. As of now, it isn't really even a news story yet. You're just looking for quick clicks and raw emotions, in my opinion.

Absolutely horrible and criminal. Cops are acting like they don’t have a brain in their head. This kind of conduct better stop

Where is the full clip? What was the subject doing, except not complying with the officers instructions.

I hope they hold her accountable and she loses her job!

Chris Rock had a great video of how not to get your tail whooped by the police. 🤔

you’d think they’d say ok let’s chill for a bit. But they aren’t and it’s curious.

Did NBC care to attempt to find out prior to the arrest. I doubt the kid was being a wise ass, ignoring what he was asked, walking away from the police, possibly had a record...LOL

ZERO INTEGRITY NBC trying to promote violence and Riots. Why is Twitter not banning this bullshit? I get banned for going against Drunk Pelosi but it's okay for ZERO INTEGRITY NBC to invoke riots? Complete bullshit!

What day in police academy is “punch guy being held down” class and can we replace it with deescalation instead?

IT IS A BLACK COP SUBDUING A BLACK RESISTING SUSPECT. WHERE IS THE RACISM?

Appears 🤨🤔

high school punks with a badge, time to clean shop

Don’t these officers who physically abuse Black citizens ever learn?

Internal investigation means the officers will be put on paid leave.

Looks like a black cop to me. Why not report it that way?

Appears my ass...my eyes see for themself...if he was a White teen, this never would happen...BLM

Did the black have it coming tho?

This is what these sorry pigs do.

'Appears to show' One step up from 'allegedly'

Takes 6 cops to arrest one person? Wonder why people say defund they police.

More law and order guys that don't understand what all the kneeling during the Anthem is about.

That's one scary sight! An adults unleashing the full force of punch on a teen while the other adults is holding the teen down! The helplessness and horror going through that teen's minds only heavens knows! 😩

Look away, no systemic racism here. If this was a white teenager being beaten by cops there would be outrage.

HELLO you are using a picture of me! I would have appreciated you to reach out for my comment first

But black women can go around punching black men all the time tho... 🙄

It’s about time the police fought back! USA is a violent nightmare and someone must do something about it!

Againnnn -:))

Deplorable🛑

'Appears','Investigation' and 'Administrative Leave'. could save time by saving a template that only calls for the location to be entered because this damned tweet is evergreen.

I managed a bar/club in LA 20 years ago & some of our bouncers had to be reigned in because they'd just go off on dudes who just needed to be escorted out. They wanted to fight them instead. Those guys showed way more restraint w/ drunk men than some of these cops do. Same guys.

Should have seen what the police did to a black teen at the station running his mouth at Tampa Fla. 2 cops beat the teen up.

Hell, did you see the way he was dressed? He was totally asking for it.

Imagine if the video “ACTUALLY “ showed a police officer punching.......

BLM will cry about this for about a week

NBC needs the riots to continue.

I saw that video of the bowling alley fight and most of those people deserved to be punched in the head.

Appears?

Appears im so sick of 'news' unless i see uncut im not buying

What you're watching is a population sample of Lafayette Louisiana. Now you know

rolandsmartin Why do they always have to do these long investigations on dirty cops when they have video? When they have video on citizens immediate arrests follow.

Can you say resist? Lets talk about teaching people the proper protocol upon being apprehended by police. Everyone of these situations involves a black man initially resisting arrest!

They don't show the entire footage because out wont for the narrative.

Don't resist

Once again!! The part of the video showing what the accused did is so conveniently not available.

Just for some context. This is what happened prior to the cops getting there. It was an outright riot in there.

Comply. You don’t get punched if you listen to the officer.

reasontoimpeach Just a ‘few’ bad apples, right? 🙄

That’s not punching lol

Is it me or does it seem the police have ramped their violence against black people? As if they dare authorities to do something to stop it.

These stupid police officers should not forget that their children will be assaulted same way they assault people

See this is what I don't understand seeing that video of course it looks like the officers was wrong, but they were arresting him for a reason nobody wants to videotape at the beginning it's only when it gets to this point why did it get to this point that's the question why

All these armchair quarterbacks criticizing before knowing all the facts or ever being in that situation should either sign up and get a badge or stfu! If you do what police TELL you to do, you will get hurt 0% of the time. Period end of story

Discusting go in the army if you need too punch peoples

rolandsmartin Good he needs to take anger management classes

rolandsmartin White people always say that ignorant stuff!

The police have been doing these bad things for so long, it's going to be so difficult to change. Police reform will help. You commit a crime you face the law, like everybody else.

He’s not a cop. He’s a pig.

I have no idea, what led up to this incident. At some time the Police need to be the bigger man/accountable. The young teen already looks as though he is restrained. If his feelings are easily bruised. Then this is the wrong job for that officer. Protect and serve who?

Where’s the beginning of the video? It only shows the officer hitting part..when we can easily tell it didn’t just start there. What is nbcnews hiding from us?

Gotta be racist.

So, if they resist how can you control and arrest someone ? Can't just let them go ?

Chris Rock has a vid on how not to get your ass kicked by the police, everyone should watch it....🤔

Why is it that We ONLY get to see the beatdown of this Situation? WHY WAS THE POLICE CALLED?! Then everyone around has the audacity to criticize! Let's Say The Police WASN'T CALLED! Who then would be in a Bullied Situation? You DON'T miss the water 'til THE WELL RUNS DRY!🤔......

waxingcrecent Indict the LEO if the elements of an offense are fulfilled, & try him in court - separate from administrative. Union cannot interfere with the pretrial & trial.

Maybe they did something wrong.. maybe you should stop breaking the law

😡😡😡😡

Defund white supremacists.

Need to see complete video.

Beat that muther fucker!

I not only see one bad cop, I see three bad cops.

Admin leave and internal investigation. Aka nothing will be done and this guy will work a desk for a few years. Absolute madness.

Police officer placed on administrative leave and the incident is under internal investigation, means nothing is going to happen. Louisiana USA Black

It isn’t very nice to repeatedly punch someone while two other people have them completely immobilized. Regardless of your job or uniform.

Bet u d teen is a verrrryyyyy disrespectful teen.

Texttexas Appears? Really?

YNB Appears?

They can’t wait to do this kinda shit

rolandsmartin It's always a WHITE police doing something evil to a black person You NEVER see a black police officer doing something evil to white people

Bad Cops will be deterred when they are burying colleagues. That’s how deterrence works.

rolandsmartin You know what is so hypocritical about police. They will arrest a parent for spanking a child and leaving a tiny mark. But they will beat, break, kill a child and see nothing wrong with it.

Appears

Kyle is also a teen.

Stop using my people as a scapegoat for your anti trump agenda. Us blacks are sick of it! Trump 2020

rolandsmartin More than likely he broke the law and resisted arrest. Try not doing that next time to avoid getting punched. Just sayin 🤷🏼‍♂️

Stop resisting and stop breaking the law

Thebearwife “Appears”?!? You have no credibility as a news source, you realize that, right? You don’t even report the truth. There’s no “appears” about this, it is fact.

YNB Nail his no good ass. And not just because the kid is black, but because its a kid

The teen certainly was “not cooperating”... That’s a Fact..Spin it if you want..🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Appears

Subdue the suspect before they inflict damage and even death to an officer. That’s the training. If criminals would not fight and resist arrest, this wouldn’t happen.

“Appears”?

Whole video please....

Thr video does show the cop with his hand in a striking position, westher he actually hit the person is un clear. What the teen did to get to this point is yet to be seen

what led to this moment ny daily news = disinformation rag

'Appears'? That's exactly what the cop was doing. Did you watch the video you posted, NBC News?

They had enough of these non parented wild animals.

Sickening and the videos keep coming!

First cannot tell it is a black teen, could be white antifa? Second video did not tell why it happened. These clueless videos are part of the racial tension problems. Stop spreading fake news

This happens when you resist being arrested. Do stupid shit win stupid prizes.

And America still doesn’t understand!!!!

Pretty tame actually.

What the hell is wrong with some of these officers?

Didn't have to hit him. Could have just tased him. Reeeeeee.

BlueKluxKlan

a teen is a child 😔

If this video showed the police doing this to someone that refused to wear a mask or a MAGA supporter, the left-wing twitter trolls would be cheering. Consider that your perspective on their fake outrage. Non-criminals have no sympathy for criminals.

What happened before

A estos hp´s hay que fulminarlos y repartiros en bolsas a todas las estaciones de policías como ejemplo del que la hace la paga cobardes de mierda, solo son armas y uniformes, lo mas seguros están bajo los efectos de drogas y la descargan con gente inocente en las calles

PAID leave, per usual? BLM

What is the story here? This happens LITERALLY everywhere in the world, every day.

rolandsmartin ShannonSharpe another tree 🌳

Do US police officers receive any formal training or are they just recommended by Uncle Bubba?

Looks to me like he is punching another police officer. He who has eyes, see!

The media conveniently only reports on small segments of altercations with police. It's easier to persuade the viewer's reaction when the whole story or full length video is not included. For example: What if the suspect tried to slash that cop's throat 2 minutes before this?

rolandsmartin They are thugs! We need to start over with a whole new system of policing. This is unbearable.

Resisting arrest is met with physical force should they have bribed him with a lollypop.

he could have avoided the whole thing, does anyone at nbc know how?

I guess he should've used his pistol.

As ALWAYS, there is more to this story 😡

In 2 weeks: “We have decided to investigate ourselves and have determined we have done nothing wrong.”

Wow he didn’t pull a gun an start killing people. I guess we are all supposed to be proud. I’ll work on it.

If the video showed the parents doing this, everyone would be upset ready to call CPS, lock the parent up for life. Oh but since it’s the cops, let the investigation play out. backwardsthinking

This doesn’t paint the entire picture. Yes there are bad apples, but I think more on the civilian side. Being a police officer is a tough job. I think there should be more training also.

I think you all should be thankful the Police showed restraint and didn't shoot him.

defundthepolice policereform BlueKluxKlan Bluethugs

YNB I really look forward to the day when the headlines will say “fired and charged” instead of just “suspended”. And then eventually the day (someday?) when we have changed our culture enough that this shit stops happening entirely.

I don’t think the orchard is bad, but their is no clear system to get rid of the bad apples. Instead the apples are picked, put on a shelf where they continue to rot, then put back out for public consumption. Bad cops are not suited for the badge and dishoner their comrades.

Will they never learn?

Sure. Just show the end. Start with the punch. What happened before that point?

I wonder if this would be a story if the teen was white? But you do need a bit of intellectual honesty to even ask such an evil question these days.

Admin leave should be non pay time.

...remind me what the issue is again? Why don't we start with 'DON'T RESIST ARREST!!!!!' You play stupid games...you win stupid prizes!

realDonaldTrump JoeBiden

He probably deserved it

Admin leave, are you kidding me? Look at the video & believe your intelligent brains & seeing eyes. This grown azz creep; b/c he sure an't no good cop, beating a child with full force. A message must be sent: Fire him right away cause we know he already violated police policies.

What were the events leading up to this incident? Is he high on drugs? Did he shoot at them? Whats the full story? Now I know left activists think its 'racist' to want the full story but i dont give a sh** what low IQ leftists have to say. What is the full story?

How many of the officers involved reported this?

Internal investigation

It is time for all true Republicans to get on the right side of history. (Retweet if you agree)

What led up to the teen not complying? Play stupid games win stupid prizes

My plan is to vote early as possible and then go to the polling stations in areas where there are minorities and start filming since trump is going to have sheriff and police there...any voter suppression will be on video. THIS IDEA NEEDS TO BE SHARED PLEASE RETWEET ✌❤

Why didn’t he comply? Why did he resist arrest and fight? Why did he break the law in the first place? Does he even know his father? How many EBT cards does his mom have?

C'est un bâtard un chien ce flic

Appears?

They never show what happens first. It always happens to the most upstanding citizen and then is bleeding heart mommy will come and say he is just the best kid you could ever have. How long is his rap sheet? How come no one ever has the balls to answer that question?

Distrationary strike to get him out of his you can't cuff me position so they can finish putting cuffs on him. You know how you avoid that? Comply

Fuckkkk. Here we go, riots close to home because apparently violence is the only way to get justice for this communist organization BLM

What’s there to investigate the video shows them beating him. Good grief we heard and seen this many times already. It’s a repeat over and over and over again until it’s the NORM, and people becomes adapted to see this with no results of action on the government’s part to stop it

Louisiana has The Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights intended to protect police officers from investigation and prosecution arising from conduct during performance of their duties, and provides them with legal privileges to do what they want without persecution

Kid kept his head tucked giving only the top of his dome as a target. Very smart. Cop may have wanted to punch him but he kept having to pull his punches or risk busting his hand.

Pictures say a thousand words but watching the video the teen was actively resisting. Let the investigation happen before reacting.

I would hate if the video “ACTUALLY “ showed the police officer punching.....🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

How is this law and order? These men are bullies with a badge.

That's it? Come on NBC, that's pretty vague and projects the possibility of excessive force. Fights are never pretty and punching someone is what you do in a fight. Its extremely IRRESPONSIBLE of you to roll out that headline with no relative information to follow. GASLIGHTING?

👨‍✈️👨‍✈️👮🏻‍♀️👮🏻‍♀️👍👍👍👍👍👍

With so many officers they can't subdued a teenage kid? So they rather beat the kid.. what happen in using mase, taser? Personal problems stays at home if that was the case on punching a kid.

Their not police they are pigs.

Media 🤡

Never mind that the kid is fighting the police. That doesn’t matter at all. He’s being “oppressed”

NBC we need more info

x3 adult vs one teen where is the pride

Another high school loser who wears a badge and thinks it's his card to bullying.

Notice on your page a you report on is police. Demonizing police as always. FakeNewsMedia MediaManipulation DefundTheMedia

Did he bring it on himself?

Probably protecting himself from a geeked up punk trying to kill him

I turn my head and look at you funny and you wonder why. No respect for you or your partner who allowed you to violate me. Serve and protect should mean something. Police should police each other before you police me. Higher standards please!

You state in the video you can’t confirm what happened before the video was shot. So why show it other than to stoke racial hatred?

Does police knows cellular and cams could put them In jeopardy

😡😡😡😡😡😡

Oooooooops....Mueller team caught wiping cell phones that contained evidence in his investigation. It's time for another cover up...eerrrrrr....I mean riot!

Fire his ass and charge him with assault.

What did the teen do? That is part of the story

When will people realize you can not fight the police and resist arrest, That's what lawyers are for.

End qualified immunity and pay the lawsuits out of the pension fund.

Weak form bro

problems only coming from the same group

The world needs ditch diggers, maybe he needs a career change

Probably deserved it!!!

You tell them to resist they do and then you blame officers for taking action of less than lethal force? Do you want them to invite the little tyrants over for ice cream to soften their hearts with sweets?

These cops are just trigger happy young punks making the few good cops to look bad. These 3 punks will oneday meet their match with a person that is prepared. It will be a bad day for the punks.

No excuse! And they wonder why the public not part of Trump’s Cult have deep seated issues with the fuzz!

Nothing new except the same dam injustice happening Cops are just basically showing us they can't & have 𝙉𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍 been able to do there job 💯

What a surprise!! No it’s not. ACAB

Welcome to the service

These cops don’t seem to get it. Someone should teach them some manners 😈

I love how news agencies say 'appear to' when it's obvious on the video. CYA much? Grow some balls & say it like it is.

'bystander' lol nope 🤣

“Appears” to show?

soooo what was the black teen doing?
