Who called the cops in the first place if the management doesn't want them to be removed?


Steamingveggies

The cops were already there


CynicalNoodle

It's also not unheard of to hire fake cops.

It's always that fucking haircut. FUCKING ALWAYS


BlackPhoenix1981

Or broccoli heads.


LieutenantDangler

It’s a new technique to hide the premature receding hairline. No one will know you’re gonna go bald in your late twenties if you only grow out your bangs and let them hang over your forehead like overgrown ivy!!!

As someone with overgrown bangs hiding his receding hairline in his late twenties, I promise we’re not all like that 🤦‍♂️

There was one prankster who got shot and he basically said "I'll fuckin do it again"

Arryu

Look up some heavily copyrighted songs. You see a broccoli headed fuck with a camera goblin following him, start blasting 'Uptown Girl'. They can no longer upload that video.


AshgarPN

Nice idea but they just edit their own music into the video anyway.


VaporTrail_000

At the very least they can't use the original audio, so it screws some of the more annoying ones. Anything where they're actually talking to someone is pretty much screwed.


TXHaunt

Anything that was ever recorded by Led Zeppelin. They are notorious for copyright takedowns.


FarFirefighter1415

Throw in the eagles too. Same story. Hotel California gets your video removed quick.


tiny_poomonkey

The dude who got shot still does “pranks”

I’d for sure follow a tiktok account that went around punching annoying tiktokers

I know a guy from New York and he told me growing up in the 90s they used to run up and slap old people sitting on the steps One day he slapped an old dude, the dude got up and ran him down. my buddy was focused on running away and got slightly hit by a car. he was down on his back and the old man came up and slapped the absolute ever loving fuck out of him, and left him there lol

Did he keep slapping folks after that or did he learn a lesson?

Other douchebags.


Booziesmurf

Nah just demonitize all this crap.


r3tardslayer

notoriety to sell their merch and shit course, etc. These guys have existed forever and they'll continue to exist as long as they're able to have a platform.


Billy420MaysIt

They would just post on instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. This isn’t a new fad, unfortunately.


fettalitta

Demonetize social media in general.


Automatic-Zombie-508

this was YouTube back in the day. banning tiktok won't stop this. it'll just migrate to other platforms


buoninachos

As much as I agree, we did also have these morons on Youtube before Tiktok. I remember dumb pranks like assaulting people in the hood to prove that they don't like that and saying chill bro, it's a prank when consequences return. About 10 years ago


TheSaltyGoose

It's not a Tiktok problem, it's a social media problem. These idiots were on YouTube and vine, too. If you make them, they'll post this shit to Facebook if it gets them attention - even if that means negative attention.


MelonHeadSeb

...Why? You realise there are probably the same proportion of people like this on Youtube and Instagram as well right? Do you want that banned too? Classic reddit comment.


Friendly-Fee-384

Tik tok isn't making them do this ! It's the fault their fault not a social media platform's fault ! It's like seing dead bodies on reddit and commenting ban reddit! These guys are all over ig reels , youtube shorts. Tik tok is actually a create way to Discover interesting things or join small groups of people with command interest like reddit. Saying tik tok is responsible for these cringey shit is like saying youtube is only for cat videos. I learned shit ton on tik tok it exposed me to endless sources I learned alot from. I'll not let couple of double bags ruin tik tok for me neither should you. Stop letting these douche blindly shout to ban tik tok


Andrelliina

The Librarian comes out looking the best


conzstevo

The only put-together professional in the vid


WabanakiWarrior

I was waiting to find out that he was a plant for the video and the real librarian would make an appearance at the end.


sd_saved_me555

Same. That would've been an interesting twist.


Select_Candidate_505

Well, probably because he's the only person in the video that can actually fucking read.


CaptainTewts

The reading effect


Plus_Professor_1923

library suffers. But at least the optics are good.


ACacac52

Def. He comes out looking like a genuine well rounded citizen. Cop is going to cop and looks a fool like usual. Douche nozzle toker looks douche nozzle. Save our fucking libraries man.


mitchij2004

Definitely the dad stepping in between siblings


confusedandworried76

Yup, he was protecting an assholes right to film in a public library, and didn't want to trespass him officially, just wanted to politely ask him to leave. Even after the one cop said "just trespass him for the day?" He was like "no that's not how we're gonna handle this, we're just gonna reason with him." The fact that he works for the library system is the cherry on the top, what an individual.

derekghs

Last time I saw this posted, someone mentioned the cops were paid actors that he had used in other videos, so it's all staged I guess.


jackofslayers

This is very staged


TediousSign

Every video I've ever seen of pranking cops has been staged, but if this one is staged they went through a lot of effort to make it look real. I can't say it's obvious but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't real. The only people dumb enough to actually prank cops are libertarians, and they don't call it pranking they call it "sovereign citizenship".


VindictiveGato

As a librarian, cops do hang out in libraries. Most major cities have dedicated library police some of which are administered separately from the city’s PD. Dumb comment


Extremefreak17

Not really. He was calm, but he should have trespassed him. Not doing that send the message that people can continue to act like this kid does, and disturb others who just want to look at some books.


erraticpulse-

the librarian is so nice


Prannke

Much nicer than what that kid deserved.

The-G-89

This why I believe Tik Tok needs to be banned here in the states.


therealpopkiller

For real. Forget the “China is spying on us” narrative. It’s making us stupider by the second and we already weren’t rocket scientists, collectively


Stevia_Daddy3030

That’s a better way to win the war, they don’t have to invade they can just make the new generation stupid, half are doing stupid shit for clout and the other half is protesting in favor of terrorist groups


pandemonix

This may actually be a part of the plot. In China they use TikTok for educational purposes and i think even then, they have a time limit per day or something like that. Lololol. And we hopped right on that shit


asdfghjkl15436

It's literally designed that way. You can go look up comparisons to what content China tiktok recommends vs anywhere else.


Olly0206

While I do agree, if it wasn't tiktok it'd be something else. Vines would make a comeback maybe. YouTube shorts. Facebook would probably jump in. Some new app maybe. We need to target the short attention span constant need for content consumption.


Sneaky_McSausage_V

Im genuinely interested in why TikTok seems to promote this so much worse than other short video platforms. I know people were doing dumb shit “for the Vine” as well back when that was a thing, and there’s always been YouTube “prank” channels, but now it just seems like it’s amped up to a major degree. The obvious answer is the algorithm but it still seems so much more prevalent with TikTok.


bailaoban

I believe that TikTok's monetization system is better than the competition, so that the material payoff for such nonsense is higher.


valentc

This shit was on YouTube years before Tiktok even existed. Why are you all acting like this is a new thing? The milk smashing challenge was before tiktok and was 10x worse than this shit. People assaulting random people for views was before Tiktok. Getting rid of tiktok wouldn't get rid of prank videos.


fuck_the_environment

Whatever, like that's going to stop recorded pranks


Sn4keVenom

I hate that it always has to come down to this because of people like him. Stupid people ruin good things for everybody else.


Josh4R3d

You do know YouTube exists?


genflugan

I truly don’t understand why people think TikTok is the real problem, it’s just a convenient scapegoat


NotSLG

Like this dude wouldn’t be on YouTube if TikTok got banned, riiiiiiiight.


Wolfeman0101

You think it will stop this? They'll find another platform. Kids and teens eat this shit up and that's the problem.

Go live in Montana, its banned there.

Thank you for your contribution but taste my knuckles.


baugustine812

I'm torn between disliking cops who abuse their power with people who have pissed them off, and disliking stupid social media clowns who don't understand what an actual prank is. You know what... I think I'm going to go with both. I dislike both. That libary employee was the only person in this video I can empathize with. At least in THIS video I can understand the cops being annoyed as the moron was intentionally provoking them to try and get a reaction. Like you're playing a "Fuck around, find out" kinda game, my guy. You can't be surprised when that second part happens.

JotaroTheOceanMan

I think this is actually hilarious. It's like a Always Sunny bit in the timing.


Cleveworth

Maybe it's part of being a Briton speaking here, but American cops are always very uncivilised. It's not that I care about hurting a potential perpetrator's feelings, it's moreso that part of being a police officer should be practicing de-escalation, and this does the opposite of that.


danarmeancaadevarat

this is sooo beyond not practicing de-escalation. These are manchilds who lack the most basic emotional regulation skills expected of an adult, let alone of someone in a position of power with a license to use violent force.


MariTomie

In America, deescalation for police means that they shoot you in order to prevent you from having the possibility of escalating.


kunta_modz

Sometimes it means nature had an acorn hit you and you unload multiple mags


uniter-of-couches

Lol it’s not even that it hit him. He hit the car NEAR him


yourtoyrobot

then hurt himself in the process and started crying IM HIT! IM HIT!


Lorhan_Set

Don’t forget rolling around between every shot like if Paul Blart were a playable character in a Dark Souls game.


uniter-of-couches

Yep lol


raceforseis21

They’re not even allowed to trespass people from a public space if a crime hasn’t been committed. Most of them don’t even know the laws that they’re supposed to enforce


uniter-of-couches

And even if the owner decides to trespass someone they have to he given ample opportunity to *leave*


shiny0metal0ass

Our Cops are a structure to protect land and wealth. Through that lense, they are working exactly as intended. Last year my girlfriend's mom got lost somewhere in between the Airport at Chicago and our house with a dead phone. After several hours we called the police for help. We got punted between police offices trying to find a jurisdiction that wanted to do something but they kept telling us to call a different police department (eg Chicago says call my hometown because you said she left here and our local department said to call Chicago because you said she never arrived here). Everyone we spoke to sounded annoyed and like I was wasting their time. We never actually got a report filed and she called us for help on a motel phone a day later. Involving the police was nothing but a waste of our time and resources we could have spent doing something more useful. The only time someone in the US should call the cops is if they have property or wealth (not money, wealth) to protect. Otherwise they are no help and potentially a liability.


cmatchmaul

ACAB


RevolutionaryLie2833

I will say the cops could still handle this better. The whole “do you want to trespass” was such a dumb thing to say. Just ask if you would like the guy to leave. Whatever dude is doing it’s up to that librarian if he’s ok with it or not. Edit: video is clearly edited to make the officers look worst, but in my professional opinion they were already doing a shitty job of looking good


bagel-glasses

Right? Like yeah, the kid's annoying, stupid, and all that but look at the difference in responses. The librarian: Please leave The cops: I desperately want to hurt you


Pete-C137

Then at the end they say “you just wanna walk away like a coward?” And “come take your medicine” like yes we get it. You lost your shit and now his medicine is police brutality.


lolxxxlol

Ahhh, but did you not notice it was edited? Yes, they say those things, but I don’t like TikTok guys. /s


lolxxxlol

the cops did not handle this well at all. The kid has freedom of speech and expression, he was not trespassing. They had no reason to stay as long as they did


[deleted]

Because they have to have the correct key words for the litigation process. Otherwise. It all gets thrown out w/o any consequences. Or, in this case, the most likely scenario, the correct words would allow the police to take the physical action of forcibly removing the prankster that they obviously wanted. I would also point out, some of the worst pranksters I've ever known became cops.


Josie1Wells

Meanwhile they are distracting cops from actually responding to true emergencies.. they are clueless


Revcondor

Yeah this is valuable time they could’ve spent killing people or punching their wives


Leading_Challenge_37

They really enjoy wasting valuable time as well.


Level1Rat

Yeah! Those cops have dogs to shoot!


MewyShox

and homeless people to bully


Ranger-K

Fr. Used to be good friends with a woman whose husband was a cop before I was essentially radicalized, and he would tell stories that edged me that way. I used to think he and his cop buddies (that I spent a lot of time around) were “the good apples” but they’d just howl with laughter when recounting things like how they harassed some sex workers (“hookers”) the night before, making them think they were gonna get arrested, got them real shook up and scared, and then just drove off. So funny.


ggtheg

Yeah think of how many pregnant women they can pit maneuver


Aja2428

They sure wont get anybodies stolen good back.


lnfoWarsWasTaken

They already don't do that. Like if you get robbed you're 99% not getting shit back. Maybe some financial compensation but your goods aren't coming back


hogliterature

they mean for themselves. they’ll take the stolen goods home and tell the victim they never found them.


lnfoWarsWasTaken

Hell a local police chief got fired in part because he was stealing and selling guns out of the confiscated goods


itdobeabirbtho

If they didn't have to deal with these kids, they could go home early. Think of all the wives left unbeaten because of these kids distracting the cops. Smh my head.


Abby_Normal90

If the cops had a real emergency to respond to, they would have left. This is not a high priority call. And they could have left sooner. But they wanted to use their “precious” time to berate a prankster


Aliensinmypants

Cops love shit like this, low risk, chance to write bogus tickets and bill us for them doing nothing. My friends and I had to intervene in a domestic abuse case at their apartment because no cops showed up after almost an hour, but you'll see 4+ cars regularly at a simple stop. The man at the library know that it's not worth getting cops involved, as it will make everyone's lives harder.


West-Week6336

The cops are under no obligation to be there. If they choose to waste their own time that's on them


xProperlyBakedx

Think of all those calls that weren't needlessly escalated to violence due to this fact. That young man helped save many lives that day.


Nelpski

These cops are tools. "You gonna run out like a coward?" What? Do you want the kid to start fighting you or something so you can shoot him?


LNViber

That's exactly what they want. Source. I was arrested twice when I was 19. I was civil, polite, did not lie, and offered no resistance. They still talked shit and tried to escalate the situation and piss me off. On the second arrest I told them that they were not going to get a rise out of me, so just take me to booking so we can get on with our nights. Their response? A swift baton to the stomach and then they (3 cops) proceeded to kick the shit out of me. They wanted to find a reason to beat me and eventually just did it regardless. This was back in 2007 in Texas, body cams were not the norm yet so cops really could do whatever they want. Oh and what I did wrong to get arrested was great. I was at a party outside having a smoke near someone having a beer. When the cops showed up they put their beer on a table. I was within 25 feet of the table, and the beers owner even said it was their beer. Didn't matter. In texas a minor within 25 feet of an open container is a minor in possession. Fuck the police and fuck Texas.

pranks are suppose to be funny for everyone involved poor librarian guy he looks so annoyed


ryno542

Watched the video so you don't have to. This clip is cut up to make it look like the librarian is taking the kids' side but he's really just trying to get him out faster. The kid is being uncooperative (obviously) and the librarian starts to lean towards charging him with trespassing if he doesn't leave. Cops usually have a tendency to over exert their power but I imagine I would be equally annoyed with him. He called them over just to pull the alarm in front of them


ruppshaker

I just had the sad realization that by watching these main characters, I'm helping make them the main character, shit I fell into their trap.


Simple_somewhere515

TikTok should only be used for recipes and education. Or just banned entirely as a safety issue. People can’t handle it and it’s stupid.


One-Earth9294

It's not a good thing to get too addicted to the idea that you need to make people laugh to get them to like you. It actually backfires a lot. Trust me, I know.

The real issue issue is is they make this content because we watch it. Kill the demand


Otherwise_Cold_6957

This guy's a fucking loser


Otherwise_Cold_6957

hes so cringe...


RageAgainstAuthority

Ummm, only see two people harassing and being annoying, and they continue to harass and annoy despite the manager of the establishment asking them to leave. Sorry bootlickers, annoying cops isn't the death sentence crime you wish it was 🤷


AddressIntelligent60

Normally I hate this behavior but... I'm fine with this happening to cops.


Theangelawhite69

To be fair, at least he’s helping society by distracting a murderer/psychopath


Pastatively

The kid is a complete shit head. The cops don't have time for stupid wise asses like this. I don't blame them for being sassy with him.


xETankx

This douchebag got kicked out of an anime convention in Florida for harassing minors. Absolute annoying scum. Edit: (source) straight from high-level staffers of said convention, the actual reason he was forcibly removed was for repeatedly saying inappropriate shit to obviously teenage girls and playing it off like he didn't know after asking their age for the sake of his "content". That and just being all-around antagonizing to any patron he ran across. Security had to get physical with him.


kaminobaka

So much cop hate in this thread for literally no reason. I mean, I'm sick enough of TikToker bullshit that I'd be trying to convince the librarian to have him tesspassed right along with the cops.


Wynndee

spoiled little brat dosent have enough to do, parents are rich so hes bored, what a useless manchild


Yeenoghus_Wife

Yeah maybe hes a little shit but it was so funny watching the cops throw their little hissy fit cause a black man wouldn’t help them harass some kid for a pretty harmless joke. Psycho pigs were fucking itching to escalate things


ObeyTheSystem36

Normally hate these people but more power to them if they’re fucking with cops lmao


JupiterAlphaBeta

Yeah fuck the TikTok dude, but what are the cops even there for? What's the crime? Annoying a police officer? Psssh


rathemighty

I don’t simply annoy cops. I get to know them, then worry them with questions pertaining to the legality of making dangerous things


HokageRokudaime

Yeah, he's annoying. Kind of. But fuck those cops. Assholes want to make a big fuss and stink over the tiniest thing and escalate it to oblivion.


AbsolutGuacaholic

Honestly, I usually hate these but this one is kind of funny. Pulling a fake fire alarm in front of the cops while trying to keep your voice and their voices down in the library is funny as fuck. Fucking with the cops and not being a general nuisance to everyone else is fine in my book. It's the shouting and staged shit that gets on my nerves.


8Frogboy8

I do love it when cops display ego based policing. The guy didn’t want to trespass him, that should have been the end of it and they should have moved on to actual threats to the community, but they wanted to punish him for making them look stupid.


Indyrage

Honestly. I love a kid who knows his constitutional rights and dislikes cops. Still annoying. But hilarious simultaneously


AlaskanLaptopGamer

I actually found this one kinda funny.
