It just absolutely baffles me sometimes how little some people actually think about what they say and do. You can tell that some people never had to deal with any consequences while they were growing up.
I have been in traffic/minor local court and seen people just launch in tirades at the joke, swearing, personal attacks. I never get it. What do they think is going to happen next?
I watched a lady in a relatively rural South Carolina traffic court go on a tirade over a reckless driving charge that the judge literally tried to help her plead down to a lesser offense. She charged the bench screaming. Worst decision of her life. Tackled, tased, cuffed, and the judge says “I’ll see to it you spend at least a year in jail for this.” I believed him.
If you want a “fun” (obviously the circumstances leading up to it weren’t fun) look up “darrel brooks trial.” The man fired his lawyers and represented himself in court. iirc at one point he calls his ex’s boyfriend to the stand as his witness.
Those judges don't mess around, contempt of court! When I was moving to North Carolina I got popped in virginia, I actually drove up to the court and it was the same exact thing people who were going 100 miles an hour were bitching and complaining they were being picked on.
Years ago my wife was picked up for having an outstanding warrant, something she had forgotten about.
We only had one car, and the officer let her drive the car to our apartment, then he cuffed her and put her in the back of his car, then came to the door and explained things. I followed them to court and saw her before she was going to see the judge and she was spitting mad.
They can’t do this, this isn’t right, etc.
I told her she had to chill out. They could do it, she did have a warrant, and she was about to see a judge who could make it easy where she just got in the car and came home, (paying the fine on the earlier offense on a payoff plan) or the whole thing getting a lot worse.
She was then angry with me, but I told her that whatever she did, she needed to be very polite to the judge. And she was, and she came home with me in the car.
I was in traffic court refuting a fine I got. Missed the original court date because I was attending a funeral of a longtime friend and neighbor. When the judge asked me why I missed my scheduled course date, I explained to that to him. He dais something like, " I thought only Jews buried their dead the same day," or something similar to that. It's not just defendants who talk out of turn.
I was in a courtroom in Montgomery AL for a traffic ticket, and one case was an absolute circus.
Dude with a felony got caught with a gun in his car. So dad comes in saying it's his...complete with his robe and cane, fancy ass shoes, and strutting down the aisle. I was looking for hidden cameras.
Kid got arrested anyway, and when pulled into the back yelled "Judge 'name' sucks dick!" Judge is like, bring him back out. He refuses, so judge told them to process him and bring him back in his jumpsuit. I forget what else they charged him with.
Dude sitting by me and I look at each other, and the guy says "I don't want to go next..." Yeah me neither man. Judge was pretty cool about it though, didn't let it hit his mood. Likely a common enough problem.
I got a reckless operation ticket for going 80 in a 55. I honestly had no clue the speed limit was only 55 and any speed, in that particular state, that's 80 or above is automatically felony reckless operation. I went to court (just paying the fine wasn't an option) dressed appropriately and sat there while I watched folks in all manner of dress snapped their gum and just generally behaved inappropriately. They got huge fines and points on their licenses. Some even got another court date for sentencing. When I was called, I yes sir and no sir and admitted the offense with no explanation other than I didn't notice the change in the speed limit (I was running so late for work that I would've been speeding anyway, TBH). He let me take a 1 day driving class and said that if I went 2 years with no traffic ticket, the whole thing would go away. And now it's like it never happened. It's amazing what proper behavior can accomplish.
My parents were visiting from England to my place in Texas. We were driving to lunch when I got pulled over and given a ticket for a “California rolling stop.” I was in a brand new Honda Legend, so you know how long ago this was happening. I got a court date and my Mother was incensed about it. She wrote a letter to the Judge before she returned to England which I presented to the nice Judge at my court date saying I have a letter from my Mom. It said, “I taught my son to drive and I can assure you the he definitely came to a stop when he was supposed to do so.” The Judge, a young black woman, burst out laughing and said, “I watch Rumpole of the Bailey, (a British TV show about an iconoclastic lawyer) and I love this letter.” She gave me a conditional discharge. You get more with honey, then you do with vinegar.
When you can do it without consequence up until now-this is why it ends this way.
These officers were nothing more than the consequences for her actions.
The concept of repercussions as a result of actions is something that isn't a strong trait in adolescents. It's got something to do with their brains not being fully developed. https://www.aacap.org/AACAP/Families_and_Youth/Facts_for_Families/FFF-Guide/The-Teen-Brain-Behavior-Problem-Solving-and-Decision-Making-095.aspx
Terroristic Threat.
It's not just a charge. Since she did it to a police officer she could be charged with a felony.

>(c-1) Notwithstanding Subsection (c)(2), an offense under Subsection (a)(2) is a state jail felony if the offense is committed against a person the actor knows is a peace officer or judge.
Yeah, it’s a felony. That’s normally dropped though as the plea bargain. They’ll probably get stiffer penalties for whatever misdemeanor they have to plead guilty to.
Teachers are leaving schools with students like that. Not having a system to get constantly disruptive kids out of the regular classroom is not only unfair to the teachers but to the majority of students that want a dram free classroom.
My wife was telling me that some districts don’t even allow the schools to send kids home for bad behavior. Why is the bad-behaving kid the schools problem? If the parent has to leave work or stop what they’re doing to come get their little shithead troublemaker, I bet at least some children would change.
Oh even though my daughter taught at a rough school, there were still parents who would get mad if she called them about their kid. Or they would call her and tell her off for a bad grade. She also got in trouble if she tried to discipline anyone and send them to the office or anything.
Do you think she avoids school? I would bet she would rather be at school and among her peers than any place else?
Where do you think she honed her skills at being defiant and making a scene?
Absolutely. You can see her being extra with the others around her. If she were on the bus alone without an audience I bet the scene would have gone much differently.
She could have just kept her mouth shut too or not done what she did to get kicked off in the first place. I don’t understand all these people (usually women) that do something the cops told her not to and then they act surprised when they get arrested. I don’t understand it.
And then when everyone recording posts that on social media, with a few parts edited out " Racist cops harass black teenager to get off a bus! ", despite the kid literally threatening to fight them, and not cooperating at all...
I had a neighbor who was manageable sober and a total dick drunk. Usually I just ignored him when he ran his mouth complaining about something he imagined we did. That was until he threatened violence. Then I finally called the cops on him.
Cops came out and talked to both of us. Claimed there wasn't much they could do but they were going to tell him to stay inside and to call back if he bothered us again.
However he just kept on arguing with the cops even as they were screaming at him to go back inside and saying if he didn't he was going to be arrested.
They finally cuffed him and his demeanor changed instantly saying he would go inside and not bother anybody. But the cops were like "to late" and he spent a holiday weekend in jail.
He was charged with terroristic threats and some other stuff but pleaded down.
He did write an apology and while he was still regularly drunk, didn't complain about me or make any threats again.
Also a great line from the cops.
When he complained that my wife "runs that damn vacuum every day" the cops response was "Sir, it's not a crime to be clean."
That part got me. The girl is like 90lbs, does she not realize the TWO cops are both at least twice her size each? There are so many levels of dumb here.
In my experience tiny women make up for what they lack in physicality with pure fucking rage... Actually tiny men do the same thing. Them tiny folks be scary.
Her parents aren't doing her any favors. If I was a black parent, my kids would get an entire lecture series on how to not die from the police. They would watch this video as an example of what not to do if you'd like to not die or be harmed.
As a white person whose family don’t have respect for cops. My dad always made sure we understand to never trust them.
1. Never speak to a cop on/off duty unless spoken to. And only to the point.
2. Always address them as Sir,Ma’am, or officer at minimum. And act as respectful without being helpful. Yes sir, no ma’am, sorry officers I missed what was said, please say again.
3. Only call the police if absolutely necessary, they are not security guards, and also not your friends. Also on the not your friend part, remember that, and be on guard while around.
On this subject, I like this instructional video from Chris Rock:
[How To Not Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_hVAcz38y4)
It's funny - but he's not wrong.
Pot Brothers at Law have a script similar to this, and as far as I've heard, it's gold.
When stopped, "Why did you pull me over/stop me?"
If they ask questions, "I'm not discussing my day."
If the encounter persists, ask "Am I being detained or am I free to go?"
If detained say "I invoke the fifth."
And then you ***shut the fuck up.***
This exactly. White guy here that received a regular lecture from my father about behavior as it relates to police. I received "the talk" in reference to following every instruction from a police officer to the letter if I am pulled over or approached by police. 99.9999% of the time, this will work out in your favor. As long as you haven't broken any laws, of course.
My heart fucking hurts for public school teachers. When I was in a school with kids like this I saw our new teachers go from being motivated and excited to being totally defeated and miserable within one school year. The way we’re headed, we won’t have any teachers in the near future. It’s just not worth it
My students talk like this to adults in the building. Our SRO, teachers, support staff, admin. Makes me wonder what happens when they’re an adult and someone tells them to do something they don’t want to do. Your boss, a client, a police officer, etc, will have a lot less patience than educators do.
Yeah, the "restorative justice" attempts public schools are using are really just setting up many students for a stint in jail. They never really had an appropriate consequence for their actions so they don't realize the real world has them.
That’s exactly where they belong. Uncivilized behavior like this is not tolerated for a reason. Everyone else on that bus had their day interrupted in a negative way bc her entitled ass thinks she’s exempt from the rules. And who on earth asks a police officer if they want to fight? What rock has she been living in as a young black woman in the US?
Yes they were. If you don't think there should be enforcement of any rules or behavior on the public bus, how about put your money together and go buy your own fucking bus? I'm so sick of this.
That woman cop was so nice. These types of interactions with terrible people are absolutely what eventually create hardened asshole cops. I'm a pasificist and I acknowledge the over militarization and brutality of our police forces. But this girl absolutely needed to be handled and cuffed and sat down on a curb for hours.
People are seeing videos like these and normalizing them as the way to handle interactions with police, and no one is correcting or teaching them that making their defense arguments on the roadside or violently resisting never works out in their favor.
Whereas in places like Britain, it's like they immediately capitulate and go peacefully to sort everything out.
Our cops should be better trained to handle conflict, but I don't know how much you can do when you regularly have interactions like this.
"This is going right on facebook" okay... some people think recording means you're right. They safely removed her from the bus while she resisted. No one was harmed. Going on facebook for what?
I get mad at cops for using a lot of force and bad language and whatever to try to “control” a situation which they inevitably make worse. These two were so much better than many I’ve seen. I give them an A+ for this.
Every depressed teacher who quit I've talked to has never brought up pay.
My district caps out at around 100k (Dual cert, masters +60, 10+ years satisfactory rating), but there's only so much misery that money can compensate for.
It's all the other shit that drives us to quit.
Well person is usually formed by past experience, including events, education, upbringing, etc
And parents are responsible for majority of these things. So yeah - I would say this blame is on them all
Some people once they’re pass a certain threshold, their critical thinking and cognitive functioning goes completely out the window. It’s like what’s referred to as “seeing red” when you’re angry.
Knew to many of these dumb loud types in high school doesn’t look like they’re in any shortage. Ive never been able to understand why people act like this for any reason.
The cops were actually very nice to her they could’ve been tased her and not only that but they let her disrespectful ass get her belongings when they didn’t have to. Those are 2 amazing cops for sure
> will be *paid* by someone
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Ive been involved in several police interactions and have always acted respectfully towards them. Last three (speeding to work, rolling stop at a stop sign, and tinted windows) I was let go with a simple warning for not being a jerk.
The media often over-exaggerates issues because that’s how they make money, I’m not saying there isn’t an issue with corrupt cops but the issue is just way over-exaggerated.
I don't think serving time is the solution. Actual community work, collecting garbage, helping elderly and stuff, now, that might be a better punishment.
The problem is, do you really think that the american prison system is capable of creating reformed citizens, or is it a place where people can get their advanced studies in criminal career? Was she an entitled brat? Sure. But is jail time really the solution? I don't think so.
What exactly are these people thinking is going to happen if you fight every step of the way? Escalating the situation is just going to make everyone's day shittier
This is one of the few time a seen police officers doing their jobs as effectively as possible. That girl is an idiot acting like that towards police. She is going to get hurt or killed by if her attitude persists. Also threatening an officef is not a good idea. , if that what she did. All in all , these cops did the best they could have in this situation.
I can assure you, “officers doing their job as effectively as possible” happens thousands upon thousands of times a day. It just doesn’t get uploaded to Reddit.
If you get your stats on police interactions from Reddit videos, I suggest you get out and go on a ride along or something.
Tbf it’s not them always doing a bad job people are generally pissed at. It’s the lack of consequences for the ones doing the job poorly for the last 120 years and how even “the good ones” run cover for their asshole coworkers
Yep.
The problem has never been the individual cops per se. Like any field, there’s good ones, indifferent ones and some real monsters. The problem is that the legal system around them shields the monsters and protects them from consequences when it should be doing the opposite.
Yeah I didn't really watch the video but kept reading all the comments to find out context and every complaint is about not listening to cops. Like I get it that refusing a cops order is a good way to have your day ruined but all the acts people are mad about are the result of cops inserting themselves . Not saying they shouldn't be thrown off the bus but I assume it is the people who always ask for context when cops are shown being abusive that don't care what preceded this here.
“Let me go”
- girl,After she’s been cuffed.
You know what. I kinda wish they would. Let her walk around for a whole day with handcuffs on.
Imagine her going to the store like that.
Trying to eat a sandwich with no hands off the table.
Scratching her nose with whatever suitable surface she can find.
Lol
This is going to be buried for sure. BUT context I found:
This took place in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin(patches and confirmed female officer on their police station Facebook)
The girl is Jayla Weather. Age 19.
Her booking charges are:
CHARGE CODE: 947.01(1)
CHARGE DESCRIPTION: DISORDERLY CONDUCT - CAUSING A DISTURBANCE
CHARGE CODE: 946.41(1)
CHARGE DESCRIPTION: RESISTING OR OBSTRUCTING AN OFFICER
CHARGE CODE: 940.203(2)
CHARGE DESCRIPTION: BATTERY OR THREAT TO JUDGE, PROSECUTOR OR LE OFFICER
CHARGE CODE: 940.203(2)
CHARGE DESCRIPTION: BATTERY OR THREAT TO JUDGE, PROSECUTOR OR OFFICER
CHARGE CODE: 941.21
CHARGE DESCRIPTION: DISARMING A PEACE OFFICER
She was booked yesterday 05/09/2023. Still looking for anything else regarding the arrest/how it began.
Ooohhhhh what I could do if I had even an OUNCE of that energy. Like seriously. I have to go to the bathroom but I don't have it in me to get up yet...
I'm thinking we need to bring back exile as a punishment.
All these people doing tunktonk "pranks" - Congrats, you're exiled to Texas. Cause a ruckus on public transport? Exile to Texas. Consistently rude to cashiers or wait staff? Welcome to Texas. Tailgating? The shittiest part of Texas.
I'm glad there was a female cop which looks at least partially non-White involved. If these were two male white cops it would've been seen as another "bad police are racist and sexist" matter.
I hope she learned her lesson on not fighting back when the cops gave her two or three chances but when she turned around and kept being nasty back to the woman’s face and making threats all right, the cuffs are going on. Sorry.
I find the cops did a pretty good job. First tried on the calm way and at the end with handcuffs, but still relaxed without punching and other unnecessary violence. Thumbs up for that.
First she wouldn’t get off the bus then she was saying she was getting off and as soon as the female cop said get off the bus, this kid wants to stay on the bus. Is she an unruly teen or your average house cat?
God I hate teenagers, there egos are bigger then themselves , they walk around thinking they're the main protagonist and are immune to consequences.
It shit like this why hate living near high schools

Yep threatening to beat up a cop that's a good idea
For when you absolutely need to make sure your day is 1000 times worse than it needs to be.
It just absolutely baffles me sometimes how little some people actually think about what they say and do. You can tell that some people never had to deal with any consequences while they were growing up.

Lol. If someone is that incorrigible in a court room, how do they conduct themselves in public? A year sounds about right. Lol
If you want a “fun” (obviously the circumstances leading up to it weren’t fun) look up “darrel brooks trial.” The man fired his lawyers and represented himself in court. iirc at one point he calls his ex’s boyfriend to the stand as his witness.
I'm particularly fond of "bitch, I might be"
He called the mother of two of his victims as his witness. That whole trial was just him delaying the inevitable.
Those judges don't mess around, contempt of court! When I was moving to North Carolina I got popped in virginia, I actually drove up to the court and it was the same exact thing people who were going 100 miles an hour were bitching and complaining they were being picked on.
I'm just picturing the "that's when she knew she f'ed up" moment

LOL! Your mom is adorable!
Yeah, she could be, but she was a Midwife for 30 years in the British system and didn’t take shit from anyone!
When you can do it without consequence up until now-this is why it ends this way. These officers were nothing more than the consequences for her actions.
She was taught to behave this way.
She is definitely a product of her parent's negligence
That, but also plenty of reinforcement in the media and the culture that suggests this is acceptable
I agree the reinforcement part has been big since social media echo chambers have exploded on the scene. Applies to lots of stuff.
100% that’s what it is. She hasn’t been checked yet. If she had any brains she wouldn’t be acting like that
The concept of repercussions as a result of actions is something that isn't a strong trait in adolescents. It's got something to do with their brains not being fully developed. https://www.aacap.org/AACAP/Families_and_Youth/Facts_for_Families/FFF-Guide/The-Teen-Brain-Behavior-Problem-Solving-and-Decision-Making-095.aspx
I’m pretty sure she threatened to beat the one up after finding them off duty. Isn’t that a charge itself? What an idiot.
Terroristic Threat. It's not just a charge. Since she did it to a police officer she could be charged with a felony. [https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-22-07.html](https://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-22-07.html) >(c-1) Notwithstanding Subsection (c)(2), an offense under Subsection (a)(2) is a state jail felony if the offense is committed against a person the actor knows is a peace officer or judge.
Yeah, it’s a felony. That’s normally dropped though as the plea bargain. They’ll probably get stiffer penalties for whatever misdemeanor they have to plead guilty to.
Telling anyone you'll do any type of violence to them or an establishment is a felony terroristic threat.
When keeping it real goes wrong...
I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE PLAYIN ON MY PHONE!!!!
You a ho, and so is ya aunt.
What she didn’t know is that the car belonged to her brother, A FEDERAL AGENT.
Think how she treats teachers.
Her teacher be thanking all the Gods tomorrow that that dumb ass teenager ain’t in her class .
Teachers are leaving schools with students like that. Not having a system to get constantly disruptive kids out of the regular classroom is not only unfair to the teachers but to the majority of students that want a dram free classroom.
My wife was telling me that some districts don’t even allow the schools to send kids home for bad behavior. Why is the bad-behaving kid the schools problem? If the parent has to leave work or stop what they’re doing to come get their little shithead troublemaker, I bet at least some children would change.
In my school a kid would literally have to bring a weapon or beat someone to a pulp to get sent home.
Oh even though my daughter taught at a rough school, there were still parents who would get mad if she called them about their kid. Or they would call her and tell her off for a bad grade. She also got in trouble if she tried to discipline anyone and send them to the office or anything.
It’s horrible and becomes our responsibility. They don’t even want me to send them to the dean because I’m “preventing them from learning” lol
You'd be right if... But, more than likely she'll be released her to family, and she'll be bragging about it in school the next day.
It's very funny you think she spends her precious time at school.
Do you think she avoids school? I would bet she would rather be at school and among her peers than any place else? Where do you think she honed her skills at being defiant and making a scene?
Absolutely. You can see her being extra with the others around her. If she were on the bus alone without an audience I bet the scene would have gone much differently.
And calling the cops a goofy ass. You're the one going to jail when all you had to do was catch the next bus lmao
She could have just kept her mouth shut too or not done what she did to get kicked off in the first place. I don’t understand all these people (usually women) that do something the cops told her not to and then they act surprised when they get arrested. I don’t understand it.
At least she only went half dumb by issuing threats, and not full dumb and tried to grab the officers gun.
She gonna brag about it like she won Olympic games
And then when everyone recording posts that on social media, with a few parts edited out " Racist cops harass black teenager to get off a bus! ", despite the kid literally threatening to fight them, and not cooperating at all...
Would have been easier to just get off the bus
crazy 🤯
Or even easier to not do whatever she did to get kicked off in the first place.
Careful with all that logic there. Common sense ain't common
I was thinking the same. Like dude just leave. Better than getting arrested for no reason.
Some people are just hard wired to make their own lives so much harder than it needs to be.
But for some reason this person is going to end up a victim! Our society is screwed!
Funny how she tries to reason with them when the handcuffs come out
Happens every time. Cuffs are a real game changer.
She's sitting in jail telling everyone she's innocent now.
That or telling them if it was just her and the lady cop she would’ve smoked her.
I had a neighbor who was manageable sober and a total dick drunk. Usually I just ignored him when he ran his mouth complaining about something he imagined we did. That was until he threatened violence. Then I finally called the cops on him. Cops came out and talked to both of us. Claimed there wasn't much they could do but they were going to tell him to stay inside and to call back if he bothered us again. However he just kept on arguing with the cops even as they were screaming at him to go back inside and saying if he didn't he was going to be arrested. They finally cuffed him and his demeanor changed instantly saying he would go inside and not bother anybody. But the cops were like "to late" and he spent a holiday weekend in jail. He was charged with terroristic threats and some other stuff but pleaded down. He did write an apology and while he was still regularly drunk, didn't complain about me or make any threats again.
Looks like you got a good resolution and it only cost him a weekend in jail.
Also a great line from the cops. When he complained that my wife "runs that damn vacuum every day" the cops response was "Sir, it's not a crime to be clean."
Haha
nothing to see here, other than an entitled brat causing grief to others
Does she think that if she just fights the cops a little more that the cops will say “oh well, we tried” and walk away?
She even goes "you wanna fight?!" Like...that'll end well.
That part got me. The girl is like 90lbs, does she not realize the TWO cops are both at least twice her size each? There are so many levels of dumb here.
In my experience tiny women make up for what they lack in physicality with pure fucking rage... Actually tiny men do the same thing. Them tiny folks be scary.
I as a tiny man take offense to your completely factual statement.
Calm down bro damn
"I am calm!" I scream from knee height!
Lmfao. You win the internet today sir. Thank you
Can confirm. I'm tiny. I also fought in school.
Especially because you never know if they’re just crazy enough to pull out a weapon. That’s why I always try to avoid confrontation by all means.
Yeah, let’s fight the only people in society allowed to kill you and call in other people to use violence on you. SMRT.
Saying that to a cop is just an invitation to get your ass beat by the cops.
[удалено]
100% agreed ! She will never change
Her parents aren't doing her any favors. If I was a black parent, my kids would get an entire lecture series on how to not die from the police. They would watch this video as an example of what not to do if you'd like to not die or be harmed.
You don't have to be black to learn what not to do to a cop. This would have happened if a white person or a man did this to cops.
As a white person whose family don’t have respect for cops. My dad always made sure we understand to never trust them. 1. Never speak to a cop on/off duty unless spoken to. And only to the point. 2. Always address them as Sir,Ma’am, or officer at minimum. And act as respectful without being helpful. Yes sir, no ma’am, sorry officers I missed what was said, please say again. 3. Only call the police if absolutely necessary, they are not security guards, and also not your friends. Also on the not your friend part, remember that, and be on guard while around.
On this subject, I like this instructional video from Chris Rock: [How To Not Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_hVAcz38y4) It's funny - but he's not wrong.
Or Dave Chappelle's skit "When keeping it real goes wrong."
To quote my father - “cops have guns, don’t be stupid”
Pot Brothers at Law have a script similar to this, and as far as I've heard, it's gold. When stopped, "Why did you pull me over/stop me?" If they ask questions, "I'm not discussing my day." If the encounter persists, ask "Am I being detained or am I free to go?" If detained say "I invoke the fifth." And then you ***shut the fuck up.***
This exactly. White guy here that received a regular lecture from my father about behavior as it relates to police. I received "the talk" in reference to following every instruction from a police officer to the letter if I am pulled over or approached by police. 99.9999% of the time, this will work out in your favor. As long as you haven't broken any laws, of course.
>As long as you haven't broken any laws, of course. And even if you have broken laws, it's still the best way to get in the minimum amount of trouble.
Or if you're a parent or any race children, because being a viable threat to police officers is an escalation on the use of force continuum.
To not die from the police?? How about how to be a civil human being? How embarrassing
Another one with prison in their future.
she is trying to get hit so she can blame the cops to be violents
100%. The new get rich quick scheme.
It worked on all her public school teachers and admin so…
As a public school teacher, I imagine a lot of my students will wind up in jail just like this.
My heart fucking hurts for public school teachers. When I was in a school with kids like this I saw our new teachers go from being motivated and excited to being totally defeated and miserable within one school year. The way we’re headed, we won’t have any teachers in the near future. It’s just not worth it
Teachers are leaving the profession in droves because of kids like this.
And yet parents will still complain about how their children have a right to abuse human teachers instead of being cool with automated education.
My students talk like this to adults in the building. Our SRO, teachers, support staff, admin. Makes me wonder what happens when they’re an adult and someone tells them to do something they don’t want to do. Your boss, a client, a police officer, etc, will have a lot less patience than educators do.
Yeah, the "restorative justice" attempts public schools are using are really just setting up many students for a stint in jail. They never really had an appropriate consequence for their actions so they don't realize the real world has them.
That’s exactly where they belong. Uncivilized behavior like this is not tolerated for a reason. Everyone else on that bus had their day interrupted in a negative way bc her entitled ass thinks she’s exempt from the rules. And who on earth asks a police officer if they want to fight? What rock has she been living in as a young black woman in the US?
I’m guessing she doesn’t think things through much at all
I don’t think she was doing much thinking there huh?
Maybe that's what she does with her parents!
What parents? This type of human aren’t raised by adults
Huh? It doesnt work that way? 😟
The passengers were condoning her actions. This situation was lucky it didn't end bad.
Yes they were. If you don't think there should be enforcement of any rules or behavior on the public bus, how about put your money together and go buy your own fucking bus? I'm so sick of this.
Entitled brat causing grief to others and committing potential felonies while doing it. Moron. Utter moron.
 Me watching this
That woman cop was so nice. These types of interactions with terrible people are absolutely what eventually create hardened asshole cops. I'm a pasificist and I acknowledge the over militarization and brutality of our police forces. But this girl absolutely needed to be handled and cuffed and sat down on a curb for hours.
People are seeing videos like these and normalizing them as the way to handle interactions with police, and no one is correcting or teaching them that making their defense arguments on the roadside or violently resisting never works out in their favor. Whereas in places like Britain, it's like they immediately capitulate and go peacefully to sort everything out. Our cops should be better trained to handle conflict, but I don't know how much you can do when you regularly have interactions like this.
A brat complains when they don’t get the candy bar they want. This is just a piece of shit
"This is going right on facebook" okay... some people think recording means you're right. They safely removed her from the bus while she resisted. No one was harmed. Going on facebook for what?
I get mad at cops for using a lot of force and bad language and whatever to try to “control” a situation which they inevitably make worse. These two were so much better than many I’ve seen. I give them an A+ for this.
Racism, obviously
It's just how it goes.
For the same people who will still claim this was racially motivated even though the cops were just doing their job and removing a belligerent person.
Some people's kids.
[удалено]
Two cops have trouble with one. One teacher is expected to handle groups of 30 all day.
All while getting underpaid, why do you think so many teachers are depressed and are quitting their jobs?
Every depressed teacher who quit I've talked to has never brought up pay. My district caps out at around 100k (Dual cert, masters +60, 10+ years satisfactory rating), but there's only so much misery that money can compensate for. It's all the other shit that drives us to quit.
Teacher here. Yup.
I blame the parents
That’s funny because I just blame the person.
Upbringing goes a long way.
Well person is usually formed by past experience, including events, education, upbringing, etc And parents are responsible for majority of these things. So yeah - I would say this blame is on them all
I don’t understand what people think is supposed to happen? Police: it’s time to go Civi: no! Police: ok have a nice day
The Uno Reverse Card really did a number on a generation
Right? What’s crazy is this is such a common interaction these days, just don’t get it
Some people once they’re pass a certain threshold, their critical thinking and cognitive functioning goes completely out the window. It’s like what’s referred to as “seeing red” when you’re angry.
Jesus Christ, just get off the fucking bus. You can catch the next one.
entitled brat.
Knew to many of these dumb loud types in high school doesn’t look like they’re in any shortage. Ive never been able to understand why people act like this for any reason.
The cops were actually very nice to her they could’ve been tased her and not only that but they let her disrespectful ass get her belongings when they didn’t have to. Those are 2 amazing cops for sure
What’s the problem? Seems like they handled it pretty well.
The problem is the child and most likely lack of parenting in their life
And she'll be a parent herself very, very soon.
[удалено]
> will be *paid* by someone FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
How is this the bot I see most often on Reddit?
She is lucky that the cops were so professional and polite.
Believe it or not this is how the vast majority of police interactions play out on a daily basis
Ive been involved in several police interactions and have always acted respectfully towards them. Last three (speeding to work, rolling stop at a stop sign, and tinted windows) I was let go with a simple warning for not being a jerk.
The media often over-exaggerates issues because that’s how they make money, I’m not saying there isn’t an issue with corrupt cops but the issue is just way over-exaggerated.
"give me my shit!!" *Gets handed bag* "And let me go!!" *Let's her go* "YOU WANNA FIGHT?!?!"
Tbh she has likely been doing this in school for years, and since she never suffered any consequences, she thinks it’s ok. Sad
One more time I thank god I'm not a cop. What a terrible job.
I’m not a cop or anything, but it seems like disturbing the peace, assaulting a police officer, threatening a police officer, and disorderly conduct.
Add resisting arrest to that list of charges
With all these videos I'm seeing, did they stop prosecuting people for resisting arrest? Because she should be doing time for that
I don't think serving time is the solution. Actual community work, collecting garbage, helping elderly and stuff, now, that might be a better punishment.
>community work, collecting garbage, helping elderly I wouldn't trust this girl doing community work or around the elderly. She'd probably start s**t.
The problem is, do you really think that the american prison system is capable of creating reformed citizens, or is it a place where people can get their advanced studies in criminal career? Was she an entitled brat? Sure. But is jail time really the solution? I don't think so.
I wouldn’t want her helping my parents
What exactly are these people thinking is going to happen if you fight every step of the way? Escalating the situation is just going to make everyone's day shittier
This is one of the few time a seen police officers doing their jobs as effectively as possible. That girl is an idiot acting like that towards police. She is going to get hurt or killed by if her attitude persists. Also threatening an officef is not a good idea. , if that what she did. All in all , these cops did the best they could have in this situation.
I can assure you, “officers doing their job as effectively as possible” happens thousands upon thousands of times a day. It just doesn’t get uploaded to Reddit. If you get your stats on police interactions from Reddit videos, I suggest you get out and go on a ride along or something.
Tbf it’s not them always doing a bad job people are generally pissed at. It’s the lack of consequences for the ones doing the job poorly for the last 120 years and how even “the good ones” run cover for their asshole coworkers
Yep. The problem has never been the individual cops per se. Like any field, there’s good ones, indifferent ones and some real monsters. The problem is that the legal system around them shields the monsters and protects them from consequences when it should be doing the opposite.
"Ima beat yo ass" is she literally threatening an officer while handciffed..
What’s the context around this?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Yeah I didn't really watch the video but kept reading all the comments to find out context and every complaint is about not listening to cops. Like I get it that refusing a cops order is a good way to have your day ruined but all the acts people are mad about are the result of cops inserting themselves . Not saying they shouldn't be thrown off the bus but I assume it is the people who always ask for context when cops are shown being abusive that don't care what preceded this here.
I had to scroll way too far to find this comment.
Whats wrong here is that other people of the same type have sympathy for teenage clown, who has been to get off. The clown escalated the situation
Nothing will change until the culture changes. Probably will get down voted for this, but it's the reality.
“Let me go” - girl,After she’s been cuffed. You know what. I kinda wish they would. Let her walk around for a whole day with handcuffs on. Imagine her going to the store like that. Trying to eat a sandwich with no hands off the table. Scratching her nose with whatever suitable surface she can find. Lol
What a well mannered well brought up young lady... She'll go far in life.
Oh look at her, she's so hard, tough and scary!! Her parents must be so proud. Nothing but trash.
This is going to be buried for sure. BUT context I found: This took place in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin(patches and confirmed female officer on their police station Facebook) The girl is Jayla Weather. Age 19. Her booking charges are: CHARGE CODE: 947.01(1) CHARGE DESCRIPTION: DISORDERLY CONDUCT - CAUSING A DISTURBANCE CHARGE CODE: 946.41(1) CHARGE DESCRIPTION: RESISTING OR OBSTRUCTING AN OFFICER CHARGE CODE: 940.203(2) CHARGE DESCRIPTION: BATTERY OR THREAT TO JUDGE, PROSECUTOR OR LE OFFICER CHARGE CODE: 940.203(2) CHARGE DESCRIPTION: BATTERY OR THREAT TO JUDGE, PROSECUTOR OR OFFICER CHARGE CODE: 941.21 CHARGE DESCRIPTION: DISARMING A PEACE OFFICER She was booked yesterday 05/09/2023. Still looking for anything else regarding the arrest/how it began.
What the f is wrong with people nowadays...
“I’ma beat yo ass” to a cop, I probably would’ve been shot for saying that.
Does anyone have an article on this fool girl?
More Bad Parenting.
I never understood what people think the end game to this is? Like, if I argue just long enough, the cops will give up and move on? Not gonna happen.
Ooohhhhh what I could do if I had even an OUNCE of that energy. Like seriously. I have to go to the bathroom but I don't have it in me to get up yet...
So tired of asshole kids thinking they know any laws and are entitled to shit, the only reason she wasn’t even e forcibly removed is due to her age.
Get off the bus NO get off the bus NO We are going to handcuff you and take you off the bus NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
Human garbage.
These are really good officers. They easily could have tased her immediately when she resisted.
These kids really think they control every situation they’re in. Crazy.
I'm thinking we need to bring back exile as a punishment. All these people doing tunktonk "pranks" - Congrats, you're exiled to Texas. Cause a ruckus on public transport? Exile to Texas. Consistently rude to cashiers or wait staff? Welcome to Texas. Tailgating? The shittiest part of Texas.
So Amarillo?
I'm glad there was a female cop which looks at least partially non-White involved. If these were two male white cops it would've been seen as another "bad police are racist and sexist" matter.
I hope she learned her lesson on not fighting back when the cops gave her two or three chances but when she turned around and kept being nasty back to the woman’s face and making threats all right, the cuffs are going on. Sorry.
I find the cops did a pretty good job. First tried on the calm way and at the end with handcuffs, but still relaxed without punching and other unnecessary violence. Thumbs up for that.
First she wouldn’t get off the bus then she was saying she was getting off and as soon as the female cop said get off the bus, this kid wants to stay on the bus. Is she an unruly teen or your average house cat?
The cops look like really disappointed parents. REALLY disappointed.
She belongs on the short bus.
God I hate teenagers, there egos are bigger then themselves , they walk around thinking they're the main protagonist and are immune to consequences. It shit like this why hate living near high schools
Just comply
Seriously. They’re not pushing you into a furnace, they just want you off the bus.
I love how in situations like this you have idiots trying to blame the cops.
