A man who’s so angry and emotionally unstable that he would point a gun at a CHILD and her mother is the last person who should be trusted with one.
Not even
literally !!
He got no dam.bussiness with gun let alone being a police officer
RIGHT?!!!!!
Corruption
What a coward cop, attacking an innocent pregnant woman, he should be in jail.
i just tried googling it, i didn't see anything about criminal charges being brought against him. initially the review board recommended 240 hours of unpaid suspension but the chief ended up terminating him. the family got 475k settlement.
glad he got terminated. dude didn't handle this situation well at all
@@brimmed glad to hear this...
Should be in the hardest prison there is that hate creeps like those cops
@@brimmed i think they're owed way more than that. the terror. the fact it could've been damage with her pregnancy. the fear in the children. the threats. smh
All of this over a what, 2 dollar doll?
ALL of those cops should be fired.
24 years on the job? Imagine what this unstable cop was doing before cameras were everywhere!!
Jesus Christ the treatment of that woman is disgusting! That officer swearing was so intense, he should NEVER be allowed to be an officer again.
He should never be allowed to carry a gun..
he made the situation from moderate to worse wuth his toddler trauma. definitely one of those people that enjoys controlling others
If had fired his weapon that clown would have said he feared for his life. Shows he's not fit to be a police officer.
At best he is unprofessional and attempts to escalate these situations. At worse he’s a trigger happy racist. Either way he has no business wearing a badge.
Publicly execute that cop
"I'm going to f*king put a cap right in your f*king head" - Police officer to a pregnant woman infront of her kids for theft under a dollar... I'm actually speechless
that made me literally sick to my stomach
@@jynxwolfe Now, i've seen some things. But i didn't know the world was so fallen an officer could even consider to shoot a pregnant woman, pathetic, disgusting.
What does that mean btw?
If you are wondering, I'm not American and English is my 3rd language. Lol
@@shire69420 the police officer is saying he is going to use his gun to shoot the pregnant woman in the head
'murica
Update November 2021: officer has been DENIED his appeal to be rehired with back pay and attorney fees. He had been with the department for 24 years. They need to institute a regulation that in order to continue to be employed by any police department, each officer must undergo a psych test once per year.
Psych tests are unfortunately quite easy to fake or lie through, especially by police who have detailed knowledge of exactly what the questions will be and what red flags are being looked for. Psych tests are not even close to a reliable indicator of psychological fitness for the police profession - as evidenced by the sheer amount of sociopaths that breeze through the cadet training psych test in their training year.
@@hhorror Good Point! But there still needs to be a detailed process of some sort they should go through once per year that DOESN’T INCLUDE anyone from their departments, unions or any sister institutions. Should be a completely unbiased group that has no little to no advanced knowledge of these police men and women. Too many innocent lives have been lost by insecure, inexperienced cops with a chip on their shoulder.
That won't work.. cops lie and if they know their job is on the line they will lie like never before!! An evaluation won't fix what's wrong... Qualified immunity is the big problem..
it wasn't just one cop. All other cop who did nothing to stop the "bad" cop are to be blamed.
I think that we need to train police officers for more than six months.
How can you ask a mother to let go of her child in a stressful situation like that? She's trying to protect her baby
Also, 12 officers for a dollar store doll theft? This department has too many officers who have nothing better to do, huh
Oh no !!! You let the kids in the car and you get out, with your hands up and your mouth shut.
And that all grown up toddler can walk ? Really ? All right then, put her gently on the ground and comply with the orders.
I don't understand why giving the police so much troubles when they hold at gun point.
Those police officers only care about them (Thanks God ! ) So why dragging the kids into this ?
@@oceaneo4603 I would happily watch you getting out of the car with your mouth shut, just to get arrested while some other cop takes your 1 and 4 year old kids from the car and kidnaps them in front of you, taking them to social services. Of course, do not pretend for anyone else to protect you, your family or your rights if you're not willing to do the same for others.
@@oceaneo4603 easier to comply when you have white skin .

why
Welcome to America
The United States of Systematic Paranoia.
@@somewhereupthere785 Force of habit.
Immigrants have been flocking to The USA for over 2 centuries. That happens when 1 is considered the Country of Democracy, A Constitution that guarantees freedom & equality for all yet still stumbles even today to actually hold up to such things, as the George Floyd Incident can attest to, among other government abuses of authority.
If you're white caucasian, such immigrants get it much easier compared to people of color.
Hope that answers your question.
Why is it police can curse and swear but if citizens do it, it’s all of a sudden an “offence”
Yepp
@Vishya KneWDat @Rick Clark is referring to the fact that the cops would likely charge you with disturbing the peace. I've seen many videos where police do just that for either cursing or raising your voice to a cop.
because they are the "authority". they can do whatever the f*ck they want with minimal consequence. That's why there are too many rebels around the world because of these abusive authorities
Oh no I find it more offensive when cops do it as I hold them tp a hire standard.
@Vishya KneWDat and then the bailiff started clapping his hands and the judge and the da and the stenographer and the
as if they're catching a terrorist. unprofessional cops!
Biggest over reaction for a suspected shoplifting call ever.
That kind of stress could cause her to lose the baby, he should be put in jail for this
Anthony Slaga Yes. These cops seem to hate criminals. Go figure.
Andrew Tidey not their problem parent your kids right and teach them not to steal or why bother be a parent and to say she’s pregnant to another child really? Child support should take her kids and teach them right and then hand them over when they are taught correct.
Any updates on parents and the kids, is it still on going?
@@believeinhope1 I think it's still on going. The officer actually injured the one year old when he tried to grab her. All trash officers that should be fired
The only justice to cops will come from a bullet. There will never be justice through the courts with cops.
All this over a doll?
99 cent doll
@@brokenking5044 Well, it was a barbie - allegedly.
You can't trust the validity of a story if a you only get one source (this video) Look around and you will see that it's not all over a doll. The whole family was shoplifting and the store saw them shoplifting which is why they called the cops. The father was seen throwing merchandise out the window prior to being pulled over.
@@sethbob5742 they already confirmed the only thing stolen was the doll
Seth Brooks And to think that shoplifting requires ANYTHING like this. The cops should be terrorised.
The cops really handled that very unprofessionally.
Surprised he didn't yell "She's got a gun!!" She's very fortunate she's still alive.
That cop is sick in the head. And those cops who didn't stop him are just as bad.
The level of trauma a situation like that can bring alone.
Are you trying to argue??? If they are sick, JUST LEAVE THE POLICE FORCE
@@vutsxx Did you mean "leave the police force alone"?
Because I do not work for the police, so I'm unable to "leave the police force".
And no, I'm not trying to argue. Just voicing my opinion in a comments section.
I don't see how saying that pointing a gun at a pregnant woman is a disgusting thing to do. Is me starting an argument
@@cheatyoutuber285 I think the only people who are replying to my comment have misread it.
I said the cop is sick In the head. The other cops did nothing to stop him.
I'm in agreement with what you're saying. The people were mistreated extremely.
@@justsomeone64 You are correct and there is no argument.
@@JoeMama-1diot Good good 👍👍
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what happens in a country where cops require less training than a hairstylist. The fact that she had a f**king baby and they tried to rip it from her arms just makes it even more disgusting 😡
No, this happens in a country before its origin that has treated a particular group as less than human!
That had nothing to do with training, it has to do with hiring criteria. Those were thugs and bullies who have no business being police.
@@davebauer3756 This does have to do with training. In other countries it takes an average of 2 years of training to become a cop. Even then for an American standard, how is it that EMS/Fire department have little to no problems unlike the police when it comes to service? They time to time get in the line of fire (friends from EMS) and yet they have better tolerance and control unlike their police peers.
Timmy was a good kid growing up, Timmy was bullied in school.. Timmy became a cop so he could shoot people... Timmy
@@davebauer3756 it has a lot to do with training 👈 lack of training 👈
Thugs. SMH. Anyone with all that anger and emotion over a non felony, non hostile situation needs to lose their badge.
This is not what good Police do.
No such thing as a “good” cop.
So Sickening! If anyone else pointed guns at kids neighbors and such they would be in Jail facing multiple Assault and firearm charges, verbal assault and threats with a deadly weapon. So what he lost his JOB should have lost his Pension too. Unstable Canon needs Anger Management and Counseling.
there's no such thing as good police. good cops are driven off police departments since they are not willing to violate everyone's rights.
Lose their badge is just for starters. Then arrest and charge them.
Do you know how many IQ test a person has to fail to become a police orificer ......... your IQ is 35 .... Good news you in.
The police officer who was asking the female to put the child down had no empathy or sympathy for that baby. She is a baby for God's sake. She can't walk. To be mean and abusive to parents at one point is explainable but to a months-old baby is barbaric and inhuman.
Why do they scream like that, to non violent situations. It makes matters worst
Yeah, I know....whatever happened to "deescalation"? And all this freaking out because a small child took a doll? None of those cops is fit to be in law enforcement.
Imagine this scenario... Police hurridly arrive, detain family calmly, go into store and investigate situation, possibly review cameras, (if available) after investigating go back outside and inform adults why they were called.
How would this have played it self out had it been a white family.
@@user-mr7fu8pi2l why didn't they just do that
It's so the 'perp' gets confused and makes a 'mistake' which the policy enforcer feels threatened and so unload their weapon into the innocent person.
@@deplorablepatriot8697 It was literally just a doll. Also, maybe you shouldn't call people 'low IQ morons' with English that bad.
If this guy isn't fired that department will have zero credibility.
You expect anything from US cops that resembles ownership of their own?
This was a couple years ago, did they fire them?
When do cops care about credibility?
They don't care about their credibility
I know u r right. The only thing that will stop them is when enough of them go to jail.
I feel bad for anyone who lives in the same house as anyone as angry as that. I can't imagine that's a happy home.
I’m honestly disgusted that some people think that just because they’re cops have the right to threaten a pregnant women and say that they will kill her and to raise her hands even thought multiple times she said she was holding a child
The Cop was extremely unprofessional. This will likely lead the children to fear and hate the police.
I know most of my demographic does lol
We should hate police.
And become thugs
@@Mosphee7 you again i see you everywhere glad we have the same fyp😎
This has led me to hate and fear the police. Let alone the poor kids who experienced it
" get your hands up or I'm going to cap you one right in the head." Exclellent police work
@Audriano Gotyè Jr. its word for word
@Audriano Gotyè Jr. He still said he would shoot them so an exact quote isn't needed.
At 0:20... "I'm going to f*cking put a cap right in your f*cking head!"
@Audi.B Audi.B This comment is milder than what he _actually_ said. He said, "I'm going to f*cking put a cap right in your f*cking head!" at 0:20
@Audi.B Audi.B l blame your confusion on your name man!
OMG that cops is out of control trying to snatch a baby from its moms arms. Bless you guy filming telling him to calm down. You need an award!
This is horrifying. Heartbreaking. I hope these people got their payout. Just watching is traumatizing. I can't even imagine the fear and trauma of living through it.
Seriously the dollar store didn’t say anything to the parents about the doll, but instead called the police and almost cost this couple their lives. Seriously sad.
I would never be seen in that establishment again if I knew the people working there did that to me. $hitty people everywhere.
The usual way to handle a shoplifter, is to take them to the back office to discuss the matter. If they agree to make restitution, for instance, then there's no need to involve the police. The store owners just wanted their "pound of flesh", SHAMEFULL !
@@jeromebreeding3302 idk where I used to work, you're not supposed to confront the shoplifters no matter their age. We would call security. The employee was probably just following protocol
@@queenthoria7483 Security doesn’t mean police no? They don’t have they own security personnel so they have to involve police for such petty matter?
@@queenthoria7483 yup, you dont confront them ever. Just let them do it and call the police afterwards. That's what I was told as well when I worked retail
For a woman with a child that allegedly took a doll without paying money these polices had to act like they're confronting a mass murderer or a terrorist or something. Man these people need to relax and calm down.
they get trained one way lol
They are trained to open fire only it seems.
@@Techie1224 disgusting behaviour
They overreacted. Or they just coward, super coward towards other helpless human being.
This low class cops act like they are superior
or they were like that because the lady was black (as in, they were being psychopathic racists)
Shoplifting is never handled that way in other countries. They need to evaluate the differences between potential crimes and the response to this. This is absolutely crazy!
Thats because those countries are white countries.
Actually in some countries they chop your hands off if you steal!
"To protect and serve"... right?
I'm confused!!!
And they wonder why cops keep getting shot, people are tired of this abuse!
Still in disbelief that the store employees saw a 4 year old "steal" a $1 toy and decided that calling the police was more appropriate than politely approaching the parents about it 🤦🏼♀️
@Mr B Store Employees Must Be Racist Or So
Well it's considered racist to even confront black people about their wrongdoings now if you're white. This is what the black community asked for...
@@yummyfunnybunny5167 you did not just say they asked for this or that people of colour ask for these types of situations. That’s messed up. And it’s not considered racist to confront PEOPLE for their wrongdoings. It is racist to ACCUSE people of something based on their appearance, especially the colour of their skin.
@@Que_Arun store owner saw sketchy stuff on that family and most likely saw the footage thru security cam. They called the police for theft. $1 is still a theft.
@@triparadox.c it's a theft but they surely can see the kid took the toy and not the parents. I don't think a toddler need to be arrested just because a $1 toy got stolen.
Also from what the police acted it seems like the one who reported it probably omitted a lot of things or blown it out of the proportion. The police even asked if the cars is theirs, why asking that just because a $1 doll got stolen??
The police are just too quick to make a judgement and acted harshly, if they check the cam footage they should know if the family need to be actually arrested or just checked.
That cop was extremely angry and out of control and then yelled “Give me your baby!”. No one in their right mind would hand that man a baby. Uniform or not.
I wouldn’t give that man my dog.
The only baby I'd of gave him sits on my hip
Especially one that's yelling at you with a gun
Threatening to kill you.
An then says give me your baby??
@John Smith okay, you’re reaching 😂
Right. I just know hebwould have threw it to the floor as an excuse to shoot the mother. He likely would have went home after had intimacy with his wife and high fives his kids. All in a days work.
Sick ! Cop needs to be arrested!
The other cops not doing anything to de-escalate the situation!
Horrible policing!!
Shame!
Arested for what? The officers responded accordingly.
Just imagine the trauma for that pregnant mommy and family! I hope they get all the money they ask for!
A police department is going to investigate itself...oh boy I'm sure something will be accomplished.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😣😣😣😣😣😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤
You have internal Affairs which is the very elite unit of every department.its soo elite until they are officers that you don’t even know are About this unit.
Very true. There was an incident in Mesa involving Mesa PD and Mr. Robert Johnson last August that was caught on surveillance camera and made national headlines. Mesa PD did their own internal investigation, which was reviewed by a neighboring PD (Scottsdale PD), and it found that the cops were "legally justified" in its use of force. These cops all lie and protect one another. Mesa and Scottsdale PD are two of the most corrupt PD's in Arizona and possibly the entire nation. When there's an "internal investigation", you can be sure that nothing will change.
Same as with the church investigating itself about the gazillion cases of child abuse amongst its priests.
Conveniently left out of this video is the fact that the man being arrested did not pull over the vehicle right away, threw stolen merchandise out the window after leaving the store, dropped off a passenger who had warrants for her arrest (and was later arrested), and less than a year ago he was arrested for assaulting several police officers and resisting arrest. Perhaps the officers responded this way because of the actions of the perpetrator and not the color of his skin?
Phoenix police ended up paying out $475,000 to the Ames family. Once again, we as the taxpayers pay for the mistakes of our poorly trained and poorly qualified police.
This people deserved every penny of compensation and then some. What terrible police actions.
Why doesn't it come out of pig pensions and salaries
Good. A good lesson for them to train their police
The police should have been charged and had the money taken out of their pensions. The only way to keep police from doing this over and over again is to give them real consequences for their actions.
Won't stop until you make the cops personally liable
When will they be arrested and held accountable for the fear and PTSD they are causing. He really wanted her to put her baby on the ground. Endangering the child’s life. Glass anything could be on the ground & if baby puts it in their mouth…smh; it’s insane. Where is the ACCOUNTABILITY?
l just saw this video, l hope they won their law suit and those offices were dismissed! This is unbelievable, and heartbreaking not just for the adults but for the child and or children that were traumatized.
He doesn't NOT need to use the "F" word. Especially with children there. This was a terrible approach! OMG! All this over a stolen doll. Pitiful
Especially the fact that he had his gun out, Not his taser.
So many allegations before witnesses and recordings were a thing_ makes you wonder😔
So with guns drawn at both parents and threatening to shoot them both, grabbing and injuring the baby in the mother's arms isn't that bad, as long as you watch your language?.... okay....
A 1 dollar doll... let's not forget that. I hope this incident pays for those kids college and a new house for mommy and the officers are actually disciplined.
@Mark Davis u get outta here u police brutality supporter.
Conflicting orders, you can't have your hands up and open a car door simultaneously holding a baby. These officers escalated a minor crime and MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE both criminally and financially.
YES!!!
The captain was defending the officer trying to justify his actions. There is no justification for how he escalated it to a deadly encounter in a parking lot and a car full of kids. He’s swearing at her she’s trying to tell him she is holding a baby and he’s tell her that he’ll kill her if she doesn’t comply. I can see why BLM are trying to bring this problem to the attention of all Americans. How many die and there is no bystander to show the abuse.
But even if you don't have a baby, how are You going to Open the door while keeping your hands up? I don't understand that You might get shot while opening the door because You didn't have your hands up. I just don't get that
@@emmiemust6033 it's done purposely to give them an excuse to shoot people for non compliance
Exactly.
None of these officers should wear a badge.
I bet that 4 year-old child regret it after being berated by a cop and her mom and also you shouldn't treat a pregnant woman like that.
Man..this level of threat, violence and tension, I could hardly breathe while watching this, this is unknown to us living in EU, pulling out guns and threatening to take someone's life over shoplifting?
What ever happened to talking?
see my comment above...
This is insane. I can't comprehend how ridiculous the US is. Why would anyone want to be there?!
well its racist kkks in uniforms, police in USA are corrupt
Tamar right if trump wins in November I’m immigrating to Canada
Oh.. they talk. You heard it.. All threats, humiliation, subjugation, domination, anger, profanity, hatred and scorn.. They'll claim its a technique they are trained in to gain compliance from "the suspect".. God bless America, because apparently if he dont, they'll shoot him too..

There is no question who the enemy is.
This whole scene is horrifying. That pregnant woman could so easily been murdered by that cop in front of her other children all that violence and disgusr

@@Nickpeters-ip5jl wow man. It doesn’t matter what the person was doing. It’s called deescalating. Or are you suggesting that cops get to treat every person they come across differently according to what crimes they have committed?
@@Nickpeters-ip5jl cops will do anything in their power to show us that they have rights over us. When in reality they are public servants.
Cops are without excuse...cops should be trained to deescalate situation. The loud cop was on a major power trip. What were they supposed to do when they couldn't open the door. She could have been shot just because she couldn't open the door.
They may have been at fault, they may have been stealing. Don't know....but that's not how you deal with petty theft. Deal with that matter if needed....but doesn't take threats of shooting and harming innocent children and pregnant women. They were not a threat to you. No excuse whatsoever for this type of behavior by cops, and certainly doesn't take 12 cops to subdue them.
Just watching this makes me have chills. I would've fainted or something.
Umm, Dollar store sells one dollar items, right? So the toddler took a one dollar item without her parents' knowledge-a doll- and in response Phoenix Arizona Police threatened them and pulled guns on the family. Protecting the rights of the store owners for one dollar. Major PTSD for the family.
The whole Department needs to be retrained and taught deescalation skills.
disgusting. and he actually tried taking her child out of her hands. threatening to shoot them in the head. wow
Sad to think that in their heads, these officers thought "Yep, the adequate response to a girl taking a doll is shooting her pregnant mom."
It's disgusting and scary that ONE cop acted in the manner that he did, but it's absolutely terrifying that several more joined him in the blink of an eye. There was no discussion, no questioning if that was the right way to handle the situation and they backed him up like he was savin' babies and little old ladies from monsters. To me it's like alternate universe kinda thinking.
Lol sorry to laugh but those thoughts are so extreme they’re already ridiculous and funny. Shooting parents because their kids did something wrong 🤪
Like, well, as long as the parents are black I guess it makes sense. 🤪

True. The most sad part was when I realized the parents were black though- if this was a white pregnant mom who was a victim of police insanity and bad corporate policy, then liberal NowThis would not have bothered showing the video. = /
Everybody’s talking about the crappy cop but no one is talking about how the other ones stood around and didn’t call him out. Silence is just as bad!

There's something seriously wrong in the heads of those cops.
My cousin is a cop he had a called on a Hispanic lady that stole a pair of shoes for her child. He talked to the lady and went in the store and bought the shoes for the lady, this is what a real man does.
How dare your cousin have a humane response. In the new narrative your cousin maybe terminated for such a understanding and compassionate deed.
We need more cops like him!
I think he needs more training
@Steven Hopkins Real men also don’t threaten pregnant women by saying they are going to cap them. What kind of logic is that? He can take of his family and help another family out.
@Steven Hopkins wrong. Real men care. Period. Doesn't matter who's child it is.
Don't be surprised when the "punishment" the officers get is extra vacation days, aka, paid leave

Threatening to shoot them over a toy doll from the dollar store. So you're ready to kill a father in front of his tender age children for a toy that probably costs a buck. We're not gonna even mention you put your hands on a pregnant woman and tried to forcibly take her child from her arms.
First off I hope his sorry a$$ was fired immediately nvm mind paid leave while they "investigate " and the other law enforcement officers on scene should also be reprimanded for not removing this jerk from the situation and for allowing him to one assault the husband because you can tell me how he cuffed the man was anything but assault and 2 allowing him to then assault the wife and the child she was holding. This "cop" should never be allowed to work in law enforcement again and should be charged with several offenses himself.
WOW just WOW!!!
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING SCREAMING LIKE THAT OVER A TODDLER THAT STOLE WITHOUT HER PARENTS KNOWING! FIRE THESE OFFICERS AND SHAME THEM. They think wearing a badge makes them superior to the rest of us.
@Purplekitty81 ingram exactly. i didnt read the title and I thought there was a shootout
The captions during the video are not accurate. This is a propaganda piece that does not tell the actual story but instead lies to get the people who view it to be angry. Clearly it's working
@@sethbob5742 the police got called to shop lifting and pulls a gun on a car full of kids. What friends turn up truck did you fall from. If that was your wife and kid tell me would you be saying that bull.
@@waynerobinson7057 you are putting way too much faith in this video. The captain's doing the video are not accurate. The events leading up to the video are very significant in how and why the police officers reacted the way that they did. This has nothing to do with stealing a doll and everything to do with getting in a car chase, and refusing to show your hands after the car chase concludes. If you were sitting in a vehicle of course you can stick your hands out the window even if there is a baby in your lap. Secondly, Isn't that called child endangerment!? Riding in a vehicle and getting a police chase with the kid riding on someone's lap instead of being in a car seat. But let's just overlook this because skin color
@@sethbob5742 having said that: one cop says get out of the car or I will shoot you. An other (or maybe a the same one) says hands up or I will shoot you. Which action does get you not killed? Police have to give you a chance to survive an encounter with them. This is not the case if you give contradicting orders, and either order is issued with the threat of immediate death.
There’s NO need to cuss at someone like a sailor, especially in front of kids! And there’s was NO reason to rough these poor people up either!
There was no need to pull a gun either. If they were white I guarantee it would not have escalated to that level.
those kids are gonna remember this for the rest of their lives and probably be scared of cops
They were escalating the situation because that day, they just felt like shooting someone, it seems.
I cant believe how police have no professionalism or standard way to conduct themselves in america, are they taught anything about diffusing situations, all they do is escalate and then attack
“Like a sailor” bro that’s so funny
This is just shameful, and as a mother who lives in Phoenix, I am disgusted. I can't imagine how traumatized those kids are, let alone all the stress that put on the pregnant mother. Told the dad to spread his feet, then did it for him, but that wide? That was excessive. Horrible look for PPD
All that for a small theft. Wow. That’s some disgusting police brutality.
That behavior, by the cops, is NOT “ misconduct.” That conduct is CRIMINAL!
More like psychotic.
@@tomgaylord1601 Naw it's accepted and the absolute Norm in the system of white supremacy, these people in their offspring deserve everything that's coming to them.
dude, that literally means the exact same thing
@@LaughgreatYT it is a sugar coating for the cops criminal conduct!
This family was completely cooperative. Honestly I don’t blame mom at all for yelling back, plus mad respect for the dad !!! I know he used all his strength and faith to help/get his family through this day together- I hope I would keep myself faith filled. Prayers for this family.
THEY SHOULD LOOSE THEIR JOB AND NEVER BE ABLE TO hold it again
They should be fired and go to jail. This was straight up abuse of power and assault.
lose*
the adult stole from the store and resisted arrest.leading the police on a chase, trowing the shoplifted items that the adult stole out the window during the chase. but the media wont tell you that
@@bart4186 the adult stole nothing... how dare you sit up here and accuse them of doing that! The store called the police because the child accidentally, stole a 99 cent doll.
Random Black Person who cares stealing is stealing the mother helped
Every officer in this video needs to be charged and locked up
This is so much worse than I realized.
So police are investigating police? They all need to be fired!! This was absolutely BEYOND unacceptable!!
@DaLagga Lol im British this would never happen in Britain seems to me that a majority of your cops are just power hungry give them a gun think they control everybody... Clip might be heavily edited but with the current situation with American police and their use of force, you really want to make that assumption?
@DaLagga I don't know what kind of mental gymnastics you guys do to convince yourselves any of this is ok in any scenario. A cop should be descalating the situation, not screaming their hearts out in any scenario except if the guy is running away or is thinking about shooting/hurting someone. The cop should have the calmest voice
DaLagga Sure. An angry cop is threatening to shoot a mum in front of her toddler because she can’t put both hands up without putting said toddler on scorching hot concrete, and is cursing and swearing at the father when he’s already complying, but OBVIOUSLY the family are in the wrong bc they’re black 🙄
Edit: Also isn’t one of the big rules of gun safety that you shouldn’t point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot it? Why the heck is he doing that to a woman with a toddler in her arms? Someone who’s super unlikely to be any threat to him?
!@DaLagga STFU a$$hole!!
@DaLagga lol he's a troll guys. Pay him no mind.
Police wonder why people don't trust or respect them. Where's the professionalism at. This isn't bad or lack of training. No threatening situation just bad police.
Brutal cop will probably be fired, and immediately hired elsewhere. Someone who behaves like that has no business dealing with the public, let alone carrying a weapon. Hope he is forced to work 35 hours/ week in a prison. They’ll readjust his attitude.
These guys were doing a military-style swat on a black family over a ten dollar toy.
This made me physically ill watching this unfold....
Are you even watching the same video. He's deliberately giving her conflicting commands... Get your hands up. Get out of the car she has to open the door handle with her hands so how can she do it with her hands up. Throw in the fact that the door is stuck already and doesn't open? Are you even paying attention?
@@fivelittlemonkees you can still get shot if you follow the commands. 1 guy was shot when the cop asked him for his driver license. So like many of men the guy had his wallet in his back pocket. When he reached for his wallet the cop shots him. So any time a gun is pointed at you things can go wrong. Come on especially for a F… toy 🤦♂️
@@URFTBOUND4LIFE
This was a Dollar Store.
That one cop should be in jail. I just watched a cop attack a pregnant woman.
good way to make sure that 4 year old never feels comfortable or safe going to police if they are in danger.
12 cops for a shoplifting call. And they didn't even ask questions before pulling out guns, 12 cops, screaming and yelling f or no reason. Blm.
I understand that POC are targeted at a disgustingly more frequent rate than whites. But it shouldn't matter what color they are for us to be outraged by the police response(also read as excessive police response or excessive force or police brutality). I've got to stop here because I'm so overwhelmed by these police tactics here and the rant I feel surging up. The audio of this video is replaying on loop in my head, just as a trauma, and I can only imagine in horror and disgust how traumatized the children and their parents were. You can hear the fear and frustrated helplessness of the bystanders as they watch this play out, knowing that anything they do or say will only escalate what is already at a hair trigger point, but how can you simply witness this without doing anything?
@@WonderingWildWanderingRose yes you are right, but I find im compelled to say something, being a freedom loving American, a descendent of a lieutenant in the continental army under Washington, I understand that denial of equal treatment to one group means no one gets equal treatment. Same as freedom. I might not agree in burning old glory, but I will fight for right to do so. Because a flag or even a country isn't worth fighting over, its freedom , the idea that all people are created equal , and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. This is what is worth fighting and dying for. This what an American patriot stands for, without these, its just a piece of land with a piece of cloth.
I don't understand the reason for guns in this situation, I mean the woman had a baby in her hands!🗣️
@Sophie Scholl So your suggesting the baby was a weapon? Did they really need guns though? Who in their right mind would threaten a pregnant woman who is not armed with a fatal weapon
@Sophie Scholl all cops are not bad but this was uncalled for.
@Sophie Scholl Imagine if that woman was you.. I bet you would have did the same thing
@@hurdlegod4933 have done*
I didn't either. But then I saw it was a black mother and then I realized racism is the only factor that explains this power trip and police brutality. I always thought the US was a great place to visit, but I don't think I ever want to go there if those lunatic right wing racists are given guns and even law enforcement jobs, despite having no respect for the rights of half the population.
Community policing at it's best. Over aggressive mouth breathing bullies.
WOW that was definitely an unhinged cop I hope he was fired
These cops sound dam scared of a lady and her kids, and that one coward acts like a big bully. Shame they can't recruit better people.
It's the racism. They're terrified of black people.
@@minxywaters1767 Which is we need to protest against those policeman to get them all kicked out. It makes the good police look bad
@@minxywaters1767 racism has nothing to do with it there cowards plain and simple you take the badge off them and see what they become NOTHING thats why they act like that they beleive there above everyone else dont worry one day karma always come around maybe not for them but for there children and there children's children they will suffer in one way or another
@@rceravolojnr Racism plays into the cowardice man, The guy was basically doing the splits with his face pressed up against the car calling him sir and the officer still says he's not complying 😂, Hes still scared even while displaying that amount of dominance
They only recruit racists
In case anyone wants to know the outcome. “The Phoenix City Council is expected to approve a $475,000 payout on Wednesday”. Also the cop that pulled out his gun and aimed it at the family got fired.
Justice 💪💪 oh sweet Justice 👏 thanks for the news 💪
that's it?
Thats not enough *IT* needs to be charged
That's not enough...that pig will hired elsewhere & will end up killing someone & no Justice
@@arielprince1279 very true, he’ll just be hired at a town adjacent to that one
That cop overstepping his authority
Hearing that child screaming in terror upset me so much. Props to the neighbors for recording and trying to help.
Imagine being a cop and screaming "I'm gonna put a cap in your head" to a member of the public. A pregnant woman at that, what an absolute joke.
The id!ot pointing the gun thinks he's in a spoof episode of dirty harry...
Yeah, but I'm not laughing!
Just another cop pretending to be a tough guy
@B no arguments there
*AMERICA*
*OH AMERICA*
*Why?*
I didn’t realise that we aimed guns at toodlers in the 21st century. Let alone an exhausted pregnant lady, let alone an exhausted father. Let alone a family dropping their kids off.
Americans
This is america
What can I say apart from its America
It’s probably also to do with racism, that cop hated them before they saw them. But it’s America so most likely nothing will be done and the cop will get a more th prison sentence but will be let out early
wtf a was about to cry how is this a thing anymore
Omg this is beyond words wtf!?
Madness. Get these maniacs off the street
They treat pregnant women and children like this?👀 could only imagine what they've done off camera
These cops shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near any guns, or near any children, or any pets. Clearly, they cannot be trusted with sentient beings at all.
@@jannacoyote4246
Just imagine what they do to non sentient beings.
Gtfoh with that bs about how oh how can they do that to a women. The kid part i agree with they aren't equal as an adult.
@@sirnelson424 its not that she's a woman, it's that she is a pregnant woman.
Imagine how they treat their wives/kids at home it they have any....
They're just giving anyone a badge and a gun now, aren't they?
The Dallas police department recently said that they will START selecting officers based on intelligence rather than strength, which was their previously preferred criterion. Because they just now realized that you maybe shouldn't give find to stupid people.

Ridiculous! Reckless and completely unacceptable!
At first I thought he was alone, but there where at least 4 other cops and none of them tried stopping him.
His language, behavior, tone....is full of hate.
I totally agree with you.
This is what drunk and corrupt with power looks like. 🤔
@@hugoh.9694 You are absolutely right!!!!!!!!!!!!! :))))
This is Real police brutality here. They complied they didn’t get hostile or resist and they got treated like wild animals. That’s sad af there’s nothing to excuse those cops actions. NOTHING.
As a typical "blue lives matter" supporter, I 100% agree.
@@stephencrawley2862 The life of the cop that said he was gonna shoot a pregnant woman in the head is worth no more than a used condom. He should have been locked up for life.
@@axelnova123 I'm inclined to agree with you. He has no business being a police officer.
@@stephencrawley2862 oh I back the blue line as well. But I’m not gonna act completely blind to misconduct because that’s not ok.
Cops like these, they dont care about enforcing the law, they only wanted you to give them reason to pull that trigger.
All this??? Over shoplifting?? Seems an extreme reaction on the part of the police. And they wonder why people are afraid of police officers.
This is sickening these animals should be under a cell. Cops have to much power and no accountability
Imagine how the cops treat their wives and sons and daughters not to mention the dog and cats
Makes you think!? Hummm!?
Most are sadists.
Ya, but who they gonna call, ghost busters??? Cops wives that are domestically abused don't have such privileges. Cops who beat their wives are treated very differently than regular folks getting arrested for the same thing. It happens a lot.
40% of cops beat their wives
@@NinjaThatLongboards And half of them don't get fired for it
Absolutely disgusting conduct by the police. They don't deserve the badges they wear.
In a perfect world cops would be qualified for their positions
@Spawn ok Karen
@Spawn i wonder if you can still say that if you experience something like this
@Spawn lol they didn't understand wut u meant
@@TorchicNidoran1994 In a perfect world there wouldn't be a need for cops.
All that over a stolen Barbie doll 💀💀💀💀
What is the chances a shop lifter has a gun. Next to zero. Insane reaction. How do you investigate get to the facts of the case when the cops keeps telling you to shut your mouth. A total power trip way over the top. Protect and serve that is their job not storm troopers.
