That gorilla was getting ready to swing at the kid's mother. He doesn't need to be anywhere near a LEO job. He needs to be fired, in which case he'll unfortunately end up likely working private security, which is nine times out of ten the back story for the Atrium guard.There is lots of bad here, but props to the good cop for restraining the gorilla.

I saw this on the news last night. Three people in that video need to be looking for work...the fourth needs to be voted out.
Enough wrong in that video for them to put some in the bank. I'll bet none of the idiots ever thought about video....
Indeed. Safe to assume you've got at least one camera pointed at you in most public places these days, and especially a hospital. Hell in a hospital the only place you aren't likely on camera is in the can.
Excuse me but three people in the video need to be charged with assault on a minor, one needs to be looking work and one voted out.
Yup. Kid was just talking smack until the guard grabbed hold of him. That was the first crime. Yes, the kid did try to punch the guard in the face, but I'd say it was justifiable. And no, the kid shouldn't have spit blood at the cop... but based on the cop's actions after, i'm guessing he was probably being a PoS from the start about it.Ya'll may not believe this but the security guards didn't even have the right to help the mother get him into the hospital.
Yeah. I'd be in jail.
Yeah. I'd be in jail.
I would be in jail if I saw that happen to ANYBODY’s kid, much less my own.
The teen was not violent, made no attempt to assault anyone, made no attempt to get into the family car.
Sometimes parents go this route because they're too sorry to raise the kid right in the first place. They expect everybody else to fix their kid.I will say I think the security was way over the top from the video alone. Unfortunately you don't hear the audio which could change things a little. Not taking up for them just saying we have 5 sometimes 6 senses that make up the entire picture. I do not think they handled it correctly or legally.
I think this does highlight one thing most have missed in this situation and that is the mother initiated the entire ordeal. I understand she wanted "help" because she couldn't control her teenager in crisis. But were was Dad or grandpa, uncle to help. She went to and got the guard because she couldn't handle it herself. Unfortunately I have seen parents with kids as young as 7-9 try to have them committed just so an officer would deal with them not them. People don't understand life gets real quick when you have the state or outside family get involved.

If you read most of the cop bashing threads here you would know that you must have been hallucinating when you saw the good cop step in. Cops never step in when another cop is doing wrong. It just doesn't happen. They are all bad. Didn't you know that?
