They think that while the one cop is occupied on the ground trying to handcuff him either... - Ender Sep 18, 07:24
Then again it is Stockton, not the safest city around -- nm - amoxy Sep 18, 06:05
My comment was more in general...but speaking to this...who's to say that 15 seconds before that video started the kid didn't take a swing at the cop? - Jim Sep 18, 06:04 7
- to your IM, I can think of a number of reasons why submitting to authority might not be the first thing on this kid's mind. -- nm* - znufrii Sep 18, 06:15 6
  - It might not be the first thing on his mind, but it should be. When has struggling and yelling EVER helped someone in his situation? - Jim Sep 18, 06:25 5
    - or maybe just not escalate the situation so it gets to that point in the first place? *shrug* -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 06:50 4
      - Aren't we saying the same thing? *confused* -- nm - Jim Sep 18, 07:17 3
        
        well, I was talking about the cop -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 07:27 2
        
        Ah...yeah, we won't find agreement there. -- nm - Jim Sep 18, 07:28 1
        
        apologies for the confusion. :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 18, 07:31
