re: A white and black teen get in a fight at NJ mall but only the black teen is shown cuffed

we've never had equal treatment in the history of mankind and society has somehow carried on and prevailed. There is no such thing as equality. Someone will always have more money than you, more cars than you, more properties than you, etc. Equality is simply an unattainable idea that "they" use to keep people living under slave mentality, giving the common folk an illusion to believe in so that they think someone is actually fighting for them.

You’re conflating “equality” and “equal treatment.” Obviously people will never be equal in any sort of measurable way, and I’m clearly not advocating for equal outcomes; which are in a totally separate category of thought than equal treatment by law enforcement, which is what this is. In that regard I will repeat, if people aren’t being treated equally by the law who are engaging in the exact same act at the exact time and we cannot say that is wrong, then we have no society.

By the very definition of assault the black kid made the first contact.


Incorrect. Assault is physical contact with the express purpose to do harm or injure. Pushing someone’s hand out of your face doesn’t fit that description; but shoving them absolutely does.

This is the correct view. However, in this case that's not really relevant. It was a fairly equal fight, and when the cops arrived, it didn't matter who instigated it. Some dipshits in this thread are claiming that the ot is racist because we aren't in arms against the police in this video. This is all because the video showed the black kid getting cuffed and then the video cut out before they cuffed the white kid. If you listen to the endoctrinated bitch recording, you can tell it's a misleading clip. Both kids got cuffed and who cares how exactly it happened...nothing to see, move on with life. Everything is not racially motivated like people want it to be.

then yelling at someone and wagging your finger in their face would certainly create an apprehension of imminent harm.

I suppose if you're one that possesses low impulse control and the inability to deescalate a situation by laughing and walking away.

You can play the contrarian bit to your heart's desire. Who made the actual first physical contact? We all know who.

It’s fricking hysterical that you’re obviously proud of the white kid and see nothing wrong with how the whole thing went down.

---

So is your anger directed specifically at the white kid, and his actions, or how the police handled things?

Both kids had the opportunity to walk away, neither did. Paragraph is irrelevant.

Again, physical contact to remove someone’s hand out of your face does not fall under the legal definition of starting a fight. Pushing someone however, does.

Why is the thread anchored?

Then realize the white kid stood up and stood over the cops and the kid on the ground, and the cops didn’t do shite about it. People both white and black have been shot by cops for much less.

You're trying to see way too much in to the situation to justify your outrage over it. They're children. If these were two adult males the female cop would not have set the man down and turned her back to him.

But to play devil's advocate you also need to consider the male female issue at play here. People, like many in this thread, that engage in victim mentality will find something to complain about in any scenario. The actions of police have been hindered so deeply by victims that maybe the female cop talked herself out of engaging the young male and putting her hands on him, thus deciding to help the male cop with the first kid so that the male cop could then move on to the second kid. You see that now all the time with female cops needing to be called in to the scene in order to perform searches on female perps in fear of the female perp crying victim and claiming sexual harassment by the male cop.

The constant crying foul of police actions, and the defund the police movement, are exactly why we don't have this mythical equally under the law concept. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Based on that video, the white kid may have been about to get cuffed. Conveniently cuts off a the female officer grabs his hands.
