This video was made public at the officers criminal sentencing hearing fwiw. He was charged and pled guilty to multiple crimes.

According to the story, the kid was stopped for outstanding warrant.

and also according to the story, that was a complete lie fabricated after the fact. and the cop had to later change his story to "dark tinted windows" because there were no warrants.

His parents are actually to blame.They should have taught him the basic rules of survival.


Dad was a cop...literally told him to do this.

quote:

When Stacy and Matt Masters began having children, they moved across the border to Kansas City so Matt could keep his job as an officer with the Kansas City Police Department.


quote:

A friend at the Independence police station called Matt to tell him his son had just been arrested. Matt headed to jail and posted Bryce’s bail. Later, when they got home and Bryce described what had happened, something about the arrest didn’t seem right. Matt couldn’t see any probable cause. He told Bryce that the officer shouldn’t have gone into his pockets and the search was likely illegal.

Outraged, Stacy called the station and demanded to speak to the officers involved. She told the sergeant she spoke to that the family believed the officers had conducted an illegal search and that they were considering filing a complaint. The sergeant didn’t respond well to the threat and told her that if she were a better mother, maybe none of this would have happened.

Matt was furious. He and Stacy sat Bryce down. They told him that they were disappointed he was smoking marijuana but that his civil rights had been violated. Matt told him that if an officer ever stopped him, he had every right to know why he was being stopped, and whether he was under arrest. The conversation was still fresh in Bryce’s mind on September 14 when Officer Runnels pulled him over.


Actually, it reads ;like a cop that understands the law was pissed that those that didn't had mistreated his son and told him what to expect. The cop on scene clearly seems to knows this and responds in kind...

In every single video I see like this, it begins with someone not listening to and obeying the law enforcement officer. When will people learn.

exactly as I expected.

A kid who breaks the law.
A parent who understands they broke the law.
A weak arse parent who decides to focus the attention on the "civil liberties" that were violated.

Dumb parent.
Dumb child.

Meet complete jerk power hungry cop.

ALL of them got exactly what they deserve.

-okay, so he had a reason to get out of the vehicle and be arrested.
-the cop tazed him instead of shot him

seems like the only mistake was made by the driver under arrest. Sucks but its his own fault. The cop did not know he was going into cardiac arrest.

You quoted a separate occasion that has nothing to do with the stop in the op.

Really? Dropping someone on their face when their hands are cuffed behind their back is ok? Tazing someone for 23 seconds (count that in your head really quick) is ok?

I realize this is difficult for some, but read the fricking article. This is one of the most cut and dried cases of police brutality, and covering their own asses you're ever likely to find. and, in this case, we're not even talking about a jump to conclusions based on a video with no context. This motherfricker was CONVICTED...

And yet, as is typical for this cesspool of a board (that seems ok with this kind of stuff but will filter dirty words) even this isn't enough to simply call a spade a spade if it means saying something bad about a cop.

He was told that he was under arrest, he was going to jail,and could have bonded out,sorted it out in court.Did he think the cop was going to change his mind and give him his way?

If he had been in this situation before,he should have known what to do.

The cop did wrong,but it never should have come to that.

I am no angel,but the court system has always worked for me,when I was in the right.

If I know I am right,legal procedures don't scare me a bit.

I love these kinds of videos just based on the comments alone. It's clear that old people (baby boomers and such) think it's okay for cops to do whatever the frick they want because they wear a badge. fricking sheep.

Just another bad copy. It sucks for the good ones that douche bags like this are out there. Simple though...fire the cop, put him on trial.

frick cops. One of the worst parts about that story is how other cops were harassing and taunting the kid after one of their own gave him brain damage.

No, he's right. Anybody who doesn't listen to a police officer deserves to go into cardiac arrest.

Congrats on actually reading the article you're commenting on!

Seriously...as poorly as I think of this place, if there's anyone here that wants to still defnd this piece of shite AFTER actually reading the article, then feel free...but at least that way we'll all know that their idiotic POV isn't sole due to the blinding ignorance of this particular case.

WHY WHY WHY do people continue to be a-holes to the police and bait them into this stuff?


Ever since 2008 people have been acting like this. I wonder what happened in 2008 that made people feel like the police are a bunch of white racists who need to be brought down? Can't quite put my finger on it

It's the police officer job to ENFORCE the law. If no law has been broken you do NOT have to anything they tell you to do. I've had a few run ins with the law. The times that I was breaking the law I complied. If I've done nothing wrong and the cop thinks I'm gonna bow down to him I tell them to go frick themselves with the swiftness. Bunch of bootlicking betas in this forum.
