Meh, I've done it twice before and wasn't arrested either time. I generally walk the straight and narrow nowadays though, so it's not much of a concern. Even so, I still avoid police as much as I can. Don't trust them.

I'll start by saying that was clearly excessive after they got him outside.
The kids could've easily prevented it though. Cop tells you to walk outside and talk, you walk outside and talk.
I think most people when viewing these videos don't look at it from a Cops perspective. Do you know why he wants the guy to step outside? Because if the cop walks in the risk of something happening to him goes up big time. They don't know what they're walking into. If the guy had just listened to the cop, they might've let him off. Being respectful to cops usually pays off for you. Most of them aren't douches and you can actually talk to them. Even if they didn't let him off, worst case is he gets a slap on the wrist and a chance to fight it in court.

True, but before I go outside I'm going to ask what it's about. I'm not going one on one with a stranger, even if he has badge, if I don't know their intentions.
According to them he just walked in. Maybe they didn't hear him because of the noise complaint, but that's still going to raise my alarm. And if he was being an arse and refusing to tell me what was going on like they claim then it might as well be a home invasion. I'm as patient of a person as you'll ever meet, but I can empathize with how these teens reacted if their story is true.

Well according to the video, he said you're under arrest and then told him what for. So at that point he should've gone. Although I probably would've done it earlier.
You don't have to go out there by yourself. Obviously the cops not going to want everybody out there but I've been in similar situations and we just have one or two guys who aren't shite faced or confrontational go out and talk to them. Never had any problems with Auburn police.
Going out of your way to be respectful to them usually goes a long way. They appreciate it. Setting a very relaxed and calm tone leads to them giving you leeway. Id have to see the beginning of the confrontation to know though.
And let's be real, they knew why the cops were there. If you're having a party and the cops show up, you shouldn't be shocked.

If it is true that he just busted in, I would have probably had an attitude too. Especially at 3am after a big win (I had passed out in angry drunk depression Saturday) but you know had we won.
Cops need to learn they cannot just treat to people like they sub class citizens and then demand respect from said people.

This was the 3rd time the cops were called to that apartment that night.

Now that Southern white folks are getting targeted, maybe those who contend that black people are "asking for it" will think twice.

Is there a link to that? Surely the police made notes of that and would get out in front of this by releasing the documentation.
If so, that changes the whole dynamic of why the cop was hostile.

Just my friend that either is part of the UAPD, TPD, or works security for UA.
Also, someone said a cop was injured in a hit and run a few minutes earlier. I think the cops weren't taking shite from anyone else the rest of the night.

Lol. You talk so much shite online, little man. I'm sure you're a bitch irl. You're funny!
Posted on 11/10/15 at 11:36 am to Masterag
That's very funny coming from yourself. You're the worst kind of race baiter. You choose to stay inside your ignorant bubble of one-sided recognition. Your head is planted so firmly up your arse you couldn't possibly recognize there are multitudes of people (white, brown, yellow) that take great issue about police brutality regardless of race.

You're probably one of those people that think most cops are looking for an opportunity to beat somebody senseless.
Most of the time when someone's getting beaten by cops, they could've easily done something to prevent it. Like being respectful.
And maybe since southern white folks are getting targeted now, we can stop making this a race issue.

You don't know anything about me to say this. I abhor police brutality in all forms perpetrated against anyone regardless of color. But in this part of the country, stuff like this doesn't get taken seriously until black people start marching or it starts happening to white folks. That is a fact, my friend.

No I don't think that at all. I believe there is an endemic situation of police being trained to shoot first and ask questions later. They're constantly on edge because they're taught to be that way.
I don't know enough to agree or disagree with this statement. But so what if someone disrespects a cop? It's not something I would do or agree with, but it's part of the job. And the respect thing goes both ways, you can't demand respect and the benefit of the doubt without being ready to do the same.

I figured it was something like that from the start based on the number of responding officers.
If true, it explains a whole lot about the officer's attitude. Still doesn't justify beating on the guy with a mag light, but it makes the arrests completely appropriate.

Police just released the names of the 3 suspended officers, and I'd imagine they'd have released this info as well if true. They also said there were so many responding officers because of the apartment complex's proximity to the Strip, where a lot of officers already were.
