Iâll have to acknowledge that this certainly is amazing news. The white cop didnât shoot any unarmed black kids? That is unusual.
He came awfully close. Maybe he should get some medals to go along with that paid vacation he is getting.
Donât forget the Americaâs favorite MadLib mottoâŚ
The only thing that stops [children from having fun] is [police] with guns.

Here, I fixed it for you 
apparently, you can put anything you want in there as long as you donât take away the âwith gunsâ. 
Racist white woman assaults black child, secure in the knowledge that police will turn up and finish the job.
âI was disappointed my victim wasnât summarily executed by the departmentâs loose cannon. His colleagues barely lifted a finger to stop him but he still couldnât pull the trigger. Whatâs this country coming to!?â
What exactly was the point of that grass rolling maneuver? It looks like that cop has seen waaaay too many movies.
I told him that he should try rolling some grass to chill out, but we had a communications problem.
I seriously thought he was tweaking.
Iâm just struck by how lucky the kid with the turquoise hat is that the cop didnât shoot him. The other two cops rushed in to stop it just in time. The crazy cop was looking directly in the eyes of the kid, and itâs obvious that the kid is armed with nothing more than a ballcap, he is moving away from the cop, and poses no imminent threat whatsoever. The cop pulls his gun in rage.
The cop harangues the kids for running away despite his commands to stop and get on the ground. Gee, I wonder why they would run rather than comply.
Thanks, Founding Fathers and ambiguous phrasing.
Itâs possible that it was a least-bad-option recovery from stumbling while running; but otherwise Iâm inclined to go with the âthinks heâs Rambo, is actually a deeply undistinguished cop in a boring suburb; is this close to externalizing his contradictions with extreme prejudice on the next person who looks at him wrongâ hypothesis.
Iâd float roid rage; but he doesnât have the build for it.
maybe itâs roid rage but heâs just started and is really lazy?
Maybe (hemor)rhoid rageâŚ
Whoâs the fat ass in the denim shorts? Some rage-cop, reserve deputy wanna be?
I think he tripped on roots or sidewalk.
As will likely prove irrelevant, because cop, that guyâs actions appear to be an attempt to traverse Title 5 Chapter 22 of the Texas Penal Code as quickly as possible.
(While also acting so as to clearly demonstrate that he is in no plausible danger: if you are facing a crowd that seems ugly enough that youâd be justified in pulling a gun on it, you donât walk right into the middle, where your rear and flanks are exposed and you have no chance of avoiding being rushed and taken down).
or his engorged sense of authority.
