These cops were racist from the get go. They are used to that behavior that's why they executed their unlawful attack on the kid. These cops like stoking panic in people then wonder why said people don't want to cooperate. Furthermore, lying about what happened expecting public goodwill. If the kid were selling lemonade instead of flowers, you really think these guys would give two ***s? There's only one common factor for why it gets violent and it isn't the kids fault as much as the cops and their inherently racist attitude. "SHOO SHOO SHOO" as if they were dogs or flies. They screwed up and they know they did.

Their copganda makes no sense. If they'd suspected "juveniles" were robbing stores why'd they ask the kid for ID. Juveniles don't have ID. At what point in the encounter was he legally obligated to hand over an ID? Secondly was he suspected of robbing Walmart? Third, at what point did the detention occur? The moment they. used force? OOOPS! Free money for the kid.

LAZY policing is to blame for this as the majority 99.9999999999999% of cases where your hard earned money is shelled out to people. They asked how they could do their job better. If the original cops can't look at this video and answer that question, well you know good luck with that. BIG INDICATOR that the nasty attitude is so entrenched in the ranks of cops that they fight every instance of reform.
