From what I understand, the situation escalated slowly over several minutes. The kids were asked nicely to put the vapes away and leave but they continued to smoke, talk shit, and provoke the cops. After a couple minutes, more cops gathered and it got out of control.
The kids had ample opportunity to leave with just a tiny hit to their egos but they just had to be tough guys and escalate things. The cops eventually had to either back down and not enforce the law or get physical. I'm far from a blue lives matter person, but I'm ok with the use of force here. Pieces of shit like this are given chance after chance and they just refuse to submit to any authority. And they have become pieces of shit because they've been allowed to resist authority their entire lives.
And I completely understand. I've seen plenty of videos of how niggers of all colors force police to use force. I don't want to live in a society/culture where the standard is that in cases where someone "resists" and so the police call in an apache gunship because the cops have to be ready for anything up to and beyond the perp pulling a gun or aids needle. I want to live in a society/culture where people are so rarely truly violent to the police such that in a case like this the police call in a few extra guy to muscle them like a drunk guy getting kicked out of the club. Four large men can pickup one guy and carry him away. Perhaps take their vapes and tell them they can pick them up free of charge in 24 hrs at the station. The cops never fear getting shot and so the whole process is much more civil. I know this is not the reality of many cities today, but that does not mean we simply have to accept it.
I completely understand but that doesn't mean I will accept it. I feel like too many people today have accepted it in the general sense.
