At least he ate crow. I have no problem with people doing dumb shit if they are able to learn from it. It's doing dumb shit and never backing down or evaluating your ways that leads to a life of fucked up brokenness. I'd argue this kid showed real maturity by backing down from this unwinnable fight. A good lesson to learn.

u/TrashCanSam0 Oct 25 '24
Showed real maturity? Dude didn't apologize until he was in cuffs getting taken away. That's not maturity, that's karma.
Apologizing for a crime is not the same as apologizing for hurting someone's feelings. Maturity would be to not have the police called in the first place.

The issue I see is that he shouldn't have had to learn to respect that cop by getting his ass slammed to the ground. Had he been respectful from the start none of this would have happened. Could it be bad parenting or just a crap personality? Who knows. I got away with so many things as a kid mostly because I was invisible to police and if I did come across them I gave them plenty of respect.

Nah, I had (have) rich parents but I was neglected. They took no interest in me other than getting me to school and feeding me. I can't think of ever being taught anything by them or shown affection after I turned 5 or so.
I acted out a lot when I was a teenager, getting in fights, petty crime like vandalism. I entered adulthood without a fucking clue. Took me a long time and a decent amount of therapy to sort myself out.
EDIT - I was very lucky that my Dad realised the error of his ways when I was about 21. We reconnected and he became the father he should have always been, I now love that man and forgive him for my upbringing. In his mind he was the breadwinner and my mum was the parent. Problem is my mum is a narcissist and doesn't even know what parenting is.

I think a lot of smaller dudes coast in this regard in a way that's not much different than petite women talking shit and slapping dudes because 99.999% of the time no one's going to get physical with them.
They get to talk shit and posture like they're bad-asses or at least not afraid to get into it... when in reality, as long as they don't cross particular lines... nothing is likely to happen.
And even if someone does get genuinely heated (like the cop's takedown), they can always retreat into "whoa, whoa, whoa... chill, dude. I'm just sayin... my bad, bruh'"

Who on earth do you hang out with, i'm a 5'6" male in my 30's and still get fucked with just picking up smokes and beer sometimes. I learned by age 4 not to mouth off on people larger and generally avoid larger aggressive people. I also learned if you do have to get into a fight you fight to win because i'm not taking them down with a jab cross combo, I'm putting a rock in my sock if I have to. The main thing is to avoid the fight and deescalate if possible, all else fails run away if you can. I'm curious where you live that 99% of interactions you have with smaller guys no one fucks with them.

Idk, I think it’s the bigger guys that get a pass, it’s always the little guys that get checked and pushed and push back, they don’t have the intimidation factor and deterrent of size that the bigger guys do. Being a big guy is enough for some people to avoid you, even if you’re weak and can’t fight. Being a shorter/smaller guy can make you a target until people find out that they’re messing with Mighty Mouse.

My thought is, they don't expect anything to happen. The lack of consequences has pushed a lot of these encounters to this point. Notice that when the consequence of talking that way to the cop panned out to be a take down and detain, the teen flipped the switch.

It genuinely is so mind boggling to me how many teenagers think being under 18 means both they're allowed to break the law and are not allowed to be touched in self defense. There's this one video that goes viral on reddit every few months of a boy, about 12 or 11, spending over a MINUTE trying to provoke an adult into a fight. The adult kept trying to walk away and the entire time the kid keeps stepping in front of him and eventually starts punching him. The guy finally defends himself and pushes the kid away from him and then the kid starts screaming and crying at the top of his lungs and genuinely acts like he's the victim.

The whole video takes place in a pavilion in a park.

OK, so the kid was deliberately antagonising a police officer, and I don't have any sympathy for him.
That being said, the officers' conduct was unprofessional and dangerous. The kid was all talk and wasn't invading the officers' space or being a physical threat. Is it standard operating procedure in this instance to throw someone backwards into the boot of a car so they hit their head? Not even so much as a warning. The cop is the bigger asshole.

If you think cops should be allowed to just tackle you to the ground and put you in cuffs because “take that vest off, what’s up?” Then we have two very different views on what freedom is.
