You don't do that to a 14 year old. Ever.
ReplyDeleteI don't care who you are.
Be nice to actually know what happened.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck happened to make
ReplyDeletethe officer use such force----
or was it just the officers ego
at work?
This is only the tip of the iceberg with that place. Wait until the Feds look into them fudging crime stats. The lies and deceit start from the top. The house of cards is about to fall.
ReplyDeleteWhats the whole story
ReplyDeleteI've got scars all over my body and I don't cry about them. The situation stinks, I agree. But scars aren't the end of the world.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice if the original poster had a story to go along with the pictures so Salisbury's finest wouldn't look so bad.
ReplyDeleteThose scabs are road rash. It happens when you fight people on concrete and asphalt. It doesn't mean brutality happened.
ReplyDelete5:23 were all your scars due to misdameaner charges and caused by someone who has sworn to an oath of 'to protect and serve'? What was so bad that we as citizens needed to be protected from a juvenile riding a bike with no headlight and wearing headphones? Does the average juvenile or even adult know it is illegal in Maryland to wear headphones which cover or block both earrs? That law is not that well known!
ReplyDeleteIGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS.NO EXCUSE! 6:11.
ReplyDeleteSo do you think Duncan knows it is against the law to submit fraudulent crime stats to show reduced crime in order to receive federal funds or will she claim ignorance? How is that high point crime reduction model workin for ya chiefy
ReplyDeletepolice need to whistleblow and step up.
DeleteEvery time an officer brings up wrong doing by command staff they file bogus charges against the officer.
DeleteGive me a lawyer and I'll give you an ear full on SPD
DeleteWhat would happen if a 14 yr old disobeyed his parents and they tackled him and left this type of injury. Would they be locked up for child abuse?
ReplyDeleteHow is it, yet another cop is in fear for his life from yet another unarmed person? And this time a 14yo riding a bike? No light on bike and wearing headphones is just a legal way to make contact and dig deeper, like a broken tag light is used to pull over motorists.
ReplyDeleteGood job hero, now another will grow up to distrust and hate cops.
As an adult you are expected to know the law, as a juvenile you have to teach or tell them, you are not born knowing the law! knowing the law is not instinctual, nor is common sense!
ReplyDeleteIt might be a good idea to teach young people to give their right name when asked. Where are you going or where have you been should not be answered by I don't know either. The part about I'm riding someone else's bike might be key.
ReplyDelete8:23 same here! A lot of fudging for supervisors to move up.
ReplyDeleteThat's what a kid looks like when he falls off of a bike. Big whoop. And if he was arguing with, or fleeing a police officer when it happened, big whoop again. I don't know if the common denominator in these incidents is the white cops, or the black kids involved. It does seem the black kids don't have much respect for the authority of police officers, white or black. What they are learning at home is that cops can't tell them what to do. That is just a terribly wrong way to raise a child. It encourages a child to do wrong, and then get injured as a result of the wrongdoing when caught. A parent does their child no favors raising them that way. This is a cultural problem, not a legal one.

NO one is required to identify themselves to leo, unless they are being charged with a crime. And it is no one's business, including leo, where one has been or where one is going.
No one should talk to a cop unless it is through an attorney. No good can come out of it. Police will use anything and everything against you in an attempt to charge you with something, anything.
Shouldn't have ran huh?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a kid made several bad decisions that he has had to pay for! He lied about his name, his age, and tried to run from the police! So the cop stopped him, using his hands! I could understand if the cop shot him the outrage on this! But you BREAK the law or WILLFULLY DISOBEY an officer then expect to pay the consequences! The laws are in place for a reason!
ReplyDelete10;47 the kops don't need to know who I am or where I'm going or where I've been. Unless they have a good reason to believe I've been involved in a crime they can go pound sand! especially for something as minor as riding a bike while wearing headphones! seriously I guess they've solved all the other major crimes and we are down to this and ticketing motorists?
ReplyDeleteInnocent until proven guilty.
ReplyDelete9:52 Go back to work and get those seat belt people!
ReplyDelete8:48--he had to ID himself once stopped for two traffic citations. In that case, giving false information just adds another offense.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the overall tenor of this conversation though. Officer Aita (if he even deserves that title) is moronic, fears for his life from a 15 year old child, and is easily guilty of using excessive force in a couple of different incidents here.

1:12 I am the one who posted that comment @9:52 and for your information I am NOT a cop! I work in Salisbury in a small business. I just believe in the laws! They are in place for a reason! If you are not informed on the laws of your area - READ UP! They are posted on the internet for FREE! IGNORANCE is not a reason to BREAK the LAW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDidn't this cop have more to do than worry about a kid on a bike?
ReplyDeleteOK 1:42 how about his Aunt? She broke the law too! I still think your a cop from your thin skinned approach and your capital letters! FYI I am a COP!! Not like the one described!! Small business SURE!

ReplyDeleteHe very well should be scarred for life. Maybe now he will learn lying has consequences as does trying to run from the cops.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who sympathizes with this thug in training is a sick person. All actions can have consequences. As soon as children learn lying won't be tolerated the better off society is.
