Cops Violently Handle Drunk Kid At Halo Reach Launch

Drunk gamer gets mad Halo Reach was sold out so cop comes and body slams him.

[gamesR4fun]

dudes one clueless kid.

[EvilBlackCat]

HE IS DRUNK YOU DAMN MORON

That was not necessary for real. a little girl can punch that drunked kid in the faces and he fall. THAT WAS POLICE BRUTALITY PERIOD

[poindat]

Unnecessary force? He's just doing what that kid's parents (who probably fail at their role) should have done. Drunk or not that kid deserved a good beating and now there's one less douchebag to deal with online.

[Gilliand]

How is that police brutality? I was expecting a kid (15-17 years old) getting beaten, not some 24+ wasted guy to be thrown to the ground. Also if that was police brutality, the people watching would have cared more for the guy than the boxes that were flying around and might have actually shown a reaction.

I'm just guessing that you're a pansy or you hate police. I would have like to see some one smash his head in with a brick but I guess I hate public drunks more than you.

[UnSelf]

i wanna see the 7ft 600lb man

[KillaManiac]

We do not know the backstory on how long the Gamestop staff and cops actually had to handle that guy before this force was taken.

I love how people jump on the police's butt. If he was resisting arrest should they of just left him there and drove away?

Gotta love drunk halo players! Bet he has a great rep score.

[stiggs]

Police brutality...are you kidding me? I can guarantee that you laugh your ass off at clips on Youtube of idiots severly hurting themselves in various ways. But when a cop restrains a drunk, belligerent fool who is clearly resisting the officer's request you deem it brutality. Give me a break.

[Lifendz]

smh@all of you claiming that was excessive. The guy stated police several times, gave an order, and the kid proceeded to act disorderly. If the cop hadn't acted in that manner and the kid had a weapon and injured someone you'd all be screaming that that it's the cop's fault for not doing enough.

[Ocelot525]

lol, the police destroyed much more in the store than the drunk kid.

there is something as proportionality and slamming the kid to the ground was disproportional

not a big deal, except for the broken xboxes(lol the police actually broke more than the kid)

[LOOK_AT_THIS_I]

Yeah because he ordered the guy to stop resisting and the douchebag activly resisted. You cold see it in the kids movements, cop had every right. First step give orders, assist the individual, force the individual with physical force. Cop told him to stop resisting the entire time and the dumbass continued to struggle.

Its easy folks, if a cop gives you a lawful order....FOLLOW IT. If you are too much of a tough guy to follow orders then you escalate the situation and get whats coming.

[ExPresident]

Hardly police brutality, not even close. That Officer handled that as best he could with the cards he was dealt. Some peoples opinions of abuse are just pathetic. The Officer clearly identified himself upon entering the video, not counting for who knows what happened before they started recording, and then clearly attempted to detain the guy with as little force as possible. You can see that by him attempting to pull his hand behind his back.

Rather than comply the guy pulls his arm away and looks at the Officer, clearly not cooperating and showing no intention of doing so. A normal individual would have left the store upon being asked and this guy clearly didn't. Once he pulls away he's resisting and the Officer handled it well. Even after being taken to the ground the officer continued to give him commands to cooperate and the guy still didn't.

So flip this around and assume the officer does what all you cry babies expect and just sit and talk, ask nicely five more times or more and politely beg he cooperate. Now you've got a store owner potentially losing customers and revenue because they don't want to be in a store with a drunk causing a disturbance. The owner files a complaint because the Officer failed to remove an intoxicated subject disrupting business in the store causing him a loss in business. Not bad enough? Lets take it to a further extreme. Drunk idiot becomes enraged over the confrontation, which was the officer telling him to stop and trying to make him leave the store. He turns out to be one of these kids who kills someone over a video game (cause we've seen that happen before) and stabs a bystander who was trying to buy a different game. Stabbing victim sues the Police Department because again, to avoid "police brutality" the officer failed to act in time to prevent any further violence or disruption.

Police Brutality, give me an f'ing break.

[Spydiggity]

Troll

[Zeppelin666]

I'm not saying its police brutality but like Ocelot stated. the cop did more damage then the kid. He's drunk people. Quite calling him a douche bag for that you stupid hypocrites. Unless you call yourself the same everytime you drink. I'm sure there could have been a more safe solution that didn't involve being slammed on the ground and breaking stuff. Thats my opinion and if anyone has a say on it, its best to just keep scrolling down because your only gonna make yourself look like an ignorant fool.

[Megaton]

Oh please. He knocked over a bunch of empty boxes while throwing him to the ground. Hardly an unnecessary use of force. The cop didn't even hit him or anything. You've never seen police brutality before if you think this is it.

Any chance that was you in the vid, EvilBlackCat?

[archemides518]

yea that was excessive

but yea typical halo dude what do u expect, sounded like he thought he had his live headset on

[heroprotagonist]

The guy was an idiot and deserved to get beaten down, but I still think the cop used more force than necessary. The officer could have used less force and still taken care of the situation.

I see this a lot. Police officers will become angry or annoyed with the person they are apprehending and so they will use more force than is necessary.

[P_Bomb]

@Zeppelin
If being drunk to you means doing and saying whatever the hell you want on someone ELSE'S property (eg the store owner's), then give us your addy. We'll throw an N4G midnight kegger on your front lawn next weekend, lol. We can because the law doesn't apply to drunks apparently. No one has ever hurt anyone else when they were drunk you know. Naw. Drunks are the safest people to be around. Their unpredictability is so cute!

Yeah there was a "safer solution". The guy shoulda stayed at home!

[cb4g]

...resisting arrest so the cop took him down with a wrist lock. Not a hip throw or a body slam, just a simple wrist lock to make him comply. That's not even close to police brutality. The cop then restrains him calmly and safely. All I could see was standard law enforcement training applied practically.

Oh, and EvilBlackCat, if you handle your alcohol as badly as this kid does, you deserve to be called a douchebag.

[cyborg6971]

I would have tased the red headed step child. And beat down evil black cat as well

[tinybigman]

the cop handled it right.

[SephireX]

@Gilliand
I don't like public drunks either but smash his head in with a brick? What would you have done to a murderer then lol?

[Enigma_2099]

From 0:00 to 0:12, the cop is actually just trying to pull the kid out of the store, after he tried to walk away from him, and let's not forget that he was resisting, or did you miss THAT part?

Guess what, if YOU were drunk in a public place and I was the cop on duty, I'd try to escort you out of the store, and if you resisted, I'd SLAM you down and cuff you too!

[gamingdroid]

I'm for a little rougher treatment of delinquents! Make it a little uncomfortable for them to do stupid things. They will think twice about it next time.

He was a drunk @ss, caused problems in public and wasting tax payers money. They should make him do community service to pay for the officers salary so we tax payers don't have to!

Now if he wasn't so drunk, I'm sure there is a Walmart, Best Buy or some other big chain store that has Halo: Reach in stock.

With that said, how the heck do you run out of Halo: Reach copies? That game is as abundant as air!

[BulletToothtony]

here's what a lot of people don't understand.. specially when people are under the influence, police HAS to show who's in charge.. they need to speak rough and act with authority, the second that a cop shows that he's not in control will be the second that he gets hit in the face or maybe even stabbed.

IMO the police give simple orders like show me your hands and get your hands out of your pockets but some idiots simply refuse to do this.. it's so simple but they may be hiding a knife or gun,

you never know when not acting quick and hesitating may result in the police getting killed or having to kill someone because they indeed have a weapon. Ultimately it's a good training imo.

[-Ikon-]

Wonder who the F@G will be when Bubba gets a hold of him in jail..

[Rocket Sauce]

You know what I say, Silent Bob...

[knightdarkbox]

"ilovepwnage.com +"

LMAO...:P

best part is in 0.13

[BornToKill]

and the other guy didn't even leave his chair. lol

[tehk1w1]

The only Reach he's going to be remembering is the REACH AROUND...

Badum tish!

[johnnywit]

LMAO best comment i've read all day.

[TheHardware]

10. that was a new move the cops learned from buying the last copy of halo reach
9. the kid shoulda pressed reset
8. the realism in this game is unbelievable
7. Microsoft reports, halo reach is a "hit"
6. permabanned
5. rowdy ps3 fanboy tries to break up halo launch event
4. the guy behind him knew there was actually 1 copy left.
3. study suggest, video games may be violent
2. achievement "locked"
1. xbox live, over 1 million served

thank you thank you

[sdtarm]

0. ppl usually says stupid and senseless things

[rajman]

Yet another cop in disgrace, that throw was uncalled for...this better make it on the news and name & shame him

[Theoneneo81]

he was resiting arrest what else could they do? god forbid the idiot had a knife or gun

[stiggs]

This officer handled this with as much patience as possible. The kid was combative and uncooperative so the cop was forced to respond with the required amount of physical restraint. I actually think that he was pretty gentle with the kid. It's amazing that you claim that the "disgraced " individual is the cop and not the belligerent drunk jackass.

[Gilliand]

Totally agree. I think some people here just have a chip on their shoulder for the police.

[DarkFantasy]

i have cops in my family and if you only knew the shit they go through every night you would have no patients for idiots, SHOUT OUT TO THE K9 UNIT!!!

[mittwaffen]

A chip?

Cops as of lately have been caught red handed killing peoples dogs in cages, doing unconstitutional searches without merit.

People care and want police to uphold the same standard everywhere, since America is becoming a Police state, they have even more of a right to be upset.

Not ALL police are bad, but the ones that fuck around need to lose their jobs, or have serious reactions.

[Gilliand]

You have no idea what a police state is. If you whine about dogs getting killed at least it isn't you as it would be in an actual police state. Hell for talking bad about the police right now you would be arrested.

There are dirty cops out there, but police have to wade through bs every day, something I couldn't do with out killing half the people I try to arrest, and I respect police for that.

[LOOK_AT_THIS_I]

agreed Stiggs.

its always someone else who caused this, never the person who committed the act. why was a cop summoned to the store? obviously the kid was being a problem, and im sure the cameras that our big bad government have installed to watch this douchebag kid picked up his actions right Mittwafen?

should the cop waited for this guy to decide when he was ready to stop disturbing/ possibly assaulting others in the store? should the cop have waited until he was assaulted? im sure people like you also encourage and approve of the rules of engagement our troops and law enforcement officers have to endure where they have to be shot at before they can protect themselves.

imagine yourself staring down a barrel of a gun and you cant eliminate the target until they attempt to kill you or your partners.

thats what our "police state" government forces upon the people who defend bitchass computer warriors who depend on the soldiers/officers to protect them and their rights which allow them to judge someone who has the courage to help protect our society. you can always go to mexico/canada or wherever you prefer to live, we wont let the door hit you on the way out.

[cb4g]

...there was no throw or body slam, just a simple wrist lock takedown to restrain an uncooperative drunk who was causing trouble for the store.

I don't get some people's attitude towards cops. Most of them are doing their job in ensuring people's safety. Most of you have probably never even been in contact with a cop - unless they were chasing you coz you racked up 4 wanted stars.

[cb4g]

...and that kid is a beacon of light in our society. Grow up mate!

[Focker-420]

Hilarious?? Yes
Totally uncalled for?? Yes

Just because a guy is drunk doesn't mean he needs to get slammed like that. Him cussing out the cop was awesome though.

On a side note, not a very big launch event. There was only like 10 guys in there lol.

LMFAO theres a guy in a Master Chief suit to the right of the guy in the chair. Lame

[Natsu X FairyTail]

thats what people of color go through all the time. maybe he'll understand how we feel from now on.

[blumatt]

For real, man. Don't even start that crap. Colored people have more opportunities that whites do nowadays. Affirmative Action and Welfare prove that. More colored people go through that probably because more colored people commit crimes. Not being racist, just being a realist and I'm tired of colored people (and other races) using the "race card" all the time.

[UnSelf]

Natsu X stop wit ur FairyTails

[stiggs]

Dude, shut the hell up.

[BldyShdw]

White was still a color :)

[Gilliand]

Funny thing, I didn't even notice his race until you pointed it out. Also stop with the whole race card thing, it gets old especially since I've seen you use it a lot.

Edit: he is white. I guess this just shows that if you have done something wrong you'll get your ass beat, the way it should be.

[Lovable]

Halo Reach

Remember Reach

[FiftyFourPointTwo]

Remember Jail :P

[Darkspade]

The Guy was Where a Pink Sock, he got what he gets

[thebudgetgamer]

(giggles)

[RickHiggity]

lol. He lost a shoe

[Motorola]

I swear he was gonna shout "DONT TASE ME BRO"

[UnSelf]

LMAOO

[danielle007]

is why you pre-order games, bitches.

But no, that was kinda funny. "You better try harder, bitch!"

But, I really wouldn't call it police brutality. The only reason that guy went down so hard was because he was super drunk. & I bet it didn't even really hurt.

[slave2Dcontroller]

how you have to handle 360 boys that wear pink socks. The cold part is he paid $5 in advance to get his ass handed to him. EnD sArC

POLICE BRUTALITY! LAWSUIT!

[awi5951]

Your and retard studies has shown there are more whites on welfare than all the black people combined in the us. So most of the people on welfare are white because there are so many of them.And most of the blacks that are on welfare work they just down earn enough to get over the poverty line.

[gcolley]

now take a survey in jail.

[boredgamer1990]

Should have smacked the little bitch around some more maybe sprayed him with pepper spray....that would be cool

[Proeliator]

Did he say RDM?

[Wolfie]

Good job! :)

[Rybakov]

best midnight ever wish that happened here

probs to the cops

[pwnd_of_lol]

police attack anyone anywhere ,u can see police brutality everywhere you go. they are power hungry assholes ;)

http://rebelyogi.com/wp-con...

[P_Bomb]

Tell them that next time you find yourself in trouble and need their help. Don't call 911, call Aaron Greenberg.

Guy got exactly what he deserved. The real world ain't like XBox Live. No one wants to put up with belligerent drunk idiots grandstanding, except maybe other belligerent drunk idiots.

[cb4g]

Or have you seen some videos on the internet and based your entire opinion on police solely on those videos - whilst remaining totally ignorant to their positive contributions to society which, sadly, do not make it to youtube.

[lolzers]

That cop had some training from his brother!

[LoaMcLoa]

That's a strange marketing o_-

[GaMe01]

You guys should be glad the cop took him down

People like this end up driving and killing innocent people , I have a 4 year old niece that died by a drunk driver . the driver ended up only hurt with a few minor scratches.

Too many people die by drunk drivers

[heroprotagonist]

True. I absolutely agree that the guy needed to be arrested and taken out of the place. I just think the officer could have easily accomplished that goal with less force. At least that is the way it looked in the video.

[DarkBlood]

huh least there was no big gears of war dudes handling this arrest

[archemides518]

should have just went to best buy, over there 15 people in line no preorder needed, gamestop like 300+ and they don't got ur preorder in stock cuz they sell it to someone else anyway

[Jack-Pyro]

Funny, at my Midnight all we had was a nerf gun fight in the parking lot.....Fun Times!

[Acquiescence]

Cops should beat up Halo players more often. Even if they aren't drunk.

[JRobes]

That kid had it coming... and I totally agree with what some other post on here said about he parents should have done the same. Our country is going to hell because of the piece of s*** kids like this who think they own the whole world because they learned to talk back to their parents without the parents ever stepping up and taking the "parent" role. If I were there and the cop allowed me to curb-stomp that kid while he was in cuffs laying down I would totally do it with no hesitation.

[SnakePlissken]

Actually its the other way around. This country is going to sh@t because of cops and the government!!! Get it straight, kids arent in control of this country. Cops and our fucked up government are!!!

[JRobes]

Look at today's youth... can you honestly say that you don't think that they are little spoiled sh**s that have no respect for anyone? I agree that our government is a big part of our crap-hole of a country but we vote for our politicians based on publicity... and Obama got a lot of it. Advertising runs our world because people are getting too lazy to research things on their own and would rather be spoon-fed news that has been twisted by the news-broadcasting companies. I would also agree that some cities (most major cities) have corrupt cops but this kid still had no reason to act like that. Luckily I grew up in a moderate sized city with a decent local government and police force. In my hometown I would still help put this kid under control.

[Johnny Jiron]

Carrot Top NOOOOOOO

[OwnageDC650]

They were out of Halo Reach copies but not out of ass whoopings!!!

[reddragon_kb]

Clean arrest. Good job. Not the cops fault that the guy was stupid.

[Holeran]

Maybe let the cop have his way with Evilblackcat hehe

[ReBurn]

It's a shame that the video doesn't show what the kid did to deserve getting arrested. Clever editing. Always trying to make the cops look bad.

[MGRogue2017]

I love the part where he gets slammed to the floor.. That must have hurt the poor dude at least a little bit. >.<

Also, That's really cool another person was recording this.. :)

[n4gno]

"It only does drunk red(hair)necks kids"

[Rhapsody_]

I wish i had one of those cops around when i work weekend night's, i often feel like body-slamming fools but i value my job :)
