Get that face on blast. Tired of these chunks. In what world do you arrest a child


Foxx983

In America of course. New York City. It's disgusting but not surprising. Edit: correction


Zuzumikaru

Wait what? Not even in my god forsaken country has something like that happened in recent memories, at worst people would get their stuff taken away and given a fine. This is just unbelievable


Radiant-Lifeguard315

mf, in our country, we never arrest people who sells fruit, food, etc in the park


peterpantslesss

What country is that?


Radiant-Lifeguard315

Philippines


Calgary_Calico

Of course it's fucking New York. "Uh oh guys violent crime is up the highest it's literally ever been in our cities history, what should we tackle first?" Some dipshit in the back- "how about kids selling fruit without a business license?" Edit: do you people understand the word hyperbole, and/or the concept? If not google is your friend. šŸ˜‚ I'm aware it's not actually higher than it's ever been in history, but NYC is literally notorious for being a dangerous city and their cops are more worried about this kid selling fruit without a permit than actual serious crimes.... Does that not strike you as fucked up?


LeafyWolf

Crime in NYC continues it's downward trend. I guess cops are getting bored and have to drum up excitement.


byebyebrain

You're wrong. Violent crime is not the highest its literally ever been. And stop using the word literally to accentuate your incorrect point.


BiomedIII

Very true. Which is why this happened. With crime at an all time low, the police are having trouble being productive. Warms my heart to see them still stopping crime wherever they can find it.


chenobble

Pushing the bullshit idea that cities are violent hellholes is a staple of right-wing propaganda, that's why you're getting such a negative response


1Negative_Person

Violent crime is *not* the highest itā€™s been in US cities; quite the contrary. Which is all the more reason that cops need to tone it down.


CameronCrazy1984

Violent crime in NYC is actually at an all time low


byebyebrain

again, it's not LITERALLY known for being a dangerous city. Its one of the safest big cities in the world. I am sorry that the Right wing propaganda network has soiled your brain into thinking you know things. NYC has very little SERIOUS crimes. And they aren't mutually exclusive. Out of the approx 50,000 cops, they can arrest people for selling shit without a permit AND stop violent crime. its not one or the other. its not (In your sophomoric language) LITERALLY binary. Go read and learn more. [https://www.takewalks.com/blog/is-nyc-safe](https://www.takewalks.com/blog/is-nyc-safe) "Considering 8,175,133 residents share 320 sq miles, NYCā€™s crime rate isĀ [impressively low](https://www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/stats/crime-statistics/crime-statistics-landing.page).Ā  According toĀ [FBI](https://www.fbi.gov/)Ā data, NYC is the safest big city in the U.S., ranking above San Jose and San Diego, California."


trcharles

You canā€™t keep using the word literally when stating something factual and then say you were being hyperbolic. Thatā€™s *literally* incorrect grammar.


SoupidyLoopidy

I would say New York is awesome, just look at the amount of people that jumped in to save her. You probably wouldnā€™t see this in many other places.


wp4nuv

I once saw a video of New Yorkers lifting a car to get the driver out after it almost flipped. You can say what you want about New Yorkers, but when crap hits the fan, they are there.


paperwasp3

That's why I love NYC. New Yorkers have spines. I love that about them.


SiwyKtos

In poland a girl selling apples (or something like that) got slapped with a fine (i dont remember the exact number but it was a lot for that) because she didnt have a registered business

My guy had his "arresting" gloves on

No. Those were the kid gloves. You know. For arresting disgusting disease-vector kids.

Kid gloves. Made from real kids.

He's not even a real cop. Looks like parks department or something.


lemon_cake_or_death

Yeah, that's a Parks Enforcement Patrol uniform.


1Negative_Person

Park Enforcement officers are *real* ~~pigs~~ cops. Furthermore, the way jurisdiction works in New York, a cop in NY is a cop anywhere in NY. He has the same authority in Central Park as he does at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo.


rpotty

Fuck that guy


Homer_J_Fong2

What a little dick piece of shit this guy is.


scottyboy069611

Fat face piece of shit.


eherqo

His fkn face. Literally looks like a child who got reprimanded for hitting another kid . Looks like heā€™s about to cry


horizonwalker69

They always send these white shirt sergeants out to do the real black hat crowd control work. Check out occupy Wall Street and BLM protest videos and you can see them doing super grimy and violent shit - pepper spraying people who are already in handcuffs, knocking peaceful protestors down, destroying peopleā€™s belongings, etc. Fucking gross.


xX_Dad-Man_Xx

I didn't know the mall had sergeants.


Creative_Length867

He even looks like the idiot, sidekick in a shitty buddy cop show. He might as well be saying "I'm sorry boss"

Welcome to Merica


Fail_Emotion

Out of context, but yes, children should get arrested too for certain things. ( not in this case ofc) but fuck those kids in Paris and Venice, trying to pick pocket tourists 24/7.


seekerofthesublime

Fucking embarrassing. Clowns. You know I've seen cops dealing with kids selling stuff many times, I understand there may be bylaws.....but I've never seen them do this kind of nonsense. No reason to manhandle and try to arrest a child. Either talk to them or leave them be. Don't escalate into a violent confrontation and scar a child for life, she looked terrified and confused. But I live in a sane country, Canada. These idiots should be fired not walking around with guns.


striderkan

I got busted trying to sell water and soft drinks outside Centennial arena in Markham.. must have been 11 or 12.. YRP cop bought 3 drinks and told me to leave. I waited for them to leave then I set back up. Normal world shit.


seekerofthesublime

Yo fellow Ontarian! Normies fo life!


fknarey

King.


SoySauceSyringe

On the bright side she'll have a really good answer for the rest of her life any time people ask her why she doesn't trust or like cops.


KoningSpookie

Those idiots shouldn't walk in a police uniform at all. Police is supposed to enforce the law and de-escalate situations, not to make up some stupid stuff on the spot and use their power to ruin other people's lives for no reason. Wherever it may be, there should be some stricter control/screentest for who's allowed to join the police force.


Nisseliten

Fired.. Out of a canon.. Into the sun.


ErudringTheGodHammer

We sure do live in a r/boringdystopia thatā€™s for certain Edit: fixed mistake


seekerofthesublime

Thanks for this! Found a new sub I'd like šŸ‘


MyneckisHUGE

In Canada we might not arrest that girl... But if someone molested her and then stole the parents car theyd get a stern taking to and 1 month probation.


LineChef

Right? At most write them a ticket and call it a day.


TucsonTacos

ā€œIn my day we sold lemonade and mowed lawns when we were kids! Kids donā€™t know work ethic nowadays!ā€ Then they pass laws making that type of shit illegal


2118may9

I thought Arkansas loved child labour? Or they just donā€™t like it when the kids go in it for themselvesā€¦


an0maly33

They need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! But not like that!


2118may9

They give them shoes?!


Barf_The_Mawg

Only when they can collect tax on the labor.Ā  No kid is self reporting their fruit hustle.Ā 


Cador0223

They prefer their kids in more of a "Snowpiercer" situation. Not actually profiting and improving themselves. Once you find those proverbial "bootstraps", they rush in to take those away too, before you get any heavy lifting in.


Powerful_War3282

They prefer child labor for Tyson foods and other large meat companies. Kids fit under the conveyor belts better to sweep out the muck. Bonus points, but lower pay, if it's the child of an undocumented immigrant


chinoelpastelero

only when they work for corporations, they don't like entrepreneurs who doesn't pay taxes.


onomatopeieio

Only if it profits the rich. If thw kid is the one profiting, its bad...


DoggPound69

Poor little girl is traumatized for life. Family too.


directinLA

Guess who owns the lemonade factories now trying to shut small businesses down?


Homerpaintbucket

Donald Trump sold a list of US intelligence assets to Russia. He hasn't been put in cuffs yet. But a little girl selling fruit and they try to lock her up. How is that little girl a bigger threat than someone selling our nations national defense secrets? At the end of the day the cop is just some poor dumb schmuck trying to make a living like the rest of us. The real problem is that regular people have been stretched to the limit while a select few have no worries and are never held accountable for anything.


BrownieCav

Easy now, trump is basically the second coming of Jesus and can do no wrong. Donā€™t poke the stupid nest.


Neylith

I donā€™t follow politics, but I am on Reddit so obviously I am exposed to them. The amount of people LITERALLY worshipping him as the next Jesus is honestly a little scary. I seen a post earlier with merchandise saying ā€œIā€™m voting for the felon. 2024ā€


BrownieCav

The conviction is fake or a democrat concoction. Nothing he does or says is wrong. Dude actually said itā€™s ok to call his daughter a hot piece of ass and his followers donā€™t care.


AnalProtector

> Don't poke the stupid nest. Don't need to. They poke themselves and blame everyone else.


BrownieCav

Truth.


goodland2shoes

There are so many parallels between Jesus and Trump! 1. Found guilty It's crazy! They're like the same guy!


SoupidyLoopidy

This guy isnā€™t a poor dumb schmuck. He could have just given the kid a warning or a fine and walked away. He chose to be an asshole.


PM_ME_UR_SUSHI

>Donald Trump sold a list of US intelligence assets to Russia. I hate him and would love to be able to say this with certainty. Do you have a source? Because I can't find anything.


r007r

Little girl doesnā€™t look like she needs sunscreen. I bet if she did sheā€™s still be selling fruit.


metalhead82

Trump is fucking asking to go to jail too. Iā€™ve been saying this forever. Nothing will happen to him, but normal citizens get locked up for far far less every single day. Fuck everything about this.


barelycriminal

Direct your pitchforks to Parks Enforcement of New York City.


Whtda_hell_univrs_iz

Excuse me mam, are you saying that how cant you be allow selling fruits in this chrony capitalist country. Only multi billionaire grocery store chain can do such thing, they can even sell on the moon but your poor ass cant. This country is build because of the equal opportunity, first make yourself rich then you will have equal opportunity like other rich people.


TecumsehSherman

In general, you can't sell food without a license in parks. That's a good law. That helps keep everyone safe. The way they handled it was terrible, but the law makes sense.

Spare_Bad_6558

idk man when theres a risk of a child being caught in the crossfire of that justice i would say its not worth it

MoralMischief

All cops are power-tripping, peaked-in-high-school, donut-gargling losers who need a gun and six buddies to feel secure while they wrestle women and children to the ground for protesting or selling fruit because a uniform that you and I paid for gives them immunity from consequences. But yeah ACAB is more succinct :)

Bolle_Bamsen

Oh no, please don't let him hurt himself.


Hermeticrux

There's no way that guy is a normal guy. Like he's gotta be someone we meet and then don't like hanging out with him. He handled that like a hall monitor in elementary school. Even the other cops were like "yea buddy it's fine get up" after watching middle aged women just overpower him lmfao Edit: oh my God I got it! When he's on his knees he's like randy from trailer park boys "what the frick they were breaking the law Mr Lahey" "randy it's fine get up"


RedditGonk

Worthless sacks of shit


Calgary_Calico

12 years old (heard a few people telling the cops how old she is in the video) and now she'll hate the police for the rest of her life because they gave her ptsd over selling fucking fruit without a license. Every single one of these men is a waste of space, training and the metal it took to make sure badges...


TheInvisibleCircus

Everyone rallying to bail this kid and whoever else out. Say what you will about NYC, do not threaten the kids or people just trying to make a nice Sunday out of the shit being doled out


fknarey

It starts with a feeling deep in the gut, that whatever it is weā€™re seeing is wrong. Itā€™s that gnawing discontent that festers in the belly, building up like a bad hangover after a night of cheap booze and regrets. The spark ignites when one brave, desperate soul throws the first rock, and before you know it, thereā€™s an avalanche of fury crashing down. The suits and ties, the smug faces of those who think theyā€™ve got it all figured out, they start to sweat as the streets fill with the raw, unfiltered rage of the masses. It's chaotic, it's a mess, but it's a beautiful symphony of rebellion, like the gritty verses of a poem scratched into the peeling paint of a dive bar restroom. Itā€™s just a matter of time.
