Those cops should be body slammed, handcuffed and fired! Now! What sorry representatives for law enforcement personnel. No cause for abusing the man and his son, who will hate cops the rest of his life. Great work. This is Marxist behavior!
P.S. Watonga is a city in Blaine County, Oklahoma. The population was 5,111 within 4 square miles. It is a small safe town….apparently with some power crazed cops.
Watch a filed entitled SILENCED by UK Journalist Tommy Robinson. Right now I believe only RUMBLE has NOT BANNED IT. It’s about two hours but watch it to the end. After watching that, I think I won’t be so fast to judge without knowing the whole story anymore.
if it’s summer and temps rise to 90-100 degrees, early morning is when it’s comfortable out. heck, that’s when people bike, walk, jog. by the way they are all dressed, it appears to be the case. cops way wrong here.
Since when are you required to have identification on you to go for a morning walk? Is that where this is going… Police basically saying we can’t even walk out our homes without ID? The only time you need ID is when you’re behind the wheel of your car or traveling on an international flight, that’s it
Really? How do you think police officers stop child abductions? For heavens sake they are there to protect and serve how did they know it wasn’t a child abduction??? I wonder if such a big deal would be made if it had turned out to be ? I would rather have the police err on the side of caution then to read of another child taken !!!! All these people who are so against our police officers in America should live for awhile in an area where there are no police no 911 no one to stop road rage or rapes or break ins and muggings. We are so blessed here! Give them the respect and cooperation they deserve
I for one am not against police. I am against police who mishandle simple encounters by escalating unnecessarily, and who assume someone is a criminal for simply going on a walk with their kid.
There was so many ways that encounter could have been handled differently - by the police and the father. I do not understand how the father reacted I would not be upset at all if I was asked for ID and I would do everything I could to cooperate and show my son this is how we treat policemen who are here to help us. Why did he not do that? Call his son over take his hand and let the police know calmly that his son is autistic and was a policeman for Halloween and if they just followed them home he could show them ID. I look at it from the parents perspective. Don’t always put the blame on someone else. Police are supposed to be suspicious as I said it could have been a child abduction look at other cases where police have let things go and turns out it was not as innocent at it seemed
You’re right hard to watch poor baby crying. And although I usually take ID with me on a walk sometimes I don’t. We don’t have to. But honestly I think that at first the officers were pretty polite and the man was a little belligerent not sure if that is the right word but it just seems he wasn’t respectful or he was immediately suspicious and resentful. So officers are supposed to be suspicious but we civilians are supposed to be cooperative yes? They are simply doing their job if the man did not have ID he could have turned his pockets inside out he could have asked his son to come over and hold his hand and say hello to the policeman. If the son had dressed up as a policeman for Halloween twice this could have been a teaching encounter. The officers didn’t know that or that he was autistic. The father could have explained all that and made it a much better encounter. I agree the officers could also have done some different things like one walking home with them one following in the patrol car. Many different ways this could have turned out but honestly as I am a parent I take the view of what the father could have done better. Prayers for all. Hope this doesn’t blow up but maybe if it isn’t constantly restocked as a man being Slammed to the ground I mean that was a simple move and he was even held so he didn’t hit the ground.
We can argue all day long about how this was handled. I have led autism training sessions for our local police and firefighters so they can see how unusual our lives are. Police are trained to spot the things that are “off”. Our lives consist of things that are “off”. What is weird to a typical family is often extremely normal for a family of an autistic person. The key is training. Add into their equation the things we do for the health and safety and sanity of the family so they learn to at least wonder if it’s “autism” before assuming it’s nefarious. You can’t be mad at them for doing what they know.
No there are truly good men and women who do want to protect and serve. No one puts their life on the line for the few dollars they are paid or for a power kick. Get real who are you going to call when you need help? Live somewhere where you have no police protection and see what that’s like
I had retired PD tell me the department had gone to crap years prior in this particular town. It’s understood now. Now it just steer clear of them and keep my happy go lucky ways. And thank you.
I understand that often our opinions are shaped by our own experiences. I have known people on both sides so to speak of the law friends that were on a collision path clearly leading a life of crime and friends that seem to keep returning to prison as well as friends who are Peace Officers. My best friend from HS is a police officer and another life long friend’s uncle killed off duty stopped to help a motorist by a drunk driver. In and on I know each one of us have had our own experiences. It is hard to see all the facets and try to work together but a little love goes a long way I think Take care friend
It’s a free country. This is a no walking zone muthafuckah.
Those cops should be body slammed, handcuffed and fired! Now! What sorry representatives for law enforcement personnel. No cause for abusing the man and his son, who will hate cops the rest of his life. Great work. This is Marxist behavior!
This hurts my heart!!! We need to be able to trust police these days! They should make a formal apology to this man and his son.

Horrible. Take him home. Get his ID. What’s happened to common sense and decency?
I walked with my son that early due to the heat of the day.
If the man decides to sue I will donate at least $100 to the effort

I hope after they're sued and kicked off the force they get an old fashioned Oklahoma ass whooping for pulling that.
Anyone else think this could have been handled by police better? I don’t take my id out when I take a walk or bike ride.
Unfortunately most cops are bad cops. The profession attracts the worst people.
No
Deplorable policing
Police are not there to protect and serve. That’s propaganda. Lawsuits have been filed proving this unfortunately.
As stated in “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars” they are nothing more than foot soldiers for the Inbred Elites in the big picture.
In reality society is in such decline situations like this will be commonplace.

Not trying find them. Had 2 unfortunate experiences with in the last year without trying. Attitude was off the charts. You’re very fortunate.
