Call was someone was trying to commit suicide. The girl clearly is way bigger then the officer idk just don't call cops if you feel like its not gonna help

They are both fine. She was in danger. Mother flipped out for minute. Let's move on

Message to American police - Black people are not escaping slaves. You need to stop this domestic terrorism!!!

Black America don't have police who protect them. Instead the are a state funded murder squad!

Why do American police attempt to murder black Americans that pay their wages?

this is sexual assault and attempted murder!!!!!!!!!!

What is police training? If you see a black person cuff em, pin them to the ground squeeze the life out of them. And anyone who tries to interfere if they're black should also be cuffed if they survive arrest them for trying to stop you committing murder!

What pigs do best

We didn't see what happened before she was on the ground. That was left our on purpose. This was a set up.

Parlimentrians or public leaders are also under obligation of article 5 of Constitution as such they should not make hate speak while they are appearing in public gathering. It is also contravantion of chapter 1 and 2 of the Constitution of Pakistan 1973.

Let’s turn this around. A black male officer straddling a white female teen. Now keep defending it.

Well out of order!!!!

The police officer sounded calm & soft spoken while talking to the girl at the beginning of the clip. It seems like the situation scaled up when other people got involved, challenging the officer. That is a No-No when dealing with police whether you are Afr-Am, white or other.

Do people of colors enjoy human rights in the country of tower of democracy?

TX AG, has already publicly humiliated a representative of America in the Olympic Games. Now, it seems as though humiliating young women is Standard Operating Procedures. Well, it’s time to STOP the nonsense! No wonder our athletes/citizens suffer in silence

Criminals with badges and guns

The deputy looks like he's 10 years old, does his mammy know that he's out playing police officer.

This is a prime example demonstrating why untrained cops should not be handling calls involving mental health issues. They only make matters worse because they lack the skills needed to handle the mentally ill!

Ever since the George Floyd incident no one can breathe. At this point anyone who says it on the ground with a clear airway should be fined because it is just getting old. She could clearly breathe and the cop was restraining her. What a bs lawyer and a bs news arricle!!

I'm sure she could breath just fine when she was causing trouble

This looks like sexual assault

Only CNN would post crap like this. No one knows what exactly went on.

Shame CNN! This is so misleading. The officers involved probably kept her alive. If she walked into traffic and pleaded with someone to kill her, she needed a psych eval. It is common to put a person in a hold until you are certain they aren’t in danger.

Context please. Don’t just read the headline.. which is used to scare people.

What happened before this pic was taken was a young girl told the deputy she was ok and was going home. The deputy chose to once again, escalate the encounter, all this mess could have been avoided!!

Smfh a punk ass rookie, and this reeks of SEXUAL ASSAULT, WTF

Its difficult to come to any other conclusion than the obvious which is a racist sexually perverted police officer.

If you’re yelling I can’t breathe……you can breathe. If you’re silent then you’re not breathing. SMH. 🤡

Vui tính nhưng dễ nhạy cảm.

Lawsuit. Until cops get it, sue them

Is he laying on top of her, omg! Why is this cop laying on top of her, that position is sexual, no ifs and or buts about it. Uncaused for.

I know that to alot of people this looks sexual but it really isn't. That's why so many called the ufc gay for all those years.

lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, This is so funny! 'I can't breath'? All you have to do is....open your mouth, and take a breath. plus, you're probably STILL walking around, so you ain't DEAD.

Where’s that position in the training manual?

Shameful conduct for officer.

Elle aurait dû crier au viol...ou tout simplement ajuste son pied de droit au milieu.. et dire respirer a found Monsieur..

VP This the reason why china is ignoring 🇺🇸 U.S rhetorical lectures on Human rights and democracy

So here’s my question, is this the way he was trained, I’m just asking? Maybe we should start jumping on them like this. Police men need more training. Oh but wait, what happened to a Bill that’s supposed to support Afro-American’s? We always,

murderers in Uniform ....

I kind of get what he was trying to do (read the article……) but his actions show how crappy police training is in the US of A.

He is now being investigated. Good

Oh no deja vu o.O

America will soon implode due to the race issue regardless of whether this nonsense continues or stops.

Really?. people

Oy tubs of fun, when someone says ‘I can’t breath’ maybe take that as a sign to-oh, I don’t know-getoff?!

Looks like sexual assault to me!

It’s Odd more whites are killed by cops every year, more whites arrested and assaulted than those of color, yet CNN only shows arrest of those color. I know some white teens that were abuse but of course it’s not of interest to CNN

Read the article before you comment!!!

cool, now where are the protests? where is the commotion? where's the 'white lives matter' all bullshit! leftist movements with political narrative that use dumb people through sentimentality to promote disorder and raise their controlling agendas in government.

He wants to repeat George Floyd’s action towards a lady and make history

No way cops should be responding to these types of calls. Tired of seeing cops escalate these instances, then charge everyone with felonies for reasonable interfering. EndQualifiedImmunity Police Tyranny PoliceState KaufmanCountySheriff POTUS GOP

no mask on cop

I don’t believe it. They don’t treat blacks with the same respect they treat whites when been questioned. A white personne would have been talked with respect, but when it’s a black person, every training they learned, will be applied. Morons and racists idiots!

Read the article and once again bad policing by a white cop. They are so quick with their so called techniques and quick to get the guns and cuffs on black people .

I think they should of just let her stay in the road and get hit. Defund everything and everyone for themselves.

Lock him up

Lovk him up

Why was she arrested. I want the full story

Such a violation

Maybe she should listen next time? Haven’t we learned our lesson yet?

Thank You CNN for gas lighting this topic, without full context, and further dividing and creating mistrust. Highlighting that which will most assuredly cause more angst between police and civilians.

There are a lot of bad cops in this country. But it doesn't mean they are all bad. We just saw four in front of Congress Monday that we should hope represent the majority. This photo needs context. Nothing in the accompanying story tells us this officer did anything wrong.

LOL....”I can’t breathe”......going to be the cry by all arrested....

Oh. We’re doing these again?

The way you framed this tweet, given all of the details of the story, is so fucking outrageous. My god

It’s a position the dept trains them to use. He was stopping her from running in front of cars hoping an innocent driver would kill her. If people continually approach an officer after being told to back off, they too will be handcuffed and or arrested. Show the video please.

Thank you, police!

Florida and Texas seem to be in competition for the shittiest state.

An 18-year-old is a TEENAGER not a woman. Do better
