Minneapolis Police Officer to Muslim Teen: I'm Going To Break Your Leg, I Feel Like Arresting You

[ClosedCaption]

MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) -

When officers ordered him out of the car, a young man hit record on his smartphone, and he captured not-so-polite words from police.

"Plain and simple, if you f--- with me, I'm going to break your leg before you get the chance to run. I'm being honest I don't screw around,” the officer said.

Mohamed's friend said in return, “I never said I was going to run.”

"I'm just giving you a heads up. Just trying to be officer friendly right now,” the officer said.

Faysal Mohamed, 17, sent Fox 9 the video recorded by his friend, which he also posted on his Twitter account. He said after playing basketball at the YMCA on Blaisdell Avenue in south Minneapolis with friends on March 18, police pulled over their car. The four were ordered out, put in hand cuffs, and they waited nearly 45 minutes as police searched their vehicle and did background checks.

“Can you tell me why I'm being arrested?” a friend asks in the video.

“Because I feel like arresting you,” the officer replied.

Officers eventually told them they were suspected of stealing the car and they were let go without being arrested. Mohamed and his friends are of Somali descent and said they feel they were racially profiled, but also said the officer was simply disrespectful without a reason. A Minneapolis police spokesperson said the incident is under investigation and they are unable to comment.

Mylan Masson, a former Minneapolis Police Officer, now teaches at the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Education Center in Brooklyn Park.

“We teach the students to be polite, and we always say sir and ma'am,” she said.

Masson said the other officers in the video did just that, but the lone officer heard using profanities and making a threat is not the way police are trained to handle traffic stops.

“I certainly would want to know the whole call and see what happened, what provoked him or her to do something and then to retrain them and then say this is not appropriate,” Masson said.

The Minneapolis Police Department keeps record of all traffic stops, but asked Fox 9 to file a data practices request before they can release more information. Masson says depending on the officer's history, he could be given some type of reprimand.

The Somalis should be glad we let them in since they intend to make our cities into Mogadishu if they can.

I know...I love the thesaurus of terms you guys use! I think the cop was helping them with their back alignment with the cuffs. They should be grateful they could've pulled something after playing b-ball! Huzzah!

I'd find being put in cuffs and detained for the best part of an hour without charge something to expect in a police state.

Sounds like a story here, cops see a car with a paper tag, window broke out. So the cops blue light him. He takes off and the cops stop the chase. A couple miles down the road he hits another car and is killed. Parents were claiming profiling. Tragic that it happened, but if he didn't run he would still be alive. So caption are these cops wrong?

Cops were doing their job.
If all you have to complain about is the cop telling the kid he'd break his leg if he ran,you need to get a life.
