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.

Fire the officer.

Of all the shit going on in the world you're gonna whine about this?
Why was it that in my youth when we got harassed by the cops we just laughed it off when it was over?

Just a few individuals rights being violated shouldnt matter...we should be focused on other rights being violated because this^^ shithead said so.

They didnt get beat up,they didnt go to jail....nothing happened.
They were suspected of driving a stolen car,got stopped searched and released .
I was shaken down by the cops in my youth dozens of times yet we didnt cry like little bitches.
Good God you're a pussy!!

Congratulations! I think thats actually a virtue when you let people fuck you over and dont "complain". It shows true grit

So you are a pussy....

I guess so...on opposite day standing up for yourself is pussy behavior!

Being an adult means you realize that sometimes you have to put up with a little crap in order to have a safe society.
He didnt shoot em,he didnt arrest them and he stopped them for a valid reason...what the fuck are you whining about?
And you can bet the cop has had some experience with the fine up standing youths of America going rabbit on him after stealing a car.

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.

Seems like their job is to enforce a police state. Arrest without charge, cuffing and detaining for the best part of an hour. They've gone rogue.

 

[Delta4Embassy]

Fire the officer. The chief of that department should then write an apology to the people in the vehicle apologising and point out they probably have grounds to sue the ex-officer civilly.

Gonna have to fire him eventually, sooner's better.

The police are now investigating....like some pussies!!

For saying he would break his leg if he ran?
I'm sure he'll get some "sensitivity" training out of it.

I think this was actually the first line in the Book "1984".

You seem mad but the reason isnt apparent. A case of the Mondays?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

You see a bunch of punks driving around in a car with paper tags and a broken window you pull em over.
The cop,for valid reasons,thought the car may have been stolen and as we've all seen a million times on cops and from helicopter chases on the L.A. freeways .....the dudes always run.
And why wouldnt they? It's not their car.....
You have to see it from the cops side. If the car is stolen there's a good chance the thieves are not adverse to carrying a gun since they've already proven they aren't exactly fine up standing citizens.
Nobody got shot,nobody went to jail the cop should apologize for being wrong about his assumptions,but nothing more.

What "provoked" him? The blackness of his victim's skin maybe? You can't train away racism. The other cops (the grown ups) apparently didn't feel so provoked. officer is a liability risk to the department, I'd fire him. He obviously can't wait for the opportunity to beat up or kill some black kids.

 

[cnm]

You have to see it from the cops side.

Not if you're a citizen innocent until proven guilty. Only if you're a serf in a police state.

I'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over this one.

What rights were violated? They were inconvenienced is all.

You are a fucking idiot. Does it HURT to be this fucking stupid, boy?

 

[Jarlaxle]

Did you tug your forelock as you typed that?

Fire the officer.

Fire him, blacklist him for life, and tattoo "BAD COP" on his face.

 

[Mr.Right]

I would just like to remind everyone that this is an isolated incident. Get a grip.

Nah, let's not.

Bunch of whiney ass babies.

Bullshit. If the police detain you, they have a legal obligation to inform you of what crime they suspect you of committing. "I feel like arresting you" doesn't cut it. I don't know the whole situation so I will reserve judgement, but if you are being detained and ask why you are being detained the cop has to tell you the crime you are suspected of and provide reasonable evidence of suspicion.

 

[BluePhantom]

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.

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.

Technically, that's assault.

Complete horse shit. Being a dumb ass means you are willing to put up with shit to have a safe society. We have laws and a constitution and the police are required to obey them just like everyone else.
