Careful boys, he’s got a fucking broom!
What a bunch of pathetic larpers.
Actual larper here, the word you’re looking for is little bitches. Most larps are all about getting in close and whacking the other person with a melee weapon. Real larpers would be way more effective than the cops here.
Can anyone give context to what is happening apart from the ridiculous use of force and manpower?
No, but I just wanna correct some phrasing for you;
Those aren’t men, those are fuckboy bitches. There’s only one man in this video, and he gets jumped by a bunch of fuckboy bitches and their dog.
In all likelihood, it is probable he is just a dude having a really fucked up day and somebody decided that the cops needed to be called. Whatever the reason they were called, the response was wildly out of proportion almost certainly and exclusively because of the color of his skin.
tldr: he had hit a parking lot attendant twice in the head with the stick earlier. The police tried using less lethal methods but failed to accomplish anything with that and so sent the dog. The headline says he had a knife but it’s not mentioned anywhere in the body of the story.
Re: knifeman in the title.
Probably just really lazy editing and not understanding the actual story. It says he struck the parking attendant with a broken cane causing lacerations.
I mean… A broken piece of wood can be sharp enough to pierce/slash the skin. Lacerations usually means knife but either AI or the editor skimmed the article and modified the headline to be more outstanding and made it factually incorrect.
It also says he was later tracked down and found wielding the 6 foot stick, so the video only shows said stick and would not include the cane from earlier.
“sawn off cane” so still just a stick
Tried to use less than lethal methods according to the police statement and the New York Post reporting on said statement.
Melanin count was dangerously high.
This guy’s melanin levels is off the chart! It’s over 9000!
Makes you the chosen ones. Like with midichlorians but shittier in experience
Cops saw a black guy and thought, “Yee Haw! We got us a chance to do that thing Terry was talkin’ about at the Klan meeting last night!”
The trigger discipline of that cop…
Against a guy who has… a stick?
Where I’m from the police probably would be under inspection for just pulling the gun out.
American police are the violence arm of the American Apartheid. They exist only to suppress black and brown people, and occasionally enforce the law when low income white people do something heinous to other white people of equal or greater economic background.
We can only dream
I counted at least 14 brave men in uniform cowering behind one of their giant freedom trucks in response to a man with a stick (who seems to be distraught, or having a mental health crisis). Such an arse-backwards country.
He wasn’t even hitting that dog with the stick, just trying to stop it from biting him.

" I know it was terrifying! I shit myself!" -Cops
I’m willing to bet he shit himself before the encounter.
You don’t understand, it was covered in fentanyl
I’m surprised the dog didn’t steal it
He was even trying to avoid hitting the dog because he clearly did not want to hurt it.
America is lost.
Black and has a stick?!
Call in the reinforcements boys, we’ve got a national security threat on our hands.
Nice that he didn’t hit the dog with the stick, just used it to keep the dog away
The dog is the bravest pig.
I feel bad for cop dogs, they’re the only ones legitimately “just following orders.”
They don’t know they’re fascists, poor guys.
yeah, every dog instinct would have been to rush to the guy and then asking for him to throw the stick! Look how brainwashed this poor guy is
Dogs either know they’re fascists or can’t actually conceive of an alternative mode of being. They don’t even let eachother eat without a fight.
Goddam pigs are such cowards.
“Lets hide behind this bulletproof car in case he throws his breadstick at us”. Afterall, US police have decades of experience playing the victim, their training aligns with it.
Wow, unbelievable bravery, good thing they took him down before that nuclear stick exploded.
Ho hey. Thanks for making me chuckle thinking of the actual nuclear sticks that almost caused criticality
At least they didn’t just shoot him like they did that kid in NY.
Not a tazer among them, apparently.

I see at least 2 tazers on the cops at the beginning.
Obviously they jump on the chance to pull out their weapons and start blasting.
My reference was to the kid they shot. I can’t believe none of these clowns couldn’t taze him. Or hit him with a firehose. I’m not advocating for police brutality in a different form, but christ…three different LEO angencies responded and they couldn’t come up with a different way other than put a bullet in the kid. Cops are fucking stupid.
They lost them to make room for the power gloves
