Cops who act like this should be fired, period.

[dashcamvideos]

That crazy lunatic cop needs to be fired and charged with assault.

[bernierandolph]

There's more children added to the list of people who will grow up to HATE police. And with total reason.

[davidellis]

This was blatant Police misconduct. All the stress & abuse over an item from a dollar store. Terrible behavior.

[honkymonkey]

regardless of how far apart he spread his legs, it never would have been far enough for the cop.

[robertfreeman]

The cop who kicked the guy should be in jail.

[FeyTheBin]

Thank goodness there were witnesses to record the incident this time.

How can she reach for a weapon if she's holding a baby?!

[peterxiong]

Every officer involved not only deserve to be fired, but deserve to have criminal charges put against them.

[markg]

Great country 👍 guns drawn for a couple bucks worth of stuff. Shameful

[RiversBliss]

What's there to investigate when it's recorded?

[shirleyanngilbreath]

Ok so for an alleged suspicion of a stole doll, they attempt to shoot her, really

[Nooreissad]

If they got a call about stealing why tf would they have guns drawn on a shoplifter?

[jaydawg]

That has been happening for decades. THANK GOD FOR

[richardbailey]

The police are out if control in the U.S.

[sympadm]

The saddest part was when she was forced to give the baby to a complete stranger.

[janeiam]

Cops... don’t forget you are in position to serve and protect civilians.

Don’t for a minute think you are above the law.

[Learnow]

So sad! Human rights violation. They didn't even care about the children.

[alanmorris]

If there was an armed bank robbery, these same cops would be hiding behind trees and underneath cars. They only behave this way when no one poses a threat. They need to be fired.

[keekee]

🤷🏽‍♀️ #HoldUp wait a minute did the cop point his gun at the child as she was stepping out the back of the car or is my mind playing tricks on me 🧐🤔
