In the affidavit, Krickovich said that he and his partner Sgt. Greg LaCerra responded to a call from a McDonald’s in Tamarac, Fl, at 3 p.m. on Thursday after employees reported a large group of teenagers gathering for a fight outside the restaurant. He wrote that the McDonald's was a popular after-school gathering place for students from a nearby high school and the scene of frequent fights — including an incident the day before that had caused damage to a bystander's car.
“While I was dealing with the male on the ground, I observed his phone slide to the right of me and then behind me. I observed a teen wearing a red tank top reach down and attempt to grab the male student’s phone,” Krickovich wrote. LaCerra pepper-sprayed the teen in the face and forced him to the ground, Krickovich wrote. There were more than 200 students in the crowd, according to Krickovich, and this is when many of them started recording the incident on their phones.
You mean he aggressively picked up a phone?
When are those that are employed to serve and protect actually do so. Every timeI get pulled over I go into a state of panic because I am Puerto Rican and every time one of the officers say or do some racist shit. So I do this.
It's funny how officers can arrest a white child who just massacred students at his school and they don't feel threatened, but when it comes to a black teen with a cell phone, they have to slam his face into concrete.
What the officer took as an “aggressive stance” is documented on video as the teenager bending over and picking up the phone. Really?!?
browardsheriff You must NOT ALLOW this abuse to go unpunished! It's quite clear that these men have NO BUSINESS in the job they are in. The job of Law Enforcer doesn't include abuse of power against any individual! They MUST BE FIRED and held accountable for the ACTION!
“He was acting aggressive” with a face full mace!!! GTFO
I will never understand men who choose a job of high danger feel threatened by a child.
Why do you put 15 year old 'Black' boy Why not just 15 year old boy?
Do they know what “video” means?
**aggressively**
It is not always due to racism. Sometimes they are just scared of people they arrest regardless of the race. One thing for sure needs to be in every police officer: Courage
Yeah you gotta watch them 15 year olds these days
