“I think the worst thing is in our society is if you were there, you thought it was a better idea to film this other than intervene and stop, that's what's disturbing to me,” said Sgt. Daniel Grubbs.

Williams said he has two kids who are almost teenagers. He said he won’t let them go to the mall alone until they are older. He said he shared his concerns with police and mall security.

“They told me they were going to take measures to implement some more policies to prevent this in the future,” Williams said.

He also added he would like to see more of a police presence

In the past it was no one would call the police because they figured someone else was/would.

Now it's they don't call the police because they too busy filming it for World Star.

I’m kind of tired especially of the police complaining that people are “filming” instead of “intervening”.

Maybe if we were allowed to carry guns in malls, we could “intervene”. Maybe the police could do a better job of intervening. Maybe mall security should like call the cops when there is a fight in the mall, and then try to stop it.

I’d probably try to step in if there were two people fighting (well not probably, I know I would because my daughter and I broke up a fight at a theme park 3 months ago).

If I saw a mob fight, I’m not sure I want to get myself beat up knowing that the mob is going to get away with it. I’d rather film it so there would be proof of who did what, not that they’ll use it to arrest the people or anything.

They are not asking you to break up the fight just call the police if you see it happening. No one even called.

Many malls are dying because they are becoming nothing but places for “teens” to hang out and cause trouble.

I see the police as politicized. They are my enemy, and the enemy of my family.

If I had “intervened”, I would be arrested for a hate crime or, if the police were tardy, simply kicked to death by savages.

I have a family to protect. I’m not gonna be a hero.

The sgt is a doosh and a tool. He is institutionally unable to even utter words describing the root cause.

It appears to be another interracial attack. Am I wrong?

Filming these creates thousands of hours of perfect premade realistic video to use in forthcoming planet of the apes remakes. Dont have to pay actord or use CGI or anything

Thru most the 80s-early 90s malls were usually pretty safe as teen hangouts and there usually weren’t many big/violent fights. Kids were there to just hangout, meetup, window shop and some performers even made promo mini-concert appearances, e.g. “Tiffany”:

“Thru most the 80s-early 90s malls were usually pretty safe as teen hangouts and there usually weren’t many big/violent fights......”

I remember that. We would go to the mall, play video games, buy record albums, look/buy books at the book store. Hangout. Now it’s these feral kids, we know what kind that are making it unsafe.

Again.
Well la di da. Big whoop. That’s mighty white of them.

How about making some arrests? If the arrested “teens” are adults, good. Full punishment falls on their own heads.
If they’re juveniles, HOLD THE PARENTS ACCOUNTABLE.
What part of enforcing the law and protecting public safety is difficult to understand?

The problem is much deeper and complex than just kids being unsupervised at the mall. My friends and, back in the early 80s, went to the mall unsupervised all the time, and there weren't the fights and flash mob/vandalism/chimp out events we see these days.

This crap happens because Generation X raised a bunch of narcissistic, sh*thead kids, and are now want someone else to fix the problem when they chimp out.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Sure looked like black on white beating.

If so, I’m surprised the batterer got arrested.

Police have different standards for black behavior.

“A douche,” I believe. I understand it is a term of abuse, although why calling the Sergeant a shower is offensive, I do not know.

It’s not that easy to call while video-ing.

Hell, FILM IT. Post it on the interwebs THEN call the police and turn it over.

But why even attempt to put yourself in harm when the evidence won’t even be used to arrest\prosecute? Nor worry ‘bout those that scream, “I put *my* life on the line every time I put on the uniform\gun”, whom refuse to enforce the law, let alone get into the middle of the melee\protect the peace?

That wasn’t a fight - it was an assault.

Jail time. Or preferably - 20 strokes with a cane which is much more effective at changing behavior than jail - and far less expensive.

Lock the doors and let the little savages kill themselves off. We know what it will really take to prevent this but that is so politically incorrect as to be unmentionable. Don’t let that demographic in the mall!

Police weakness reflects white weakness.
