Seems the officer was using good safety tactics. A shotgun disperses high energy in a short distance without going long range so it would make sense to use a shotgun in a populated urban area. People who steal cars may be armed and a gun fight could have picked off spectators standing around coming from the cops gun. From the criminals gun, they always seem to hit scholars and children and never their intended target. Never assume kids can't have guns either.
@bobbybob3680 for a media project in school. Can't read a video description or tell when it was uploaded... But of course... its something you don't know of cause you probably dropped out. Its ok... you could probably spend another few years living with mommy and daddy before you get kicked into the streets and shot by a gangster. If you're smart, you'd probably stop coming here to make a fool of yourself.
@CyclingMagician hey dumbfuck, i see everything stupid at a officer pointing a shotgun at a unarmed minor. dumb fuck. I bet if you had a brain, you would still be stupid as fuck. so why dont you go fuck yourself in the ass in your basement.
Wow... drawing guns on a 15 year old girl and her dumb boyfriend. What a show. Not even after they saw they were just kids did they put them away. They weren't even resisting.
@CptSchmidt 1. 15 isn't a "kid" 2. 15? Then shouldn't be driving, let alone stealing cars, 3. You can't be sure of their age looking and you can't even see the person until they get out. 4.Are you delusional, do you think teens don't commit serious crimes? Most gang members are teens. Who said boyfriend? How is any of this relevant to how police treat car thieves? We are to expect equal treatment under the law, or should 15 year olds get special treatment that murderers would never exploit?
@promontorium That's a lot of extrapolation you've done, there. If you weren't so stupid, you might make a good point. It's obvious they're not in a gang. They stiffly got out of the car, and did exactly as they were told. If you'd been listening, the theft wasn't even theft after all, it was a miscommunication between relatives who didn't know someone else had the car. Those officers could have taken them easily without the guns, they just wanted to show off for the camera.

All that fire and manpower for two 15 year-olds joyriding in a relative's car seems just a TAD bit excessive. But I guess that's how you guys do things in that Nanny State of CashorCheckifornia.
I know what those kids did was wrong. But do you really have to prove a point screaming at them to get out of the car with a GLOCK pointed to the back of their head, with that other idiot running up from the side holding a 12 gauge like he was ready to strike?
@hicksfa2 No one knew their ages (and there were three teens) until they were removed from the car and questioned! It was not a Joy ride the car was stolen 400 miles away ..... Police don't know why it was stolen or who stole it only that it was reported stolen.....
@TVman1981 not to mention your an idiot if you're naive enough to belive they won't shoot out just because of their age, seen it happens with people lots younger
@GMSamuelRhine When performing stops like this the police don't know who is in the car or how old they are. If you react badly, (ie, reach for a gun, shove your hand in the glovebox) of course you are going to get shot
@hicksfa2 You have got to be kidding me. Do you really think police are psychic? The police aren't supposed to treat people differently anyway, the car was stolen hundreds of miles away, and there are three people in the vehicle. There should be one way to deal with the situation. Also, what do you have against Glocks that you had to put it in all caps? Is there a friendly gun they should have had? Though I agree with you that California is a fanatical and corrupt police state.
@promontorium I'm aware the cops aren't psychic, but common sense should tell you that once you visually confirm that the persons you are attempt to place into custody are 1) Minors , 2) Completely unarmed and complying with your instructions, even if this IS a felony traffic stop a bit of personal judgement could be used. You don't teach anybody to "respect" authority when your instant response is draw first; ask questions later, regardless of the situation.
@promontorium Also, you can do either Glock, or GLOCK when spelling the name of the company. GLOCK on their website and company promotional material usually capitalizes the company name when in reference to one of their Safe Action Pistols. I have nothing against GLOCK (I own a G22), that's just how I've spelled it for years. Lighten up, Francis.
@hicksfa2 How will the cops know they are 15 year olds during the felony stop, they check the plates, reported stolen without any more information they proceed regardless. What if they had firearms with them, should the cops just walk up without their service weapon drawn and get gun down by someone thinking 15 years don't do criminal activity?
@KendrickSF "You are a typical garden variety sophomoric cop hater without any concept of what these peace officers have to deal with in real life every day."
@hicksfa2 You do know this was a FELONY stop, don't you? As in...grand theft, auto. Felons do not always play nicely with others, and extreme caution must be used. As in car thieves, bank robbers who use stolen cars, etc.
@gopher3737 Not a clue, but you saw it in the vid just like I did. Then again, we all know cops will write whatever they want/have to in order to get their quota. Most people never contest their tickets and just pre-pay them. And if you do go to court, odds are the judge will take the word of the officer over yours. So unless you have video evidence, you have little chance.
Went with the CHP on a ride a long once and witness first hand on a felony traffic stop. It was crazy. This 17 year old had a warrant for him from the Alameda County Sheriffs. I will not forget that night. it was fun.
HAHA Same! Was driving the other way once and all of the sudden Crown Vics came flying out of nowhere! I stopped and just sat there, not wanting to drive by them, but then within 2 minutes they realized they had the wrong Grand Am and went flying off in the other direction (leaving the girl who was driving freaking out on the side of the road!!) As it turns out someone with the exact same car robbed a bank minutes earlier.
they cops wear helmets so people don't hit them over the head with a baseball bat. I have a golf club for you sir.
