“Move and Die”: Cop Knees 17-Year-Old in the Head, Threatens to Murder Him

In one of the most disgusting displays of police officer thuggery in years, a Hurst, Texas cop was recently videotaped kneeing a 17-year-old kid in the head and, in what can only be described as a murder threat, yelling “move or die”.

That’s right, the so-called peace officer threatened the unarmed teenager with death if he “moved” even as another officer held the teen down.

In the video, the suspect, who was being arrested on a years old trespassing charge, is seen being held down by the first cop on the scene when all of a sudden officer Disraeli Arnold runs up to the suspect and knees him in the face.

The language and tone then used should send shivers down the spines of freedom loving Americans throughout the country.

“Move and Die! Move and F***ing Die. You gonna move again? F***ing move again. F***ing move again!”

Arnold, at this point acting like a violent gang member, then begins to yell at the person who was filming the attack on his phone.

The officer then continued his profanity laced threats.

“Move so i can kick your ass. Move so i can fu** you up!.. Give me a reason to F*** you up.”

Afterwards, seemingly proud of his thuggish behavior, the officer walked up to the camera and openly gave his name and badge number.

After the video began to go viral on the internet, the Hurst, Texas Police Department put Arnold on administrative leave as they “investigated” the incident.

Assistant police chief Steve Niekamp told local news outlet WFAA.com that, “The four-year veteran has been placed on administrative leave while the department investigates the incident.”

Niekamp went on to claim that the Hurst Police Department is embarrassed by the incident as they have apparently had thousands of instances of contact with suspects that didn’t end in threats of murder.

“When something like this happens, you can’t help but be embarrassed,” Niekamp said on Monday. “We have thousands of incidents and contacts every week and the majority of them are very professional and exactly what we expect.”

Another local media report indicated that the Hurst Police Department was, “promising the community a thorough investigation into allegations that Arnold used excessive force in arresting Rodriguez.”

Allegations that Arnold used excessive force? You know you are in an Orwellian nightmare when videotape proof shows an officer CLEARLY using excessive force and threatening a teen with murder and it is then subsequently labeled a simple allegation.

Thankfully, citizens living in the area are speaking out in the hundreds, demanding justice for the victim and the immediate firing of Arnold as well as the police chief if he refuses to take quick action.
