9 Year Old Boy Handcuffed, Thrown in Police Cruiser for Playing With Toy Gun (Video)

by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:

Two videos of the same incident paint two very different scenes of how a police officer reacted to a child playing with a toy gun.

Spartanburg, SC — A video posted to social media over the weekend caused heavy backlash for the Spartanburg police department which prompted them to release body cam video of the same incident. The videos show a 9-year-old boy being handcuffed and placed in a police cruiser for allegedly throwing rocks and playing with a toy gun.

The two videos highlight the importance of being truthful when sharing evidence of alleged police misconduct and the damage done by those out to spread false information.

The incident happened on June 29, when police were dispatched to a neighborhood over a 911 call about some children throwing rocks and playing with a toy gun.

The caller told dispatchers that the child with the orange-tipped toy gun shot her son in the buttocks and also threw rocks at her home.

The stories from both parents differed greatly.

Prior to police releasing the body cam footage, the following video was posted online with the subsequent description:

Very disturbing video. This happened in Spartanburg SC. We were told that this 11 year old boy was playing outside, throwing rocks when the police pulled up with guns drawn. He was eventually handcuffed behind his back and put into a patrol car. This little boy makes good grades, plays basketball, football, baseball and runs track. He also has been a participant in the Omega Camp for four years in a row.

Our question for Spartanburg City Police Office is….does your policing policy include pulling out guns on and handcuffing 11 year old kids??? And yes, we saw the lady pick up the orange tip toy gun from the grass…we were told he was handcuffed because of rocks that were thrown…not because of a very obvious toy gun.

The video went viral and was shared tens of thousands of times being reposted on multiple pages with the same description. The Spartanburg police department was flooded with angry calls asking why on earth a police officer would hold a small child at gunpoint and place him in handcuffs for a toy gun.

      They should of arrested the parents instead. Calling the police department to discipline your own children is never a good idea.

      Kids have been throwing rocks for ever, and playing with toy guns!! Will people get a grip?

      Take a good close look at the speedometer on this squad car’s speedometer, and see the speeds he is hitting! You can hear the engine of that car beeing floored as he is hitting those speeds!

      How long do you think a citizen could drive in that manner before their licese is suspended?

      That is sick, people will not give up their guns no matter how hard they push the agenda. Plainly the pedos in power are not going to pillage and rape our children with impunity. If they keep pushing they will get a revolution instead of a civil war. This has already started. What Soros and cronies are doing is a waste of their time and money. All the government is doing is exposing their tyranny. The group you raised on propaganda are a bit slow on the uptake. They are starting to get the big picture though.
