Rights Flexing Citizen Owns Cop, Shuts Him Down for Trying to Steal Kids’ Book Sacks

Some rights-flexing citizens noticed a Baltimore cop trying to take the property of two teenage boys when they stepped in for the rescue.

• Baltimore, MD — “When you see something, say something” is the saying Americans are constantly bombarded with by the state. This normally refers to citizens reporting fellow citizens for behavior that they might think is suspicious. But two rights flexing brothers from Baltimore turned the tables on see something, say something when they saw a cop violating the rights of two teens. They chose to step in and say something and because of their actions, two teens were protected from the corrupt police state.

“But it’s illegal,” says the cop.

“There’s a lot of other stuff they could be out here doing man,” replies the man. “It’s good that they’re doing something that is not harming the community.”

The teens in the video above were lucky. Other citizens of Baltimore have not been able to walk away from situations like this one so successfully. Even entirely innocent people have been framed, beaten, and killed by the department who has earned the reputation for being one of the most corrupt in the country.

A federal probe of the city’s Gun Trace Task Force unit last year exposed some of the worst police corruption in recent memory, including carrying around bags filled with BB guns to plant on people they shot.

It got so bad in Baltimore, as TFTP reported last this year, lawmakers in Baltimore accused the officers of being so corrupt that they proposed disbanding the entire department.
