I mean, this is some serious bullshit, but maybe the cop just thinks that buying Mentos on purpose is a sign of mental illness...?

That clown needs to fly a desk for the rest of his career.

When a pigs first inclination is to pull his un-holstered pistol out of his jacket pocket - and chamber a round- not his badge, to deal with a $1.19 theft is when the pig farm needs to understand that they are 100% out of control. In a perfect world, this pig points his gun at the wrong guy and as soon as he puts it…

The tragedy here is that had Arreola had the Mentos in his hand, he could have solved this situation by rakishly popping a Mentos into his mouth and flashing the cop a smile.

No badge. No uniform. Pulls gun out of sweatshirt and points it at him. If Arreola had a CCW he would have been justified in blowing this cop’s head off.

Man, that dude just seemed pure evil. If you’re going to react like that to such a minor situation, throw you’re weight around, pull a gun...you gotta wonder what kind of nefarious shit this guy’s been up to. They need to find this MF and find out where the bodies are.

When when I first saw the video I couldn’t help but think to myself that the dreaded “Menthos-Bandit” was thinking to himself: “I am not black and only kinda-sorta brown so this is not supposed to be happening to me”. Maybe there was a little bit of a thought that this shouldn’t be happening to ANYBODY but I…

Given that cops can and do erase behavioral incidents like these from their records if the police feel it’s been sufficiently “dealt with,” I wouldn’t be surprised if this follows a pattern of behavior.

This cop is a true hammerhead. Seems the average cop is so scared their judgment is always impaired and being hammerheads they default to abuse of authority at the merest whiff of a provocation. Maybe starting in junior high we should start teaching our kids how to handle mentally deficient cops, we could call it ‘no…

No checking, just assumption that his right, and escalates the situation that HE caused by pulling his gun! 99 percent of cops are cowards and criminals!

Well he might have bought a coke too and made a weapon. You can’t be too careful.it’s dangerous out there.

Cuzzo I see ya

You almost took someone’s life over FUCKING. MINTS. You pulled your gun on someone because you thought they had taken candy???

I don’t understand the police officer’s train of thought here - why would he assume for a second that the guy getting change at the cash desk would be a shoplifter? He’s obviously made a purchase otherwise why would he be getting change? Then why does he think this is a situation that requires a gun? What about this…

“We were aware of this incident after it occurred and we immediately began conducting an administrative investigation into the conduct of the officer involved, which will completely exonerate him and assign all blame to that dubious-looking guy with the ‘Mentos,’ which, every officer knows, are most commonly used…

And every boy in the room learned this is a possible response and will think four times before the next time he tries this.

i am looking at this, and this “cop” (and I am not even sure he is a cop) was being a bully. There was nothing that should have prompted this man to pull a gun on him. The “cop” pulled a gun out of a sweater pocket, not a holster. What is up with that? It looks fishy.

This is why I fly Delta. This is lightweight hilarious tho😂😂

I used to laugh just seeing her face but her black-ish character is more drama then comedy. That’s tv parenthood, I guess. And damn, during the the separation drama ABC makes them play frickin’ Coldplay?
