Police officers are expected to serve the public with all integrity and dedication. While there are cops who are known for their selfless service, there are also those who are always exceptions to this rule. One of them is this allegedly off-duty police who tried to assault young minors.
Tensions rise in this 8-minute video uploaded by Facebook page Mediatakeout as it featured an alarming scenario between an allegedly off-duty cop and a group of students. The social media page claimed that the cop argued with a 14-year-old unnamed Latino student. Moments after, he just shot at the students who were trying to control the situation.
In this video, which seemed to be a cut from an action film, a man wearing a pair of eyeglasses and plaid shirt can be seen holding a young boy on his shirt collar while dragging him away from the other students. It can be seen that the boy was struggling to get away from him and already asked him repeatedly to let go.
The boy can also be heard yelling at the man saying he did not do anything to hurt him. Although the video did not show the root cause of the argument, the boy was insisting that he just asked the man to respect a girl. However, he did not respond appropriately but was was told to get out of the way. The boy’s struggle lasted for some minutes as the man refused to let go of him.
Moments after, another student tried to approach them and get the boy away from the man. The man kept on warning him but the student bravely stepped up and tried to grab the boy once again. The other students in the background tried to ask the man to let go of the boy but he did not listen.
Everything got worse when a few students also approached the man so they could make him let go of the boy. One student even attacked him, which made him fall to the ground. It seemed like the attack made the man lose his temper as he started to pull a gun and fired at the students.
When a shot was heard, the frightened students ran away, leaving the boy alone in the hands of the man who was angry about what happened. Another old man who was just watching them called police officials for rescue as other students tried to call for help as well. The old man even tried to negotiate with the furious man.
It did not take long for authorities to arrive at the scene. Two cops approached the man who already seemed to be holding the boy as his hostage. They grabbed the kid from him as he surrendered and raised his arm calmly. One cop talked to him in one corner while other students were shocked as the 14-year-old boy was asked by another cop to kneel down the ground. The video ended with the cops negotiating with the involved persons.

Meanwhile, the comment section of the viral post with more than 234,000 shares was bombarded with disappointed comments from the netizens. Most of them claimed that the video may not show the full story but it was clear that the man should be jailed for shooting at the minor students. There is still no available information on the development of this case.
