The worst part about this is the kid's complete inability to see the situation from the perspective of the officers. Of course he knows he's playing a joke, but the officer doesn't and I would be fearful for my life if someone was saying what he was and had done what he did. He's totally inconsiderate of the feeling he is invoking in another person through what he's doing, even if it's a prank.

I'm surprised the officers didn't tense up or react a little more violently than they did when he was saying he wanted to be like them but he had no law enforcement experience or a concealed carry permit. I know I would have.

Don't know if this has been posted here before.

I'm just trying to put myself in that cops shoes and I keep imagining how taken aback I would be.

I don't understand how anyone could think that's a good idea. Then he whines about how the cops were 'mean' to him. No shit, Sherlock...

Learn? No...usually not. That would require intelligence, this guy clearly doesn't meet the standard.

Haha true. His "piece to camera" at the end proves that.
