According to police, during a recent street takeover, a 15-year-old boy attempted to carjack a sheriff’s deputy while a group of people kicked and punched the deputy’s patrol vehicle.
The teen reportedly opened the driver’s door of the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department vehicle in an effort to take control of the deputy and the patrol unit at a Highland intersection.
‘These individuals are not afraid of law enforcement, and their behavior is very disturbing.’
According to the AP, the deputy managed to shut the door and drive away from the chaos just after midnight on May 11.
Video footage obtained by detectives captured an “unruly” crowd banging on the deputy’s window and damaging the vehicle, resulting in a cracked front windshield.
The sheriff’s department statement mentioned that around 100 individuals gathered at the intersection for an unlawful street takeover.
Additionally, a fire hydrant was opened to facilitate skidding for participating vehicles.
A 15-year-old male from Menifee was arrested at his residence on charges of attempted carjacking and felony vandalism.
Gloria Huerta, a department spokesperson, told the outlet the deputy’s decision to drive away likely was the safest choice: “These individuals are not afraid of law enforcement, and their behavior is very disturbing.”
There are over 1,000 comments and still increasing on the AP story in Yahoo News.
As expected, the commenters are expressing their displeasure towards the teenager and the current direction of American society.
“Charge him as an adult, don’t release him without a high bail, don’t go easy on him by taking him by the hand and walking him out of jail,” one commenter wrote. “Teens nowadays don’t worry about any consequences because the DAs pamper them. If they’re willing to do the crime, then they should be willing to do the time with harden[ed] felons.”
“It’s California,” another commenter stated, adding that “charges will be dropped, and this behavior will continue until laws are changed where people will face consequences for breaking the law. Wouldn’t be surprised if [the] officer in [the] car wasn’t used as a scapegoat and accused of starting all the trouble. Sad at how our laws have changed to where criminals have more rights than people who obey the law.”
“Has anyone noticed that the kids went [off] the deep end once our government said they couldn’t be hit/spanked anymore?” another commenter asked. “Same time school shootings started to happen? I was punished with the belt numerous times, we had guns in the truck when we went to school, we all had pocket knives, nobody was ever stabbed. I really don’t believe any of this is a coincidence.”

First of all, this is Calipornia, Gruesome Newsome’s socialist dictatorship. It is normal and if you complain, you end up on the agitator watch list. As for these teens, charge and sentence them as an adult
Should have shot the thug.
Cop should’ve pulled out his gun and started shooting the little bastards….
