Katella High Student Takes Selfie, Posts on Instagram as Anaheim PD Harasses Him and His Friends!

Trust me. I work with those kids. They have no business in doing things like that. They did that so much with teachers that they don't say anything about it anymore. It gotten so bad that students became bold and reckless in holding camera against your face and NOT get in trouble for it. I'm glad officers took them down for that. I wish teachers and principal are more proactive about this.

Forget a selfie, these kids should have been recording a video! Then maybe they would have really caught something good.

Umm....hello...when a cop tells you to do something, you are supposed to do it. Kids today have ZERO and I mean ZERO respect for authority. Who knows the whole story...maybe these kids had been in trouble before and the officer remembered them. Yeah...I'm sure these kids are upstanding, outstanding honor roll students and leaders of the school...he..he...

Josue def. wins best selfie of the year with this one! instafamous now hahah

Yes Kudos to the kids though I hope they are not so brazen in their adult years. We all know that bored cops can gey away with doing anything to pass time. What those kids did could easily land an adult in the hospital or worse...because as history has shown- cops are apparently in a constant state of " feeling threatened" .

Looks like Payton Mannings tubby brother.

Amazing coincidence how a Latino man gets executed by Mickey Mouse's Anaheim police department the day after this article is posted.

Good job APD. These kids are out of control and need Officers to keep them in check. Parents no longer do.

We are paying the the police to serve and protect. That is their duty.

THINK AGAIN ORANGE COUNTY! 

The last thing the Anaheim police department wants you to see is this video.

Here is how unwarranted - no reasonable suspicion - nonconsensual encounters can end. The disgrace here is that this NYC kid was the son of an NYPD traffic cop. He joined the Explorer's program because he wanted to be a cop like his dad. And NO. It ain't just a "few bad apples". The apple cart overfloweth.

Those that complain about too many cops in Anaheim should just move out of the city to cities that there would be no cop presence- like compton, detroit. Those types that complain about too many cops, if they were all to move out- the city would be better off. 

Oink oink piggy.

Eddie send me a friends request

..

Rich Hall- Those are not sergeant stripes. A sergeant patch has THREE chevrons, this senior officer has two.

With a little luck hopefully some of these pigs will get a freeway underpass named in their honor.

hahahaha, pardon Me...lol.. you gotta admit the ending part of your story is too funny..lol..yeah fuck them for sure!!!

what's more disturbing is the sergeant stripes on the cops sleeve..means whoever's promoting him is just as corrupt.

Someone call Mayor Tait!

Pigs these days are drunk on power. It's sad because they are suppose to serve and protect, not oppress and harass.

Some people have no business in the police department. This cop for sure! Thanks to this digital age an instant photo can be made for all to see his aggressive behavior!

@ Michael Black, assuming you're who you say, and the cop used poor judgment, you just walked away when your ride pulled up? That's where it looks like the trouble started. You can't just walk away when you're being questioned, fair or unfair you made it much worse than it should've been

When you look like "trouble" you're gonna get harassed by cops. I'm sure good kids wouldn't have taken a picture of a policeman who questioned them. He was just doing his job, which most of the haters probably know nothing about.

Oc cops are asshats.

Tell that to the cops who beat Kelly Thomas to death, or shoot unarmed men and women.

HA!

That's not a selfie thats a someone elsie.

@Ijustwokeup - Wow. No gag reflex *and* you swallow. Did they give you kneepads with the dept. logo? LoL

@Ijustwokeup  No, unless the cop tells them they are under arrest there is no reason for detaining them.  If he is placing them under arrest, which he did not, there has to be a reason for the arrest.  You are right in what you state "who knows the whole story..."  but I for one will not give up my rights (that i acquired via naturalization) to question authority, nor should these kids.  If the officer has a reason to arrest them then read them their Miranda and explain why they are in trouble.

Anaheim PD doesn't want white people in Anaheim Hills to see this video. If they do it will end the perpetual fraud commited in OC courts every day.

I agree. No need to slander this officer for doing his job. We dont just pay them to enforce the law but to prevent crime as well. Its a shame that OC has so many immoral people in uniform that one would have to be foolish (or young) to not be weary of every officers intentions. Cops and Mexicans in OC have one major thing in common- vast majorities expect the lot to be as shitty as the worst.

They were waiting for a ride outside the school you moron!! The cop was the harassing factor!! You are stereotypical!!

that way, you guys can all hug and protect each other

The Anaheim officer should have observed the children period before ever approaching. He should not have gone up to them and proceed to harass them after they stated they were waiting for their rides. Reason and common sense have gone out the proverbial window. My child and any student waiting to be picked up after school should be able to wait in front of her/his school without thinking about cops driving up and harassing them about being there. By all means police should cruise by and show a presence in the community. A lot of crime is deterred from just police having a presence in the communities they serve. Dare I say this is a race thing or discrimination by appearance. goodness I hope not. For the sake of students waiting for their families to pick them up after sports or after school clubs, etc...Anaheim PD Please use common sense! 

I know I know as long as it doesn't happen to the kids in your neighborhood what do you care?

Hey genius, it would be funny if this happened to your kid huh? http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7rWtDMPaRD8

What's was the reasonable suspicion? Was it a legal detainment? Don't need to answer ANYBODY'S QUESTIONS at any time unless being detained with reasonable suspicion/Probable cause.

Why do they look like trouble to you? Not White enough? Your coded language is VERY transparent.

Youre sure? Because you know the kids right?? His job is to protect and serve, not harrass and put his hands on teenagers. What if theteen would have touched him? He would end up like Kelly Thomas. Have some common sense...

When did photography become a crime? They are "goods kids" if they don't document abuse? 

@megandanielle  It is a cops job to investigate all suspicious activity. You dont know the whole story here. There are areas in anaheim that kids go to in order to sell drugs, weed, smoke- etc. Perhaps they were just in the wrong place in the wrong time.

Ultimately, the kids were let go- only their time was wasted. No harm done-

@18usc241  it probably wont happen to his kid. Do you see Allens icon picture- he looks like an outstanding citizen. You think he is going to let his kid dress like that kid in that youtube video???

They probably looked like the mini little pre-gang bangers that they are.

@megandanielle @bellaB  they have better things to do than comment on this case. 

@bellaB  Yes. It would be of better understanding if someone like the officer or the department would comment. Then I would be able to understand what constituted suspicious behavior enough to approach these minors.

I am not naive to think that teenagers don't make poor decisions. I was a teenager I remember. I am a parent I immensely understand. 

@18usc241  The founding fathers also didn't dress like cholos you fucking asshole. They also had pride and respect for the law and country they founded. 

I get that you have an agenda, but wouldn't you be better served educating your flock to

not commit a disproportionate amount of crime compared against the white people in Anaheim?

You speak of the manner in which someone dresses in the United States as grounds for probable cause? The founding fathers would have vomited on you. You also completely ignored the exposure of police corruption section of the video.

You are the sort of genius that could be convinced to shove live people into gas chambers.
