4:05 pm
us, but videos keep rolling in. like this one from chicago. right off the bat we see a confrontation between a chicago police officer and a person out there partying in the street. at first glance you notice the police officer is pretty big. the person he is fighting with is rather small. the cop looks to the camera, notices he is being recorded, and this person is really, really mouthing off to this cop. some people are saying he was i'll "f" you up which you can't say to a cup. and flips the cop the bird. the person's female friend is trying to restrain this individual. watc watch. >> whoa. >> yep. finally the cop says i think you've said enough. and sort of puts this person in a choke hold, gets him over to a sidewalk, slaps the cuffs on him and takes him in. what did you notice about what happened when the pop cut the
4:06 pm
cuffs on? >> everything kind of supports the officer. >> we are all in agreement. this guy was mouthing off. this cop had to do what he had to do. a lot of commenters on youtube are saying the exact same thing. a few said this wasn't a man at all, this was a female in this confrontation. and also that this person is a u.s. marine. does that change anything for you guys? >> no. >> i'm sorry, you can't talk lip like that to a police officer. >> even people in the crowd thought it was a male, because you hear people say wow, he's cuffing him and taking him in. whether it's a male or a female, this person should not mouth off to a police officer and i don't blame the officer for taking this person in. >> next time you leave your house, remember to tell your pet, your dog, to stay inside and not get on the ledge, that's what the owners of 4-year-old maggie forgot to do. maggie is a wire fox terrier.
