No reason to think it's not true? The PARENTS CALLED 911 saying they were afraid he would hurt himself (and others I suspect). This suggests he was acting out, with some degree of violence.
The cops got him outside, he was still belligerent, the cop tried to put him in a bear hug and turn him at which time the boy and/or the cop lost their footing and fell to the ground. Unfortunate accident resulting from an emotionally charged encounter.
The police were called for a reason. I'm sure it was traumatic for the parents to see this but is disingenuous to suggest that the son had no complicity in this situation.

There was no text to the story when I posted it, just the video so I did misinterpret the handcuffing. But where in the world are you getting the "cop tried to put him in a bear hug and they both fell to the ground" story? That is no where in sight here.
I'm all for waiting until the case is concluded but my god what in the world makes you think crushing a 12 year old's skull is an appropriate level of force in any situation? You make it sound like he was a man child running around terrorizing the village. Yet there was even another cop there that wasn't even engaged with the kid.
By film these events, I mean the public should be filming every time they come in contact with the police. It's too easy not to anymore. I'm pretty sure it would have prevented this.
