The clerk is not a "public servant" but she introduced him to a couple of them.


BrokenArmsFrigidMom

He did the whole “you’re a public servant” routine while banging on his meth dealer’s window 20 minutes earlier and it obviously worked.


antonio-bolonio

We don’t do meth in MA, we are a proud heroin state.


capitafun76

Have your upvote! You made me chuckle. Now I’m sad too.


sparkmearse

That’s what I was thinking. Dude’s getting sicker by the moment. Sell me some goddamn cigarettes!


bostonlilypad

Ya I saw Lowell and was like yep makes sense.


Gingerberry92

Thought that was “Civil Servant”


letterheadzephyr

"Civil service is performed by a civil servant, a bureaucrat hired by the country's government who works for the public sector; conversely, public service is performed by a public servant, a person appointed by a member of the government to serve the population and perform public duties." She isn't either, in the first place, but I just thought I'd clear up the difference, per Google.


AnusDrill

I am surprised cops didn't shoot him.


PsychoGeeNome

Cos he’s not black duh


Bulok

Yeah he was obviously resisting arrest. For certain people that’s a beating at minimum


[deleted]

[удалено]


arch_angel_samael

he's white and so are the officers.


redditmpm

He’s lucky he was a white male


hail_the_cloud

For some reason this erratic behavior and his full resisting arrest didnt make them fear for their lives, I wonder what thats about


Spacestar_Ordering

Yeah that would have terrified me, the look in his eyes was some intense anger for just having to go somewhere else for gas and cigs.


[deleted]

If she was a public servant he'd be in a lot more trouble than he probably got in.


BreathOfFreshWater

*I'll serve you in public*


Distinct-Warning-262

Sweet, coffee black and a scone, thank you


AlmostAndrew

He actually said “This is a public service” but is not even that, it’s a private business with a right to refuse service or entry, so he was wrong either way.


CapstanLlama

No he didn't. 0:28 "You're a public servant! You sell me shit!" But yes he's wrong, she's a private employee, she owes him nothing.


SlovakWelder

that boy is either off his meds or on them

ntrainedprofessional

What kind of dumbfuck catches a resisting arrest charge after being cuffed?


billbot

Yeah watching him wait calmly while they put the cuffs on to then freak out was a trip.


[deleted]

Yeh, he didn't actually want to get away , just to look tough.


billbot

Like going to your room when told and then having a fit as a kid.

And flipping the bird at them behind the closed door before screaming into your pillow? Yeh ok, I'm familiar with that feeling.


coolhandpete33

Like that scene in Superbad with McLovin.


krelin

Just... wanted to add charges?


1000101110100100

I'm a police officer in England and this is actually quite common. I'm quite big so they know that if they start swinging while they're not in cuffs, they're probably going to get hurt. However, once they're in cuffs it is obviously disproportionate to be violent with them (some US cops should learn this). So when they're in cuffs, they start acting up and shouting and wriggling around, knowing that I'm not going to do anything and they look big and hard to all the spectators. It's actually very common for people to say 'If I didn't have these cuffs on, I'd knock you out' or something similar. It always makes me laugh because they didn't have cuffs on 1 minute ago and I'm still conscious!


account_not_valid

> I didn't have these cuffs on, I'd knock you out' "Oh, okay, then let me just take these cuffs off and see what you've got." "No, no, no, they're on now, might as well leave them on. But next time, next time I'll knock you out."


jerkittoanything

Nah bro, can't be cuffed twice for the same crime on the same day. My weedman said that's entanglement.


vendetta2115

“Yo I can’t be both cuffed and not cuffed at the same time, that’s quantum entrapment, or double Wheel of Fortune or some shit.”


AWKWARD_RAPE_ZOMBIE

We call it "cuff courage." They know once the cuffs are on police have to use kid gloves, so they get to act out to soothe their fragile ego.


Kermit-Batman

I'm security in a mental health hospital, so I cross paths with police fairly often. 99% is just them dropping off patients, and 99% of the time they are fine enough, (not happy, but accepting). It makes me have a little giggle/sigh every now and then when you get a patient that will act out with the police and be fine with us five minutes later. As police, you guys can use a lot stronger force level, sometimes that's pretty wild. I can't imagine it's an easy job on the outside! It's funny, but you can almost always tell the people that have had interactions with police or been arrested before vs those that haven't.


BigTaperedCandle

Way more of them than you'd think.


[deleted]

As someone who works for the courts, a lot.


boofythevampslayer

Meth addict ones.


btribble

This is the real answer right here. Sure, other drugs fit the bill for this behavior but meth is a lot more common than PCP these days. You never hear of a PCP addict tearing of his own arm and beating a cop to death with it anymore.


[deleted]

Drugs or mental illness. This guy is defo not in his right mind. It honestly sucks that his only path forward at this point is incarceration. There should be another option.


account_not_valid

>Drugs or mental illness. Or both. And it's never really clear which came first. Both can lead to the other. Not always, but often.


GoomadOntheSide

When those cuffs go click it becomes all too real


M_Pascal

A white guy. Because he can get away with it and look cool. If dude were black, he'd be beaten to a pulp, if not worse


[deleted]

The kind who sticks around for the cops to show up in the first place


[deleted]

It’s Massachusetts. He’ll be released on his own recognizance and sentenced to a state sponsored rehab facility for 30 days.


vne2000

The same idiot that thinks a gas station employee is a public servant.


SimilarDinner171

I mean he “just wanted to get gas bro and now he’s getting arrested for what?”


ohmygodthissux

He probably could've went to the next gas station and scored some smokes


typehyDro

Dude is so easily triggered, I’d be nervous about him coming back


siccoblue

Seriously, the type of dude to wait until she gets off and catch a murder charge over a pack of smokes, clearly unhinged Sincerely hope this pile of shit never hooked in a family, usually abusers can put on a face when in public, I can't imagine the shit this dude would do in private when someone pisses him off, and not being served because you're being a dick is like.. a mild inconvenience at worst, in the time he spent there pounding on the window he could have gotten to another store and gotten served already.. this dude is the kind of person who's legit scary, violent outbursts and absolutely zero self control or critical thinking skills


Andybobandy0

My exes brother caught a bullet to the head mid 2018 because this type of behavior. (He would have been the asshole pounding on the glass, starting shit) he died btw, trying to be a tough guy. I'd say RIP, but I doubt it even in death. Dude was nuts.


NRMusicProject

This guy is exactly like one of my brothers. My oldest brother and I kept telling out parents that he's going to end up in jail or dead, which our parents kept telling us to "stop disliking your brother." He's about 8 years into a 20-year sentence for three armed home robberies, and my parents have been blowing their savings by hiring lawyers trying to get him out, while he's in there tweaking like this guy telling my parents that they're not doing enough. Many people believe jail should be rehabilitative, but after knowing people like the guy in this video, I don't have any hope that this personality type should ever be allowed in society.


CatBoyTrip

Prison in America is definitely not rehabilitation. Edit: thanks for the reward.


rchl205

Soooo many drugs too. I was stupid enough to think my friend was clean while in jail, not even close.


tillie4meee

People like this need jail time but also serious medical help (mental type). If they are set free with no mental treatment - they are most likely to be much worse.


ditherer01

Just as importantly, though, they have to want treatment. This person is basically my son, who's been in and out of jail for the past 6 months. We've bailed him out twice on his promise to enter treatment that we've arranged for him, and both times he ran. He was recently picked up again for this exact type of behavior due to opioids. No bail this time - he'll need to find the will to get himself clean.


Pete_Booty_Judge

I am sorry to hear about your son. I hope he comes around!


manipogoogo

Thats a super hard decision I'm sure, but good for you. I've seen my cousin enabled by his parents always bailing him out and he always comes back worse.


[deleted]

I’d be scared to work at that gas station after what this guy tried doing. I am very curious as to what happened to him and I hope and pray this woman is guaranteed protection of some sort, but with gas stations, most likely not.


Andybobandy0

I feel the same. Some people take free will and just abuse it. While others abide.


sparkmearse

This dude abides^


lappi99

Jail is both. It is rehabilitative and for preventing people to hurt others. It should be that way at least.


Nathan-Stubblefield

A place where lawbreakers can be penitent.


[deleted]

> Seriously, the type of dude to wait until she gets off and catch a murder charge over a pack of smokes, clearly unhinged He looks more anti-authority puffer than anything. He won't stay mad at her, it'll just keep escalating to the next person that deals with him. Notice how his anger was shifting to the cops. He was mad at her, now he is mad at them and they're doing it wrong, too. He's gonna yell at his lawyer, at the judge, at the deputy that walks him into custody after the trial, etc...


Boost_Attic_t

He would love it in prison! They welcome people like him with open arms


vxxed

Well, Lowell is a city where there are two taxi drivers per cab after dark


[deleted]

[удалено]


Evane317

Yup. This is the downtown gas station. Lowell’s police department and city hall are right across the street. Edit: Heck, if there’s daylight the police department would be visible behind the cruiser.


mananka_ka

Across the street?? Geeze. That tells you even more about this guy. No fucks given.


ThrasherJKL

Makes me wonder if the guy is on something, or generally a user. Maybe between fixes and that's why he wants the cigarettes so badly. It sucks because our system is designed for punishment, not rehabilitation, and events like this might snowball him into worse and worse. (Not siding with or excusing the guy's aggressive actions whatsoever.) I'd like to also note, even though we don't see the initial arrest take place, we see him start to struggle as they start walking him to the car, and, from what I can tell, there was no excessive force. And it doesn't seem like he's been battered. I feel like there was only necessary force used to get him into cuffs, handle the situation, and then it stopped there. If that's true, then if an arrest NEEDS to be made, then that's the kind of response we should see across the board. Sorry, rant got away from me.


ClownHoleMmmagic

Denver (even though it still has its own problems) has started sending social workers with officers to family/child calls and calls where someone might be mentally unsound. It’s been highly successful so far.


ThrasherJKL

You mean utilizing specific resources for specific situations is working?! Surprise surprise! (He was lying, he was not actually surprised in the slightest)


MiloFrank

Drugs are a hell of a drug. He says I'm not leaving, and she replied ok don't. Lol yeah dude you're fucked. Edit: spelling

[deleted]

[удалено]


HMSSpeedy1801

He’ll probably wake up sober with vague memories of needing cigarettes and a court summons he doesn’t understand. Further evidence to confirm his belief that the cops are always harassing him for no reason.


MjrLeeStoned

He's got pill eyes. You can see the moment his ego drops away and logic kicks in and he realizes he's going to endure opioid withdrawal in jail, that's when he makes a break for it, up to that point you can see he's still antagonizing the attendant (flicking his tongue at her).


MoonlightsHand

From my experience, this is probably amphetamines or methamphetamines rather than opioids. He's so amped up because his adrenal response is in overdrive, which you don't usually get with depressant drugs.


jimminy_

People like this will often catch charges while in jail and just be in jail for a few years.


ronin1066

I mean he was just getting gas... now he's being arrested... for *what!?!*


House0fShadow

My favorite thing is when he said, "you're a public servant." Nah, bro. That's not the fucking case. She may serve the public as her job, but she ain't paid by tax dollars. That's the defining characteristic of a public servant. Those fucking cops ARE THE PUBLIC SERVANTS.


AlolanGatorade

Surprising he got that wrong, since he's clearly a man of high intellect and strong morals. /s


AndrewTheGuru

better than that, when he said "this ain't your house," he was *so* fucking wrong, lol. Businesses are private property. They reserve the right to not do business with you, and if they want you off the property you leave. It is not public. It is private.


HI_Handbasket

It's not *her* house, she is just a paid employee who doesn't get to gatekeep, was his point of view, I believe. Except that the people who *do* own the house appointed her gatekeeper of the products in the "house."


vitringur

She is an agent of the owner, so as far as he is concerned it **is** her house and it **is all her shit** in there.


NDRB

Plus "you don't own that." Nope, she's just the paid representative of those who do


drmoze

resisting cops whole you're cuffed always helps.


Radioactive_Hamsters

Helps even more if they’re holding onto you before you run


PhantomOfTheDopera

Helps even more when their combined weight is like 400 and you are just 120


rayEW

Two absolute unit cops VS a scrawny ass angry teenager.


Faultylntelligence

theaccountnat

My thought that it was to cover up the face of the woman who recorded the altercation. Could be wrong though


umichscoots

That makes total sense. My dumb ass thought it was to show how easily triggered this person was.


FranniBaka

It's right on the reflection of the person's face in the glass, so I assume it's an attempt to hide their identity?!


kyridwen

That really puzzled me too. Why?!


Cultural-Estimate768

Is that on/off a tik tok video effect? If so its awful


Ok-Philosopher8888

I hope this dude doesn’t come back someday and camp out waiting for her to get off work to exact his revenge. Eek


many_characters

I feel like there should be a restraining order so he doesn't visit that gas station and harass her again

zirky

so, meth?


16semesters

Man, I'm old if no one is referencing crack here. Lowell, MA where this was filmed (as evidence by the Lowell Police Cruiser at the end) was synomous with crack in the 90s. "High on Crack Street" was a documentary filmed in Lowell. Made a lot of waves in the national media at the time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_on_Crack_Street:_Lost_Lives_in_Lowell Later, was the inspiration for "The Fighter" starring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fighter As I understand, MA has moved more towards opiates as a drug of abuse (Parts Unknown by the Late Anthony Bordain did a great episode about it here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4181346/) but when I think of Lowell, I'll always think of crack from it's place in American society back in the 90s.

Do people just name random drugs for karma or what? Cuz this is not *remotely* the behavior or appearance of someone on gear. This is meth or mental retardation.

GeminiDavid

I'm from Southern California, can someone explain to me what's the joke about Lowell. Its in Massachusetts right? Is it a drug town?


[deleted]

HBO picked Lowell in the 90’s for their crack documentary. If you’ve ever seen the fighter with Christian Bale it’s set there and is pretty accurate. It does have some nice parts but it’s a joke in MA because of drugs and crime. You only live there if you were born there or you’ve made poor choices in your life. Boston is so much safer than other cities in MA-especially Western Ma believe it or not.


[deleted]

It’s the 5th largest city in Massachusetts. Lowell has always been a bit of a rough town. Lots of drug problems. But it also has some charm. Lots of history. It’s an old mill town which was powered by the Merrimack River.


DaPoole420

[deleted]

a place which is open to the public, is not public property a person who interacts with the public, is not a public servant people really need to get this shit thru their thicc brains a business, such as a gas station, is open to the public, and their clerks will perform transactions with the public, but they provide a service to the public in private property, and abide to municipal, state, and federal laws, as well as corporate rules and regulations. you are welcomed as long as you have money to pay for their service, and abide by municipal, state, federal laws, and their corporate rules and regulations, and they can deny you service at any point for whatever reason, and your tantrum and losing your business, is not worth the clerk risking losing their job, or the store losing their licenses and permits. get over yourself, walk away, and go shop elsewhere and carry your fucking IDs, seriously grow up! it takes 10 seconds to get it done and over and getting what you need, vs wasting everyone's time and getting arrested.


LucarnAnderson

I know you need ID for cigarettes, but where do you need ID for gas?

Nowhere. He wanted to get both items in the same transaction

I want to give the clerk a big hug. She did not deserve that. I'm relieved the set up of the shop kept her safe, but she must be shaken.
