Where is the ski mask?

So it's not common for people to wear ski masks in Feb in the NE part of the USA?

What's the story that lead up to that moment?

What was the cops original story and why would he have to lie to anyone about what really happened, unless the cop knew he had done something wrong?

It's pretty ****ing ignorant to go into a convenience store at night with a ski mask, and expect people to believe a story that you were just there to buy some ****in snacks? I mean were they just higher and dumber than **** at the time?

I can't even tell if he's wearing one.

The cop lied because he knew he was wrong about pistol whipping him.

If not for the video, he'd have gotten away with it.

It was February and it could have been cold. Who knows?

Even IF that dude was going to rob the store, it does not excuse the pig for his actions.

That's pretty indefensible. Reminded me of Costner clubbing the drunk cowboys over the head in Wyatt Earp.

His friend was the one wearing the ski mask, morans.

LOL

I'm not crazy then, because it didnt look like he was wearing one.

Don't tell them that! Let them revel in idiocy. Funnier that way.

As someone who worked in a convenience\liquor store for several years I will say that if someone came in with a ski mask on the first thing I did was tell them to take it off when they hit the door with my hand on my firearm while doing so. Seeing as the kid who got popped was carrying a sack or some sort it does lend itself to a possible robbery but if they didn't do anything it's rather hard to justify whacking him upside the head with a pistol for nothing more than looking suspicous.

I am guessing as the story states the kid left because he didn't want any trouble that they saw the cops or got cold feet and tried to bail.

Oh i agree about the cop. The fact that he lied about what had happened only proves that he was trying to cover his ass for the excessive force he used.

I almost blew the head off of a guy I went to school with when he came into the store with a mask (bandana) over his face on halloween. We had a sign up that said no masks allowed on and all I saw was a guy walk by the window and duck down real quick with a blue bandana on his face, when he hit the door my firearm was drawn and I was screaming at him to hit the floor and take the mask off. He was just trying to pull a joke on me but he almost ended up losing his life over it.

Point is, cold or not, when you enter a convenience store, especially late at night, the first thing you need to do is make a move to remove the mask, otherwise you could wind up shot.

Not really.

So it's uncommon?
