>> IN BOSTON, WE HAD A RUN-IN WITH THE COPS AND A WOMAN ON A
BUS AT DUDLEY SQUARE, THEY WERE GOING TO ARREST HER FOR THEFT.
IN THE VIDEO YOU CAN'T QUITE SEE THE THEFT, IT CERTAINLY COULD
HAVE HAPPENED.
THE WOMAN WAS NOT COOPERATING WITH POLICE AS YOU
WILL SEE IN THE VIDEO IN A BIT, BUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT WAS THE
INTERESTING PART.
FIRST OFF, WITNESSES ARE REACTING TO WHAT
IS HAPPENING.
BEFORE I SHOW YOU THE VIDEO LET ME GIVE YOU A
DESCRIPTION FROM RAW STORY.
THEY SAY, WITNESSES CAN BE HEARD AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO TELLING THE WOMAN TO CHILL OUT.
THAT IS PROBABLY SENSIBLE WHEN YOU ARE GOING AGAINST A COP, YOU
DON'T WANT TO FREAK OUT HERE.
THEN THE COP PULLS HIS GUN, AT
THAT POINT, THE OFFICER DRAWS HIS WEAPON AND MOVES TOWARD THE
CROWD.
HE THEN TURNS BACK TO THE WOMAN WITH HIS GUN STILL OFF.
A
MAN CAN BE HEARD SAYING, DROP THE GUN, CHILL!
IT'S NOT THAT
SERIOUS.
I LIKE THAT, BECAUSE THEN THE CROWD TURNS AND THEY
ARE TELLING THE COP TO CHILL.
HERE IS WHAT THEY ARE IN FAVOR
OF ON THAT BUS IN BOSTON: FOR EVERYBODY TO CHILL OUT.
AFTER A
FEW SECONDS -- DURING WHICH ANOTHER MAN YELLS, DROP THE
FUCKING GUN, THE OFFICER PUTS IS WEAPON BACK IN THE HOLSTER.
WHICH YOU WILL SEE IN THE VIDEO.
AND THEN THE WOMAN THEN SWINGS
AT THE OFFICER AGAIN, PROMPTING THE CROWD TO TELL HER TO CALM
DOWN.
THIS IS THE MOST REASONABLE CROWD IN AMERICA.
WHICH EVER SIDE IS GETTING TOO EXCITED, DON'T HIT THE COP,
CHILL, WHOA, DON'T SHOOT HER, GOOD, HE PUT THE GUN AWAY.
DON'T
SWING AT THE COP.
YOU WILL SEE IT, IT IS MORE ANIMATED THAN THAT BUT IT
LOOKS LIKE THE CROWD GOT THE COP TO PUT HIS GUN BACK INTO
ITS HOLSTER, WHICH IS PHENOMENAL.
WATCH.
>>BACK UP!
BACK UP!
>> OFFICER, STOP.
>>[YELLING]
>> DROP THE GUN, DROP THE GUN.
>>CHILL, CHILL.
>>DROP THE GUN, YO.
>>IT'S NOT THAT SERIOUS.
>> PUT DOWN THE GUN!
>>OFFICER, DROP THE GUN!
>> SHE'S NOT GOING NOWHERE.
>>DROP THE FUCKING GUN!
>> WATCH OUT, WATCH OUT.
>>OFF THE BUS, OFF THE BUS!
>>PUT THE GUN DOWN.
>> I GOT THE WHOLE THING ON CAMERA.
>> MAN, I LOVE WHAT THEY DID THERE.
THEY DE-ESCALATED THE
SITUATION FOR THE COP.
YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT SHE DID IN THE FIRST
PLACE IN THE VIDEO TO GET THIS WHOLE THING STARTED, AND AT
DIFFERENT TIMES WHAT SHE DOES AT THE BEGINNING AND WHAT HE DOES
IS UNCLEAR, BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT AT ONE POINT SHE SWINGS AT HIM.
THAT WILL PUT YOUR LIFE IN DANGER.
HE KEEPS LOOKING AT THE
CROWD, HE CLEARLY HEARS THEM AND EVENTUALLY DOES PUT THE GUN
AWAY.
THE CROWD IS RIGHT, SHE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
I KNOW YOU
ARE SUPER MAD THAT SHE IS SWINGING AT YOU, I GET THAT, BUT
DO NOT SHOOT HER.
CHILL.
BACKUP WILL COME, SHE CAN'T LEAVE, YOU
WILL SUBDUE HER EVENTUALLY, YOU WILL ARREST HER, EVERYBODY WILL
BE FINE.
PLEASE JUST DON'T SHOOT ANYBODY.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
CROWD WAS?
THAT WAS AN AMERICAN CROWD.
THEY DID A GREAT JOB
THERE OF TRYING TO GET BOTH SIDES TO BE CALMER.
THANK GOD
THEY WERE THERE ON THE SCENE.
SCORE ONE FOR AMERICANS.
GREAT
JOB BY THE CITIZENS OF BOSTON TO DE-ESCALATE THAT SITUATION.
SUPER PROUD OF THEM.
