Police in Miami say they had no choice but to forcefully restrain a 14-year-old boy who was playing on the beach with his friends because he was giving them "dehumanizing stares."
Tremaine McMillian was roughhousing with another teen in the water when he was approached by Miami-Dade Police officers and ordered to stop fighting.
...
Sensing an imminent "threat" from Tremaine's body language and "dehumanizing stares," the officers placed the teen in a chokehold.
According to Tremaine, it would have been impossible for him to be clenching his fists because he was holding his six-week-old pit bull mix puppy Polo at the time and feeding him with a bottle.
He says the puppy was injured when police slammed him on the ground.

Did they have police officers during the late 1700's in the US? If not when did this system arrive, how, who, and why?

Wow, real heroes there, protecting the public from a puppy-wielding teenager.
Way over the top, seems to me. Certain types of stares are now enough to warrant body slams and choke holds?

Typical ATS responses to something we don't even have video of! Poor teenager.... lemme tell ya, a lot of teens are straight punks these days who need their asses kicked for their own good.
Poor cops, I hope they recover.
