Springfield, IL. – On Monday the Springfield Police Department released body camera footage from an incident last month that led to the arrest of one of its officers. Springfield police say officers responded to a domestic disturbance call in the 2100 block of East Stuart Street on Feb. 27. Officer Samuel Rosario engaged in a verbal argument with a 19-year-old boy at the scene, according to the Springfield Police Department. “Go back to Mexico, n*****,” an unidentified male says to Rosario in the released footage. “I ain’t from Mexico, you stupid motherf***er,” Rosario responds. A short time later, the man asks for the officer’s badge number and the two hurl profanities at each other for several minutes. “What do you want me to do for you to put some hands on me?” Rosario taunts. “You want these hands? You can have ’em … you a b****.” Rosario is seen walking toward the teen and appears to push him, saying, “Did I not just touch you?”
The screen then cuts to black as, according to Springfield police, the altercation between officer and teenager “escalated into a physical encounter.” An unseen woman at the home shouts, “He started it first, police did … the rookie started first … that’s assault and battery.” Toward the end of the video, Rosario says, “Dude, I felt bad for you, that’s why I stopped hitting you.” Springfield police say a backup officer not involved in the incident reported it to his supervisor. Rosario was arrested and charged with two counts of battery and one count of official misconduct the following morning. According to Springfield police, Rosario is on unpaid administrative leave pending the results of an internal investigation. Illinois State Police have concluded their criminal investigation into the matter. “This incident does not depict the actions of the hard-working men and women of the Springfield Police Department,” Springfield police said in a statement.

I’m black , so I’m not allowed to support this moron getting his wig adjusted.
Got an ass whooping hell never forget and probably never speak about to anyone.
The cop didn’t handle the situation very well … but still though the young man has got a mouth.
You gotta understand, these cops are grown men challenging teenagers. I use to think I was tough enough to go at it with one but after gaining that adult strength I don’t think I would’ve stood a chance
Uhh, well…
Lost for words
Can take the the cop out the HOOD…..
Can't take the HOOD out the cop
Gxbcm nvk
Who the hell trained this cop. What a disgrace. He can’t even handle a fucking kid with making it all worse.
Street trash. Removing this cop will actually make the streets more dangerous.
Kudos to this cop!
Showing their true colors.
I love officer Rosario.
Mouth got him into some shit. If the other cop wouldn't have been there to say stop he would have been a sleep…
Can we start a give a little page for this officer to take a holiday somewhere.
Legend!!
14:57 back up officer: welp, I’m out.
This was straight out of the movie end of watch 🤣
I hope that cop didn't get fired
His mom needs to be slapped next she ain’t told her son to stop not once
He kept his word, didn’t arrest him. Just wanted to throw hands.
The Police is a straight antagonist
That police officer kept it real with him tho
do we know where this man is today ??
I can accept that there are poorly educated, stupid and cocky young boys. But the cop of the same mental maturity level makes me truly scared… IMHO, this one shall be dismissed from his job ASAP.
I was waiting for the leo to say "son your mouths writing cheques yo body can't cash". Oh well everyday a school day. I know it's been 4yrs but I hope the leo kept his job, but I doubt it.
I knew this cop. He was friends with my parents. Who were also cops.
ohio?
Youngster should have stayed out of it. He made all the anger fly.
