and they don't have a conversation with anyone. They look pissed off, as if they are the ones being offended. I just don't understand why they can't look at a situation like this and start talking.

That kid was so brave. The first cop really did look like he wanted to punch the kid, and he got the vibe. How hard would it have been to acknowledge and talk...

be confronting the Black young man, probably prevented things going very badly for the young man ... because, looking at the 1st cop, he did not look like he was going to take much more.

the courage of this young man "at thee barricades". Gives me hope in the younger generation. As long as they are speaking truth to power, the war is not finished and the fascists that control these police have not won....
