Im sorry for being rude. But. It isn't the police forces job to home the homeless and neither is it McDonalds. The police station isnt a hostel for the homeless, it is for criminals. McDonalds is a business, and if you walk into any restaurant and there is a homeless man with his dirty feet out on the side, I guarantee that you would not eat there and at the end of the day McDonalds is a restaurant and a business. Also, the police wear gloves because without being rude he probbably doesnt shower and if they're in contact with him im sure they would rather wear gloves because I know I would. But I agree with the Government being corrupt which it clearly is. But the Police get alot of stick for things that are generally out of their control. You can't complain about the police because when you get mugged, when you get burgled, who are you going to call?

strong man stands up for him self. a stronger man stands up for others..

Good effort lad. That copper was very flustered and you were calm and rational 👍🏻

"You should get a education". "Yes so should you"! That coppers face was priceless

Honestly, if I was homeless I would PREFER jail. Three meals a day, heated building, a room to sleep in, don't have to pay for rent.

He stood up for what he thought was right .

The most scandalous of all the crimes mentioned here is that ‘McDonalds’ call their junk food outlets, “Restaurants”

"Petty" says the officer.. What's petty is an officer being easily offended by simple words from a kid..

Salute to you young boy ,the world needs more youths like him

If only more kids were like this. Well done for standing up for yourself.

"So do you" That was when the policeman turned arround ready to put false criminal charges on you xD

Police: kid, i think you need education Teenager: yes, so do you Me: damn!

Police officer being condescending from the get go because of the young guy's age, very professional. He had more brains than the entire present force combined.

I used to be homeless and what you do to help them, it's really nice of u. A big thanks for all the still homeless homie out there to you!

Police officer: you need to get an education Teenager: so do you Me: OHHHHH MLG

Nobody should be on the streets no matter their background☹️

It's now a criminal offence to be poor in the UK

To be fair the police were doing their job...that kid is an opinionated tool.

sadly the days of the friendly intelligent bobby have gone, now we have narcissistic ego driven control hungry thugs with tribals :( sad times

Smart young man! I loved how he kept his voice even..... The cop was emotionally exposed lol

Wait, he said "The police are fiddling with the crime statistics" And the cop replied "That's the government, not the police". So he's just admitted that the government mess with crime statistics?!

Fair play to ya chap, you've got balls and are some man for standing up for what you believe in. Intimidation tactics used their are ridiculous too. Here to serve and protect the public my bollix, they're here to serve and protect the wealthy and powerful and to keep mere normal people in our place.

Well done to you young man we need so many people like you...

Police constable Roid rage is getting angry!!

The cop got pissy because he was insulted with his own projected insecurities about not being educated enough. That's when the cop became the bully. The kid is right. The bankers need to be put on trial or the entire financial system reordered.

Insult by Cop: I think you need to get an education Comeback by me as teenager: I think you need to get a life

0:48 And right there, you can see in his eyes the true homicidal nature of the cop. If he had the opportunity, he would have attempted murder.

2:02 The copper got owned big time hilarious!!!

man whoever this teenager is i got 100% respect for him. he knows his stuff!

i love how the cop ask the guy to record him with a distance, when it was him that came closer :D

Oh and, before i forget, young men like the lad in the video give me hope for the future

Respect to this kid for standing up for someone less fortunate than himself and doing so in a respectful and calm manner.

The police were doing their jobs... Might not be the right thing to do (arresting a homeless guy for trying to find a place to sleep), and that needs to change, but the cop is between a rock and a hard place. I get the feeling he doesn't like it anymore than the kid does. If the homeless guy is drunk then the BEST thing that could happen to him is that the police take him to a cell for his own safety until he sobers up. Friend of mine recalls how when he was taken to a cell overnight he was offered hot drinks and a snack in the morning. Honestly i feel there is more to this than meets they eye, but I also respect the kid for standing his ground.

well done young man for standing up to that bully cop.

I am so glad that we got people like you helping homeless🙂

one day, any one can fall on hard times, you never know you should care more this could be you out on the street on a cold night .

Bully cop walks up and say`s get that camera out of my face, well it was he who walked up to the camera, the goon.

We need more people like you Much respect

Bravo for the young man defending him! Why didn't that activist help? She was just sitting there.

:48 seconds in. Priceless. That cops face. Thats was one well and truely pissed off copper.

Homeless guy: (Eats pancakes) Cops: "PUT YOUR HANDS UP NOW!

Sorry but I think I side with the Police Officer here.

- Records in a distance - - Police officer walks closer towards the camera - "Get that camera away from me please." like wot? its not like he has an attachable knife on his camera and is about to shiv your face off.

Well done here lads that cop showed his true colours jumped up bully merchant!

I normally agree with these video vigilantes. On this occasion I felt the policeman handled the little, spotty faced delinquent quite well. Who sounded like a rebel without a cause. An irritation, like a boil on your arse. And what exactly is a community activist? Or was he a journalist. Who the hell are journalists to criticise anyone. They're more interested in the Kardashians than any real issues. Maybe they should go and investigate the bankers - but that would be too much effort for journalists. it's much easier to create a story out of nothing. As for the homeless guy. That's why I eat my McDonalds in the car. First reason is I'm embarrassed to be seen eating the garbage they're made from, and secondly I don't want to share a restaurant with some smelly homeless guy with his shoes off.

"You really need to grow up." Says the police officer to a child trying to help the homeless. Yeah, try and make people feel bad for caring about humanity. Vile.

Wow!!! That young man is awesome !!! So caring !!!! Bless you !!!!!!!!

Report him! Aggressive and intimating!

Cop covered in tattoos and bad attitude= Rent-A-THUG

McDonalds is not a public place, that being said, it is private property. The police are well within their boundaries to remove him from the premises. It's counter productive to have some child spitting speculative assumptions at the police officer whilst doing his job. The police officer has probably been on the job longer than the kids been alive and has most likely seen more homeless related crime than the kid ever will.

Your a good man for sticking up for him, we all need to stand together

Me:Exposing Cops Cops:Stop Exposing Us Its Embarssing

So a drunk homeless man was (allegedly) disturbing the peace in a public place. The staff called the police to remove him, because they didn't want him there anymore, which they can do if someone won't get out when they tell them too. So what was this kids issue? Jesus, some cops are bad, but this guy was just doing what was asked of him. And this kid was interrogating the officer like he had just beat the shit out of the guy for nothing. Why does everyone think they are heroes these days?

The kid should've bought the man some food, then he would have been a customer.

“You should get an education” “Yeah so should you” The coppers face he was ready to get his badge revoked 😂

Good on you,for speaking the plain truth and standing up for the defenceless..every answer you came out with was pure truth and brilliance,the police officer couldn't engage on the same level,so he got annoyed and tried to pull rank,but couldn't as he wasn't speaking the truth and he wasn't in the right.thankyou for being so thoughtful,clear,truthful and kind.it is such a good example to spread to others,when dealing with this kind of situation which is very sadly becoming more and more commonplace..made my day..thankyou ❤

He doesn't even know what day it is.

Well done for standing up for yourself, and especially for someone else! You're most certainly not immature - and that police officer was far too aggressive.

Mate I'm siding with the police , McDonald's have a policy (in Sunderland that's all I know of if there is any other city) But yes McDonald's have a Policy that you can not loiter in the shop without ordering or finish hand order and just sitting there soo McDonald's employees have Likley called the police on this part

Well done for standing up to the police, I know that particular McDonald's very well living in Birmingham myself, sadly the number of homeless has at least doubled in the last 10 years and police attitudes and an unfair undated Vagrancy Act is making matters much worse for them.

Just a failed attempt to outsmart the cop.

Omg! I live in the west midlands too, in England! The police here is SO shit, im glad theboy did what he did. My cousins house got robbed, they called the police and guess what they did? NOTHING.

Perfectly worded from that young man indeed, we need more like him.... this country's gone to the dogs. Police just revenue collectors these days, no real Crimes dealt with. Well said and well done!

The police officer sounds like Mr Gilbert from the inbetweeners 😂

The police man was right.

That policeman is hideous.

Top lad standing by a fellow human being,, you go lad refusing to be intimidated by a revenue collector and a disgrace to the badge

...I might never go to another McDonalds again since this is the third time they discriminated a homeless man

Great stuff . The more people confront these thugs in this manner , the more they will be forced to back down and actually start working towards there remit ...ie , protecting the public

This cop absolutely stomped you in debate, friend. I'm on his side 100%.

The fact that he kept on walking back to every comments considers him as a child. Also freedom of speech

Leave the man and kid alone and catch real criminals what a joke tax payers money you work for us the people don’t forget that officer.

Open a restaurant. Some homeless guy scare your clients because he is trying to sleep in your restaurant. Ask him to leave. He don't leave. Call the police. People on the internet defend homeless guy. In their opinion police should not tell the homeless guy to go to other place. Owners of the restaurant should let the homeless guy sleep.

its not the police's fault people are homeless and McDonald's is private property

When he gets attacked by a thug or homeless person, I wonder if he will feel differently lol

When I was homeless I was treated just like this poor woman. She MUST be treated like a human being and not an animal. It angers me to no end. I have scars from the police. When I got off of the streets and started working to help the poor and homeless of Atlantic city because I swore that I would never forget that I was in that situation, I was very vocal about it like the brave person that shot this video and that makes me an enemy in the eyes of the police. I am still battling this to this day but I will never give up. Homeless people are NOT PROBLEM, they are people that HAVE A PROBLEM.

Sorry but he shouldn't be sleeping in the McDonald's. Its a place to eat not to rest and sleep for the night.The police should of took him into the station for the night to sleep, then find him a place for him to go the next day. They was right too take him out of the McDonald's but should of handle the situation better. Saying to the homeless person he be banned from city center was out of line.

He was a polite educated young man. Concerned about another human being. If only we had more men like him standing up for the working man. And i take my hat to the lady who spoke up on camera. Make your vote count

"we're dealing with someone who's potentially aggressive", say's the policeman aggressively!

Officer is 100%. I'm about to be homeless. My landlord is ill and needs his house back. I have a little girl who stays with me a lot but because it's not official and her mum gets the chid benefits I'm classed as a single man, so I am at the bottom of the housing food chain. I also house my niece while she's at uni who has no one else to support her. After the break up from little ones mummy I was homeless for 18 months. But, if a police presence is required, they need to perform their role. It is a government issue. Exacerbating the situation will not help. Take your passion to the people who can change things and be blessed. Good luck in your assistance and ventures. 👍🏻🙏🏻

I can't help but laugh when British people get angry.

Policemen in America's job is to uphold laws and protect peoples rights, not sure if their job is to also provide homes for people in the uk or not but I kind of doubt it. McDonald's is owned by someone, its not a public area, its a private business. If the owners don't want a drunken homeless guy sleeping at their restaurant, they have every right to have police remove him. If he breaks a law while they're attempting to remove him, the police have every right to arrest him for breaking that law, however justified or rational breaking that law may be, or if you'd break the law in the same situation. The arrest just puts him in jail for the night with a roof over his head, medical attention and a free meal, so who the hell cares? They acted accordingly, they can't ignore a trespassing report, and they sure as hell cant ignore someone breaking a law right in front of them.

Two times I give someone to stay where I live and after two weeks get a letter from the council threatening all about money. That is spurious

the teenager's pissing himself when the cameraman says he's a journalist

Grow up.

"fiddling with the statistics" lol... you're real educated kid.

The policeman is like MR Gilbert from inbertweeners😂

I actually appreciate the upfrontness of the officer

officer sounds like greg davies

Hey you seem like a good guy, I'm referring to the Red haired kid in this video. Keep doing your thing man. Hold the Cops and Police accountable for their actions. CONTINUE to freely excersise and affirm and re affirm your rights and freedom of speech and exspression. This WORLD NEEDS MORE PPL LIKE YOU. Really you seem like a little sweet heart. Don't get discouraged. Police like to BEHAVE BADLY, worse then badly, un acceptably and then LIE ABOUT IT AND LAUGH ABOUT IT. We are the majority. Most ppl share this view and yours. My name is not most ppl and my views and opinions are JUST THAT, MY VIEWS AND OPINIONS. But the majority of ppl I have talked to echo my above commentary. VIDEO EVIDENCE is one of, if the they highest standards of evidence in Court(s) of Law. It provides a Un biased, two sided, impartial, objective, chronological account of the events and how they transpired. Which as long as un edited, un altered can be used at a later date by BOTH parties ias evidence and or proof in a Court(s) of Law. The Cop was in my opinion just trying to belittle you and intimidate you. Which is what they almost always do. Keep doing your thing, I HOPE/EPOH you do!

He's the one throwing insults and intimidating the public on behalf of private companies, this police constable is in breach of his oath

Last i checked Mcdonalds doesn't operate a homeless shelter, If he is put in jail , he gets 2 hots and a cot , The cop is doing this man a favor by finding him a quiet place to sleep for the night, since he obviously refused to leave the restaurant if it escalated to the cops being called, At what point is it enough, when the entire restaurant is filled with passed out homeless people and there is nowhere to sit , Would you still think it's okay then

PETTY the word is PETTY not PETIT. That is the french word for small.

Officer handled this perfectly, why not show the full video because it looks like you were just a pain in the arse, don't call yourself a community activist you didn't do anything special you just started making completely irrelevant comments... I know what people like this "Luke Holland, the Community activist" is like they watch some liberal (I'm not against liberalism) KZfaq video and spring "facts" at people irrelevant of their position or their situation. If you want to make a difference make these comments to the high ranking Inspectors and Chiefs Inspectors, no bitch a guy who is told what to do. And you really shot yourself in the foot when you admitted he was drunk, I would suggest you learn how to debate with people.

You know you're loosing when you're trying to diminish the opposition with childish pettiness like that cop.

This same ignorance of. human beings and their unfortunate situation is happening everywhere lately I am happy to see a young person be so caring towards a fellows rights. Thanks for being there. 👍👍

Original statement on this incident from West Midlands Police: “At around 9.20pm on Thursday 26 February officers on routine patrol stopped a man on Corporation Street who they believed to be drunk and was who shouting at passers-by. The 40-year-old was asked to leave the area. Around 15 minutes later the same man was spotted in a fast food restaurant on Cherry Street. Additional officers were then called and the man arrested to prevent a breach of the peace. Unemployed Viliam Timko , of James Turner Street in Winson Green, Birmingham was later charged with possessing a controlled drug and appeared before the city’s magistrates’ on Saturday 28 February. Mr Timko pleaded guilty and was fined £75 and had to pay a victim surcharge of £20 and court costs of £145. “We welcome members of the public filming our officers executing their duties but it should always be borne in mind that, as in this case, the footage only captures a tiny snapshot of the incident they are dealing with as a whole on the basis of multiple sources of information. “Birmingham Police have a long standing commitment to protecting homeless people and work with organisations such as the Big Issue, Midlands Heart, St Basils and SIFA Fireside on a daily basis. “ This statement was provided, and published following this incident, in March 2015.
