According to the report, the video,ย originally published on Facebook Oct. 17, shows a group of teens walking and then the unidentified officer coming up behind the teens and starting to swear.

โ€œBig man, do we have a problem?โ€ the officer taunts one youth. โ€œBecause I notice that you keep trying to make eye contact with me. Is there a problem?โ€

The teenโ€™s reply was inaudible.ย 

โ€œOK, well, keep fโ€”king walking,โ€ the officer responds. โ€œThe next time you look me in my fโ€”king eye, Iโ€™m gonna beat the sโ€”t out you!โ€
