A Dallas police officer received a three-day suspension after putting his arm around a 14-year-old teen and telling him I will break your f*cking neck, WFAA reports.
The altercation which took place last October and was recorded by the teen without the officers knowledge came after officer Terigi Ross and his partner responded to a 911 call that ended in a hangup.
According to authorities, the teens stepmother made the call over a towed car and then hung up thinking the conversation was over.
After speaking with the woman, Rossi decided to handcuff her and told her she was being arrested.
When confronted by the teen over why she was being arrested, Rossi grew angry and began threatening the teen, telling him he was going to end up in a foster home before launching into an expletive-filled rant.

Though the incident happened last October, the officer's suspension only recently happened as his actions became public.

We can no longer allow our police to violate the law and the only way to stop them is to ensure they follow the law and if they dont they should be prosecuted like anybody else.
