Kindergarten Cop: Kimble confronts an abusive father HD CLIP

What’s happening in this Kindergarten Cop movie clip?
Kimble (Arnold Schwarzenegger from Terminator and Junior) discovers marks on a kid's back, and the young boy says he fell in the stairs. Kimble gets out and confronts the mother, who also tells him that the boy fell in the stairs. Kimble, suspecting child abuse, rushes to confront the father, assaults him and threatens him, ordering him not to hurt the child again. Later, in Miss Schlowski's (Linda Hunt) office, he apologizes. She reveals to him that she knows he never had any teaching experience. However, she congratulates him about the work he has done and asks him if it felt good to punch the father of the boy.

When it was time to take her home I realized something was wrong. I saw her look at her watch and she started shaking but wouldn't tell me why. We got to her home but we were 2min late. Her father opened the door grabbed her and punched her in the gut hard. My father, 6ft 4in solid built retired Corpsman, 4 tours through Vietnam, mountain of a man suddenly appeared and grabbed him by the throat. Then told us girls "(girl's name), go inside and pack a bag and then get back in the truck, I'll be there in a minute." He t then proceeded to beat that guy across the yard and back. She lived with us for 8 months, long enough for her grandmother to take custody.

Arnold stated in an interview that Kindergarten Cop was by far his most favorite film to work in. I must say this scene alone probably is a major justification.

[@masondegaulle5731]

Funny story, Stallone made fun of Arnie for doing the Rom-Com Kindergarten Cop, but then it rated really well and helped move Arnie into action comedy. Stallone realised the market was moving away from pure action and he needed to get in on the comedy bit. Schwarzenegger put the word out that he was gunning for the lead role in 'Stop, Or My Mom Will Shoot!', so Stallone went after the role with everything and got it. Trouble is, Arnie was yanking his chain, it was a terrible movie and probably ruined Stallone's chances at any decent comedy role.

One of my first calls as a new EMT was for an injured child. Once we assessed her, it became obvious this was an abuse case and my partner had PD sent to the scene. The abuser (father) also came home around the same time the cops showed up-- the girl was brought home by the mom after the school nurse found the injuries-- and he was "sternly counseled" by two of the officers in another room. When he came out, he looked at us and asked, "Well? You guys saw what happened, right? You're witnesses, I want to file charges!" My partner, the senior medic, looked at him and said, "I didn't see a damn thing." Technically it was police brutality, but in reality, it felt good to hear his @$$ get beat, not gonna lie.

They take her into unsafe situations with creepy people that they had just met while being drunk. One time she FaceTimed me in the middle of the night because she was terrified that her father’s drunk “friend” was going to do something horrible to her. Her stepfather seems to be the worst, though, as he will constantly hit her and say inappropriate things to her. The worst part is that her mother turns a blind eye to all of it. I’m still just a teenager and I am significantly smaller than that man, but when I get to the point where I can match up with him I want to punch that man in the face just so that he knows how it feels to be hit. I want them both to know how it feels to feel powerless, because that is how my friend feels every day.

“Now remember, if anyone asks about your bruise, you have to say you fell again.” You’ve taken a hard wrong turn as a parent if you ever give your child that kind of pep talk.

The mother is just as disgusting as the abusive father. She allows her child to be hurt and then makes excuses for the father. It breaks my heart, and sickens my stomach, that people like this really exist.

Hi how are you doing

[@jacobdensmore5058]

A lot of the times when something like this happens the other parent is being abused too

[@ashleahgarrin7740]

@@jacobdensmore5058 So? If your children are being hurt, are in danger. You find some way to leave for their sake. Many of these women are just selfish-- genuinely in "love" with the asshole that they actually WANT to stay, putting their childrens safety last. If they're being abused and want to live that life fine, but if you're responsible for someone elses life, a small CHILDS life, that life should be your main concern.

[@ashleahgarrin7740]

@@saminhuq8469 And you're acting as though you're fine with a woman putting her childrens lives in jeopardy, standing by as they're abused and yelled at-- just because she's hoping he might not do it again? Or she thinks it's normal so it's not her fault? I'm sorry-- But I guess I thought all good people had this automatic reflex or "ACT" button that goes off when they see someones (especially their own babies) life at risk. For me there is never an excuse. It's a LIFE. And even if he didn't take that life, he's ruining it a little more every single day you put them through that. The second you become a mother, that is your sole responsibility now. You're all those kids have, you're responsible for them. There is always a way. More times than not there is family that has been begging her to leave that would take her in in a heartbeat, there are safe houses for women and children, go to a police station, anywhere. But just LEAVE. And if it doesn't work out, you get to atleast know in your heart you did absolutely everything you could to keep your children safe. For me I just feel like being a parent comes before being a wife to an abuser.
