It should be mandatory that if any officer of the law turns off his body cam at any given time he should be fired and not eligible for any kind of appeal.
Yep, police should only be allowed to turn off their body cams when they go to the toilet and when their shift finishes. By turning it off it looks like they have something to hide
Its really concerning that in all of these videos the Police seem to genuinely not know the most basic laws of their state. How are they qualified Police officers? There is something VERY wrong about that.
@@sepsis111 True. I wish my suspicion was otherwise but in today's age I wouldn't doubt it for a second. A pity the officers responding were more focused on his identity than his actions.
Remember that cops do make mistakes sometimes, this cop must be new or never had to deal with such a circumstance. And do not fret, the punishment for an officer unlawfully doing something does not go unnoticed. There will be written records that anyone may access that in detail explain what the officer has done and if they commit too many strikes, they're removed from their job. I don't agree that cops are the problem with USA or the world because if they were then you'd have videos of every police encounter.
@@PsyKick Remember the office vs the student who picking up trash on his apt. ground?.. well, he served 14 years.. so it's not about newness or inexperienced.. the cop even pull-out his service gun against the student for not obliging to his command to sit and provide birthdate.. if that's not a case of ego and arrogance, then I don't know what it is.. Beside, if any law hasn't been broken is NOT THE MATTER (as the cop in the video stated and the point the OP highlight).. then what rights the officer has then to arrest/detain anyone.. is like saying that police can and has the authority to arrest someone for even breathing just because he like to do so..
ada-dech I don’t know what the second part is meant to be or where it came from but the first part of your sentence literally explains what I put, referring to when I said new OR never had to deal with such circumstance. I’ve known police who have served 10 years and the worst thing they were in was someone driving a stolen tank through the street and the rest wasn’t anything terrible, so it doesn’t matter how long you’ve served it matters if you’ve been in the situation before.
@@PsyKick That is a plain stupid claim. Observing something suspicious is common place, you can't tell me an officer of 14 years of service can't asses that picking up trash is legal.
The point is he now has to prove that his authority can not be challenged. The other officer said it perfectly near the end when he told the other guy not to let him go and to set an example showing him and the rest of us that we can’t just assert our rights and must bend to their will. It’s all about maintaining power and control over anything they decide to control.
I know right? I keep hoping something works out and the police officer gets punished properly but most of the time their bosses act like it's nothing and they get a promotion or something

It’s kind of the point, but not entirely. The point is also that the subject was not listening to the officer and walking away. So the point was also that he was resisting passively to the commands given. It’s always way better to fight everything in court
@@PoseidonGod Wrong, "not listening a police officer and walking away" is not even a valid argument in court if there is no crime. You litteraly defined a police misconduct argument.

I used to live in southern California and had a friend who shared his 2 kids with his wife in Arizona. In the 90 degrees summer heat in California, his kids would be wearing hoodies and sweat pants because it was 115 in Arizona. 60 degrees is cold to a lot of people.

Lmao but you people clearly had what you thought was enough evidence to be the judge, jury, and executioner. He’s not hiding his “crime” hes turning it off because there is nothing else to show, since the suspect is in handcuffs and the officers car. That’s standard procedure. Do you people know nothing about police procedures?

I had a bunch of gold wrapped chocolate coins and I gave like 5 cops one in the boot each lol. Fuck all cops period! Shit my uncle a cops too, fuck him too
Blame the FOP. They will protect an officer against any misdeeds. The cop could literally be caught balls deep in a minor and they will defend them until their dying breath
when the second officer quietly says "turn it off" regarding the first officer's body cam , i got chills. That's absolutely abhorrent behavior on behalf of the whole county's police force and police in other states that do the same type of thing. .
All interactions should require 100% recording. Cops shouldn't be able to turn cameras off. Pressing the "off" button should make the cop think it's off, flag that part of the video as attempted to shut off, but keep recording.
@@ObservationofLimits I agree. I personally think that if a police officer turns off a body cam, messes with security cams, etc. they should be charged with worst possible outcome. Example: Epsteins 2 guards should ve charged with 1st degree murder, tampering with evidence, and obstructing justice.
@@TheOriginalJphyper probably because officers don't wear them when they are off duty. Not that the ability to turn them off while on duty isn't a problem, but it definitely makes sense for them to be off while not in use (e.g. while in a locker).
They don't care about the LAW they apply statues and codes and make you contract go to a court room and look at the DA desk you will ser the commercial criminal code book .
and they all go to work everyday and enforce whatever the fk they please. and they happily take the pay check every two weeks . $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Its a big part of the problem. So many jobs require you take test to make sure your still knowledgeable about your job and you have to pass those test. And yet its not required for police to be tested on a regular basis.
It's scary how out of control this country's police are. I've personally seen this stuff in life way too many times. Our court system doesn't care either
thats giving the cops too much credit. they dont need to know all the laws, as thats extremely difficult. they just need to know the very basics and the constitution. thats it. and they fail at even that. i cant believe they think they have the authority to stop people and demand ID like they live in nazi germany

@@jesse630 I hate to break it to you, but talking to the cops when they are "investigating you" does not have a high probability of working out for you. There is a big reason that the right to remain silent NEEDS to be used more. As was pointed out in the video, because the "subject" was talking and swore at the officer, the officer now has him as committing
@@jesse630 The problem with that is though we don't know how the officer will react. The other problem here is that all he said to the man was that someone called because he is suspicious, which is not a crime. Sure, the demand to know who you are can on its face be a reasonable one, on the other hand, you have no right to know who I am unless you can point to some criminal action I have taken. The Police do not have the right to stop you just because, and unless that we exercise that right it will get eroded. This is an argument about what is right, the police should not be able to just stop you and force you to identify. Then it turns into how many times do you encounter the police. Even if every time you have interacted with them, how long until they see something that is not there? "Well this is the third time we have talked to you, why do you keep running into the Police? Seems suspicious to me." I understand the desire to perceive the Police as a force for good, as genuinely helpful. I want to, I really do. But this channel shows us that the Police are very often, wrong. They are not an all good force in our society, they are not all bad either, they are grey. This is why the best way to interact with them is to know your rights, and only give them the bear minimum in order to protect yourself. There is a reason that the Miranda warnings specifically include "Anything you say can and will be used against you." What it fails to mention is that anything you have already said can be used as well.

To all coloured people and minorities, I am so sorry that you have to suffer these challenges and I am ashamed to be a white person. Race should be and is irrelevant.
@@jopaljopal4256 Yep. Ive been rooting for standardized and mandatory police training handled at the federal level regardless of State, and subsequent State laws can be trained at the local City or County and State level via attorneys who are local and understand the local laws and can pass on the most critical info to police better than a DA would. All of this should be mandatory training from the very top to the bottom. I used to be in auxiliary police myself and Ive seen what types of training go on...and the other downside is lots of cops shell out money from their own pockets for additional training outside of their departments because the departments dont have funding. Thats why I want to see all police/sherrif/whatever training handled in a standardized way at the Federal level, much in the way the military branches are trained (I was Army, and I know this highly standardized training will work). Federal-mandated and standardized police training would obviously include heavy understanding of the Constitution and the laws they are sworn to protect and the inalienable rights that ALL Americans have, along with plenty of training on using non-deadly force options, better verbal commands and communication skills, de-escalation skills, COMPASSION for the public regardless of protected-class status (age/sex/race/religion/etc) and generally how to not be a total loser and not fail at your job...also mental health screenings or counseling quarterly or bi-annually, or yearly to make sure that no one is cracking under pressure or whatever. Policing is a really tough job especislly in high crime areas, and the bad cops need to be weeded-out because it makes the job even more painful and dangerous for every other good cop out there. All of these things and much more are critically important for every single officer to be trained on and aware of. I pray that what Im hoping for happens...at least that every State is forced to take it upon themselves to enforce their own standardized training of every officer or sherriff/deputy in their own lands...but I like Federal better because just like history has shown, one State could choose to standardize on a racist or sexist or otherwise stupid policy that would never fly if the Federal government handled it. Normally I hate big brother and stuff like that, but I know that Basic Training and AIT works in the military for standardized training and every soldier across the US is mostly on the same page if properly trained...therefore if we made a police-specific training program where no county or city or town could cry about not having the funds or time to schedule every officer for all this training, I feel that this would help tremendously. States should still have a say in their own unique training and laws, but its gotta fall under a broader standardized training system that forces training on identifying and avoiding abuse of power and excessive force and knowing the laws, etc.
The grading scale has certainly changed since this video, I’m going back to from today to see more content since finding this channel and this one definitely stands out for grading the civilian too harshly. Today he would have a an A+ as I believe he should, he was calm, verbalized his rights and didn’t resist when unlawfully arrested. Many put up a struggle to remain out of cuffs and I think he did great to remain this calm and complying when his argument wasn’t understood by the officer.
@@benhorton2849 true, I guess that may be the biggest difference in some of the other videos I am comparing it to. I guess he stopped having the A+ grade when he continued to walk away after the orders to stop.
@@HaloWarlord88 Also let's be honest ATA has gotten softer on non-auditors. But yeah it's conduct, I think he would be gotten a higher B these days though maybe yeah.
I think the narrator got it wrong that he didn't comply. What he was doing was calling their bluff. He asked if he was detained and the cop refused to answer him, so he walked away. He forced the cop to choose if he was detained or not so he could have a lawsuit. Otherwise, the interaction could have been construed as consensual.
@GentlemenGhidorah What is more likely to happen is that there would be a lot more dangerous escalations when interacting with the police because the police officers in the United States are incredibly touchy about seeing citizens wearing weapons, and like it or not, they will outnumber you in those situations. Heck, you are likely to be shot just for carrying. What I do agree with is that the police officers need a lot more training, psych evaluations, and oversight by someone other than the police themselves. It is stupendously dumb that when an officer's conduct is evaluated by the department of police.
@@Datamike lawfully open-carrying firearms doesn’t increase police shootings. It’s incredibly common where I live (small town where an incredibly high % of people do tend to legally carry guns) and shootings are essentially a non-existent thing. Police officers also don’t have anonymity here because of the small town nature of the area so it’s virtually impossible for them to do fucked up things without being held socially accountable for it. More people expressing their 2nd amendment rights in a legal and responsible fashion almost always equals a more fair and just societal experience. Those looking to infringe on your rights or do you harm, whether they have a badge or not, have to think twice about their actions when they don’t have an inherent leg up on you.
@@drnapalm7605 all the people killed were not resisting. And your argument basically says that your rights can be abused for a payoff. How American is that?

From what ive seen i think its better to just go along with it, because if you do anything about it that could go bad for you in the situatuion, the officers have bodycams so if you say they did anything wrong they could check the bodycam and realize you werent in the wrong
@@13DollarBill. that doesnt prevent the tyranny or the injustice. You are proved correct, the cops get a paid vacation or are let go from the police force but remain on city payroll or some garbage.
All the officer knows in this situation is someone called in a suspicious. The man in video is acting in a manner that a guilty person would. All he had to do was identify himself, tell his side and go about his day. But no, he had to be a hardass, filming it to show his friends. What if this happened in a dangerous suburb. Someone could've been shot in this situation. Nothing would've happened to him had he just complied. If the officer tried to do something shady, he would've won in court. The officer here was extremely polite and patient here.
Not only that how many jobs can you name where you can kill someone with your knee pressed against their neck, and then get bailed out of jail for a couple millions while making 40-50k a year. Police unions are fucking pointless no wonder people are mad

@@icin4d you’re an idiot lmaoo. You think every single officer in the entire station watched this video 😂😂 it’s the probably job of at most 2 officers to investigate into an interaction like this that did not end in violence. Don’t be ignorant.

"You're a suspicious person in a hat and jacket." = "You're black." That lady walking her dog in the back had a jacket on as well. She wasn't detained.
Unfortunately this is VERY common. In most police interactions there is a crime or a report of a crime, and thus police can legally detain and question people. But when there is no crime and by default, no investigation of a crime, I think police forget that people can choose to not interact with them and the officer feels like his authority as a LEO is in question and their ego takes over. Someone clutching their pearls because they saw a black man on a public sidewalk and calling the police is incredibly racist. LEO's should recognize that fact and once they determine the person is not threatening, belligerent or intoxicated they need to wish him a good day and leave them alone.
What I don't get though is.. Yeah, this was 99.99% called in via racial profiling. But if a cop was called on me for soliciting in a neighborhood as a white person, I would've cooperated with his questioning. And yes, I've seen neighbors call the cops for solicitors in my neighborhood. As soon as this guy disclosed he wasn't soliciting & it was political, this convo would've been over and cop would've been on his way. This didn't have to be difficult. I understand black dude's frustration but he could've gone the easy way. Innocence and openness will prevail 99.999999999% of the time
John Zapien that implies that you consistently watch his videos, which counts towards his views. Plus you comment on them which also adds to the TH-cam algorithms. But, oh no! You’ll never subscribe.

“Put your hands behind your back” “What are you arresting me for” “Because you’re not listening to me” Literally pulled that directly from the video. Exact quotes. Yikes.
@Waffle Doggo Well that example and what happened in this video are two completely different things. The guy could walk away because he wasn't lawfully detained. Even if stayed to have a circular conversation with the cop, he was free to leave at any time. The only reason the cop kept following him and arrested him was his ego, he wanted to run the guy for warrants and stick him up with bullshit charges(which he did and they were all dropped). What your scenario is about is an potentially dangerous situation. I mean it could be, then again it might not be. Was the officer dealing with an armed suspect, or was he dealing with a guy who was lawfully allowed to carry a weapon?
Danny Fergusson well that’s not necessarily true. Freedom of information act allows anyone to obtain these types of videos. Now with TH-cam, a whole lot more “average joes” are requesting & posting these body cam videos & interrogations.

@Melanin Queen Melanin Queen... That name is pretty racist. Cops don't even mention race as a reason, yet, here you are, singling yourself out. Lets have a big brain moment, yeah?
I've watched a bunch of these videos recently and the common theme across all of them is that all these officer are on huge ego/power trips, and then escalate the situation when law-abiding citizens don't put up with their abuse of authority. The need to be held accountable.
I agree. I’ve seen so many of these videos where these power tripping cops act like this. They can’t stand it when someone knows more than them. I would love to see them all get held accountable but I don’t think it’ll happen unfortunately. I’m a female (contrary to those who call me ‘sir’ or ‘bro’ on here lol I’m not a hater though because I choose to look like this lol) and I had a male officer throw me against his patrol car and got so close to me while screaming in my ear that I felt his penis against my behind. Someone told him someone had warrants but he automatically zeroed in on me when it wasn’t me! I don’t get this type of bully.
This is so so true, it TRUELY bothers me that still agencies are hiring these type of police officers…there should be mandatory classes and training to maintain their egos and use common sense but most important learn to NOT GET JADED!!! Start every interaction giving every person the benefit of not judging them based on ur previous interactions and get better at DEESCALATING situations instead of ESCALATING THEM!!!! Come on it’s 2021 when will things CHANGE?!? Ggggrrrrrr 😡
This is why they get so uppidt when they have any interaction that isn't met with refnence or submissivness from the citizen. Even just having a smile on their face will lead the cop to ask 'whats with the attitude' so they can try to provoke the citizen more.
makes me wonder what all these idiot police officers are actually thinking inside their minds when they're getting schooled on laws and rights by a civilian. unless they are actually unknowledgeable, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.
That's complete nonsense. If he knew he was wrong, he wouldn't be doing it. He thinks people need to listen to him. He's used to people listening to him. He knows how to handle three types of people: Those that treat him with respect and deference, those that flee, and those that attack. People that calmly tell him he has no right to stop them and just walk away blow his mind. He's a fish out of water. That's why he's stammering.
@Royal Blue it was definitely a racist who made the call. I do believe that both parties conducted themselves poorly however. I think he would have been better off if he didnt hide the flyers he was handing out and just give one to the cop. That being said I hope the police officer was at least fined if not removed from the force due to abuse of power.
@Royal Blue the black man put himself in that situation, its hard to feel sorry for him, if it's about race why aren't other races like the asian in prisons and targeted by the police?
i disagree with you both. Those things made him a suspicious person, plus the handbills and they are why Dispatch sent an officer out to investigate. But what got him arrested was exactly what the officer kept saying over + over at the end when the guy asked him "Why are you arresting me?" - he always answered "Because you are not listening to me!!". All I could think was, buddy, just wait until your kids are teenagers, you better learn to get over yourself or they'll be in those not-listening arresting cuffs too!
@@heidikickhouse- Buddy, the police are not our parents, they are not our authority. They are our servants, they listen to us until duty calls on them to do otherwise.

I hope everyone sticks up under the police misconduct so we can further understand their corruption and actually make change to better it.
Eh, technically the cops know how much they can abuse and get away with based on local laws and their experience. Never assume they don't. Once they drop obstruction of justice, disorderly or some form of terry stop (workarounds for violating rights). You know you are in trouble as they trample the 4th amendment while laughing.
it's about ego and abuse of authority. cops think that having a badge gives them the right to boss citizens around and they get butthurt when you don't follow their orders. america is a police state and it needs to change, reforms and oversight need to be enacted from the federal level. there are too many corrupt counties running their own police state.

Welp, you see what their department’s “internal investigations” turn up. They operate with impunity, even on body cam. They violate, City pays out a little money, rinse and repeat
This is why cops should be required to demonstrate a basic understanding of what their job actually is, what their powers actually are, and what they're actually allowed to do. Time and time again this basic level of understanding is not demonstrated by law enforcement. I know plenty of good LEOs are out there, and why they don't slap their coworkers with some reality is fully beyond me.
Well because the answer is: "I'm investigating you, because a racist called us over and as it is our duty to serve these individuals and protect them from the animals." The officer obviously knows that this is not appropriate, that's why he won't answer, even when he could.
The cop told him why - someone reported suspicious activity. The cop won't be able to tell him anything more than that until he finds out what the suspect is doing there...he needs to ask questions to get information. What do you think a cop SHOULD do if he gets a call for suspicious activity, ignore it? Especially if he's black, right? Ignore all calls for suspicious activity especially if the suspect is black...lol great logic.
@chief tp lol you get funnier with each post. A cop nor a witness can't always determine what "criminal activity" is without first investigating "suspicious activity". But there is no legal difference between the two when cops are doing an investigation. A cop has the legal right to detain and question a suspect whether it is reported as "suspicious" of "criminal" activity. You claim "suspicious activity" has zero legal meaning but "criminal activity" does... quote the citation that specifies this claim or stfu with your TH-cam lawyer bullshit.
I'm gonna disagree here. Winter hat in 60+ degree weather? OK, maybe a style thing, but I don't like it. But his clothes were clean, fit well and the colors went nicely together. So B+ for style. Lose the hat.

Curious how the cop thought arresting the “suspicious looking black man” was going to go over well for him. This is the definition of racial profiling by both the cop AND whoever in the neighborhood called this in.

Yeah to come up with a valid reason for the arrest as of that time they don't actually have one. It's immoral and wrong but I am sure they justify it as for the greater good or some self serving nonsense.
It should be a Class A felony (destruction of evidence) for police to mute or turn off cameras while in the field or durring investigation, or any conversations while in charge of arrestee. Obvious crimes are committed by cops when they take these actions.
Internal investigations need to be done by either the state certifying agency that grants local police powers of arrest or the federal government. End qualified immunity.

Remember that cops do make mistakes sometimes, this cop must be new or never had to deal with such a circumstance. And do not fret, the punishment for an officer unlawfully doing something does not go unnoticed. There will be written records that anyone may access that in detail explain what the officer has done and if they commit too many strikes, they're removed from their job. I don't agree that cops are the problem with USA or the world because if they were then you'd have videos of every police encounter.
@@PsyKick Remember the office vs the student who picking up trash on his apt. ground?.. well, he served 14 years.. so it's not about newness or inexperienced.. the cop even pull-out his service gun against the student for not obliging to his command to sit and provide birthdate.. if that's not a case of ego and arrogance, then I don't know what it is..
Beside, if any law hasn't been broken is NOT THE MATTER (as the cop in the video stated and the point the OP highlight).. then what rights the officer has then to arrest/detain anyone.. is like saying that police can and has the authority to arrest someone for even breathing just because he like to do so..
ada-dech I don’t know what the second part is meant to be or where it came from but the first part of your sentence literally explains what I put, referring to when I said new OR never had to deal with such circumstance. I’ve known police who have served 10 years and the worst thing they were in was someone driving a stolen tank through the street and the rest wasn’t anything terrible, so it doesn’t matter how long you’ve served it matters if you’ve been in the situation before.
@@PsyKick That is a plain stupid claim. Observing something suspicious is common place, you can't tell me an officer of 14 years of service can't asses that picking up trash is legal.

The point is he now has to prove that his authority can not be challenged. The other officer said it perfectly near the end when he told the other guy not to let him go and to set an example showing him and the rest of us that we can’t just assert our rights and must bend to their will.

Body cams should never be turned off by the officer, that in itself should be grounds for dismissal.

Why do they even have an off switch?
All interactions should require 100% recording. Cops shouldn't be able to turn cameras off. Pressing the "off" button should make the cop think it's off, flag that part of the video as attempted to shut off, but keep recording.
@@ObservationofLimits I agree. I personally think that if a police officer turns off a body cam, messes with security cams, etc. they should be charged with worst possible outcome.
Example: Epsteins 2 guards should ve charged with 1st degree murder, tampering with evidence, and obstructing justice.
@@TheOriginalJphyper probably because officers don't wear them when they are off duty. Not that the ability to turn them off while on duty isn't a problem, but it definitely makes sense for them to be off while not in use (e.g. while in a locker).

There is a big reason that the right to remain silent NEEDS to be used more. As was pointed out in the video, because the "subject" was talking and swore at the officer, the officer now has him as committing
@@jesse630 The problem with that is though we don't know how the officer will react. The other problem here is that all he said to the man was that someone called because he is suspicious, which is not a crime. Sure, the demand to know who you are can on its face be a reasonable one, on the other hand, you have no right to know who I am unless you can point to some criminal action I have taken. The Police do not have the right to stop you just because, and unless that we exercise that right it will get eroded. This is an argument about what is right, the police should not be able to just stop you and force you to identify. Then it turns into how many times do you encounter the police. Even if every time you have interacted with them, how long until they see something that is not there? "Well this is the third time we have talked to you, why do you keep running into the Police? Seems suspicious to me."
I understand the desire to perceive the Police as a force for good, as genuinely helpful. I want to, I really do. But this channel shows us that the Police are very often, wrong. They are not an all good force in our society, they are not all bad either, they are grey. This is why the best way to interact with them is to know your rights, and only give them the bear minimum in order to protect yourself. There is a reason that the Miranda warnings specifically include "Anything you say can and will be used against you." What it fails to mention is that anything you have already said can be used as well.

@@jopaljopal4256 Yep. Ive been rooting for standardized and mandatory police training handled at the federal level regardless of State, and subsequent State laws can be trained at the local City or County and State level via attorneys who are local and understand the local laws and can pass on the most critical info to police better than a DA would. All of this should be mandatory training from the very top to the bottom. I used to be in auxiliary police myself and Ive seen what types of training go on...and the other downside is lots of cops shell out money from their own pockets for additional training outside of their departments because the departments dont have funding. Thats why I want to see all police/sherrif/whatever training handled in a standardized way at the Federal level, much in the way the military branches are trained (I was Army, and I know this highly standardized training will work). Federal-mandated and standardized police training would obviously include heavy understanding of the Constitution and the laws they are sworn to protect and the inalienable rights that ALL Americans have, along with plenty of training on using non-deadly force options, better verbal commands and communication skills, de-escalation skills, COMPASSION for the public regardless of protected-class status (age/sex/race/religion/etc) and generally how to not be a total loser and not fail at your job...also mental health screenings or counseling quarterly or bi-annually, or yearly to make sure that no one is cracking under pressure or whatever. Policing is a really tough job especislly in high crime areas, and the bad cops need to be weeded-out because it makes the job even more painful and dangerous for every other good cop out there. All of these things and much more are critically important for every single officer to be trained on and aware of. I pray that what Im hoping for happens...at least that every State is forced to take it upon themselves to enforce their own standardized training of every officer or sherriff/deputy in their own lands...but I like Federal better because just like history has shown, one State could choose to standardize on a racist or sexist or otherwise stupid policy that would never fly if the Federal government handled it. Normally I hate big brother and stuff like that, but I know that Basic Training and AIT works in the military for standardized training and every soldier across the US is mostly on the same page if properly trained...therefore if we made a police-specific training program where no county or city or town could cry about not having the funds or time to schedule every officer for all this training, I feel that this would help tremendously. States should still have a say in their own unique training and laws, but its gotta fall under a broader standardized training system that forces training on identifying and avoiding abuse of power and excessive force and knowing the laws, etc.
More like needs to be fired. Imagine being hired for a job and not knowing how to do it, even after training.

Many put up a struggle to remain out of cuffs and I think he did great to remain this calm and complying when his argument wasn’t understood by the officer.

He forced the cop to choose if he was detained or not so he could have a lawsuit. Otherwise, the interaction could have been construed as consensual.

@GentlemenGhidorah What is more likely to happen is that there would be a lot more dangerous escalations when interacting with the police because the police officers in the United States are incredibly touchy about seeing citizens wearing weapons, and like it or not, they will outnumber you in those situations. Heck, you are likely to be shot just for carrying.
What I do agree with is that the police officers need a lot more training, psych evaluations, and oversight by someone other than the police themselves. It is stupendously dumb that when an officer's conduct is evaluated by the department of police.
@@Datamike lawfully open-carrying firearms doesn’t increase police shootings. It’s incredibly common where I live (small town where an incredibly high % of people do tend to legally carry guns) and shootings are essentially a non-existent thing.

The second cop that arrived was the biggest douche.
Unfortunately this is VERY common. In most police interactions there is a crime or a report of a crime, and thus police can legally detain and question people. But when there is no crime and by default, no investigation of a crime, I think police forget that people can choose to not interact with them and the officer feels like his authority as a LEO is in question and their ego takes over.
Someone clutching their pearls because they saw a black man on a public sidewalk and calling the police is incredibly racist. LEO's should recognize that fact and once they determine the person is not threatening, belligerent or intoxicated they need to wish him a good day and leave them alone.
All three cops look like they haven't hit 30 yet. No experience, no training, given a gun and a badge.
What I don't get though is.. Yeah, this was 99.99% called in via racial profiling. But if a cop was called on me for soliciting in a neighborhood as a white person, I would've cooperated with his questioning. And yes, I've seen neighbors call the cops for solicitors in my neighborhood. As soon as this guy disclosed he wasn't soliciting & it was political, this convo would've been over and cop would've been on his way. This didn't have to be difficult. I understand black dude's frustration but he could've gone the easy way. Innocence and openness will prevail 99.999999999% of the time
“We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong”
And now this fat fuck can continue pushing around innocent civilians to stroke his fragile ego; no lesson is learned and no change is made.
Makes me sick!
even if the police investigate the police and find the police guilty of wrongdoing, the general taxpaying public is issued the fine

@Waffle Doggo Well that example and what happened in this video are two completely different things. The guy could walk away because he wasn't lawfully detained. Even if stayed to have a circular conversation with the cop, he was free to leave at any time. The only reason the cop kept following him and arrested him was his ego, he wanted to run the guy for warrants and stick him up with bullshit charges(which he did and they were all dropped).
What your scenario is about is an potentially dangerous situation. I mean it could be, then again it might not be. Was the officer dealing with an armed suspect, or was he dealing with a guy who was lawfully allowed to carry a weapon?

@Melanin Queen Melanin Queen... That name is pretty racist. Cops don't even mention race as a reason, yet, here you are, singling yourself out. Lets have a big brain moment, yeah?

I've watched a bunch of these videos recently and the common theme across all of them is that all these officer are on huge ego/power trips, and then escalate the situation when law-abiding citizens don't put up with their abuse of authority. The need to be held accountable.
I agree. I’ve seen so many of these videos where these power tripping cops act like this. They can’t stand it when someone knows more than them. I would love to see them all get held accountable but I don’t think it’ll happen unfortunately. I’m a female (contrary to those who call me ‘sir’ or ‘bro’ on here lol I’m not a hater though because I choose to look like this lol) and I had a male officer throw me against his patrol car and got so close to me while screaming in my ear that I felt his penis against my behind. Someone told him someone had warrants but he automatically zeroed in on me when it wasn’t me! I don’t get this type of bully.
This is so so true, it TRUELY bothers me that still agencies are hiring these type of police officers…there should be mandatory classes and training to maintain their egos and use common sense but most important learn to NOT GET JADED!!! Start every interaction giving every person the benefit of not judging them based on ur previous interactions and get better at DEESCALATING situations instead of ESCALATING THEM!!!! Come on it’s 2021 when will things CHANGE?!? Ggggrrrrrr 😡
@Stuey Rubble remember that cop that stayed outside the school as an active shooter mercilessly killed children?..... yup.....
This is why they get so uppidt when they have any interaction that isn't met with refnence or submissivness from the citizen. Even just having a smile on their face will lead the cop to ask 'whats with the attitude' so they can try to provoke the citizen more.
makes me wonder what all these idiot police officers are actually thinking inside their minds when they're getting schooled on laws and rights by a civilian. unless they are actually unknowledgeable, which wouldn't surprise me in the least.
The officer is stammering. He knows he's wrong
Yep and feels guilty hence the stammers. I agree.
That's complete nonsense. If he knew he was wrong, he wouldn't be doing it.
He thinks people need to listen to him. He's used to people listening to him. He knows how to handle three types of people: Those that treat him with respect and deference, those that flee, and those that attack. People that calmly tell him he has no right to stop them and just walk away blow his mind.
