Yes! Was it beneath them to ask if he needed help?! I have a disabled son and he would need help to use a self-checkout as well. Heartbreaking and angering that he was treated that way!
Im shocked that the person in charge of self check out didnt ask if he needed help! I work at lowes and have helped customers with payment on those machines since they can be confusing how to pay with cash. It’s heartbreaking seeing this.
Seeing how distressed and traumatised the disabled man was made my heart absolutely shatter. This is the most disgusting act of police brutality I’ve ever seen. How have we not learned?
The disabled man being treated like that absolutely broke my heart. There were so many things the officers did that were straight up wrong in that encounter. And screw the target employees who thought it was even necessary to call them in the first place! 😢
I came out of a bar one night when I was 24. I realized on the way to my truck that I was too drunk to be driving, so I went to sleep in my truck. It was winter, so I had to keep my truck running with the heater on. About 3 hours later I had 5 cops outside my truck knocking on my window with a flashlight. They finally woke me up and ask what I was doing. I told them I had been at the bar, had drank more than I planned, and knew I was too drunk to be driving. One of the cops was trying to talk the first officer on the scene to give me a DUI because the truck was running, but he said "No". He told him I did the right thing, and tried to find a hotel for me, but because of a lot of forest fires in the area the hotels were full. He took me back to my truck and said to sleep for a couple more hours, that he'd keep an eye out for me. On the way back from trying to find a hotel the cop said, "i appreciate what you did. I have family driving on these roads, and you chose not to drive drunk." I honestly expected I would be going to jail when those cops woke me up. I slept until daylight, and drove on home.
Yeah, I was helping My Dad put a Stereo in his car while he did the brakes. He had been drinking while we were doing it but we were in the driveway for like 4 hours. I saw the cops drive by a few times and didn't think twice until pops got in to start it up to hear the stereo.. The Cops rolled in 2 deep. They claimed since he was in the seat and the ignition was on he was DUI> He went to jail and everything. It took 3 years for him to get rid of it at trial. He argued the fact that two wheels were still off of the vehicle and it never left the driveway that he was innocent of Operation. Cops can be Co(ks sometimes.
Once I pulled into a circle k absolutely hammered and there was 2 cops pumping gas. I tried to pull it off and walked into the store to buy munchies. They met me inside the circle k and kept asking me how much I had drank that night. They questioned me for about 20 minutes and I hadn’t said 1 word. They said they didn’t have time for it and that if I could find a ride they would let me go. So I got a ride and got away with a DUI. Heh. But I don’t drink anymore.
Very true. I was thinking the same when reading the first few lines. DUI is normally how it plays out, especially if you're behind the wheel. Even if you were asleep in the back seat too (DUI) 😐. I'm glad that they listened to you, too. Most people don't have a positive outcome like this.
just so people know it is STILL illegal to be in the drivers seat of your vehicle while you are drunk and the keys are within reach in some states. know your laws and look them up before hand
The drastic differences in the way cops treat other cops and the way they treat civilians, even when they’re committing the same crimes, is actually insane.
@@gustavganzgans9116As inhumane as a certain cult of personality we hear about on the news a lot, unfortunately… That said, I’m glad you care about the victims involved. I do, too.
That drunk driving cop was more of a threat to society than that innocent disabled man who was arrested for literally being too slow at Target. What a disgusting form of hypocrisy.
So hard to watch. So so messed up. Omg painful and heart breaking. The level of unprofessionalality from the employees to the police is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! 🤬
You can tell how polite the disabled man is. You can tell he knows he takes a long time so he didn't bother going to a person, instead the self checkout. Even saying "i didn't take longer than anybody else" which tells me he's self conscious about it. Heartbreaking I hope he's doing ok
@@jojobutterballyahoo28 he really should have and if he didn't then he needs to. I'm going to see if there is a go fund me for him. if not, I'm going to try and make one.
full grown man with a badge gets a DUI, he gets reduced pay and no charge. Me, a 21 year old college student got a DUI, and I get my license confiscated, thrown in an overnight holding cell with a homeless woman who soiled herself and the entire cell, and a court date. Not trying to excuse what I did, I learned my lesson. Just trying to highlight how unfair the difference in treatment is.
I got arrested for driving on a suspended. Didn’t know it was suspended, missed the day to pay reinstatement, has to stay suspended for three months; nothing I can do. Because I’m the only licensed driver in the family, i had to take the risk and drive my fiancé to work so we could still pay our bills. I was pulled over, ticketed, and sent on my way. The first one was a town cop and the second was county. Sometimes its just the cops you deal with
Tbh you're punishment was just. Regardless that you are a 21 y/o college student. The difference is, a Lt. officer, should have been held to a high accountability and been imprisoned for risking the lives of others and breaking oath.
Heartbreaking how they treated that disabled man vs one of their own. Best believe when that cop said "let's make a deal from cop to cop" that was a dose of reality.
Really good comparison. It's just so annoying that they don't help the guy out with checking out his merchandise. They were so dead-set on dealing with a "criminal," they forgot that most people AREN'T
you don't know that the officer who took his time with the fellow officer would have given the disabled man a hard time though. Hell, that particular officer may have paid for the disabled guys things had he been called there instead.
Both should pay big. Target, for their initial call and refusal to help a disabled customer and then the police because they doubled down on Target’s borderline bigotry.
The cops should pay just as big or bigger. They had the discretion in how they acted whereas target can't avoid hiring one bad actor over thousands of employees.
Correct. In the case of lt chew if they could of turned them off those officers would have let him continue driving drunk. You could see they wanted to do just that. Not to mention hear them.
Yeah I don’t even know why they’re allowed to do that. With a job that gives you so much power the camera should always be on cause there are people in the police force that love to abuse their power.
Target personnel should be ashamed of themselves. Instead of helping the disabled gentleman, they call 911. Absolutely terrible. I can't believe what I saw. As for the police, it was self evident they are cruel and despicable.
“You’ve been a lieutenant for 22 years and you don’t know the Miranda rights?” “Yes.” That man’s lawyer is drinking himself into a stupor on that night
"I'm a pretty non emotional person" is so funny following it with a very emotional and angery insult. Just be happy those officers got fired, usually there's no justice for disabled people when they're treated like this.
I couldn't even stomach to finish the disabled mans story. The officers treated this man terribly and the Target employees should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. There's a special place reserved for all involved in this traumatizing event for this man.
I believe it’s more of a shame on Target for treating a customer this way. To then go on to be treated so disgustingly by law enforcement officers is shameful
Cops should be held to a FAR GREATER degree of accountability and responsibility to the laws of their county, state, and country. And giving that disabled man a hard time... Disgusting.
@@InTheEndOnlykindnessMatters bro yes I used to work at a target nothing like this one they see you struggle they help if this happened where I worked Id stop everything im doing and start to bitch at the cops and the people who called the cops and make complaints on both ends because what
I truly hope the disabled man is happy and safe. He didn’t deserve this trauma. Also those target employees should be ashamed! How hard is it to assist someone who is obviously struggling instead you call the cops!!
Me too… I hope someone in a position to investigate or pursue an investigation on his behalf sees this - a hero compelled to see justice done. That was dispicable.
I am just as angry at the Target employees asni am at the police. Not one of them could offer to help him out? They had to CALL THE POLICE??!! Despicable. What a sad society that we are so disconnected from one another. I hope the disabled mans family sued the hell out of that city to teach them that that kind of behavior will never be tolerated.
He should sue Target as well. I'm sure corporate probably wasn't happy with that decision on the employees' part. Also, aren't stores required by the ADA to accommodate disabled people? Pretty sure there's an ADA violation somewhere... @@LilyOfTheTower
A lot of it's deflection of anger, especially in the one with LT. I've had plenty of people hate me for my job before, it usually helps to shift that anger to somewhere else.
I am pretty close friends with a cop. He has told me the body cams are for the cops protection and if anything questionable might happen, cops just turn the body cam off.
Big ups to the man with the disability standing his ground even though he was very clearly scared and confused. I really hope he got a hefty settlement for that nonsense.
It comes as no surprise that the _lack_ of intel le ct and ed uc ation _required_ to be a cop manifests in their ina bility to _co mp re h end_ and uphold the *_O AT H_* they *_S W OR E_* to uphold and protect the C o n s ti tut ion of the United States.
@@bethturner4070Agreed. It's extremely disappointing. A friend I went to highschool with became a Pennsylvania state trooper, and he's even told me countless times how little effort goes into making sure they're hiring intelligent, capable and morally sound individuals. The amount of stories of idiocy and blatant neglect of their sworn oath and duties that goes unchecked is truly astounding and should have the citizens of not only the state, but the country as a whole concerned.
@@jennysaranac4454 Oh it's much worse than that. They make you take an IQ test as part of the screening process to become a cop. Not to see if you're smart enough, but to make sure you're dumb enough to blindly follow orders and not ask too many questions. If you score high, they won't hire you.
Any "cop to cop deals" should result in immediate and permanent termination as well as also face the charges they were willing to overlook for their gang buddy.
@@grimroten3299the first clip the co paid everything pretty amazing he even pulled his taser in him at a point like do you want it to get physical because it’s a cop?
@@klpbanks6109 They were exaggerating a bit because the conversation lasted longer than it would if the driver were not a cop. They also didn't imply they wanted violence. More likely they'd like the cop to treat the other cop like they would treat a civilian...which is less patient when dealing with an obviously impaired driver with multiple calls on their driving. Don't be obtuse.
I feel so bad for the disabled man, I couldn’t imagine how terrifying it is to be arrested in general but imagine being arrested after knowing you did nothing wrong
Followup for the second story: "A criminal information charges Skeens (the officer we saw the bodycam of) with false imprisonment and perjury, which are fourth-degree felonies, and filing a false police report and battery, which are misdemeanors. Nine days after the incident at Target, Skeens, Flores and another officer - Dustin Ketchum - shot and killed Keshawn Thomas at a Valero gas station after they said he had picked up a gun. The police department found that all three officers failed to de-escalate the situation as they argued with Thomas, who was intoxicated. Investigators also determined that Skeens violated department policies when he shot Thomas. Thomas’ family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in connection with the fatal shooting." Disgusting individual.
Why is a cop charged with felonies still in active duty 9 days later? Is that normal? And does a false police report, in this instance or in general, mean that something was specifically falsified in it or that the arrest was not lawful?
I’m flabbergasted with those second officers who don’t even know basic rights of citizens. How the hell did they even pass through the written part of the hiring process. Absolutely disgusting negligence and illegal practice
They’re acting like they don’t know lol, it’s trying to not be liable for having the knowledge. They’re veterans, obviously they know how to counter their own system.
it's especially crazy how they didn't even stop to think or realize that the man could be disabled and would react differently to the situation. i believe all people training to become police officers should have mandatory training on how to communicate effectively and work with disabled people to avoid situations like that. it's clear that the officers didn't understand or care about why the poor man was so stressed and "not cooperating".
And not really understanding what's happening. It makes my blood absolutely BOIL. If that was my child I'd be burning shit down and suing everyone until he got justice. This is horrific. They threaten him with felony charges!! He didn't break the law. Oh man I can't. I just can't.
@@time4me2fly94 I hope it’s a fat pay check for him…he Fing explained himself so well…”look assholes it takes me a while to pull my money out…I didn’t take more time than anyone else…I thought you dumb assholes we’re security.” I’m paraphrasing lol
The lawyer that asked the questions for those cook county officers did AMAZING. Definitely made them look incompetent and showed they should not be in this position of power.
It infuriates me that they gave Brian such an easy time compared to EVERY SINGLE OTHER CITIZEN they have arrested for the same or lesser crime. It is insane just how much corruption is in the justice system.
I think the difference is that they "know" it won't escalate, so they can keep talking without the suspect going nuts/pulling a gun etc. We all know cops can do that but cops generally give cops the benefit of the doubt. I think it's fairly reasonable that this would happen. It shouldn't but I wouldn't be so hard on judging the officer.
They were making it harder. He was completely stressed and anxious . Couldn't even speak anymore. Instead of complaining to cops couldn't they help him and be human for once?
You would think that when they call the cops on the man for taking longer than usual that the cops would be frustrated with the Target employees for calling before trying to help the guy. There's usually someone watching checkout that also assists customers with their transactions, literally could have prevented this whole thing with a little bit of empathy and people doing what they're paid to do.
Target employees didn’t call the police. The police were in the area already and took it on themselves to get involved. Then pressured the target employees into authorising them to trespass the disabled man. It’s being heard in court right now.
That drunk driver cop handled with kid gloves is insane. Even with body cameras, there is no way any other "perp" is treated that gently. 5 minutes, and there isn't 3 other cruisers there, tasers drawn, hands on pistols.
That was straight B's and he still kept working lost nothing unreal but we would all be treated like crap tazed thrown to the ground if we did that and got a ton of charges they should have to face the same things you do something wrong then you should face what you did
I was wondering if their lawyer or union rep tells them to say " I don't know" so they can fight that they need better training or something? you would think the title " law efforment" implies they might know the law, ugh.
The insane levels of "courtesy" and "leniency" that officers give to other officers is quite insane to witness. Meanwhile the average person (even when they have a disability) doesn't even get so much as a fraction of what they display to their "fellow officers" or even allowed to make simple movements without being seen as threatening. Top to bottom, everyone's "looking out for everyone else" which should usually be fine but they take it to the extreme here.
The reason it happens is because when you try to physically arrest another cop they are aware of all the techniques. They know what the arresting officer can and cannot do legally. They are aware of how to fight, how to get out of certain holds and grabs. If 1 cop tries to arrest a civilian good chance they can do it, might need help. A cop trying to arrest another cop its entirely chance. Thats not a risk they can take for a variety of reasons, so they try to appeal to the cop so they can come quietly. They are also likely waiting for backup. Remember, in these cases the cops first job is to de escalate the situation. If they can get the suspect to cooperate without physical harm thats ideal. So they will sometimes try to talk people into going calmly, especially if the subject is not escalating it either Look at how cops are bashed when they immediately go in for grabbing someone and throwing them to the ground for an arrest. Cops dont have to get you second chances but many of them do, many give ALOT of chances because they dont want to A get physical B run the risk of it going wrong.
Horrific really.... Cruel treatment to citizens and ignoring their own coworkers crimes and those of officials in their county or accepting bribes or using their power to abuse people so they won't arrest them 😡
Why was she filming the building in the first place? was she just trying to get a reaction out of police officers or something? She seemed kind of condescending when speaking.
@@strangevisions5162 ?? Y'all sound so stupid when you talk like this 😭 anyone who uses the term "woke" unironically cannot wipe their own ass. What does this even mean?? Use your big boy words
I have a daughter that is high functioning special needs like the man in this video. She can live independently but with supports. It burns me up to see police officers treat him so badly because they don’t understand. These officers clearly scared him. The special needs population wants to live like everyone else. Be patient with them.
I’m disabled could and will probably be considered special needs. But nobody who sees me or meets me would expect it. Anyways, what you said is the truth. We can love who we are, but we would still rather not be disabled and need accommodations. So being rude to us who don’t choose this for ourselves, is really sick. There’s nothing we can do about it. And also most people become disabled or need assistance if they live long enough, so treat people kind bc you might be in their position someday! Glad to hear you’ve raised your daughter well and have he living independently with support! Some families don’t care or don’t understand and people like us end up on the streets and/or dead.
I am a grown man with multiple combat tours and watching that poor gentlemen in Target pleading with the cops brought me to tears. This is why we need to “defund the police”, which truly means we should shift funds from militarizing the police to hiring professionals who can deescalate and/or handle those who are mentally challenged or otherwise distressed and need compassion and mental help rather than jail. And how is it that no one in that Target, employee or customer, couldn’t show come compassion and help that poor man. What a bunch of apathetic skunks we are surrounded by.
agree, well stated. "defund" doesn't mean abolish, it means to stop spending tons of money on military training programs and military gear for civilian "peace keeping." It's unfortunate that retired Seals and Special Forces folks don't have a wider audience to which they can pass along their skills, but civilian police forces should not be their meal tickets in retirement.
I think law enforcement needs to spend a lot more money and time on not only thoroughly training their officers in mental health education but also how to deal with people who are clearly suffering a mental health crisis. Maybe stronger consequences for those officers who treat these people badly and don’t go out of their way to help out more??? They treated that man as if he was a terrible criminal. He was struggling and did not seem dangerous even a little bit. This pulled on my heart strings as well. Maybe also having special positions for specialists on “stand-by” to accompany officers on calls like this. There are several things that should change. Sadly, I don’t see it happening any time soon. We just have to hope and pray that maybe more often than not, there will be a good guy on scene trying to do the right thing to HELP people and not lock them up. Smh. This happens way too often. Prayers for this poor guy and anyone else who has to endure this type of abuse. It’s very wrong. On the same hand though…I still want them to be armed to the teeth if something huge happens!! Mass shootings, riots, looting etc. Isnt it sad that they abuse it??? I’ll shut up. Nothing I say is going to change a thing. Good comment though. I agree, mostly lol
@@l-b284Then use a different word. Defund doesn't mean train and give therapy and teach yoga. Defund = give no money. If you're preaching to DEFUND then you need to know what the hell you're saying.
You’re dumb if you think defunding the police will do anything. Places did that to virtue signal and then complained about all the crime and needing more funds for police after 🤪And every single person who pushes that bs is the first to go “help police” when their feelings are hurt. Let alone real crime. Police Reform. It’s almost like the former is nonsense. And given how many megacorps and politicians supported that attitude you’d think you’d realize it’s not what we need. “Wow the elite who run everything poorly support this thing maybe they have it figured out this one time and these corrupt people won’t be corrupt now!” I have a bridge for sale. It’s a great deal.
POLICE SHOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THEIR CAMERAS AND AUDIO RECORDERS, PERIOD. We are well aware of what would've happened if they turned the cameras off or destroyed the footage. This happens all the time in cases wherein police abuse citizens of this country, and it happens ALL THE TIME.
They should be on all the time. I was in an accident and the officers didn’t have their cameras on so it was my word against theirs when I told them I was a pedestrian struck by a car and he claimed I didn’t tell them. Now I have an injured back and no money for treatment because he didn’t want to do the paperwork and tell the truth
@@lucasrhys0363 take off the jacket its attached to. Or have it so dispatch controls the cameras? And only they can cut the feed when bathroom is involved?
The craziest thing in the second story is that he was clearly at a self-checkout lane. The employee that is supposed to be there is to supervise AND assist as needed. I’m sure if they observed him attempting to pay or even spoken to him, they’d see he’d need more time, or (if they’re allowed to) help him scan his items and pay for the items. I’m sure they were too “inconvenienced” to want to make that effort. The cops were also so impatient with him and didn’t even take the time to notice some accommodations might be needed in this situation. Hearing him say “I didn’t do anything wrong” breaks my heart and makes this one of the hardest things I’ve seen on this app. I also hope the employee that was supposed to be in the self-checkout was also fired because that’s insane Target’s reaction was to involve the cops instead of just… helping him. You could clearly see all his cash on the register as if he was getting it ready to pay.
Right? The way police acted is shitty, but who the fuck calls the cops on a disabled dude clearly trying to pay for his things? I want to hear that call. How did the operator manage to not say "what the fuck is wrong with you?" to whoever called the cops?
That was so sad. Shame on the employee who called police. It’s so sad nobody tried to help him. If I was there I would have helped him. What is wrong with people that they have no compassion anymore?
@@Bi0R0achjust curious, do other countries really think that’s how the law works here? Because I’d DEFINITELY understand if they did but that’s just really saying something fr
Omg. I literally can’t stop crying. That poor man. I’m sobbing bc he’s begging to just pay his money and keeps saying “I wasn’t taking any longer than other people”. I hate that cop. No f in heart. He clearly can’t understand.
The people at the store who called them are equally if not even more at fault, they called the cops because he was "taking too long" BS hope his family sued them
It's kidnapping and official oppression Multiple TRAP violation Interfering with a 911 call. For the minimum violations and stealing from the taxpayers because we do not pay them to do this
"Soo what are you in for?" "..... Taking too long to buy groceries" I cannot even believe the employees called the police on him!? WHY!!!? Everyone involved should be fired and not just the police, absolutely disgusting.
People have absoultely no empathy or understanding of mental illness. There were so many times where someone could have just went up to him and asked if he needed some help.
This compilation is a perfect example of how horrible the policing in this country is. The saddest part is, regular citizens are imprisoned for decades and killed every year by these 🐖. And they are punished very little to none. It’s sickening no wonder why people despise them so much.
Exactly this. And this isn't even saying that ALL cops are this way, but collectively we are too slow in acknowledging the many systemic problems with the system that need to be addressed. In academia a lot of it is obvious, but there is a disconnect between data and making changes. A big part of it is politics. Politicians who suggest changes in policing get vilified as being "anti-police" or soft on crime.
The Target incident was heartbreaking. What happened to a staff member helping him sort his bills out, having a laugh with him, finding out his back story, it's surprising how quick that information comes out organically during an interaction of assistance. I worked in a neurosurgical ward for several years, where young folk came in with traumatic head/brain injury from everything from a horse kick to auto crash. All very long term stay patients as they then maybe came out of comas and maybe learned to walk, talk eat, speak again. Sometimes surgery involved, sometimes not. I want to reach out and hold onto this young man and tell him nothing like this will ever happen again, but i never thought it ever could happen in the first place... ever. Not our patients, not our police. My heart is breaking. These people are family to us.❤.
You do not have to have much experience to see that this man has a handicap. Those target employees were wrong in the first place and the cops made it even worse. What kind of society do we want to live in?!
It broke my heart to pieces. I am physically disabled and have experienced regular people judge me for it but I cannot imagine being that man and not understanding what was going on. They didn’t even have a reason why…. I hope the man is okay now😔
@@gracecarnefix5062My daughter's name is Grace❤. I always imagined because of conditions like Multiple sclerosis and others that we automatically assume disabled people are far less cognitively impaired than they might "appear" - if only for the very real fact that none of us are medical/neurological experts, and even if we were, there are no reliable ways of immediately assessing a person's cognitive function let alone alone ability. Look at Stephen Hawkings... iq of @160 with Lou Gehrigs Disease. The wonderful man who wrote "My Left Foot" - Christy Brown - Cerebral Palsy... considered back in the 20th century an "id*ot".

They know the law. If they don't play dumb and pretend that they don't know, they lose their Qualified Immunity. And the only thing that skips their Qualified Immunity is if there is explicitly a court decision on that exact matter. Yes EXACT. This is why Qualified Immunity is one of the worst things to happen to our legal system. It's not weighed against what every person should know. Its based around what they admit to personally knowing.
Right to know your accuser and all that. Honestly, if you know someone is bad enough to merit it, there's better ways of dealing with bad people than complaining about them...
I love how in 90% of these cases the first and major concern of the cops is "has this been recorded". It's clear that they learned nothing and still offer each other special treatment when the cameras aren't rolling. Disgusting individuals
This is a man with nearly 30 years on the force who pretended not to know what the Miranda rights are, there's only two options for what he is and neither of them are good
It's insane to think how the implementation of body cameras have completely changed the game. While thinking about this, I can only imagine life where police didn't use to have body cameras. The amount of civilians who were harassed(or done worse) by cops, being swept under the rug because they could make up their own scenarios to the department and courts.. And even more terrifying.. Seeing the amount of dirty cops who probably got off the hook more easier, because their buddy was able to cover for them.
I agree with you but I also want to mention this fact…it wasn’t only other officers who got off more easily. Many others in society did as well. For example, my papaw was an alcoholic. He drank and drove all the time. Regularly. They’d pass him, knowing he was more often drunk than not and do nothing. They would pull him over if they received a call or if papaw was passed out, etc…He often ran from them and he was such a good driver(insanely good from what I’ve been told by older cops and his friends when I was younger)he would get away. He drove like a madman from what I’ve been told. The cops would let the family know they were looking for papaw and sometimes they’d come pick him up the next day once he got home. Sometimes, they wouldn’t. Other times, they’d come get him and take him to the hospital when he was having dt’s(I think that’s what it’s called)and help hold him down at the hospital while he was hallucinating. So, my point is, back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, there were lots of people like my papaw getting favors from the police, when they should’ve been in jail. Not just fellow officers. Times have just changed all the way around. Thankfully! As much as I love my papaw and know he was just very sick, he needed to be locked up. He was putting other peoples lives in danger.
Target staff at that store should be ashamed - that poor guy. Honest customers, no matter how slow, especially ones that are struggling, should never have to go through this just cos the karen-manager didnt like that he was slower than the 'normal' customers. I nearly cried watching this bit. This world is so cruel.
Since then they give us some very clear and concise training on people with disabilities and assisting them. I just got hired and I had a long video and exam on how to handle situations like this, like assisting them and asking them if they need help with anything. This Target really fucked up.
I used to work at a grocery store. Whenever I encountered a costumer who needed more help than usual, I tried my best to help them out and keep them calm. I never blamed them for their situation. It made me sad seeing this man with all of his money out struggling to purchase..
How much better it would have been had the cops just helped this man check out and offer him a ride. Target should be ashamed for calling the cops at all on this poor man.
I work for target n there was a lady that obviously was crazy and on drugs so I talked to her calmly to get her away from harassing a man. That man obviously needed help, it’s sad that ppl see him n didn’t try to help.
There aren't enough words to describe just how angry it's made me seeing that poor gentleman just trying to buy his goods. How dare they put him through that?!?! And they wonder why there's no trust for police, when they target the most vulnerable and treat them as though they are some animal.
@loricook6331 I don't overlook target, but police officers are supposed to protect the most vulnerable in their community. They should be aware of the difference between someone acting up and someone who has obvious disabilities as can be seen with the gentleman. They should also have training on how best to safeguard someone in this kind of situation. They could have entered this situation, paid for his bike for him (as in putting the cash in the machine for him as he clearly struggles with his gross motor skills) and reprimanded target staff for their poor management of this situation, but instead they came in and escalated the matter further. Target didn't put their hands on him, the police officers did. Neither of them are right in this situation, but as I said, police officers have a duty of care, which they failed to ensure happened.
That poor man/women (Not really sure) is going to need 200 fanny packs to hold all the money he's going to win from the County who put him through all that hell for no reason. The Cop who was whistling through the entire false imprisonment really pissed me off.
That one was particularly hard to watch... I have an autistic cousin and I know how scared she'd be if this happened to her; Especially if they touched her at all. She wouldnt understand how cops even expect a compliant person to act. Hell, it would be scary for most people if a couple of big guys with guns suddenly grabbed you out of store & threw you in their SUV for seemingly no good reason.
Not ONE of the MOB of cops who was there questioned what they were doing! Protect and serve my ass. BASICALLY UNDERSTANDING an individuals constitutional rights as well as THE LAW might be a good thing!?!?! Understand those with disabilities and access the god damn situation!?!? Are they running out the store with goods!?!? @@Mattblaze1477
As a disabled person myself (I’m autistic) I’m often asked why I’m so scared of cops. I have never had an encounter with a cop that has been positive. I’ve had my meltdown due to overstimulation be interpreted as me being a threat to others and myself (despite me just sitting on the curb of the pavement, without people near me other than my best friend. I was put in handcuffs and screamed at for “not cooperating” which made things worse. My bsf tried to explain to the officer that I was having a meltdown and that I am autistic and he’s making it worse. His partner just leaned on the car and watched. And old woman watching called the fire department who came and, despite dealing with fires and despite dealing with people living mental health issues a lot less than cops, managed to get me out of hand cuffs and managed to calm me down. I wasn’t taken to the station or had any charge for “resisting an officer” cuz of them The world is extremely unsafe for disabled people and it’s scary and exhausting having to navigate the world almost blindly. Also, things like this and things like the one that happened to me is EXTREMELY traumatic. I’m talking like almost life long trauma
Allow me to say, you’re not disabled! Lowlife people are disabled!! You’re a person with amazing abilities, and what makes you special is that you have more humanity than anyone else!
As a mostly able person, it always shocks me how there are people witnessing this and saying nothing. If I were an employee? I'm telling the officers he isn't doing anything wrong and helping the man pay. Customer? I might be throwing hands to be honest. And berating the staff who called them about it to. I get that same nervous energy and the heat of embarrassment when I'm noticed, same as everyone else but I never let stuff like that go.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you! ❤ not only am I enraged, I'm terrified for my own autistic child's future. They're 5 right now, but I so often worry about how others may treat them. And to see and hear that the very people who are supposed to help and protect are doing more harm, it's devastating. With awareness of disabilities coming so far (still not dar enough obv) why aren't police being trained on how to deal with those situations
@@ecfog7120 my best advice honestly is to teach them (at an appropriate age) that police and others can be dangerous for them, not as a fear mongering thing but as an awareness. I was always scared of authority figures as a kid so I learned that fast but some other autistics aren’t, and that can be a very brutal lesson. Try your very best to equip your child with all the tools they could possibly need ❤️❤️
The level of entitlement from the lieutenant is genuinely terrifying. You know this has happened a LOT from how he’s acting. It truly makes you wonder just what types of crimes cops have covered for each other.
I can tell you it has happened a lot. I spent 18 years as sheriffs deputy. But it did not happen In my county and on my shift. I was shift command. I arrested a county board member for DUI. The sheriff threatened me. He was not in office much longer. We arrested 3 of our own deputies. And many cops from many other jurisdictions. That one was damn lucky he had not been stopped by me he would of of drug out of his truck and in cuffs after about 30 seconds of acting like an ass!!
This is exactly why so many people are calling for police reform, hearing them talk about being able to find out who called as if they were going to retaliate against them is insane
I don't condone drinking & driving but what cops deal with & horrors they've seen in their career I can understand why they drink their problems away . Lots of people get DUI's & don't lose their entire career over it . I believe in second chances, counseling & desk duty. His resistance is due to fear of losing his career not because he wants to get out of a dui. I'm astonished the 58:47 lieutenant got fired he complied a hell of a lot better than the first lieutenant that got to keep his job. It's a real shame cuz u know his fellow officers love & respect him.
The way Brian was so adamant about sleeping it off shows how many times he has gotten away with it. It almost seems like that is standard procedure for him getting pulled over for dui.
27 years and doesn't know that he can't just detain/arrest people because he feels like it.....ridiculous. What are they doing over there in the U.S. training absolute peanuts to become officers.
They were completely trash those cops and merely on a power trip because she didnt do what they wanted ! I love how the attorney completely embarrassed them and made them look stupid !!!
What i want to know as "the case drags on for years" is are they one paid or unpaid leave during all this, or are people that confessed they have no idea what the law is are still on the streets arresting people? How can i, a random guy from Scotland, know more about the American legal process just from watching COPS and worlds wildest police videos than these two with literal DECADES of experience and you would hope training. Did not even know what the Miranda rights were.
as a target employee, not even target but if you’re just an employee, and you see a customer STRUGGLING… why call the police?? you are an employee for a reason and you should HELP? everyone was so disgustingly bad in that situation
I have seen the disabled man being arrested at Target a few times now. It never ceases to completely disgust me. My mom is disabled and if she was treated like this there would be hell to pay
It comes as no surprise that the _lack_ of intel le ct and ed uc ation _required_ to be a cop manifests in their ina bility to _co mp re h end_ and uphold the *_O AT H_* they *_S W OR E_* to uphold and protect the C o n s ti tut ion of the United States.
@@IllustriousCrocoduck Eventually all claims were dismissed against the cops & others. She got a $15K settlement from the County, but that probably went to her lawyer. Basically the reason was that she was videoing the _inside_ of the courthouse when the doors opened, & there's a rule against _that_ .
It's amazing to me the third case is still open. Absolutely crazy to me the evidence of their incompetence isn't mountainous enough to put them out of law enforcement. Holy crap law enforcement is corrupt.
I have never been more ANGRY in my life watching those corrupt police treating that poor disabled man, I am actually crying watching it but I also put the blame on TARGET calling them in the first place, thank God I live in the UK if this happened here the coppers would be immediately sacked being disabled myself I just cannot fathom how those bullies get away with it!!!

My heart broke for that poor man. I'm so angry at the Target employees! They didn't try to talk to him or help him, they just stood by, probably talked about him behind his back, then called the cops.
@@soraya377yep. Cops are of the most dishonest, murderous, entitled, & abusive people we’re ever likely to encounter in society at large. In spite of a lot of recent progress, I still don’t think the average member of the public really grasps the true amount of power that an average, everyday cop can wield. That, & the fact that a pretty big chunk of the population are actively rooting for shitbag cop behavior.
You can hear the fear of retaliation in the voice of those doing the arrests especially those arresting their own hire ups. The amount of entitlement in some of these cops with no remorse is insane.
Cops in these videos are an organization of criminals who are police officers who are law breakers wearing a uniform title of police officer breaking the law.
@mildredmorine745 a lot of them do become cops because they want to break the law, I know of someone who tried to do exactly that. Which is why it's important to get rid of this type of "cop supremacy" from within the police departments
Dude, cops, solicitors, and judges should actually get _harsher_ punishments, as they know and enforce the law, and should be seen to be setting an example.
Should, maybe. But I'd take a "are treated just the same as everyone else" for a start. It's awful how many people get away with sh*t because of where they work at.
When the cop whose only purpose is to enforce laws answers that question about probable cause for a crime and she just says, “I don’t know the law exactly.” 😂
I’m a criminal defense attorney. I see the police do some dark things and also some brilliant things from time to time. That situations with the disabled man, however, was the first time I’ve been brought to tears over police action. What a world we live in….
It is very sad. I worked with individuals with disabilities. It’s depressing how many ppl try to take advantage of them or act like they’re lesser in some way. Went to a cell phone store with this disabled married couple once & one employee at the store was acting super pushy in trying to get the woman to buy a cell phone or some plan with them that they told them they already have. The man was firm with saying no, but the woman was acting super nervous and always just wanted to please people. She had commonly spent large amounts on things she didn’t want/couldn’t afford just because of that. I can’t control them from spending their own $, but I had to barge in and was like “they said no, they don’t want it. Ok?”And led them out of the store. The lady and her husband thanked me for helping them get out of that situation. I ended up being their favorite person to have working for them lol. It’s sad seeing this man alone and vulnerable like this. It makes me happy I could be there to advocate for my former clients though.
@@rufio171? Disabled does not mean they're stupid, he probably has had to learn the law to protect himself from others calling cops on him as well. Instead of asking if he needed help first, they probably assumed he was under the influence of something.
@@justmejust4553the case is over. She was awarded 15k and both officers are still employed so besides public embarrassment nothing happened. That’s why I hate videos like that, those 2 officers should be fired but instead they get to keep there jobs and pensions while the tax payers have to pay that 15k.
How this isn’t a requirement already is beyond me. Like why do we have officers who with no problem at all, sit there and go “I don’t know the law” like what!?
I guess if you have a clean record 🤷 you can go to cop school get a badge and gun ( and not know the law ) and pull over people for anything you want. 😉
The second gentleman broke my heart. how can someone bully someone so vulnerable? I would be embarrased if one of my family members treated someone with such lack of empathy
The second one where they treated the disabled guy like that is unreal. They are monsters for that one. They could have just helped him and be done in 5 minutes. If either of them get to be cops again we are doomed
FRRR nah bc the target employees coulda just helped him fr how hard is it to just go up and be like "hii do u need some help?" literally simple fix people are crazy
I can't believe even a customer didn't step up to help him. If the staff is going to be horrid I would hope a fellow shopper wouldn't be. Although they'd probably get arrested too for interfering.
not just the cops but the employees too couldve easily helped him and as a employee you def shouldve instead of calling the fucking cops all are horrible people except the disabled man
I, I believe, would care enough to try and help the person. I wouldn't care what anyone else thought about that. It does not cost us to be kind to others.
I found the case to be compelling as well. I was under the impression that Target cant choose not to serve someone based on a protected class. I mean when I drive uber I cant refuse someone because they have a service dog, even though as a general rule I don't allow animals in my car. So how is it that Target and call the police to have them aide in their discrimination by removing him because he was taking too long when the reason he was taking long is because he has a disability.
That deposition footage is wild. That officer saying she doesnt know when an officer is allowed to detain someone would be absolutely hilarious if an innocent woman hadnt been unlawfully arrested because of it.
I hope someone filed a Lawsuit against both that Police department and TARGET ON THIS MANS BEHALF!!!!! THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!! TAKING TOO LONG TO CHECK OUT IS AGAINST THE LAW?!!!! THESE POLICE OFFICERS ARE A DISGRACE TO OUR MEN IN BLUE!!!! THEY COULDN'T JUST HELP THE POOR DISABLED MAN CHECK OUT HIS GROCERIES?!!!!!
Honestly, those cops harassing those that are impaired - physically or mentally- should be fired and placed in jail. That clip with the Target customer was absolutely disgusting.
All the target staff had to do was give him a hand and all this could have been avoided, I hate that we live in a world where helping people is seen as an inconvenience, the police could also have assisted him and helped him to move on
Right. If I were the senior on the scene, I would have helped him check out and dared target or my precinct to have a problem with it. Also, that's probably why I wouldn't last long as a cop.
For anyone curious, the cop in the disabled man story is Kenneth Skeens and he had a long history of excessive violence with multiple reports and complaints filed against him. He was also involved in the fatal shooting of Keshawn Thomas (a drunk black man) after they harassed and badgered him, escalating the situation from a drunk sleeping off the booze in a gas station parking lot to 16 shots fired. Another officer in the video, Marcos Flores, was ALSO involved in that fatal shooting... so you have two cops who are clearly buddy buddy involved in the same bullshit in 2 separate high profile fuck-ups. If you live in New Mexico please be on the look out for officer Marcos Flores, he has a high likelihood to kill you for no reason and lie about it on the report, stay safe out there.
Stories you gave are completely irrelevant and the disabled man should NOT have been in society without help. He was holding up the line for what you can assume was 30 minutes+. Bro had 20 bills sprawled across the scanner and couldn't even realize who police were. People shouldn't have to deal with that BS
@@sylvariatzaka People SHOULD have to deal with that BS, are you insane? Do you know what a Cashier or Sales Associate is? Stores hire people SPECIFICALLY to deal with situations exactly like this and in normal situations would handle the problem themselves. In this case they called corrupt crooked cops instead of doing their damn jobs and you're defending them my guy? REALLY? C'mon now, you can't be this stupid.
@@sylvariatzakathat you think the appropriate response to what you described is arresting that man says a lot about you and your community. None of its good. It’s quite disturbing.
Does anyone else ever wonder why it's necessary to have a law degree to argue and defend the law, but NOT to enforce it directly on the front lines? Like I have ZERO faith that one cop in this country knows even half of the laws a lawyer knows. THAT is frightening.
I want to be a cop, but I am actively getting a bachelors in criminal justice first!! I believe as associates or bachelors should be required. I know more of the law then these cops in less than two years of school. It is genuinely insane to watch some of these.
Sometimes i think when the cops say "I cant do that because there is cameras" they are actually relieved they can use the cameras as an excuse. Like the state police officer who stopped the chief deputy said "Ive got family out here on these roads." I believe he would've arrested him without the cameras.
For the good cops, I'm sure the bodycams work in their favor because they have an excuse to not let them get away with it. I'm sure before bodycams, they felt torn between the right thing and the thing that could cost them their job and make themselves enemies in their own work place. Especially if they're arresting someone above their rank.
I agree 100%. If a cop says "you know I can't do that because of the cameras" he's not saying I would if it weren't for these cameras. He's telling the person in trouble that "I have no control and you know it"
thank you! I was coming to post this same point. I agree, dude was gonna do it without the cameras too, but hes just telling they guy, this isnt my fault, i have to do it.
That shouldn't really be upsetting to you. What should be upsetting is that they aren't *obligated* or *required* to know the law right up until they fuck it up badly.
I almost cried watching the disabled man getting bullied by both the Target employees and the police. The police are supposed to HELP you not intimidate you and arrest you for absolutely no good reason. I have disabilities myself and it’s so sad watching someone with disabilities get treated so horribly by these bullies… I will NEVER be shopping at Target again!
As an autistic person, for Target becoming “inclusive” you would think they would teach their employees about disabled people and how we are NOT a threat and function just like everyone else despite our disability. It’s not fair to be treated like this because neurotypical people simply don’t understand us😒
"Inclusive" just means more equal access to money, not the person. They could really care less about how the other person was unless they were their upper boss.
The second story here was absolutely disgusting to see this behavior out of the police. The guy was literally doing his best to buy stuff. It's not like he was even doing a crime or anything that is even against store policy. He literally took a little longer to pay for groceries, and they called the police on him. He shouldn't even have to provide ID.
This is the system working like it's intended to work. Stakeholders and shareholders of the franchise don't give a fuck about anything other than money, so the location manager is paid the exact amount to make him only think about money too, they see this disabled man buying food with money and their perspective on that is that the cripple isn't handing over his money fast enough, so let's call the cops and put this cripple in jail. The function of a human is to hand over money, if you don't hand over your money fast enough, it's fuck you and you are literally worthless. It's a downward cycle of people learning this is how life is supposed to be (not even mentioning how cops specifically get trained to disregard human aspects of their job).
@@texasrefugee7888 The fact that you will not shop at target again means nothing to them . What money you spend there is pocket change to them. So I doubt they care if you never shop there again. I am also disgusted with what happened to that poor man. But target is not going to miss your money
@@BonnieEatabrooks your argument holds no ground because why the hell do you care what they care about? If he doesnt want to shop there now atleast he will have a better conscience. Don't give a fuck abot how companies behave, its despicaple 90% of the time anyway.
Refusing to Identify yourself is NOT the same thing as “Concealing” one’s identity. That would entail using a fake ID, providing false information, disgusting oneself etc.
The Target employees that called the cops on that disabled man are despicable. They could’ve easily just helped him pay for his things. Disgusting.
Yes! Was it beneath them to ask if he needed help?! I have a disabled son and he would need help to use a self-checkout as well. Heartbreaking and angering that he was treated that way!
Im shocked that the person in charge of self check out didnt ask if he needed help! I work at lowes and have helped customers with payment on those machines since they can be confusing how to pay with cash. It’s heartbreaking seeing this.
Absolutely, man, I would have ended up getting trespassed myself, telling them how much of a piece of shit they are for calling the cops
@@ZephyrusAsmodeus 🙌 Right there with you!
Agree 💯👍
Seeing how distressed and traumatised the disabled man was made my heart absolutely shatter. This is the most disgusting act of police brutality I’ve ever seen. How have we not learned?
That part was so hard to watch... =/
I'm currently watching it and trying so hard to keep my tears from falling
The staff in the store is as heartless and disgusting as the police officers. Why couldn't they just help this man.
Makes me sick.
And the police man was going to his car and just whistling. It makes me sick!
The disabled man being treated like that absolutely broke my heart. There were so many things the officers did that were straight up wrong in that encounter. And screw the target employees who thought it was even necessary to call them in the first place! 😢
Me too 😢😢😢
Instead of Target calling the cops. How about helping the poor guy check out. What`s wrong with people.
ZERO compassion at all. FTP!
People are so cruel nowadays
So disabled people aren’t aloud to be arrested? That’s ableist
“We’ve got cameras, it’s not like it used to be.” This is EXACTLY why cops need to be recorded AT ALL TIMES
Absolutely. Sad that the only examples of "good cops" in this video are the ones with "tied hands" because of body cameras.
the problem is storage space thats the only reeason they can turn it off
@@annastocchi8086 no tthats a lie anna search cops that bust other cops, some of them are badasses!!
@@annastocchi8086exactly
Right. I was shook that the first cop was only doing the right thing bc he’s being recorded, not because this man was drunk swerving on the road
I came out of a bar one night when I was 24. I realized on the way to my truck that I was too drunk to be driving, so I went to sleep in my truck. It was winter, so I had to keep my truck running with the heater on. About 3 hours later I had 5 cops outside my truck knocking on my window with a flashlight. They finally woke me up and ask what I was doing. I told them I had been at the bar, had drank more than I planned, and knew I was too drunk to be driving.
One of the cops was trying to talk the first officer on the scene to give me a DUI because the truck was running, but he said "No". He told him I did the right thing, and tried to find a hotel for me, but because of a lot of forest fires in the area the hotels were full. He took me back to my truck and said to sleep for a couple more hours, that he'd keep an eye out for me. On the way back from trying to find a hotel the cop said, "i appreciate what you did. I have family driving on these roads, and you chose not to drive drunk." I honestly expected I would be going to jail when those cops woke me up. I slept until daylight, and drove on home.
props to him for following the spirit of the law vs the letter. and props to you for making the correct decision
Yeah, I was helping My Dad put a Stereo in his car while he did the brakes. He had been drinking while we were doing it but we were in the driveway for like 4 hours. I saw the cops drive by a few times and didn't think twice until pops got in to start it up to hear the stereo.. The Cops rolled in 2 deep. They claimed since he was in the seat and the ignition was on he was DUI> He went to jail and everything. It took 3 years for him to get rid of it at trial. He argued the fact that two wheels were still off of the vehicle and it never left the driveway that he was innocent of Operation. Cops can be Co(ks sometimes.
Once I pulled into a circle k absolutely hammered and there was 2 cops pumping gas. I tried to pull it off and walked into the store to buy munchies. They met me inside the circle k and kept asking me how much I had drank that night. They questioned me for about 20 minutes and I hadn’t said 1 word. They said they didn’t have time for it and that if I could find a ride they would let me go. So I got a ride and got away with a DUI. Heh. But I don’t drink anymore.
Very true. I was thinking the same when reading the first few lines. DUI is normally how it plays out, especially if you're behind the wheel. Even if you were asleep in the back seat too (DUI) 😐. I'm glad that they listened to you, too. Most people don't have a positive outcome like this.
just so people know it is STILL illegal to be in the drivers seat of your vehicle while you are drunk and the keys are within reach in some states. know your laws and look them up before hand
The drastic differences in the way cops treat other cops and the way they treat civilians, even when they’re committing the same crimes, is actually insane.
Gotta protect your own, sadly for a majority of cops it's 'us vs them' and normal civilians are not part of 'us' either.

So hard to watch. So so messed up. Omg painful and heart breaking. The level of unprofessionalality from the employees to the police is UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! 🤬
I'd genuinely be more concerned if someone took way less time rather than a few minutes to an hour.
You can tell how polite the disabled man is. You can tell he knows he takes a long time so he didn't bother going to a person, instead the self checkout. Even saying "i didn't take longer than anybody else" which tells me he's self conscious about it. Heartbreaking I hope he's doing ok
The cop has been fired and arrested
The worst part is, they take his money and charge him room and board to stay in jail. 😢 he should’ve gotten a payday out of this.

That disabled man broke my heart. Literally made me cry. The world is so cruel and unfair.
Happens a lot to people with mental disability, "acting suspicious" is a fair cause for most officers.
shame on the target for calling the cops instead of simply helping.
It made a LOT of us cry, it was absolutely terrible.
That was Targets fault. They should have helped the man. Once the business says they want someone trespassed, that’s what they have to do.
He had his money scattered out. Clearly, he was trying to figure it out. They all were wrong for his treatment!
full grown man with a badge gets a DUI, he gets reduced pay and no charge. Me, a 21 year old college student got a DUI, and I get my license confiscated, thrown in an overnight holding cell with a homeless woman who soiled herself and the entire cell, and a court date. Not trying to excuse what I did, I learned my lesson. Just trying to highlight how unfair the difference in treatment is.
I got arrested for driving on a suspended. Didn’t know it was suspended, missed the day to pay reinstatement, has to stay suspended for three months; nothing I can do. Because I’m the only licensed driver in the family, i had to take the risk and drive my fiancé to work so we could still pay our bills. I was pulled over, ticketed, and sent on my way. The first one was a town cop and the second was county. Sometimes its just the cops you deal with
Let's not even talk about the cost, the amount of time with the classes etc and unlike this officer, I plead guilty and was remorseful.
Always remember that. There's. Two tier justice system. Cops and rich people are not the same as us and these thugs know it.
Tbh you're punishment was just. Regardless that you are a 21 y/o college student. The difference is, a Lt. officer, should have been held to a high accountability and been imprisoned for risking the lives of others and breaking oath.
ok?
Heartbreaking how they treated that disabled man vs one of their own. Best believe when that cop said "let's make a deal from cop to cop" that was a dose of reality.
Heartbreaking is how Target treated him. They should have helped him, but they’re trash anyway.
@@delilahrainelle7158agreed, Target seems to only want a certain clientele.
Really good comparison. It's just so annoying that they don't help the guy out with checking out his merchandise. They were so dead-set on dealing with a "criminal," they forgot that most people AREN'T
Yeah. If they didn't have cameras recording, you know how it would go.
you don't know that the officer who took his time with the fellow officer would have given the disabled man a hard time though. Hell, that particular officer may have paid for the disabled guys things had he been called there instead.
Lawyer: "Are you familiar with the fourth amendment?"
Officer: "...Vaguely." 🤣🤣
I have a disabled son and this case infuriated me! Target should pay BIG for this
Both should pay big. Target, for their initial call and refusal to help a disabled customer and then the police because they doubled down on Target’s borderline bigotry.
It does for me too...that the staff called the cops cause the man was talking to long to pay?
What the actually fk..
The cops should pay just as big or bigger. They had the discretion in how they acted whereas target can't avoid hiring one bad actor over thousands of employees.
I haven't been to a Target store years ago when they started allowing bearded men in a dress into the women's room with your little girls.

Agreed but I don't expect anything less from the "tolerant" left leaning Target so I'm not shocked at all

F target. I will NEVER shop there again.
I believe it’s more of a shame on Target for treating a customer this way. To then go on to be treated so disgustingly by law enforcement officers is shameful
More like soul-less, and cruel.
All of a sudden a very common expression of "if you could go back and do it differently, would you?" is suddenly a very puzzling, unusual question?
Cops should be held to a FAR GREATER degree of accountability and responsibility to the laws of their county, state, and country. And giving that disabled man a hard time... Disgusting.
And the Target employees that called also are disgusting.
No wonder when the shit happens peeps don’t call these corrupt fucks in our society😢
@@InTheEndOnlykindnessMatters bro yes I used to work at a target nothing like this one they see you struggle they help if this happened where I worked Id stop everything im doing and start to bitch at the cops and the people who called the cops and make complaints on both ends because what
Time To let these companies know we will not stand for this disgusting abuse On our disabled citizens. Don't give target your money anymore.
I fully agree with you.
I truly hope the disabled man is happy and safe. He didn’t deserve this trauma. Also those target employees should be ashamed! How hard is it to assist someone who is obviously struggling instead you call the cops!!
Especially since it's their fucking job
Me too… I hope someone in a position to investigate or pursue an investigation on his behalf sees this - a hero compelled to see justice done. That was dispicable.
I am just as angry at the Target employees asni am at the police. Not one of them could offer to help him out? They had to CALL THE POLICE??!! Despicable. What a sad society that we are so disconnected from one another.
I hope the disabled mans family sued the hell out of that city to teach them that that kind of behavior will never be tolerated.
He should sue Target as well. I'm sure corporate probably wasn't happy with that decision on the employees' part. Also, aren't stores required by the ADA to accommodate disabled people? Pretty sure there's an ADA violation somewhere... @@LilyOfTheTower
Every time an officer says “it’s not like it used to be”, I realize how important body cams are.
Amen to that!
It should of never been "like it used to be", you should see the incompetence in the Tampa Police Dept and some of the county's deputies, stgs, etc.
A lot of it's deflection of anger, especially in the one with LT. I've had plenty of people hate me for my job before, it usually helps to shift that anger to somewhere else.
The irony is that where they are needed most, body cams are nonexistent.
I am pretty close friends with a cop. He has told me the body cams are for the cops protection and if anything questionable might happen, cops just turn the body cam off.
I will never shop at a Target store again! Target called the Gestapo on the disabled person for "taking too long to pay." OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Target is always pulling outrageous s___ like Wal-Mart, supposedly lol
Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Big ups to the man with the disability standing his ground even though he was very clearly scared and confused. I really hope he got a hefty settlement for that nonsense.

These guilty cops are so intellectually incompetent that they lack the MINIMAL competence REQUIRED to RECOGNIZE their own incompetence.

@@jennysaranac4454 Oh it's much worse than that. They make you take an IQ test as part of the screening process to become a cop. Not to see if you're smart enough, but to make sure you're dumb enough to blindly follow orders and not ask too many questions. If you score high, they won't hire you.
Any "cop to cop deals" should result in immediate and permanent termination as well as also face the charges they were willing to overlook for their gang buddy.
As well as not being able to continue in the profession in and of itself. No transferring to another department.

@@klpbanks6109 They were exaggerating a bit because the conversation lasted longer than it would if the driver were not a cop. They also didn't imply they wanted violence. More likely they'd like the cop to treat the other cop like they would treat a civilian...which is less patient when dealing with an obviously impaired driver with multiple calls on their driving.
Don't be obtuse.
I feel so bad for the disabled man, I couldn’t imagine how terrifying it is to be arrested in general but imagine being arrested after knowing you did nothing wrong
Followup for the second story: "A criminal information charges Skeens (the officer we saw the bodycam of) with false imprisonment and perjury, which are fourth-degree felonies, and filing a false police report and battery, which are misdemeanors.
Nine days after the incident at Target, Skeens, Flores and another officer - Dustin Ketchum - shot and killed Keshawn Thomas at a Valero gas station after they said he had picked up a gun.
The police department found that all three officers failed to de-escalate the situation as they argued with Thomas, who was intoxicated. Investigators also determined that Skeens violated department policies when he shot Thomas.
Thomas’ family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit in connection with the fatal shooting."
Disgusting individual.
OMGGGGG 😢😢😢😭😭 that is disgusting and not right! These officers don't even know the law but are allowed to enforce it??? How does that make sense..
Omg no! 😢
This man needed to go to jail.
Cop, no cop, jail.
Why is a cop charged with felonies still in active duty 9 days later? Is that normal?
And does a false police report, in this instance or in general, mean that something was specifically falsified in it or that the arrest was not lawful?
You missed the fact that they woke him up, he was asleep in his car.
I’m flabbergasted with those second officers who don’t even know basic rights of citizens. How the hell did they even pass through the written part of the hiring process. Absolutely disgusting negligence and illegal practice

@@endemic117that's a good point.
it's especially crazy how they didn't even stop to think or realize that the man could be disabled and would react differently to the situation. i believe all people training to become police officers should have mandatory training on how to communicate effectively and work with disabled people to avoid situations like that. it's clear that the officers didn't understand or care about why the poor man was so stressed and "not cooperating".
The disabled man episode is absolutely insane and horrifying. Imagine going to the store one day and getting arrested for absolutely nothing at all.
And not really understanding what's happening. It makes my blood absolutely BOIL. If that was my child I'd be burning shit down and suing everyone until he got justice. This is horrific. They threaten him with felony charges!! He didn't break the law. Oh man I can't. I just can't.

keep saying his name and make it more public!!! i swear all it needs is more publicity and this dude would be behind bars
I think the difference is that they "know" it won't escalate, so they can keep talking without the suspect going nuts/pulling a gun etc. We all know cops can do that but cops generally give cops the benefit of the doubt. I think it's fairly reasonable that this would happen. It shouldn't but I wouldn't be so hard on judging the officer.
I'd damn well judge the system after watching the outcome, though. Jeez! That's disgusting he got away with it.
That's exactly what I was saying 🤬
@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist-beep boop
Those Target employees should be absolutely ashamed & sued. This poor man! Almost made me cry watching that.
Me too. I was so sad. Made my chest hurt
They were making it harder. He was completely stressed and anxious . Couldn't even speak anymore. Instead of complaining to cops couldn't they help him and be human for once?
Disgusting behaviors of the officers sickened me!!!
You would think that when they call the cops on the man for taking longer than usual that the cops would be frustrated with the Target employees for calling before trying to help the guy. There's usually someone watching checkout that also assists customers with their transactions, literally could have prevented this whole thing with a little bit of empathy and people doing what they're paid to do.
Target employees didn’t call the police. The police were in the area already and took it on themselves to get involved. Then pressured the target employees into authorising them to trespass the disabled man. It’s being heard in court right now.
the disabled man repeatedly saying he did nothing wrong was so heartbreaking. i really hope hes doing ok
That drunk driver cop handled with kid gloves is insane. Even with body cameras, there is no way any other "perp" is treated that gently. 5 minutes, and there isn't 3 other cruisers there, tasers drawn, hands on pistols.
That was straight B's and he still kept working lost nothing unreal but we would all be treated like crap tazed thrown to the ground if we did that and got a ton of charges they should have to face the same things you do something wrong then you should face what you did
The number of "I don't know" answers, regarding laws that came from a Lieutenant and a Sgt just blew my mind!!! And that poor disabled kid...so sad
When the Lieutenant said he didn't know what they Miranda rights where, I about fell out of my chair.
@@clairedeluna3585and my toddler bout fell out of her booster seat on the chair! 😮
I was wondering if their lawyer or union rep tells them to say " I don't know" so they can fight that they need better training or something? you would think the title " law efforment" implies they might know the law, ugh.
@@amysmiles9751 Very well could be, but, ugh this whole video was cringe.
The insane levels of "courtesy" and "leniency" that officers give to other officers is quite insane to witness.
Meanwhile the average person (even when they have a disability) doesn't even get so much as a fraction of what they display to their "fellow officers" or even allowed to make simple movements without being seen as threatening.
Top to bottom, everyone's "looking out for everyone else" which should usually be fine but they take it to the extreme here.
The reason it happens is because when you try to physically arrest another cop they are aware of all the techniques. They know what the arresting officer can and cannot do legally. They are aware of how to fight, how to get out of certain holds and grabs. If 1 cop tries to arrest a civilian good chance they can do it, might need help. A cop trying to arrest another cop its entirely chance. Thats not a risk they can take for a variety of reasons, so they try to appeal to the cop so they can come quietly. They are also likely waiting for backup. Remember, in these cases the cops first job is to de escalate the situation. If they can get the suspect to cooperate without physical harm thats ideal. So they will sometimes try to talk people into going calmly, especially if the subject is not escalating it either
Look at how cops are bashed when they immediately go in for grabbing someone and throwing them to the ground for an arrest. Cops dont have to get you second chances but many of them do, many give ALOT of chances because they dont want to A get physical B run the risk of it going wrong.
Can you just imagine what cops were doing before Body Cam?? Holy Shit….
Horrific really.... Cruel treatment to citizens and ignoring their own coworkers crimes and those of officials in their county or accepting bribes or using their power to abuse people so they won't arrest them 😡

I’m disabled could and will probably be considered special needs. But nobody who sees me or meets me would expect it. Anyways, what you said is the truth. We can love who we are, but we would still rather not be disabled and need accommodations. So being rude to us who don’t choose this for ourselves, is really sick. There’s nothing we can do about it. And also most people become disabled or need assistance if they live long enough, so treat people kind bc you might be in their position someday!

Those target employees couldve just helped instead of calling the police . Pathetic human beings . All of them .

The disabled man broke my heart. I've seen all kinds of police videos but this was probably the hardest thing to watch.
I am a grown man with multiple combat tours and watching that poor gentlemen in Target pleading with the cops brought me to tears. This is why we need to “defund the police”, which truly means we should shift funds from militarizing the police to hiring professionals who can deescalate and/or handle those who are mentally challenged or otherwise distressed and need compassion and mental help rather than jail.
And how is it that no one in that Target, employee or customer, couldn’t show come compassion and help that poor man. What a bunch of apathetic skunks we are surrounded by.
agree, well stated. "defund" doesn't mean abolish, it means to stop spending tons of money on military training programs and military gear for civilian "peace keeping." It's unfortunate that retired Seals and Special Forces folks don't have a wider audience to which they can pass along their skills, but civilian police forces should not be their meal tickets in retirement.
I think law enforcement needs to spend a lot more money and time on not only thoroughly training their officers in mental health education but also how to deal with people who are clearly suffering a mental health crisis. Maybe stronger consequences for those officers who treat these people badly and don’t go out of their way to help out more??? They treated that man as if he was a terrible criminal. He was struggling and did not seem dangerous even a little bit. This pulled on my heart strings as well. Maybe also having special positions for specialists on “stand-by” to accompany officers on calls like this. There are several things that should change. Sadly, I don’t see it happening any time soon. We just have to hope and pray that maybe more often than not, there will be a good guy on scene trying to do the right thing to HELP people and not lock them up. Smh. This happens way too often. Prayers for this poor guy and anyone else who has to endure this type of abuse. It’s very wrong.
On the same hand though…I still want them to be armed to the teeth if something huge happens!! Mass shootings, riots, looting etc. Isnt it sad that they abuse it??? I’ll shut up. Nothing I say is going to change a thing. Good comment though. I agree, mostly lol
That's like saying socialism just hasn't been done correctly yet. Defund means defund.
@@l-b284Then use a different word. Defund doesn't mean train and give therapy and teach yoga. Defund = give no money. If you're preaching to DEFUND then you need to know what the hell you're saying.

Places did that to virtue signal and then complained about all the crime and needing more funds for police after 🤪And every single person who pushes that bs is the first to go “help police” when their feelings are hurt. Let alone real crime.
Police Reform.
It’s almost like the former is nonsense. And given how many megacorps and politicians supported that attitude you’d think you’d realize it’s not what we need. “Wow the elite who run everything poorly support this thing maybe they have it figured out this one time and these corrupt people won’t be corrupt now!” I have a bridge for sale. It’s a great deal.
POLICE SHOULD NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THEIR CAMERAS AND AUDIO RECORDERS, PERIOD. We are well aware of what would've happened if they turned the cameras off or destroyed the footage. This happens all the time in cases wherein police abuse citizens of this country, and it happens ALL THE TIME.
They should be on all the time. I was in an accident and the officers didn’t have their cameras on so it was my word against theirs when I told them I was a pedestrian struck by a car and he claimed I didn’t tell them.

The craziest thing in the second story is that he was clearly at a self-checkout lane. The employee that is supposed to be there is to supervise AND assist as needed. I’m sure if they observed him attempting to pay or even spoken to him, they’d see he’d need more time, or (if they’re allowed to) help him scan his items and pay for the items. I’m sure they were too “inconvenienced” to want to make that effort. The cops were also so impatient with him and didn’t even take the time to notice some accommodations might be needed in this situation.
Hearing him say “I didn’t do anything wrong” breaks my heart and makes this one of the hardest things I’ve seen on this app. I also hope the employee that was supposed to be in the self-checkout was also fired because that’s insane Target’s reaction was to involve the cops instead of just… helping him. You could clearly see all his cash on the register as if he was getting it ready to pay.
Right? The way police acted is shitty, but who the fuck calls the cops on a disabled dude clearly trying to pay for his things? I want to hear that call. How did the operator manage to not say "what the fuck is wrong with you?" to whoever called the cops?

This compilation is a perfect example of how horrible the policing in this country is. The saddest part is, regular citizens are imprisoned for decades and killed every year by these 🐖. And they are punished very little to none. It’s sickening no wonder why people despise them so much.
Exactly this. And this isn't even saying that ALL cops are this way, but collectively we are too slow in acknowledging the many systemic problems with the system that need to be addressed. In academia a lot of it is obvious, but there is a disconnect between data and making changes. A big part of it is politics. Politicians who suggest changes in policing get vilified as being "anti-police" or soft on crime.
The Target incident was heartbreaking. What happened to a staff member helping him sort his bills out, having a laugh with him, finding out his back story, it's surprising how quick that information comes out organically during an interaction of assistance.
I worked in a neurosurgical ward for several years, where young folk came in with traumatic head/brain injury from everything from a horse kick to auto crash. All very long term stay patients as they then maybe came out of comas and maybe learned to walk, talk eat, speak again. Sometimes surgery involved, sometimes not. I want to reach out and hold onto this young man and tell him nothing like this will ever happen again, but i never thought it ever could happen in the first place... ever. Not our patients, not our police.

I love how in 90% of these cases the first and major concern of the cops is "has this been recorded". It's clear that they learned nothing and still offer each other special treatment when the cameras aren't rolling. Disgusting individuals
Calling civilians “the crazy ones” for acting within their rights is wild😂
Funny thing is, they’re ALL civilians. Including cops.
LITERALLY "OH she knows the law? Well that's not what we do around here"
This is a man with nearly 30 years on the force who pretended not to know what the Miranda rights are, there's only two options for what he is and neither of them are good
and the fact that the the girl LOST and the cops got away with it pisses me off so much
The cop who testified he's been a lieutenant for 22 years never made an arrest before and didn't know the Miranda rights
It's insane to think how the implementation of body cameras have completely changed the game. While thinking about this, I can only imagine life where police didn't use to have body cameras. The amount of civilians who were harassed(or done worse) by cops, being swept under the rug because they could make up their own scenarios to the department and courts.. And even more terrifying.. Seeing the amount of dirty cops who probably got off the hook more easier, because their buddy was able to cover for them.
I agree with you but I also want to mention this fact…it wasn’t only other officers who got off more easily. Many others in society did as well.
For example, my papaw was an alcoholic. He drank and drove all the time. Regularly. They’d pass him, knowing he was more often drunk than not and do nothing. They would pull him over if they received a call or if papaw was passed out, etc…He often ran from them and he was such a good driver(insanely good from what I’ve been told by older cops and his friends when I was younger)he would get away. He drove like a madman from what I’ve been told.
The cops would let the family know they were looking for papaw and sometimes they’d come pick him up the next day once he got home. Sometimes, they wouldn’t. Other times, they’d come get him and take him to the hospital when he was having dt’s(I think that’s what it’s called)and help hold him down at the hospital while he was hallucinating.
So, my point is, back in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, there were lots of people like my papaw getting favors from the police, when they should’ve been in jail. Not just fellow officers. Times have just changed all the way around. Thankfully!
As much as I love my papaw and know he was just very sick, he needed to be locked up. He was putting other peoples lives in danger.

I nearly cried watching this bit. This world is so cruel.
Since then they give us some very clear and concise training on people with disabilities and assisting them. I just got hired and I had a long video and exam on how to handle situations like this, like assisting them and asking them if they need help with anything. This Target really fucked up.
Target is overrated anyway
I used to work at a grocery store. Whenever I encountered a costumer who needed more help than usual, I tried my best to help them out and keep them calm. I never blamed them for their situation. It made me sad seeing this man with all of his money out struggling to purchase..
How much better it would have been had the cops just helped this man check out and offer him a ride. Target should be ashamed for calling the cops at all on this poor man.
I work for target n there was a lady that obviously was crazy and on drugs so I talked to her calmly to get her away from harassing a man. That man obviously needed help, it’s sad that ppl see him n didn’t try to help.
John A. Chew asking about who called makes me think he is going to try to retaliate against someone.
There aren't enough words to describe just how angry it's made me seeing that poor gentleman just trying to buy his goods. How dare they put him through that?!?! And they wonder why there's no trust for police, when they target the most vulnerable and treat them as though they are some animal.
Why do you overlook Target? This entire thing could have been avoided if the people at Target had one iota of compassion
@loricook6331 I don't overlook target, but police officers are supposed to protect the most vulnerable in their community. They should be aware of the difference between someone acting up and someone who has obvious disabilities as can be seen with the gentleman. They should also have training on how best to safeguard someone in this kind of situation. They could have entered this situation, paid for his bike for him (as in putting the cash in the machine for him as he clearly struggles with his gross motor skills) and reprimanded target staff for their poor management of this situation, but instead they came in and escalated the matter further. Target didn't put their hands on him, the police officers did. Neither of them are right in this situation, but as I said, police officers have a duty of care, which they failed to ensure happened.
That poor man/women (Not really sure) is going to need 200 fanny packs to hold all the money he's going to win from the County who put him through all that hell for no reason. The Cop who was whistling through the entire false imprisonment really pissed me off.
That one was particularly hard to watch... I have an autistic cousin and I know how scared she'd be if this happened to her; Especially if they touched her at all. She wouldnt understand how cops even expect a compliant person to act. Hell, it would be scary for most people if a couple of big guys with guns suddenly grabbed you out of store & threw you in their SUV for seemingly no good reason.
Not ONE of the MOB of cops who was there questioned what they were doing! Protect and serve my ass. BASICALLY UNDERSTANDING an individuals constitutional rights as well as THE LAW might be a good thing!?!?! Understand those with disabilities and access the god damn situation!?!? Are they running out the store with goods!?!? @@Mattblaze1477
As a disabled person myself (I’m autistic) I’m often asked why I’m so scared of cops. I have never had an encounter with a cop that has been positive. I’ve had my meltdown due to overstimulation be interpreted as me being a threat to others and myself (despite me just sitting on the curb of the pavement, without people near me other than my best friend. I was put in handcuffs and screamed at for “not cooperating” which made things worse. My bsf tried to explain to the officer that I was having a meltdown and that I am autistic and he’s making it worse. His partner just leaned on the car and watched. And old woman watching called the fire department who came and, despite dealing with fires and despite dealing with people living mental health issues a lot less than cops, managed to get me out of hand cuffs and managed to calm me down. I wasn’t taken to the station or had any charge for “resisting an officer” cuz of them
The world is extremely unsafe for disabled people and it’s scary and exhausting having to navigate the world almost blindly. Also, things like this and things like the one that happened to me is EXTREMELY traumatic. I’m talking like almost life long trauma
Allow me to say, you’re not disabled! Lowlife people are disabled!!
You’re a person with amazing abilities, and what makes you special is that you have more humanity than anyone else!
Retard
As a mostly able person, it always shocks me how there are people witnessing this and saying nothing. If I were an employee? I'm telling the officers he isn't doing anything wrong and helping the man pay. Customer? I might be throwing hands to be honest. And berating the staff who called them about it to. I get that same nervous energy and the heat of embarrassment when I'm noticed, same as everyone else but I never let stuff like that go.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you! ❤ not only am I enraged, I'm terrified for my own autistic child's future. They're 5 right now, but I so often worry about how others may treat them. And to see and hear that the very people who are supposed to help and protect are doing more harm, it's devastating. With awareness of disabilities coming so far (still not dar enough obv) why aren't police being trained on how to deal with those situations
@@ecfog7120 my best advice honestly is to teach them (at an appropriate age) that police and others can be dangerous for them, not as a fear mongering thing but as an awareness. I was always scared of authority figures as a kid so I learned that fast but some other autistics aren’t, and that can be a very brutal lesson. Try your very best to equip your child with all the tools they could possibly need ❤️❤️
The level of entitlement from the lieutenant is genuinely terrifying. You know this has happened a LOT from how he’s acting. It truly makes you wonder just what types of crimes cops have covered for each other.
Oh you betcha the Rabbit Hole Is DEEEP
Being the ex wife of one, many.
I can tell you it has happened a lot. I spent 18 years as sheriffs deputy. But it did not happen In my county and on my shift. I was shift command. I arrested a county board member for DUI. The sheriff threatened me. He was not in office much longer. We arrested 3 of our own deputies. And many cops from many other jurisdictions. That one was damn lucky he had not been stopped by me he would of of drug out of his truck and in cuffs after about 30 seconds of acting like an ass!!
@@bruce723thank god for body cams so police can stop acting like and thinking they are above the law.
This is exactly why so many people are calling for police reform, hearing them talk about being able to find out who called as if they were going to retaliate against them is insane
That lawyer woke up and chose violence 😂😂💯
I'm always amazed that police personnel are allowed to resign after DUIs.Disgusting.☹🇬🇧
They resign and then just go to another department in a different county in a lot of cases.
Then they go right down the road and do the same
@@jshields648coffee city
I don't condone drinking & driving but what cops deal with & horrors they've seen in their career I can understand why they drink their problems away . Lots of people get DUI's & don't lose their entire career over it . I believe in second chances, counseling & desk duty. His resistance is due to fear of losing his career not because he wants to get out of a dui. I'm astonished the 58:47 lieutenant got fired he complied a hell of a lot better than the first lieutenant that got to keep his job. It's a real shame cuz u know his fellow officers love & respect him.
1:06:44 one year in prison for a dui ! There's more to the story prob has something to do with the breakups & other illegal activities
The way Brian was so adamant about sleeping it off shows how many times he has gotten away with it. It almost seems like that is standard procedure for him getting pulled over for dui.
Love Samantha’s lawyer. Showing his intelligence far outweighs the cops. Great job!
27 years and doesn't know that he can't just detain/arrest people because he feels like it.....ridiculous. What are they doing over there in the U.S. training absolute peanuts to become officers.
They are very likely trained poorly on purpose
They were completely trash those cops and merely on a power trip because she didnt do what they wanted ! I love how the attorney completely embarrassed them and made them look stupid !!!
Those two vile, smug stooges should not be cops.
What i want to know as "the case drags on for years" is are they one paid or unpaid leave during all this, or are people that confessed they have no idea what the law is are still on the streets arresting people? How can i, a random guy from Scotland, know more about the American legal process just from watching COPS and worlds wildest police videos than these two with literal DECADES of experience and you would hope training. Did not even know what the Miranda rights were.
as a target employee, not even target but if you’re just an employee, and you see a customer STRUGGLING… why call the police?? you are an employee for a reason and you should HELP? everyone was so disgustingly bad in that situation
I have seen the disabled man being arrested at Target a few times now. It never ceases to completely disgust me. My mom is disabled and if she was treated like this there would be hell to pay
Yah, target … they only like you if you fit their agenda
Yah, T … they only like you if you fit their agenda

That was a painful and hilarious exchange. I'm no expert, but I don't think that case will go well for him, ultimately.
27 years and never made an arrest!!
@@IllustriousCrocoduck Eventually all claims were dismissed against the cops & others. She got a $15K settlement from the County, but that probably went to her lawyer. Basically the reason was that she was videoing the _inside_ of the courthouse when the doors opened, & there's a rule against _that_ .
If he doesn't know the difference between arrest and detainment he prob doesn't know lethal vs non lethal force..

It's amazing to me the third case is still open. Absolutely crazy to me the evidence of their incompetence isn't mountainous enough to put them out of law enforcement. Holy crap law enforcement is corrupt.
A real darn pity!😢😮
I have never been more ANGRY in my life watching those corrupt police treating that poor disabled man, I am actually crying watching it but I also put the blame on TARGET calling them in the first place, thank God I live in the UK if this happened here the coppers would be immediately sacked being disabled myself I just cannot fathom how those bullies get away with it!!!

@@Rollacoastertycoon Are you a cop, little fella?
Because you come across as incredibly incompetent.
@@Rollacoastertycoon Hello, tiny itty bitty terminally online man.
My heart broke for that poor man. I'm so angry at the Target employees! They didn't try to talk to him or help him, they just stood by, probably talked about him behind his back, then called the cops.
These cops are so used to being let go as soon as they say, "I'm a cop too", that they are completely overwhelmed when they stumble on an honest cop.
When they stumble on a cop forced to wear a body cam. There are no honest cops, don't be fooled.
They were "honest" because they were being recorded.
@@soraya377yep. Cops are of the most dishonest, murderous, entitled, & abusive people we’re ever likely to encounter in society at large. In spite of a lot of recent progress, I still don’t think the average member of the public really grasps the true amount of power that an average, everyday cop can wield. That, & the fact that a pretty big chunk of the population are actively rooting for shitbag cop behavior.
@@soraya377??? Still honest man y'all would get pissed on and complain it isn't clear enough
@thatguy5391
Everyone has a right to their opinion.
"every crazy loon in the building has come up!"
Yeah, well said, and whose building is it, officer?
You can hear the fear of retaliation in the voice of those doing the arrests especially those arresting their own hire ups. The amount of entitlement in some of these cops with no remorse is insane.
-hire- ups. higher ups. Kind regards to you and yours.
I am questioning if the reason they become a cop is to be able to break the law get away with it, a public person couldn't get away with it.
Cops in these videos are an organization of criminals who are police officers who are law breakers wearing a uniform title of police officer breaking the law.
They probably fear for their jobs or some form of harassment when bringing in one of their own or even higher ups , Its scary
@mildredmorine745 a lot of them do become cops because they want to break the law, I know of someone who tried to do exactly that. Which is why it's important to get rid of this type of "cop supremacy" from within the police departments
The MOST annoying part is that we all know that " administrative leave " just means that they are rewarded with a few days off with pay.
Cop in town has been on “administrative leave” for 2 years.
Dude, cops, solicitors, and judges should actually get _harsher_ punishments, as they know and enforce the law, and should be seen to be setting an example.
Ya don't say
Absolutely
Word
Should, maybe. But I'd take a "are treated just the same as everyone else" for a start. It's awful how many people get away with sh*t because of where they work at.
well clearly as shown by the 2nd and 3rd video, they dont know the law.
When the cop whose only purpose is to enforce laws answers that question about probable cause for a crime and she just says, “I don’t know the law exactly.” 😂
I’m a criminal defense attorney. I see the police do some dark things and also some brilliant things from time to time. That situations with the disabled man, however, was the first time I’ve been brought to tears over police action. What a world we live in….
It is very sad. I worked with individuals with disabilities. It’s depressing how many ppl try to take advantage of them or act like they’re lesser in some way. Went to a cell phone store with this disabled married couple once & one employee at the store was acting super pushy in trying to get the woman to buy a cell phone or some plan with them that they told them they already have. The man was firm with saying no, but the woman was acting super nervous and always just wanted to please people. She had commonly spent large amounts on things she didn’t want/couldn’t afford just because of that. I can’t control them from spending their own $, but I had to barge in and was like “they said no, they don’t want it. Ok?”And led them out of the store. The lady and her husband thanked me for helping them get out of that situation. I ended up being their favorite person to have working for them lol. It’s sad seeing this man alone and vulnerable like this. It makes me happy I could be there to advocate for my former clients though.
For a disabled man, dude sure understands a lot about all the laws to legally make cops jobs more difficult
Lol you are scum yourself
@@rufio171and what exactly did he do to make things more difficult? Calling the police?
@@rufio171? Disabled does not mean they're stupid, he probably has had to learn the law to protect himself from others calling cops on him as well. Instead of asking if he needed help first, they probably assumed he was under the influence of something.
Always great when a cop says “I don’t know the law legally”
Especially when the question is "In order to detain somebody, what do you have to have legally?"
that girl once that case is over is going to be blacklisted amongst cops. They will probably give her a hard time anywhere she goes for revenge.
@@justmejust4553the case is over. She was awarded 15k and both officers are still employed so besides public embarrassment nothing happened. That’s why I hate videos like that, those 2 officers should be fired but instead they get to keep there jobs and pensions while the tax payers have to pay that 15k.
The cops were from a different video
And unfortunately, that's the MAJORITY of American police. How do you uphold the law if you don't know it???
All officers should be mandated to a class on the rights of people and the law. They must pass the class 100% by verbal and written testing.
Exactly, couldn't have said it better
How this isn’t a requirement already is beyond me. Like why do we have officers who with no problem at all, sit there and go “I don’t know the law” like what!?
I guess if you have a clean record 🤷 you can go to cop school get a badge and gun ( and not know the law ) and pull over people for anything you want. 😉
The second gentleman broke my heart. how can someone bully someone so vulnerable? I would be embarrased if one of my family members treated someone with such lack of empathy
"Everything is recorded now sir; we have to handle it like we have to handle it".. This quote speaks volumes
The second one where they treated the disabled guy like that is unreal. They are monsters for that one. They could have just helped him and be done in 5 minutes. If either of them get to be cops again we are doomed
FRRR nah bc the target employees coulda just helped him fr how hard is it to just go up and be like "hii do u need some help?" literally simple fix people are crazy
I can't believe even a customer didn't step up to help him. If the staff is going to be horrid I would hope a fellow shopper wouldn't be. Although they'd probably get arrested too for interfering.
not just the cops but the employees too couldve easily helped him and as a employee you def shouldve instead of calling the fucking cops all are horrible people except the disabled man
I, I believe, would care enough to try and help the person. I wouldn't care what anyone else thought about that. It does not cost us to be kind to others.
I found the case to be compelling as well. I was under the impression that Target cant choose not to serve someone based on a protected class. I mean when I drive uber I cant refuse someone because they have a service dog, even though as a general rule I don't allow animals in my car. So how is it that Target and call the police to have them aide in their discrimination by removing him because he was taking too long when the reason he was taking long is because he has a disability.
That deposition footage is wild. That officer saying she doesnt know when an officer is allowed to detain someone would be absolutely hilarious if an innocent woman hadnt been unlawfully arrested because of it.
They hire dumbass's for a reason
The guy that said he doesn't know what Miranda rights are😂 shit is fucking wild.
LT should have said he was remaining silent then 😂
She didn’t even know the difference between detain and arrest
I hope someone filed a Lawsuit against both that Police department and TARGET ON THIS MANS BEHALF!!!!! THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!! TAKING TOO LONG TO CHECK OUT IS AGAINST THE LAW?!!!! THESE POLICE OFFICERS ARE A DISGRACE TO OUR MEN IN BLUE!!!! THEY COULDN'T JUST HELP THE POOR DISABLED MAN CHECK OUT HIS GROCERIES?!!!!!
Honestly, those cops harassing those that are impaired - physically or mentally- should be fired and placed in jail. That clip with the Target customer was absolutely disgusting.
All the target staff had to do was give him a hand and all this could have been avoided, I hate that we live in a world where helping people is seen as an inconvenience, the police could also have assisted him and helped him to move on
Right. If I were the senior on the scene, I would have helped him check out and dared target or my precinct to have a problem with it. Also, that's probably why I wouldn't last long as a cop.
For anyone curious, the cop in the disabled man story is Kenneth Skeens and he had a long history of excessive violence with multiple reports and complaints filed against him. He was also involved in the fatal shooting of Keshawn Thomas (a drunk black man) after they harassed and badgered him, escalating the situation from a drunk sleeping off the booze in a gas station parking lot to 16 shots fired.
Another officer in the video, Marcos Flores, was ALSO involved in that fatal shooting... so you have two cops who are clearly buddy buddy involved in the same bullshit in 2 separate high profile fuck-ups.
If you live in New Mexico please be on the look out for officer Marcos Flores, he has a high likelihood to kill you for no reason and lie about it on the report, stay safe out there.
Stories you gave are completely irrelevant and the disabled man should NOT have been in society without help. He was holding up the line for what you can assume was 30 minutes+. Bro had 20 bills sprawled across the scanner and couldn't even realize who police were.

@@sylvariatzaka People SHOULD have to deal with that BS, are you insane? Do you know what a Cashier or Sales Associate is? Stores hire people SPECIFICALLY to deal with situations exactly like this and in normal situations would handle the problem themselves.

Does anyone else ever wonder why it's necessary to have a law degree to argue and defend the law, but NOT to enforce it directly on the front lines?
Like I have ZERO faith that one cop in this country knows even half of the laws a lawyer knows. THAT is frightening.
I want to be a cop, but I am actively getting a bachelors in criminal justice first!! I believe as associates or bachelors should be required. I know more of the law then these cops in less than two years of school. It is genuinely insane to watch some of these.
Why study and work hard just to end up choosing an unskilled low pay job. Your better than that brother.@@genesisprice2023
Well said!!!!!
I've never thought of or heard this distinction before, such a good point and absolutely insane
Facts.
Sometimes i think when the cops say "I cant do that because there is cameras" they are actually relieved they can use the cameras as an excuse. Like the state police officer who stopped the chief deputy said "Ive got family out here on these roads." I believe he would've arrested him without the cameras.
Heres hoping most state police are the same
Great point
For the good cops, I'm sure the bodycams work in their favor because they have an excuse to not let them get away with it. I'm sure before bodycams, they felt torn between the right thing and the thing that could cost them their job and make themselves enemies in their own work place. Especially if they're arresting someone above their rank.
I agree 100%. If a cop says "you know I can't do that because of the cameras" he's not saying I would if it weren't for these cameras. He's telling the person in trouble that "I have no control and you know it"
thank you! I was coming to post this same point. I agree, dude was gonna do it without the cameras too, but hes just telling they guy, this isnt my fault, i have to do it.
"I don't know the law, legally" sure nice to hear that from a cop :D
That shouldn't really be upsetting to you. What should be upsetting is that they aren't *obligated* or *required* to know the law right up until they fuck it up badly.
I almost cried watching the disabled man getting bullied by both the Target employees and the police. The police are supposed to HELP you not intimidate you and arrest you for absolutely no good reason. I have disabilities myself and it’s so sad watching someone with disabilities get treated so horribly by these bullies… I will NEVER be shopping at Target again!
As an autistic person, for Target becoming “inclusive” you would think they would teach their employees about disabled people and how we are NOT a threat and function just like everyone else despite our disability. It’s not fair to be treated like this because neurotypical people simply don’t understand us😒
Oh noooo that’s only if you’re a pedo or groomer or part of the LBGTQRSTUVWXYZ FAMILY 🤬
Facts all day💯💯💯💯💯💯
Human decency isn't common sense.
"Inclusive" just means more equal access to money, not the person. They could really care less about how the other person was unless they were their upper boss.
This wouldn't have happened if the employee working at the self checkout did their job and helped.
The second story here was absolutely disgusting to see this behavior out of the police. The guy was literally doing his best to buy stuff. It's not like he was even doing a crime or anything that is even against store policy. He literally took a little longer to pay for groceries, and they called the police on him. He shouldn't even have to provide ID.
I'll never shop at target again
This is the system working like it's intended to work. Stakeholders and shareholders of the franchise don't give a fuck about anything other than money, so the location manager is paid the exact amount to make him only think about money too, they see this disabled man buying food with money and their perspective on that is that the cripple isn't handing over his money fast enough, so let's call the cops and put this cripple in jail. The function of a human is to hand over money, if you don't hand over your money fast enough, it's fuck you and you are literally worthless.
It's a downward cycle of people learning this is how life is supposed to be (not even mentioning how cops specifically get trained to disregard human aspects of their job).
@@texasrefugee7888
