@Shane Johnson: If he's willing to do so while being filmed. I'd say that he's done it before enough to be comfortable doing so. Possibly even shot someone and got away with it. But his actions also put other officers in danger! The next officer could be shot, because this moron violated someone's rights and they decided to do something about it. As a police officer, you're actions have long range consequences that you must consider.

Old School Blues Player How many unarmed people were killed by police in 2018? I don't know the figure, but I'll bet my next month's pay it was a HELL of a lot more than 150.

Make 'police officer' a decent, respectable career that people can aspire to, and you'll start being able to select the right applicants instead of having no choice but to hire the sadists, weirdos, and roid-raging psychos that either couldn't get into the military (another profession GRIEVOUSLY underpaid, and another sad failure to those who work the hardest in our nation) were made fun of or abused their entire lives, or are just plain evil, because precious few sane, decent human beings are willing to do such a scary, terrible, dangerous job for the pathetic wages offered to them. No one hates cops more than I do, but it has nothing to do with the principle of police.

Jacy Borreaux he did not have to get out of his police car. He intended to intimidate this guy no matter what. A cop needs a legal reason to confront a civilian and needs to site that reason the moment he contacts you.
So the cop admits he confronted the guy just because he pulled his camera out… but then his response is to pull a gun out? No simple “hey why are you filming me”?
His response to the guy refusing to pull his hand out of his pocket is why he drew the gun, which is 100% reasonable excuse for police to draw. Guy coulda just pulled his hand out and this would never have happened and almost certainly would have resulted in the scenario you think should have happened.

In Texas, they're trained to assume everyone is a member of the "Republic of Texas", a loose Confederation of Nut-jobs who think that the State of Texas joining the Union was illegal, and they still think they live in the Wild Wild West. They accuse everyone, especially those trying to uphold their Own Constitutional Rights in Court, like Pro Se litigants who represent themselves, or those trying to obtain Government records thru Statutory procedures (like when they make "Open Records" request), or when trying to serve a public official in any Government facility, like at a Court. It's a standard procedure taught at all LEO academies and training facilities, especially in Texas. Every Court and Courthouse in Texas treats everyone as their adversaries, and as a threat, regardless of your legal rights and Constitutional standings 😠
@Zeek Banistor bud I feel like you don't understand. Every department had use of force requirements. Drawing your weapon is a use of force. That said that can only be done in certain situations, and this ain't it.
@Zeek Banistor I think you're a troll who knows nothing about US law. You're talking to a former LEO, so I know what I'm talking about. You clearly do not. Reasonable suspicion means that the officer suspects wrongdoing and is related to SEARCH. Not drawing weapons. You are way off base, bud.

It's not illegal to film cops. They're public servants on taxpayer's dime. If they say it's illegal, they're wrong. If you're on public property or on your own private property, it's legal.
The cop really said “you need to relax” even though he’s the one who literally pulled a gun on the dude for filming. The cop needs to take his own advice and relax

@@DanielRodriguez-bv5wx Depending how he drew his hand out of his pocket. This could be hard to prove from the officers stand-point if he didn't have a bodycam. Assuming the officer did have a bodycam, it would depend on the manner that he drew his hand out of his pocket. If he drew his hand out slowly so that the officer could see if he had any sort of weapon or object and the officer did discharge his service pistol this would be very concerning. I have no idea what was going through that officer's head so I don't want to make any decisive judgements on what I think happened or didnt happen. Edit: Another comment pointed out how relaxed the officer was to take out his cell phone and photograph the suspect. If the officer had shot him or discharged his weapon, knowing this, the officer would probably be found guilty.
Yeah and when a police officer says take your hand out of your pocket you cant just say no there was a guy six months ago that shot and killed when the suspect didn't take his hand out of his pocket
For real though. The cop was instigating not investigating. The man wasn't doing anything wrong and no one reported a crime. There was no reason at all for the cop to even be there.
BRUH THE MAN HAD HIS HAND IN HIS POCKET DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OFFICERS HAVE LITERALLY DIED BECAUSE A GUY HAD A GUN IN HIS POCKET? The officer has literally no clue what that man had, and before you say "He should have tazed him" Just look up "Failed tazer deploy" those things fail way to many times.

I was watching an early 2000s Law and Order and "patriots" were murdering because "aliens". It was happening then and its happening now.Nothing changes.
The cop actually asked, "Are you some kind of Constitutioalist?" Like that would be a bad thing. Keep in mind He is the one who swore to uphold and protect the Constitution.
All law enforcement, military and politicians in the US take an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. They literally have to hold up there right hand while standing in the presence of the US flag when doing so. If you ever served in any of these capacities you would know.
Yeah he’s a real cop. Cops act like it’s against the law to give them lip or talk back. Like parents who abuse their power these cops will take it to the extreme over nothing. However instead of getting grounded you get dead.
@Sylvester Banini even better when the entire department pretends to investigate and says they did nothing wrong. Or even when they are fired or placed on paid leave they just get the same job two towns over. Fucking joke.
Why do cops keep asking if, “you’re some kind of a Constitutionalist?” Aren’t cops here to uphold the Constitution? Asking if the citizen believes in the rights afforded him under the Constitution infers that the cop is a fascist.
I think you misinterpret that question. It is asked because being "Some kind of constitutionalist" explains some of the abnormal behavior these "Policing the police" types display. If your the type of person that is serious about your rights and watching the police, then that explains behavior that would, under normal circumstances be strange or suspect. You often see cops saying that to people who are exercising their 2A rights. Walking up and down the sidewalk with a battle rifle slung over your shoulder is potentially strange and erratic behavior, doing so while speaking about 2A rights is perhaps unusual behavior, but entirely justified, and non threatening. Randomly filming the police raises questions (Also in this video, the cop tells the guy to take his hand out of his pocket) This is a super common thing, they don't know what you have, you can see the gun on his hip, he doesn't know why your hand is in your pocket, and police die because they approached the wrong guy. This guy immediately says "No" I would also like to clarify that I am not defending the cop in this situation, at all. His entire reason for stopping was wrong, this police interaction should never have happened. Taking pictures of the police isn't a crime (And although it is somewhat strange behavior it is not suspicious behavior) but some of these things you see cops say a lot. It is because they are trained to say it, or have learned to say it. I have had a lot of experience with the police, on both sides of the law, I am beginning to know them well. "Are you some kind of constitutionalist" actually (Usually) means "Can I relax around you, is this a display of your rights, or just strange behavior" Keep in mind cops are often fought or killed by people who were shouting "I haven't done anything, you don't have the right!" even when they were caught red handed and moments later are shooting at the police. Just sayin. -Edit to be clear (After reading over what I wrote) I am not saying that is how this guy was using this. This cop was behaving disgracefully, I am more commenting on why these phrazes crop up quite a lot. Not that they were in any way justified in this situation. The cop was treating this guy like he was a suspect in a serious crime, all because he filmed the police. Portions of this video look completely justified, and normal, until you remind yourself that this guy isn't suspected of armed robbery.
@@redrath2 "His entire reason for stopping was wrong, this police interaction should never have happened." exactly he should have just filmed him back and drive on, no need to stop since the man did nothing wrong, and instead the officer escalate the situation especially by drawing his weapon even when the guy don't want to pull his hand out of his pocket, last time i check putting your hand inside your pocket is not unlawful, and just because is super common thing doesn't mean is lawful, and the fact the officer still not holster his weapon after the guy put his hands out of his pocket is just so wrong

Jaiden Wichelow I would simply ask in response how you would deal with a situation like this. Police are called to an unknown situation, where this officer, from the video presented by CNN, was immediately faced with what could have appeared to be a hostile situation. When he asked the cameraman to remove his hand from his pockets, the man illegally refused a verbal order from a police officer while attempting to place distance between the officer and himself. There are countless studies which I encourage you to read before placing your fond opinions online about the required distance for a hidden weapon to become lethal. The officer, now with weapon drawn because of the obvious potential for this situation to run out of hand simply removed his weapon from holster. Never even pointed it at the cameraman. Instead of automatically assuming that the person making the video is 100% truthful and just a “social justice warrior” fighting a “corrupt” police station, look into the facts about hostile situations, look into the facts about officer training, look into the facts about the region. Learn before you attack.
Riley Hawkins funny you say learn before you attack. Besides even after the man took his hand out of his pockets and emptied it he still had his gun out

Police that shouldn't really be police officers view you as a direct threat, and it's making it worse and might very well get you killed.

The first thing he does is pull out his gun, that escalated quickly.
He had to when someone has their hands in their pockets. It just shows you never been on that kind of situation. Cop is right
Hahahahaha Jacy... How is the cop right... Cop was literally driving around and gets out of his car because the guy is recording him... I'm all for cops but there was never even a reason for him to get out of his truck. Let alone pull his weapon out.
Above world don’t even try to reason with these idiots. You can argue until you get red in the face, no fixin stupid

Jacy Borreaux he did not have to get out of his police car. He intended to intimidate this guy no matter what. A cop needs a legal reason to confront a civilian and needs to site that reason the moment he contacts you.
So the cop admits he confronted the guy just because he pulled his camera out… but then his response is to pull a gun out? No simple “hey why are you filming me”?
His response to the guy refusing to pull his hand out of his pocket is why he drew the gun, which is 100% reasonable excuse for police to draw.

They accuse everyone, especially those trying to uphold their Own Constitutional Rights in Court, like Pro Se litigants who represent themselves, or those trying to obtain Government records thru Statutory procedures (like when they make "Open Records" request), or when trying to serve a public official in any Government facility, like at a Court.

Aren’t cops here to uphold the Constitution? Asking if the citizen believes in the rights afforded him under the Constitution infers that the cop is a fascist.
I'm in agreement with you friend
I think you misinterpret that question. It is asked because being "Some kind of constitutionalist" explains some of the abnormal behavior these "Policing the police" types display. If your the type of person that is serious about your rights and watching the police, then that explains behavior that would, under normal circumstances be strange or suspect. You often see cops saying that to people who are exercising their 2A rights. Walking up and down the sidewalk with a battle rifle slung over your shoulder is potentially strange and erratic behavior, doing so while speaking about 2A rights is perhaps unusual behavior, but entirely justified, and non threatening.
Randomly filming the police raises questions (Also in this video, the cop tells the guy to take his hand out of his pocket) This is a super common thing, they don't know what you have, you can see the gun on his hip, he doesn't know why your hand is in your pocket, and police die because they approached the wrong guy. This guy immediately says "No"
I would also like to clarify that I am not defending the cop in this situation, at all. His entire reason for stopping was wrong, this police interaction should never have happened. Taking pictures of the police isn't a crime (And although it is somewhat strange behavior it is not suspicious behavior) but some of these things you see cops say a lot. It is because they are trained to say it, or have learned to say it.
I have had a lot of experience with the police, on both sides of the law, I am beginning to know them well. "Are you some kind of constitutionalist" actually (Usually) means "Can I relax around you, is this a display of your rights, or just strange behavior"
Keep in mind cops are often fought or killed by people who were shouting "I haven't done anything, you don't have the right!" even when they were caught red handed and moments later are shooting at the police. Just sayin.
-Edit to be clear (After reading over what I wrote)
I am not saying that is how this guy was using this. This cop was behaving disgracefully, I am more commenting on why these phrazes crop up quite a lot. Not that they were in any way justified in this situation. The cop was treating this guy like he was a suspect in a serious crime, all because he filmed the police. Portions of this video look completely justified, and normal, until you remind yourself that this guy isn't suspected of armed robbery.
@@redrath2 "His entire reason for stopping was wrong, this police interaction should never have happened." exactly he should have just filmed him back and drive on, no need to stop since the man did nothing wrong, and instead the officer escalate the situation especially by drawing his weapon even when the guy don't want to pull his hand out of his pocket, last time i check putting your hand inside your pocket is not unlawful, and just because is super common thing doesn't mean is lawful, and the fact the officer still not holster his weapon after the guy put his hands out of his pocket is just so wrong
Because Everybody Talk like they know Something and instead they know Nothing That's why
No, no. That's the military that serves the historically important and federally recognized piece of paper. Cops aren't actually bound to obey the Constitution anywhere in the SOP.
As a retired Law enforcement official, it saddens me to see this. Just unreal.
Go paul way to speak on it
@@MrChuckDeez How had he rights to pull his gun on a civilian who was doing nothing wrong ? If I am standing on my lawn, I am at home and am not breaking any laws I can keep my hand inside my pockets all I want and nobody has a right to give me orders what to do with my hands. IF I am not breaking laws.
@@georgefromjungle5211 civilian was doing nothing wrong but he asked to show his hands. He potentially could of had a firearm or knife or anything. If he had of shown his hands the officer wouldn’t have drawn firearm use your common sense
@@georgefromjungle5211 actually if your speaking with a police officer you must display your hands at all times. You potentially could have a weapon the officer doesn’t know that and if you don’t show your hands are clear from a weapon he has a right to draw his.
👍Same here Paul I'm retired PO I worked intercity an had to make unaccountable arrests just because because the civilian just wouldn't do what he/she was told. They weren't even the reason for the assignment but they interfered with the reason for the call. "YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO"! Yes I can, do as I say an stay outta the way, simple as that. INTERFERING WITH OFFICAL BUSINESS is a crime. ✌️Be with you PO!
“Are you some kind of Constitutionalist” Your damn right. Aren’t you officer?
FIRE THAT GUY HE OBVIOUSLY HAS MENTAL ISSUES L
These type of mental whacko Leo get a gun meanwhile many ordinary folks are denied to bear gun to protect themselves! Gotta join a lodge and practice being Tyrant to qualify carrying a gun these days.
Clearly
Ikr. There no need to film a cop who is just doing his job then acting irratic and confruntational
@Jacob Strom please watch the video again Leos treat people as if they are slaves, oh wait land of the free?? America leads the whole world, yes comes in at number 1 for the amount of prisoners per Capita, we have over 2 millions of prisoners that's even way more than China. There are between 3 -5 "laws" codes and ordinances in real words that Americans break daily without even knowing it, think again Land of the free huh? Watch the video again, or maybe your a cop lover, oh wait maybe your a cop. Did cops not swear an oath to protect the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic? Then why are there 2 million people in Prison in USA, we've been distracted to long by Netflix methinks.
Shoot that guy tbh
That officer needs to be fired for his stupidity
Jailed !
He won't, at most he will be "fired" which means he will move to another police department in another city or state, that's what always happens in these cases... Tired of seeing this shit, actually considering deleting all social media I have and stopping my internet use almost completely because of how tired of seeing this shit I am
Fired for being a trump supporter, can't you tell, he asked, " What are you, some kind of constitutionalist ? " Which by the way, is not a word...

Something tells me he got away without even a slap on the wrist.. Cops are the hardest mf’s to hold accountable for their reckless decisions.

"are you some kind of constitutionalist"
Who took the oath to uphold the constitution?
That question speaks volumes.
@@billgreenidge6740 Yea... hmmm I was thinking so what is wrong with being a constitutionalist... well, maybe if one is working for the Roman world order.
Exactly. Without exception, every officer should be one. It's literally the reason they have a job.
Not being a constitutionalist is the problem in this country. We all should be constitutionalist.
1:10 "Constitutionalist"? You mean the thing you swore on and which is the foundation to your job? If one should be a 'constitutionalist' it'd be you.
Sounds like something Hannity and Laura would say.

"Are you some kind of constitutionalist...?" Shouldn’t we all be?
Yes, but you have to admit the guy with the camera was just trying to evoke that reaction from the cop. It's pretty disgusting that this cop feels the need to pull out his gun on this very obvious troll. I have several police officers in my family and they're all level headed and keep their cool. This cop clearly has issues and should be terminated.
@@ancientengineer798 Agreed. Gee, that doesn't usually happen in these discussions. :-)
@I like Potatoes What?
You should be perfectly happy when the people you pay to keep you safe threaten to murder you if you take their picture.
@@ancientengineer798 Police officers being level headed and cool LOL. Tell that to the many domestic abuse cases. Cops are subhuman tools.
Yeah "relax" while a cop pulls his gun on you. That makes sense.
A black guy would be dead. Assessing a situation by asking a question out you window, OK, getting out of a car and confronting someone in front of their house in the middle of the day, pulling a gun, wrong personality to be a cop. Older, angry hard right winger with lots of sonority, who know the union and local politicians will cover for anything he might do short of murder. If politics and the crap you watch when you are home changes the way you do your dangerous job, it's time for a new job, for 99% of suburban cops the job isn't that hard or dangerous so just do it.
If that were a gangbusters this guy would not have the balls to talk shut to him like he did this cop. This civilian wants to impress me than run the same mouth to one of the cripes or bloods. You do that and get away with it then you will impress me. Not this crap.
crop. It were a black guy then he is probably stealing the boat
Just kidding
@@mykofreder1682 why would he dead if he were black? What if that cop is not a racist?
He took his gun out when he didn’t need to. That alone is a violation.
"you need to relax" is police code for "I'm making a fake excuse to use physical force on you".

Never Fail - Absolutely unacceptable. Cops that act like this need to be reprimanded. They swear an oath to uphold the Constitution, not violate it’s most important tenants, violating the rights and liberty of citizens that have not committed a crime.
Something similar happened in July 2011 in Norway where a terrorist dressed as a police officer told kids to relax as he quickly closed in and then shot them...
He said that as if he wanted to execute that man. It's so goddamn terrifying to be told like that

I mean the cop didn't actually do anything that should be illegal. He realised his mistake and left after a few minutes max. Obviously he had no reason to draw his gun but he has a license to handle it and never actually pointed it anywhere but the ground.

“Are you some kind of crazy guy?”
He asked whilst holding a gun by his side
Jaiden Wichelow he is an officer dumbass of course his gun is going to be by his side
Vladdy it’s in his hand unholstered dickweed, literally trying to intimidate him, you are the reason I hate people
Vladdy you know what I meant you moron, he’s threatening the man for no reason
Jaiden Wichelow I would simply ask in response how you would deal with a situation like this. Police are called to an unknown situation, where this officer, from the video presented by CNN, was immediately faced with what could have appeared to be a hostile situation.
When he asked the cameraman to remove his hand from his pockets, the man illegally refused a verbal order from a police officer while attempting to place distance between the officer and himself. There are countless studies which I encourage you to read before placing your fond opinions online about the required distance for a hidden weapon to become lethal.
The officer, now with weapon drawn because of the obvious potential for this situation to run out of hand simply removed his weapon from holster. Never even pointed it at the cameraman.
Instead of automatically assuming that the person making the video is 100% truthful and just a “social justice warrior” fighting a “corrupt” police station, look into the facts about hostile situations, look into the facts about officer training, look into the facts about the region. Learn before you attack.
Riley Hawkins funny you say learn before you attack. Besides even after the man took his hand out of his pockets and emptied it he still had his gun out
"Are you some kind of Constitutionalist? A crazy guy or something like that?" That right there should be enough to get this little tyrant fired.
