Outstanding! GET’EM Jeff! 👍🏻
@HonorYourOath Civil Rights Investigations
You should post how to compliment the Sgt on his honesty in reporting and his integrity in reviewing the situation. This guy is *EXACTLY* the kind of officer that is needed.
All IA investigations should be as Transparent.
Wow! Perfect!
@@steadfastneasy26 He's just covering his own dumb ash. Who knows what he actually told those ignorant cops. He obviously had been rehearsing his story to absolve himself of any responsibility.
This is what transparency should look like.
This is what an informed officer looks like.
"Did they violate his civil rights ?"
*"YES !"*
But what was done about it. What’s going to stop this cop from doing it again?
Hey atleast it's a step in the right direction! This is the beginning to change what can only hope!
Yes! And PERIOD! SETTLEMENT 💵💵💵
I think you don't how this process work. You are seeing this video because the complaint was sustained..and Jeff did Open Record Request.
They didn't release voluntarily...
@@imbalancedstatus8824 I get that but they didn't Stone wall with under investigation bullshit and wait years to release it like in most cases
I am so glad to see this Sargent tell the truth, the lieutenant for actually investigating. Hopefully something comes of this and officers take classes on the first amendment
All the amendments actually. The 4th and 5th spring to mind.
@@izifaddag8221 damn near learn it word for word considering their pay. A skilled labor has to go through hoops and hurdles to get that pay
@@greggbarr7752 You are right. But these clowns aren't picked for their learning ability. They should learn the entire constitution word for word.
The 4 is the one the Constantly violate also! The new SS
You can’t teach common sense. They did what they did because they lack a moral compass and common sense.
Really surprised to be viewing this. Glad that they released it.
The transparency is refreshing.
Same
It was released because they didn’t want to mess with Jeff any further
When you seek out negative police actions all day on youtube, you will always be surprised when you see reality.
@@kulio1214
Also, there are more recordings of civil rights violations than I will ever have enough time to watch in my lifetime.
*Now that everyone has a camera in their pocket, the abuse of power just isnt tenable anymore.*
Everyone (both police and citizens) should record every interaction now. I certainly do.
Cheers!
I can't Describe how happy this video made me. Finally some accountability and transparency in one guy/video. Thank you for being a good officer.
How can you say he was a good officer when the cops he was supposed to supervise did not know either city or state law and violated a citizen's rights without even a crime? They should have been in a class learning basic law instead of being on the street! I really don't believe that he didn't know all this before the incident ever happened!
@@tclem44 That's the point of accountability. Eventually everyone is forced to be good.
@@tclem44 even if you have meetings an officer can still violate someone. And they very well go over basics in law enforcement. Just someone wanted to puff their chest out and had nothing else to do.
His ego needed to do something to someone and it wasn't the supervisors fault.
If he was a good officer then he would have actually arrested the other cops for violating their oaths.
This cop is a coward he did nothing to stop it hes part of the problem🤦♂️
WOW! I really hope this officer doesn't get any backlash from his co-workers. What we need, desperately, is more cops like this. A man with some damn integrity!
I think the detaining officer is the odd man out. The sgt is well spoken and seems like he is the right man for the job
These are the precious stepping stones for the future. When more cops start to stand against internal injustices and actually actively protect the citizens we can move in the right direction. This is one small battle that I hope pushes the charge for more change like this.
Great clip.
I feel like they need know that if they stand up to protect us and the constitution then we'll all stand up for those individual officers when they need our help against tyrants and politically motivated thugs in suits.
@@WhitefolksT that's a really great point! There's a phrase that Bay Area Transparency always says that I appreciate, something along the lines of "We're not against the police, we're against bad policing".
This Sergeant actually knew the law and it sounds like he intervened to stop this man from being arrested and jailed illegally. Amazing.
But why does he know it and not his subordinates? If he isn’t training them who is? What I am getting at is that higher ups are as fault as well.
@@TheBooban His subordinates do what most Police officers do in the US. They take a call from a dispatcher that listens to a phone caller that, because they don’t like something, make it sound that someone is doing wrong. The dispatcher makes it sound as if he’s doing something wrong to the officer. And when you have low IQ men as police officers they believe something is being done that’s wrong. Low IQ individuals think that because they have been recruited then they must be obeyed and they express their Ego over proper investigation. How many times have we seen Civil Rights investigators ask for a supervisor who then schools thick officers on the law.
It does not matter how long you send low IQd individuals to an academy for they cannot learn anything.
If you employ Clowns you get a Circus.
Oh no, Jeff was indeed Arrested per the definition in Black's Law Dictionary. He was handcuffed and his Liberty removed from him. He was not allowed to move about freely simple because these bottom of the barrel hires didn't know the law.
They can call it a "detention" all they want but it was a custodial arrest and they should be on the hook for that violation of Rights.
The sergeant wasn't on scene at anytime during this encounter was he?
Hasn't he come to his conclusions from the video?
@@TheBooban That's a good point.
Great to hear honest, informed officers are out there.
Oh please. The officer was reading off a teleprompter.! Bet you look into his jacket/ file and you’ll change your mind.
Omg, there is some hope!!!! Clear articulate factual accurate assessment of the encounter and law.
@@mr.duanesharpe There are some officers out there that actually believe in protecting people's rights. Not everyone is out to get you.
That’s a Sergeant, he better show he knows the law.
@@desenagrator yeah right .... they good ones till they get caught like these officers lol
Hallelujah!!! This supervisor is exactly what we need in law enforcement.
[high-jacks him, and adds him to my area police] hehehehe hahahaha
@@larrypaculdar3255 if you are a pig, then YOU stand up, not bring someone else in who has courage! SMH
@@kevinchamberlain7928 Dude. is you crazy? I just said how I liked that he did the right thing, and would want him on the police force in my area. Honesty is the best policy. SMH at you also.
Surprised and shocked. Firstly, I am surprised that the police released a video that supports the fact that their officers were wrong and violated the rights of a citizen. I am shocked that a police officer seems to be telling the truth and not lying for his blue-line minions. This calls for a drink (mostly because I want one). Jeff, you are one of the best out there, sir.
When you are called to testify under oath to IA, and you know there is clear undeniable video evidence, you can't make stuff up... No shocker here, if he lies to protect his pals he for certain gets terminated instantly while the morons he would be lying for would still have their jobs. Easy peasy, no one gets fired, reprimand at most. Jeff gets paid.
Very surprising indeed and this needs to start happening everywhere. The governments time is up, everyone is armed with a camera nowadays.
they didnt release out of goodwill - they were either subpoenaed or FOIAd
@@ghostrider-be9ek sure you are right. Still felt good to see anyway.
@@jimmyjambon9206 yeah, that’s how will likely turn out. Can’t wait for the day that we see true accountability. Written reprimands don’t amount to crap IMO.
OUT-FRICKIN'-STANDING!! You guys are having a positive impact. Thank you.
Finally a cop that isn't afraid to tell the truth and step outside his gang. I'd buy that man a beer if I could. Hopefully he is a FTO and teaches these new guys how to behave.
As always, great work by Jeff. He is second to none in the auditing community. I think it also bears mentioning that this department has done the right thing (so far) in not only investigating the situation, but also releasing this video. Far from a cop sucker, but i do believe in giving credit when it’s appropriate. Time will tell wether this department actually makes some needed changes or just does the LEO two-step. I wont hold my breath.
Dave, you’re definitely NOT a cop-sucker whenever you demand accountability and transparency, call out the bad and poorly trained cops when they deserve it and PRAISE the good cops when they honor their oath!
This particular Sgt. stopped a pair of bad cops that particular night in New Smyrna Beach, and possibly prevented that pathetic False Arrest from turning into something even far more egregious than Jeff’s civil rights being trampled…(as if that’s not egregious enough!)

What's happening is that their starting to realize that this community is getting to big to ignore anymore.... thanks to social media the fight builds and is just getting stronger
Very well put
Jeff, you made my day, thank you for that update. You're end of the year video discussing your 4 arrests in 2021 and the lack of our freedoms, which you are correct about, seeing that video of internal affairs, I hope that this gave you faith to continue to push forward and keep the pressure on, Thank you to all of the auditors out there we need to keep pushing forward and you will have my support
Good for that Sgt for being honest, open and not trying to circle the wagons to save bad cops.
I agree, but it's not like he had any choice. The video evidence is absolutely damning and leaves no doubt that they violated his rights.
That Sgt maliciously prosecuted me
@@wr7145 Police don’t prosecute people, states attorneys prosecute.
@@TBagr look up malicious prosecution - i correct myself - the third party did and the police aided them in doing so , specifically that lazy ass cop Sgt Kirkland
damn, brought that guy in 7pm on Christmas eve. smells like triple time to me. great job
Nice to see you here 5-0
The covid propagandist! Remember to logout and log in to a new account to upvote yourself, because these are not good comments, you upvote your own comments to game the system. What a skeezbag.
I see that coward deleted his post
@@paulpollock3197 You sound like a disgruntled crybaby
@@paulpollock3197 You noticed that too?
Thank you Sgt. Kirkland for honoring your oath. Thank you Jeff for protecting your community.
Good for this sergeant for correcting the officers on scene, for reiterating that this man’s rights were violated in this interview & for not trying to cover this incident up, like I have seen SO MANY supervisors do! Every department in the USA could use more supervisors/leaders like this!
Absolutely the best follow up I have seen in a long time. For those that think the police "released" the IA videos: The city doesn't get to decide what to release, that is governed by state law. If we get to see it, then it was disclosable to any member of the public (which is everyone on Earth). They were forced to produce it as a matter of law. A credit to you Mr. Gray as you're an example to follow.
Wow...there is an honest cop. Never thought I'd live long enough to see one!
Well he's being honest but that certainly doesn't mean he's an honest cop...
@@buyerofsorts
Let’s hope you can infer one from another….
He will probably get fired for being honest.
@@buyerofsorts ok debby downer
How do you know he was being honest ? He just said what was needed to keep his job.
WOW!! Finally an honest investigation. At least the detaining cops acted civilly. They do however need to be retrained and reminded to contact a superior if they have any concerns of questions. Good job internal affairs.
Wow. Just wow. Clearly admitted violation. Great work Jeff. Excellence in execution
Wow! I love to see someone in law enforcement who is actually knowledgeable of laws! This is awesome to see.
This is what I would hope would come from my city police. I know several officers and was very upset with the actions taken that day against you. This video renews my respect for most of them. The quick investigation into there actions was also refreshing.
Just to be clear. The supervisor admits that two subordinates committed civil rights violations against a citizen, under color of law, and he knew about it. Then he proceeded to pretend it never happened and these two knuckle-draggers are not held accountable. I think one could argue the Sargent is also derelict in his duty to train and supervise his subordinates as well as report crimes he has personally witnessed.
What do you suppose an IA investigation can and will do with this Sgt's deposition? The fact that this video EXISTS more or less guarantees nobody will be pretending it never happened. The knuckle-draggers really can't escape some degree of accountability now.
It probably won't be as much as we (the public) would like, but its on the record and that toothpaste ain't going back in the tube. Here's to hoping its more than a slap on the wrist, and that Jeff gets compensated enough to keep doing what he does.
@@somebodyelse6673 of course they can.
This has to be a first. Cops investigated themselves and found actual wrongdoing.
Hands down, unequivocal, with out a doubt the absolute best follow up I have seen in 25 years of LEO accountability.
Unfortunately, SGT. Kirkland will not be employed soon, or meet an untimely.....
Most likely other officers will target his family. I agree, I would be willing to bet he loses those stripes soon!
I wish all govt departments were this transparent. It's the only way they can learn and move forward. Honesty is the best Policy.
This sarge seems like a good man, he was the voice of reason on the night and he carries himself with honour and integrity in this interview, this whole IA investigation is what you imagine it to be not like the majority of clear cases of cover up that you see, it's encouraging to see things being handled correctly. There needs to be more cops like this sarge on the streets and running things.
That's a bit more transparency than I was expecting! Keep up the good fight, Jeff!
I agree
This is what we're fighting for and all it takes is some education. Three thumbs up!
That sergeant really gives me ho o e that there is some great Cops still in America. Wished that we had about a million more just like him.
OMG! To have this on video. Truth. They're done in federal court. Good for you Mr. Gray. Thank you for your wonderful work.
Great to see a good cop at long last honouring their oath 👏👏👍
The Sgt. Been watching Jeff's channel a lot! Your training has served them well. Cheers from Canada!!! 🇨🇦
Hard to believe but this Officer seems to be an honest man who’s honoring the oath he took to protect and defend the Constitution. My faith in police is restored……..at least for a little while.
You wanna know what's happening? These tactics are working. I was in Albuquerque, NM a few months ago having a conversation with a guy out there. He was vocal about being pro police. He said he has a friend who is a police officer and he said that he feels like he can't do his job because his hands are tied.
My response was GOOD!
We had a long, respectful, peaceful conversation about why people commit crimes and why there is such animosity toward police. We watched a lot of videos. Lots of 1AA videos (Jeff's are GREAT). We're still friends. :)
He likes being a Sargent with eyes to move up and he's not sticking his neck out for officer McMuscles Shirttoosmall. That's all that's going on here. Don't read too much into it.
Great job officer!! You are part of the upcoming change that cops and law enforcement need to have….congratulations sir …we need more officers like you.
Wow, this Sergeant is doing excellent work. More like him and the disconnect goes away real quick.
I don't want to be naïve, and I know that many in this community think there are no good cops and they are all corrupt and all want to violate rights. Sometimes it seems that way. But this sergeant appears to know his job and is not afraid of the truth. Thank God for people like him, that we NEED in law enforcement.
Holy shit, a cop being honest.
He maliciously prosecuted .e
I'm glad to see a supervisor who shows a good grasp and understanding of these basic laws and rights but why weren't the cops under him educated?
@Bobb Grimley definitely could be the case but I personally think most departments have a culture of ignorance of the law and perceived false understandings of their authority and mandate. I think young cops educating themselves on the law in looked upon badly and many get weeded out.
@Bobb Grimley yeah, the irony is incredibly rich. Instead of seeing a camera and showing a fake version and promoting policing, they immediately escalate and become confrontational. It's hard to believe that level of arrogance.
Oh my God, I absolutely loved sergeant Kirkland, finally an officer that is standing up for what is right.
I pray to God this man moves up the ladder and becomes the captain or the chief of police someday, but this might not happen because he did not back the blue.
He is an order following cuck that violates -- and I assure you this man violated natural, civil, and constitutional rights against many, many people over his career. There is no such thing as a good cop.
Thank you for what you do Jeff. You have my support and my respect. ALL cops need to know the law before enforcing it and ALL cops should face accountability. They should be earning the trust and respect of their community. Not acting like bullies and tyrants.
This kind of transparency is good to see. I wonder what will come of it all.
That is awesome to hear I police officer say that other officers of his department violated somebody's rights. We need more officers in the world like him.
Go get them, Jeff. Solid Sargent for being honest….
Wow…I’m absolutely shocked that they released this. This is the sort of transparency that EVERY DEPARTMENT IN AMERICA ought to be providing to the public.
Anything short of this right here, in any and all incidents, should be the exception and viewed by all as a complete and utter disgrace.
Well done, Jeff. It’s nice to see a little, however minute, justice prevail…if even for a fleeting moment.
Love the Sergeant selling out his minions. A crack in the blue gang line. He better watch his back from now on
Even though he's above them?
Great job Jeff these are the positive changes you are making with all your hard work I hope you take some satisfaction in seeing this recording and a maybe a change in attitude from law enforcement realizing they must work within the law
ATTENTION IGNORANT OFFICERS THE LAW KEEPS YOU IN CHECK TOO ITS FOR EVERYONE
This is absolutely amazing that they released this especially with what is said
They didn’t release it. Jeffrey released it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏼 Much respect to Jeff. Kudos to this supervisor for actually knowing the law and correcting his underlings. Thank you Jeff for all you do. 💗
It's almost like this was so well documented that it became impossible to run from or fabricate a story to justify the violating his his rights.
It's good to see the man with bars tell it how it is even if he has no choice.
Glad to see this. Good on that Sergeant for defending the constitution. We need many many more like that. Hopefully his integrity is valued within his department. Also hopefully the arresting officers can check their egos and learn from this and strive to be more like Sergeant Kirkland here.
God bless Jeff and homeless
veterans everywhere.
Wow today's my lucky day. On an unrelated channel today, was the first time I ever witnessed a recorded IA interview, albeit audio only.
Then I come over here and witness a video recorded session! I hope this trend of transparency continues.
Sgt answers truthfully even though it "breaks" the blue line. Here's hoping that he thrives and isn't retaliated against; we need more like him.
My only complaint is that I don't have time to watch all right now; gonna save in a playlist and eagerly watch the rest tomorrow! I can't wait! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Jeff im.sooo glad you told me about you 10 years ago at Winn Dixie, I've been following you since and watch every single video
Very cool 😎
When people disrespect auditors they need to see things like this. Without them no way we’d have this, or at least visible on TH-cam like this. Thank you to all auditors for bringing awareness to our rights while making sure accountability is present within these governments.
This gives me hope.
Awesome Jeff!! I just watched the video of Beatty's I.A. interview. As an employer of public servants, it is my humble decision that Ofc. Beatty should be stripped of His Qualified Immunity and be discharged, never to be hired again in the line of law enforcement. All it takes is one mistake that will lead to many subsequent mistakes during a public interview, and now there is a DEAD PRIVATE CITIZEN laying on the sidewalk. Al because of an ill-educated bully cop...
Great to hear they think so as well. What’s going on with amergansit press??? Hope its the same outcome
Wow, this might be the best thing I've ever witnessed. Complete honesty and willing to stick up for a person's rights than be popular down at the station.
Now there sit's a very honest and respectful police officer! I wish we have 1000 more just like him! This man needs a raise, promotion, award and paid vacation. I hope he has a very long career as a police officer.
Well, Sgt Kirkland deserves some praise for being competent and transparent amongst a group of corrupt individuals!
We got the original, the body cam, now the IA interview…. I cant wait for chapter 4!
@War M--Unfortunately, there will be at least Chapter 24 before this is over.
As a retired police officer this warms my heart that a sergeant would do his duty
That's a shiny piece of evidence/testimony in a civil rights trial right there
Holy crap!! I can't believe the Sergeant said YES! Bravo, Sarge 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nicely done! You do an amazing job. Thanks for standing up for all of our rights! #preesh
This is what building back the public trust looks like! Respect to the Sargent
I think that SGT. Came to the right conclusion. Glad to see that they didn't try to cover it up. Unfortunately that answer will cost the citizens. Hope the 2 officers are educated and given proper punishment.
The fact a senior officer is throwing a fellow officer under the bus by telling the truth proves Jeff is making the change that all LEOS need to be held accountable
Man somebody gives this cop a raise. Put this guy in charge of all training.
So happy to see this. What we do is working. Recently recorded a Sargent pulling a not very well informed officer right off my camera's view. Seconds after I said there is no expectation of privacy in public.
Very good, Jeff is one of the best auditors out there.
We need more sergeants like that!! More leaders like that guy please!
Hope you are staying warm down there in Florida
It's 5 degrees and dropping fast in northern Illinois
It's -6 degrees here now. It was -15 degrees yesterday so we're starting a heat wave now. 🤣
Forgot to say I'm in North IOWA.🤦
@@shirleyz7400 we're getting down to -7 in my town overnight. Definitely cold but I've been in worse
She’s a bit chilly here in Ontario Canada.
Finally an officer who is honest. I commend you Sergeant. Thank you for upholding your oath.
I would not have believed this if I did not see it with my own eyes. Jeff is the GOAT
This is awesome!
So happy to see these officers actually honour the oath 🙏🏽👍🏽✊🏽
Kudos to the sarge
I agree, give credit where credit is due
Well I’m floored. This is the most open and honest I’ve ever seen cops be. The real question now is: what did they do about it?
It is nice to see police do what seems to be a good will investigation
A bad cops nightmare is to respond to a call to find Mr. Gray there. The master, Mr. Ball Buster.
Thank you Jeff for all the great work you do for all of us. God bless you my brother.
Good to hear the voice of an honest cop, who plays by the rules.
Good job, Sgt. Kirkland! Should be more cops like him out there.
Really interesting. I believe this supervisor COULD have answered the last question with "no, the officers were acting in good faith of what they (erroneously) thought were panhandling laws" however I'm very glad he didn't answer this way
And I don't believe the man was panhandling. There is a man that holds up a sign that says "God bless the homeless vets." that does not panhandle.
@@raybrensike42 oh absolutely, Jeff was not panhandling. However at glance, to someone not paying close enough attention (the officers), it could appear that he was. And unfortunately, the courts are very lenient with police
The sgt has no idea if those other two cops were acting in good faith or not. It's up to each of the other cops to make that claim, and defend it later in court if it gets that far.
No, he couldn't. He was asked his opinion on whether it was a violation of civil rights, not what may justify it in a trial.
Awesome! I made a complaint to the Chief on this one, he said there was an IA on it. Hopefully, they are AT MINIMUM written up, and retrained!!
How come that conversation between the two cops isn't on body cam video?
...and THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why Jeff is the GOAT!
There is one honest cop after all ! So sad that there aren't more videos of
cops that uphold their oaths.
Those officers Beatty and Goat need to be trained on the Constitution. The Sergeant told the truth. Great job Jeff!
This was an amazing validation for the actual righteous work of 1A auditors like Jeff. What an amazing admission! But, where does Jeff go from here with this particular department?
Lawsuit for civil rights violations. I've seen similar where a guy sued and reviewed 95,000.00 for 1st amendment and 4 the amendment violations . Hopefully Jeff comes out with similar.
@@kevinhoye4942 Jeff is more likely,on this occasion, ( because of the transparency) to demand a written apology from the officers, and get assurances that some sort of retraining be introduced. No ,I’m wrong, I wouldn’t be upset if he took them for it all, it would be a slam dunk and they or their colleagues wouldn’t give Jeff a second.chance. Take the money it might be needed for future fights.
137k subscribers and rising for a reason. Absolutely excellent content with follow ups. Nothing worse than those who get violated and never post follow ups
🎯🎯
I consider this a win for not only the auditing community but for all Americans! Good job, Jeff and God bless the Homeless Veterans!
Great Sgt a guy who knows the rights of people and what constitutes abuse of powers .
wow you are getting into the minds of the police . thank you for your continued effort holding the police accountable.
Thank you for uploading this video it’s refreshing to see an officer a Sergeant in this case tell the truth etc.
Thank you for actually following up these with the proper channels and not just doing it for the TH-cam views
WOW....an actual honest Sergeant in our midst, wonders never cease!
