How is it they get to investigate and pass judgment on themselves? If they do, then we should. Let us get our friends and associates to investigate ourselves.
no that said they want to start an Akron Police Oversite Board….. and then they ruined by saying that applicants for the board should have “law enforcement experience”
This is the same as water boarding. Water boaring is against international law related to Geneva convention. Were is the Dept of Justice in this case. Where are the Combat Veterans ?

"Personal reasons." Yeah wouldn't bet one of those "personal reasons" is to avoid a lawsuit and criminal charge against him for excessive force, as an officer.
Another personal reason is to preserve his ability to get another six-figure job as a cop almost immediately. When a LEO finally gets convicted of something, it's often found that there were prior resignations and aborted disciplinary actions. Theoretically this kind of thing would be put on the "Brady list" but only the most egregious offenders ever get listed.

This isn't excessive use of force this is abuse and assault. Excessive force implies that there's at least a purpose in what they do but went to far ! This is like me running up to a cop and trying to shove donuts in his mouth I'm pretty sure I would go to jail for assault!

When police sergeant’s lieutenant, police chief’s internal affairs release statement, saying they find no wrongdoing in the the way a cop handled the situation when there’s video evidence, saying the opposite there’s something wrong with the whole police organization that needs to be dismantled and shut the fu@k down
"Failed to comply" ?? If the snow wasn't there what would the cop stuff in the citizen's mouth ? Another example of Qualified Immunity and the actions caused when officers aren't afraid of being punished. He resigned for personal reasons ? SO he could keep his pension.
Wait a minute. Did the former chief really think that saying the man wouldn’t comply would justify the cop shoving snow in his face? That’s like saying “my kid talked back to me, so I punched him in the mouth.” At this point it’s like a competition for what outlandish act can we do, and get away with it.
Given the propensity of cops to use violence at home, at least 2x the rate of the general population, the chief probably sees nothing wrong with punching a kid. He might even spew some Bible nonsense to justify it.
Right. Adding only that the child would be first handcuffed and then punched. Back the blue until it happens to you. It won't stop until more of us demand it does. There's too many people out there that think if it happens the person had it coming.
Well said. His comments are what pisses me off. These high ranking officials with their continuous defense of those pigs will only allow that abusive behavior of citizens to continue.
This is why qualified immunity needs to abolished. And law suit settlements need to come out of the officer's pay. And the department's budget. I know that the police department's insurance companies would love that.
There is NO excuse for this behaviour AT ALL and anybody who could find this behaviour appropriate is immediately suspect. This goes against the evidence of our eyes and anybody who could deny that is certainly NOT IMPARTIAL.
@@AndriaaLeoLove actually, it was a "SUSPECTED" domestic violence that they went to talk to the guy about.. he was never actually charged with that because they found no evidence to corroborate the claim.. there is video footage of the entire story all over TH-cam if you wanna see what really went down.. the real news network had a great segment with all the footage about it..stay blessed
They couldn’t control him so they used unlawful means to keep him down. This is completely insane and I hope the victim keeps up the fight to keep transparency.
First of all snow is frozen water. Water inserted in the nasal/ pharyng region will cause aspiration ( drowning) the water goes into the lungs 🫁 causing pneumonia , drowning. That is why waterboarding is used in uncivilized countries it is cruel and inhumane treatment. That is also why it is considered a international incident and protected by Geneva Convention Treaty. This was waterboarding plain and simple and I don't care how and whom spends it.. This should be investigated by the DOJ ,if it is not then as AMERICAN citizens we should be concerned about our freedom.
City of Akron Police: "We have invested ourselves and have found no wrongdoing. We love for our officers to practice arts and crafts during the arrest." But seriously we have to end the police being able to investigate themselves and qualified immunity.
This is another example where an ENTIRE police department needs sacking and then thoroughly investigated on criminal charges. National guard MP's can provide policing during the time of recruiting and restoring a constitutional and by the law police department. Creating an alibi and obstruction of law are both "CRIMINAL" offences punishable by serious jail time

Just imagine this for a moment, law enforcement has become such a shit show they're having a hard time recruiting decent people!. Wow couldn't see that coming.
Why did the officer behave this way? Well that press conference by the cheif say's it all. Even after video evidence show's what his officer did. He approves of it. With the he didn't comply and resisted. 🤦
So, at the end of the news clip, they're creating a citizen oversight committee, but they are trying to fill the committee with former police and such. 🤔. That's not oversight. It's stacking the deck. Smh
What is going on with the police? They don’t seem to have any empathy for the people they are supposed to serve. I just hate when the tax payers foot the bill for wrong doing by police. I hope that’s not the case here. The cops should pay for the lawsuits if the courts rule in favor of the plaintiff.
Not to be a jerk... But cops don't work for you, me, our neighbors nor are they there to serve. "US" they work for the "agency" that hired them and do as they're told. A supreme court judge actually made that mindless ruling... People think it's just cops being rotten, it's not, it's the corrupt politicians and legislators turn g people against people.

How much more of this must we deal with on a regular basis. After watching the video in its entirety, I never saw Hicks be anything other than compliant. Then we see a spokesperson for the police say that it was in fact due to Hicks not being compliant that snow was forced in his moth and nostrils making it harder to breathe. Citizens are getting very tired of this corrupt behavior and are realizing that they themselves are paying for the lawsuits. The officers sued think it is funny and think that they can use the words qualified immunity and that will keep them safe. Just keep thinking that. We are coming for that and to make all lawsuits that arise from your bad decisions come from your pockets. It may not happen in the next yr but all you keep doing is pissing off the wrong people. America is waking up to a new year and new times. To all of you pos police officers who are crooked and weak, we are coming for you. Take that blue line crap off of our flag. That lawsuit has already been filed. Watch your backs because there is ALWAYS someone bigger and badder than you.
You saw an edited version of the video, it went from hiks on the porch with hands out to snow face stuffing….thats not how it actually happened…js….regardless of the TRUTH that hiks started resisting..im pretty sure face-stufging with snow isnt a proper option. ButQI isnt an issue here so stop crying…the lawsuit went forward, QI was lifted….working as ontended.
This video needs to go viral and everyone in the town of Akron needs to call the police chief, city Council, and the mayor and demand the federal marshals come in and do an investigation. This was nothing but sadistic brutality and I hope this man sues the hell out of Akron and wins a settlement
We don't want apologies. Apologies are empty gestures. We want justice. We want the officers to face not just the same, but more time than any other member of society would face, only because we need to hold these employees to a higher standard, for these employees of the State have the power of life and death.
Cops. If you view TH-cam you'll see more violent acts than this. I saw a cop put a handcuffed woman in a patrol car parked on a train track and the train hit her.
People always wonder how in the world cops think they can get away with this stuff. Well, the answer is in the exhaustively few times....short of out and out murder (but only if captured on videotape!)....that any cop is ever prosecuted for these crimes.
Would they, though? Nice hyperbole. Kids do it to other kids all the time. Akin to a "face wash." I've honestly never heard of someone imprisoned for shoving snow in someone's face/mouth. Lots of born victims out there.
No kids don't. And if they do they aren't shoving the snow as roughly as the cop was. Also, unless you're an idiot (which I'm 99% sure you are) then you'd know shoving something in a person's mouth can restrict their breathing, even snow. As a person who lives in a places where it snows 8 months out of the year, not all snow if soft and quick to melt either.
@@codetsfacts2808 A bullying denier. Interesting. 🤦♂ ("No kids don't. And if they do..." Clearly knowledgeable on the subject. 🙄🤣 Do they? Don't they? 🤔 )
How anyone with a conscious could stand behind this action only proves that that person HAS NONE!!! They only have each other to protect and lie for themselves.
I understand wanting to do it. However, doing it makes you no different than the person who committed domestic violence. You chose to humiliate a man who couldn't fight back the same way he humiliated a partner/spouse who couldn't fight back.
The cop version of water boarding, ironic that if soldiers did this on foreign soil they would be prosecuted, but domestic cops just get a civil suit that they don't even have to pay.
Packing snow in the mouth and nostrils of a handcuffed suspect goes far beyond just disrespect, it's criminal intent to inflict bodily harm or death.
in canada it could be "choking to overcome resistance", which is life in prison.

If that snow was melted, it would be waterboarding!

Please sue and get justice!This is hideous!
Justice won’t be served until criminal cops find themselves behind bars serving time. Laws and punishments should apply to ALL.
"Failed to comply" ?? If the snow wasn't there what would the cop stuff in the citizen's mouth ? Another example of Qualified Immunity and the actions caused when officers aren't afraid of being punished. He resigned for personal reasons ? SO he could keep his pension.
Waterboarding/suffocation with evidence that would 'evaporate'.
Fists
And now the evil scum bag officer can apply for another position being a police officer because this police department let him resign..
Deny his pension! No tax dollars spent on his retirement.
What tf did QI have to do with this matter? NOTHING…ABSOLUTELY NOTHING 🤡
That's awfully close to home. They better hope they never screw with my family that way.
The other cops that did nothing to stop this should be in jail
Wait a minute. Did the former chief really think that saying the man wouldn’t comply would justify the cop shoving snow in his face? That’s like saying “my kid talked back to me, so I punched him in the mouth.” At this point it’s like a competition for what outlandish act can we do, and get away with it.
Given the propensity of cops to use violence at home, at least 2x the rate of the general population, the chief probably sees nothing wrong with punching a kid. He might even spew some Bible nonsense to justify it.
Right. Adding only that the child would be first handcuffed and then punched. Back the blue until it happens to you. It won't stop until more of us demand it does. There's too many people out there that think if it happens the person had it coming.
Well said. His comments are what pisses me off. These high ranking officials with their continuous defense of those pigs will only allow that abusive behavior of citizens to continue.
@@williezar2231 Just ask almost anyone related to a cop.
@jennyk629 Your comment is excellent. 👌
They actually don't do that to animals,
They show more compassion !!!!
That officer needs to be arrested and charged with assault. There is no excuse for shoving snow into someone's mouth.
AND NOSE THREE TIMES, attempted suffocation.
Always record the police
What if the arrested guy had beat your butt? Still no excuse?
Still no excuse
Attempted murder is more like it.
We investigated ourselves and we found ourselves not guilty….we the people are tired of this nonsense!
This is horrifying! That officer should never be on the streets again!
This is why qualified immunity needs to abolished. And law suit settlements need to come out of the officer's pay. And the department's budget. I know that the police department's insurance companies would love that.
There is NO excuse for this behaviour AT ALL and anybody who could find this behaviour appropriate is immediately suspect.
This goes against the evidence of our eyes and anybody who could deny that is certainly NOT IMPARTIAL.
Sounds Like Justice for the person he committed domestic violence in to me. Hope she was smiling.
@@AndriaaLeoLove actually, it was a "SUSPECTED" domestic violence that they went to talk to the guy about.. he was never actually charged with that because they found no evidence to corroborate the claim.. there is video footage of the entire story all over TH-cam if you wanna see what really went down.. the real news network had a great segment with all the footage about it..stay blessed
Evil continues to find ways to inflict harm.
Will this never stop. It's out of control every where.
I hope any lawsuit ends with everyone involved being desertified and for many, arrested. This cannot and will not stand.
They couldn’t control him so they used unlawful means to keep him down. This is completely insane and I hope the victim keeps up the fight to keep transparency.
That's attempted murder. He tryed to kill him. Wow
"He was treated like an animal"... I've never heard of a human packing snow into an animals mouth.
He was treated like a animal? Who treats animals this way?
He is correct internal investigations always works in their favor.
No. Not always.... But, yes... Sometimes too often. I guess it depends on the state, and agency.. ( state, county, local)
@@denisehaley9271 I'm glad you convinced yourself of that.
True
Hey. I'm old enough to remember when there was NO internal investigation!
Pigs...straight up
That's ridiculous! They don't know what the snow may contain, they are seriously endangering this person outside of what the law requires.
It’s pretty evident they don’t CARE what the snow may contain.
First of all snow is frozen water. Water inserted in the nasal/ pharyng region will cause aspiration ( drowning) the water goes into the lungs 🫁 causing pneumonia , drowning. That is why waterboarding is used in uncivilized countries it is cruel and inhumane treatment. That is also why it is considered a international incident and protected by Geneva Convention Treaty. This was waterboarding plain and simple and I don't care how and whom spends it.. This should be investigated by the DOJ ,if it is not then as AMERICAN citizens we should be concerned about our freedom.
Gotta love the response "he didn't immediately kowtow to our authority, OF COURSE we tried to murder him! What else were we supposed to do?"
Wtf?!! How is that even thought to be acceptable?! That's attempted MURDER and I hope that cop/thug goes to prison
City of Akron Police: "We have invested ourselves and have found no wrongdoing. We love for our officers to practice arts and crafts during the arrest." But seriously we have to end the police being able to investigate themselves and qualified immunity.
Good people always record the police
I use to do stuff like that with my sister when I was a kid, however that ended when we grew up. In this case the cops still think it's ok.
This is another example where an ENTIRE police department needs sacking and then thoroughly investigated on criminal charges. National guard MP's can provide policing during the time of recruiting and restoring a constitutional and by the law police department. Creating an alibi and obstruction of law are both "CRIMINAL" offences punishable by serious jail time
I 💯 agree with you!
You are fukin clueless about Guard MPs capability….come back from fantasyland, k?
@@cowboyx9380 Either way, when you come back down from Brokeback Mountain, shit police departments like this need need an enema to get them healthy again
@@AprilJMoon 1st of all you dumfukk….im not white…the first cowboys werent either…the “X” is for brother Malcom…and only an autistic fool like YOU can think you can fire a thousand cops without bankrupting the city with law suits…meanwhile, without cops the city burns to the ground….. maybe when a reeeetard like you comes back from fantasyland, you might see how ignorant you really are, and maybe shut it?
@@cowboyx9380 What has colour got to do with corruption. And more to the point, I didn't realise you were the brother of a respected civil rights advocate. Or are you trying to hang on to the glory of a great man while denigrating all others..... including those of colour that do not come up to your standards.... bogus as they are
Just imagine this for a moment, law enforcement has become such a shit show they're having a hard time recruiting decent people!. Wow couldn't see that coming.
The bottom line, We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.
Failed to comply?! So, that warrants that kind of response?! That could’ve killed that man!
I never knew smashing snow into someone's face was a part of police training
I guess SNOWING FORCE comes under Qualified Stupidity .
It’s disgusting how they protect them and let the criminals resign and then they go to another police force to continue with the same behaviour 🤬🤬
If this is how they behave when they know they are being recorded, just imagine what they do when no one is looking...
@@ianbattles7290 I totally agree. What do they do to people who don’t know their rights 🤔🤔
This is outrageous 🤬 I hope this poor man wins his Law suit ! 🤬
“Poor man?” Dudes a wife beater…why tf you think they were there in the first place?
These actions are to be expected when living in a police state. That's why this type of behavior is a common occurrence, rather than an exception.
Even with body cameras they do this.....imagine when there's no way to prove it.......
Why did the officer behave this way? Well that press conference by the cheif say's it all. Even after video evidence show's what his officer did. He approves of it. With the he didn't comply and resisted. 🤦
That's like saying the rape victim shouldn't have wore that outfit!
The thin yellow line of cowardice
The thin black line of thuggery

Thank goodness for body cams. It blows my mind what all was gotten away with before police departments began making them requirements.....
So, at the end of the news clip, they're creating a citizen oversight committee, but they are trying to fill the committee with former police and such. 🤔. That's not oversight. It's stacking the deck. Smh
What is going on with the police? They don’t seem to have any empathy for the people they are supposed to serve. I just hate when the tax payers foot the bill for wrong doing by police. I hope that’s not the case here. The cops should pay for the lawsuits if the courts rule in favor of the plaintiff.
All law enforcement knows is violence!
Not to be a jerk... But cops don't work for you, me, our neighbors nor are they there to serve. "US" they work for the "agency" that hired them and do as they're told.
A supreme court judge actually made that mindless ruling...
People think it's just cops being rotten, it's not, it's the corrupt politicians and legislators turn g people against people. DIVISION & HATE keeps the government IN CONTROL of you & I.
The dude was beatin on his wife, and you call him the victim? It certainly was inappropriate, the cop lost his job…thats fine. But, the wife beater shouldnt get a jackpot!
That chief is smoking some wild weed.
That police chief was both lying & full of BS. & That cop who resigned should have been charged with assault with actual bodily harm.
This would be attempted murder, or at least 1st degree assault, if anyone else did this to someone! Wtf is wrong with these PIGS?!🙄🤦♀️🤬🤬
I hope this gentleman gets fully compensated for this horrific arrest are these cops mental or what
Packing the nose and mouth repeatedly is attempted murder.
De-escalation training, don't beat the living crap out of people. It's illegal for you to beat the crap out of people. So don't beat the crap out of people anymore when there's cameras around. That'll fix it.
See the way they think God help us all
That entire department is the enemy.
PD statements are as perjurious as incident reports crafted by cops, then guilty cops are allowed to resign and assault (or worse) victims at another precinct
Exactly! Remember the last time a police officer was charged with perjury? Me neither!
End qualified immunity and make the payouts from these civil suits come out of the cops pension.
How much more of this must we deal with on a regular basis. After watching the video in its entirety, I never saw Hicks be anything other than compliant. Then we see a spokesperson for the police say that it was in fact due to Hicks not being compliant that snow was forced in his moth and nostrils making it harder to breathe. Citizens are getting very tired of this corrupt behavior and are realizing that they themselves are paying for the lawsuits. The officers sued think it is funny and think that they can use the words qualified immunity and that will keep them safe. Just keep thinking that. We are coming for that and to make all lawsuits that arise from your bad decisions come from your pockets. It may not happen in the next yr but all you keep doing is pissing off the wrong people. America is waking up to a new year and new times. To all of you pos police officers who are crooked and weak, we are coming for you. Take that blue line crap off of our flag. That lawsuit has already been filed. Watch your backs because there is ALWAYS someone bigger and badder than you.
It has been gong on for decades, and centuries, just now see it with cameras
You saw an edited version of the video, it went from hiks on the porch with hands out to snow face stuffing….thats not how it actually happened…js….regardless of the TRUTH that hiks started resisting..im pretty sure face-stufging with snow isnt a proper option. ButQI isnt an issue here so stop crying…the lawsuit went forward, QI was lifted….working as ontended.
@@cowboyx9380 I don't care what the reason is. Doing this to a person who is restrained is torture and that should be punished by death.
This video needs to go viral and everyone in the town of Akron needs to call the police chief, city Council, and the mayor and demand the federal marshals come in and do an investigation. This was nothing but sadistic brutality and I hope this man sues the hell out of Akron and wins a settlement
We don't want apologies. Apologies are empty gestures. We want justice. We want the officers to face not just the same, but more time than any other member of society would face, only because we need to hold these employees to a higher standard, for these employees of the State have the power of life and death.
@TC you mean every POTUS we've had since JFK and most before him.
They need to stop letting them investigate their own people and give somebody a decent job to do this
Omg what kind of person thinks to do something like this !!
Cops. If you view TH-cam you'll see more violent acts than this.
I saw a cop put a handcuffed woman in a patrol car parked on a train track and the train hit her.
People always wonder how in the world cops think they can get away with this stuff. Well, the answer is in the exhaustively few times....short of out and out murder (but only if captured on videotape!)....that any cop is ever prosecuted for these crimes.
This officer should be FIRED, ARRESTED and SUED
That was a horrible thing to do. This could have been anybody's son or brother. Heartbreaking.
A son or brother who has just committed domestic violence probably in someone’s daughter or mother.
I wish that man could do the same thing to the monster cop.
If anyone not wearing a badge did this to someone they would be thrown in jail.
Would they, though? Nice hyperbole. Kids do it to other kids all the time. Akin to a "face wash." I've honestly never heard of someone imprisoned for shoving snow in someone's face/mouth. Lots of born victims out there.
No kids don't. And if they do they aren't shoving the snow as roughly as the cop was. Also, unless you're an idiot (which I'm 99% sure you are) then you'd know shoving something in a person's mouth can restrict their breathing, even snow. As a person who lives in a places where it snows 8 months out of the year, not all snow if soft and quick to melt either.
@@codetsfacts2808 A bullying denier. Interesting. 🤦♂ ("No kids don't. And if they do..." Clearly knowledgeable on the subject. 🙄🤣 Do they? Don't they? 🤔 )
How anyone with a conscious could stand behind this action only proves that that person HAS NONE!!! They only have each other to protect and lie for themselves.
If I hadn’t seen it I would’ve never believed it
fire the IA team and file lawsuits personally against everyone.
So failure to comply meant he should be fed ice?
I'm sure that packing someone's airways with snow is in the training manual somewhere...
I understand wanting to do it. However, doing it makes you no different than the person who committed domestic violence. You chose to humiliate a man who couldn't fight back the same way he humiliated a partner/spouse who couldn't fight back.
Given that cops are leaders in committing, and covering up DV, their crimes here aren’t a surprise.
Wait they want ex law enforcement officers to be on the citizens oversight board? That has to be a joke
That is attempted murder putting something in his mouth and nose !!!!!
The cop version of water boarding, ironic that if soldiers did this on foreign soil they would be prosecuted, but domestic cops just get a civil suit that they don't even have to pay.
Unbelievable!!!
This is a totally justified lawsuit and this officer should be charged for attempted murder!
Thank god he survived this attack and lived to tell his story and get justice.
