You should cover the story of the young 18 year old boy who worked at a store, he looked up and was waiting for his father to pick him up. The police saw him standing there and went up to him demanding ID, the boy said you have no lawful reason to ask for my ID, basically the cop threw him to the ground and held his head down, then lied to the other cops when they got there saying he got in his face, which never happened. There is video. What is the obsession with ID? Cops need to be trained better.
I generally lean more towards the support of law enforcement on most situations, but am not afraid to point out when they do wrong. this is a good example of that kind of situation I appreciate your hard work in making these videos and being both informative and neutral to the situation. I’ve yet to disagree with you on any of your prior videos I’ve seen. Thank you for the amazing content and I hope to see more
I love how the cops constantly speak for the manager (“he doesn’t want to come out”, “he said you were causing trouble”) but then the nice lady brings him out and contradicts them completely
The only training cops get is how to lie, how to cover and justify their actions, and how to lie. I’m of a mind that lying is so deeply ingrained in cops that they’re almost all sociopathic liars and as such, NOTHING they say should be taken as fact, nor accepted as evidence without irrefutable physical evidence to corroborate.
This is 100% the fault of the FIRE DEPARTMENT! Fire Departments all across the country hire only the CREAM OF THE CROP of recruits and the police and sheriffs departments end up having to hire these way less desirable lower IQ people the fire department doesn’t want.
@@jamielancaster01 I know you're kidding, but there is probably a significant amount of truth to that statement. If it was a prerequisite to be a firefighter, you had to serve a year as a cop first, I would bet money they would be the best cops in the country for that single year.
Uh, more like "water off a duck's back"...No apology, no badge/name provided - these cops all think they did a GREAT job of falsely accusing, detaining, threatening some black youths....I bet over coffee later, they all said, "Those punks won't fck with us no more future"...
Those officers probably don't really care about not getting the real suspects. There have been quite a few officers who falsely arrested someone for homicide, when they knew that the real suspect was still at large. If these officers cared about anything, it would be possibly facing a reprimand and their own egos being damaged.
Love how after the manager confirms that the boys aren’t the ones who caused the disturbance the cop still asks if he can trespass them 😂 he’s like come on bro please let me arrest these kids, they didn’t lick my boots
That part in particular was really bad, even if you overlook everything else the cops did wrong up to that point. As soon as the manager told them, "You have the wrong people; there's no problem with them," it was time for the cops to immediately apologize and make things right. Instead they took a moment to seek out any further excuse to keep depriving a group of innocent guys of their freedom. Just pure scum. I don't doubt for a second these cops have a long list of unlawful detentions, arrests, and uses of force against the public. They clearly don't know the law, or don't care about it, and are more interested in throwing their weight around than keeping the peace or serving the public.
Definitely tried real hard to get a win out of this, doesn't matter who he arrests, just as long as it counts as a positive for his part in the department.
I still think it's F-ed up that Officer Mustache never gave his name and badge number. Clearly he heard the teens and the bystander ask for it at least twice. However, he ignored every request. That's a blatant violation of police code.
Bystander woman gets an A++, for recognizing that the lazy police work was going to lead to an injustice, and getting involved. Then proceeding actually investigate, and bring a peaceful resolution.
Thank you so much for your actions you may have saved one of these young men's life or all..When we get upset over abuse or misuse of power Good people outweighs the evil ones.
Lazy WAS NOT the reason they harassed AND blamed those kids...prejudged and lied is more like it. According to Audit the Audit, they have A PATTERN of corruption in the Elkhart PD.
Exactly why as a bystander you should film every police interaction you come across. Please act differently most of the time when they know they are being filmed by a third party.
The fact that one of the officers, EVEN AFTER BEING TOLD IT WAS NOT THEM, asked the manager if he wanted them trespassed says a lot about them. They wanted to hem these teens up regardless.
They wanted to punish the kids for not acquiescing to their power immediately. As soon as those officers were denied anything, they had a single track mind to get these kids on something.
Imagine how badly those poor kids lives could have been screwed up, simply because the cops refused to get the one person who could clear them on sight. Major respect to the lady who did what needed to be done.
@@70baja A trespass warning doesn't involve being detained and unable to leave. Nor does it involve being handcuffed and sat on the ground. I'm honestly not sure if criminal trespassing is a felony, but any arrest on their records severely affects their ability to get into a good college, should they choose to go to college. A trespass warning means you are told to leave, which they were not, and then you leave. Refusal to leave, or coming back, is criminal trespassing.
Imagine how many lives have been screwed up in this country because there wasn't somebody there to help when the tyrannical Stormtroopers are doing what they do best. Thank God for the bystanders at this point because those kids would have been beat and put in jail and have criminal records for the rest of their life.
@@coltwest6858 I'm not sure that's correct. In some states, a trespass warning requires some sort of paper trail requiring the person being trespassed to, at least, provide identification and they are typically detained until they can be identified so the warning can be properly served. I just did a smidge of internet research but did not find anything on point concerning Indiana law. Fortunately, you seem to be pretty sure about what you're saying. Do you have a cite to a law or case on point concerning whether a person being trespassed is lawfully detained in Indiana? ETA: btw, you may be incorrect in your assertion that one must be asked to leave before being formally trespassed. Indiana law seems to allow the issuing of a trespassing warning to one who hasn't even entered the property.
Cameras up, I'm conducting a legal investigation too! Writing an article about tyranny. What was your name and badge number? Wanna make sure I get the details correct, schweinhund. You have the duty to uphold the constitution above all things. Everything you say can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion. You also have the right to fcuk off, if you choose to waive this right you will be held accountable for your actions publicly or privately, dealer's choice on that one! Do you understand these imperatives, officer?
The more sickening part is that probably over half the population of the US would be okay with this violation of someone's rights because it happened to a race they don't like.
Did more policing than the actual cops. Someone give her a badge. Also, she’s probably capable of growing a better mustache than officer Doofy out there.
Yep. Cops rolled up and detained the first group of black kids they saw and refused to listen to any exculpatory evidence that they weren't the ones the cops were called for
I have learned two things from watching a ton of these videos. 1. The police are never wrong, just ask them. 2. The police can justify any action with the magic phrase “We got a call.” You might not be the person we are looking for, this might not even be the right place, the caller might even be wrong or out to get you, but we can do whatever we want because we got a call.
Immediately after being told "it was not them" by the witness, the cop attempts to create a trespass. I have seen so many videos with this exact mentality. Police show up, engage someone that does not cooperate, and attempt to create a crime to arrest them for.
@@poopyanalbumhole This video and I assume all the others on their channel have the original unedited video linked in the description, so you can watch that instead to avoid wasting time scrubbing through Audit The Audit's video. You're welcome no worries :)
@@vSilverXXProduction If they're on a laptop it's only two clicks and they'd have a new tab of the unedited original video, and when they're done with that they could come back to the previous tab and click through to find the grades, that way avoiding having to wait through all the talk or having to skip numerous times through the talk. Though I admit that does take longer than doing absolutely nothing about the issue at hand.
Those three young men deserve nothing but the utmost respect for their behavior through this. You are future leaders gentlemen. You are all wise for your years. ❤
@@thebalderthor4884 When the police arrived they suggested to the lads that they shouldn't be there. So they replied they would leave, the opposite of loitering.
@@thebalderthor4884 You don’t know the origins of the loitering laws. It was put in place to harass newly freed black people……. And they’re still using it as an excuse to harass innocent black people. That is outrageous that a free innocent person cannot just hangout on a sidewalk or in a public area that he paid for with his tax dollars 💸 in the “freest kkkountry” on earth
Notice how the cop lied and said the manager didn't want to come outside or want them inside to identify them and then the lady that went inside and got him he actually did come outside and said those boys were not the ones? Yet another lie the cops told.
@@rispatha That was my flag the officer's weren't really investigating, detaining 3 people without asking the witness to literally take 1 minute to identify. Officers were just pissed they refused an unlawful order, officer asking manager to trespass them can be considered retaliation (teens were only there because officers refused to let them leave).
@@1SCme ... That is a huge problem I see these days. The cops rarely if ever talk to the person who called them first and then act upon what was said before going off half cocked on a fishing trip.
@@marcr3307 The 3 teens didn't do anything illegal, were calm in the face of the police illegally extending a detention and repeatedly making an illegal command to identify, and provided a route to resolution that literally too about 1 minute (ask the manager to identify) - the teens knew how to do an investigation better than the officers. "Stand up citizens" don't abuse their authority and break the law like the officers did, the teens were more than stand up in the face of the illegal abuses they were subjected to.
@@marcr3307 You tip your cards *I've found your exposed nerve,* and you have no response of substance, by falling back on empty claims. Nope, *your belief you should sacrifice your personal rights when law enforcement decides to abuses their authority is irrational.* Reference 12:00 dept's history of abuse.
Hats off to the woman who was there and actually went and got the manager to come out. So thankful this was resolved without those boys getting falsely arrested. And hats off to the boys for keeping their calm and remaining respectful.
And hats off to the other older gentleman there who kept filming while the woman went in to retrieve the manager. For sht sakes. The whole police thinking didn't seem to make sense at all. Well these are black boys and they are in front of the building. What if there had been three 70 year old black boys in front of the building? Or three 9 yr olds ...🤦🏻♀️
@@ClarityDetermination that's rt. In the mixed-up crazy world of American policing, 70-year old African-American men are "boys" while nine-year olds are "teens".!
Black children get charged as adults way more often, so being 9 wouldn’t even help. I’m so sorry to took body cams for the rest of us to start understanding the tip of the iceberg that’s been crushing our fellow Americans for generations.
“These are not them” “Would you like us to trespass them” Officers didn’t investigate, and trying to get trespass on the kids anyways despite being wrong.
Aside from being illegal to solicit charges, and likely retaliatory, the teens offered to leave but were detained making the charges bogus. These cops don't really know their job (they're doing a crap job knowing they are being videotaped), but they are experts at digging themselves into a hole.
One of the most annoying things about Cops are they continue to verbally escalate the situation instead of shutting up and walking away. It reminds me of my big brother as a teen who was just a total asshole...
"Shutting up and walking away" is the literal opposite of policing, or more broadly, police duties. De-escalation tactics and actually proper investigation of the incident is what they should do. I suppose you are a reasonably intelligent human being? Then you should know that your hyperbolic demand to shut up and go simply is not the way to investigate a possible crime.
@@anteshell after confirming that the boys were not who they were there for, effectively "shutting up and walking away" would de escalate the situation.
"Go ask the manager ..." "He's too busy..." Turns out that was a lie, the officer was just too lazy. He'd rather jam up some kids, potentially giving innocent people a permanent record, than take 45 seconds to do the primary part of his job. What are the names of these officers?
They need to give that lady a job with the police department. She seems to be the only one who knows how to de-escalate the situation and get the manager to come out and clear it up.
@@SNNetwork The owner of the hotel even said they weren't so so which reason do you have to believe that that they are black or that they are kids or maybe both?
That should have been highlighted, first thing he said after finding out that these were law abiding citizens was do you want them trespassed anyway? Because then we will unlawfully get their names because we have no intention on allowing them to leave as the law dictates.
@@ZeldagigafanMatthew Yeah honestly, if I was told that after telling police they are going after the wrong guys, I'd be asking for badge numbers. You wanna trespass my legit customers after harassing them while doing zero investigation? That officer was trying to get the guy to ruin his own business because he was that pissed his own incompetence was showing.
The looks on their face when they have to remove cuffs is priceless. Isn’t it ironic they didn’t want to bring out the manager to verify. They knew the situation. They were butt hurt about the id refusal. 100% retaliatory.
EXTRA LARGE KICK TO THE HEAD IS NEEDED, FOLLOWED BY BLEECH WATER BORDING, THEN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT UNTILL DEATH, AND OR DEATH PENALTY REQUIRED…. THAT CITY IS CORRUPT, JUST LIKE THE REST OF AMERICA.
Can’t get over the fact that he said “well can we trespass them” after they were confirmed it wasn’t them. Like the cops literally held them there when they said they’d leave. Fucking ludicrous.
@@northernstar6641 They weren’t ready for compassionate citizens and educated kids who they can’t get away with harassing anymore. This video made me sad but it also brought some hope. The people in this video were inspiring, we just need the cops to join the club
@@willster2967 everyone who knows these basic laws need to help other people they see being harassed by law enforcement.. not everyone knows their rights and we need to protect them
Sad to see this kind of MISCONDUCT happening. Glad to see the bystanders stuck around to make sure things didn't go from bad to worse. Come on America, let's get it together....FAST
Fighting a common enemy makes for great friends! Pitiful that police are the enemy to unite people, seems like we have plenty of other stuff we could do besides fight our neighbors.
@@waynefeller8824 True. Many encounters shown on AtA that I've seen verify this. It would be interesting to see an encounter where they *do* have to (and if they actually do or not).
It's sad when a bystander has to intervene and do the investigating for the police. It wouldn't surprise me if the police were to arrest her for interfering in their non-investigation.
@@hostility3404 I wish people would stop with the racist cop BS. The color that most offends cops and gets them to act tyrannical is non-blue. If you don't wear a police uniform you are the enemy. Every example you can show where the police are abusing a black guy, we can go find a similar video where they're abusing a white man, white woman, Asian dude, etc.. Just as the old joke goes they are equal opportunity offenders.
Crazy how a police officer who legal has to identify himself does not get punished when asked, but a teenager who legally does not have to identify himself is handcuffed and threatened with jail time if he does not comply
@TH-cam Deleted my Other Account for Mean Comments that's not how having your rights infringed upon works. Knowing your rights doesn't prevent the actions of ego driven cops.
It’s nit that they’re morons who don5 know the law. It’s that this is the example their supervisors and more experienced cops have set for them…it’s what they’re used to…it has not been a thing for very long to have so many people asking for badge numbers (although I think the badge number thing gets a bit blown out if importance and gets used more as a dick measuring contest or intended as a sign of defiance in most cases) and there haven’t been people demanding a supervisor (which should always be remembered is not a legal right, but just a policy in some jurisdictions) or people insisting on not identifying themselves unless legally required to. A lot of cops are still very much not used to the “auditor attitude” they get from some people these days. And outside of frequent TH-cam viewers, the general public isn’t aware of it either. There’s a who,e bunch if cops who have been used to doing things one way and never getting bucked on it, not because they were trained to do it that way during the how to be a tyrant portion of their training… just because that’s the way it’s always been done. People didn’t used to see it as any kind of a problem to show a cop their ID. And it’s been policy in most places that they get everyone’s ID on any interaction. Just for reports and documentation. And still most people who squawk about cops asking for ID don’t really have any idea why it’s an issue. But it’s how cops were “raised” and developed in the cop business and it was never a big deal before but now asking what somebody’s name is often gets them cussed at and called a tyrant and all kinds of hateful shit being wished upon them. Get it. I’m not a huge fan of most cops and I’m totally against the overstepping and misguided lost direction of policing in America which is so lacking in accountability I’m not sure anyone even knows the term anymore but I believe it’s based in the degradation of agencies caused by failed command staff which are controlled by politicians more concerned with their own advancement and finances than the good of the agency, so it can protect and serve the best interest of community and find it politically expedient to focus on the wrong things, collecting revenue and gaining power while pushing social justice within the agency rather than pursuing actual justice for their constituents. There’s a lot to be fixed in policing but everyone sitting around bitching and badmouthing all cops for all things and going out of their way to find something to bitch about and to constantly demonize cops just to be divisive and make matters worse isn’t going to help. People need to realize that they are at fault in this as well. It’s our duty as citizens to be involved and to be educated voters, especially in local elections. So when people are bitching about cops and how they never get prosecuted for anything and this, that, n the other…while they’ve had the same mayor.,,.same city council…same district attorney in office forever…they’ve brought those problems on themselves n need to shut up and fix it.
Don't expect them to know as good as a lawyer but in the profession they do they should. If they don't know the laws then what exactly are they upholding?
@@mutary26 They obviously know the basic and most laws that are common across most cities/states/country but they certainly don't know them in details. A good example is obstruction of an officer. This one is often misused and abused.
You can’t really generalize nearly a million officers. The quality of a city and states local government is reflected in its police. Cops are great in my town
EDIT: That lady is an MVP! I honestly appreciate your channel. If you're open to suggestions another great panel you could add is if the cops faced and penalties/have been charged/accused of misconduct before. It'd really help put some of these cops intentions into perspective 😊
This is why there’s a distrust with some cops. The young men kept asking them to get the manager but they blatantly refused to. Then were extremely arrogant by refusing to identify themselves.
I’m surprised that the officers ignoring the request for their name and badge number wasn’t noted in this audit. The officer with the hat even had that look on his face like he’s playing dumb and didn’t hear it. He was quick to handcuff someone for not providing their name but he turns around and does the same.
@Babes & Board Games To be fair they do admit that in the disclaimer at the beginning of these videos. I just find it entertaining. They also advertise the original posters which helps them gain publicity for their cases. Something I think can be helpful as a lot of these channels only have a couple thousand subscribers while the one advertising them has 1.1 Million subscribers
@Babes & Board Games The channel's very name is Audit the Audit. He's literally telling you the very thing you're saying. He is auditing other audits. Can you even read? hurr durr.
I love this channel and have learned so much from the information from these videos, they have encouraged me to review and know my county and states laws and statutes. Arm yourself with knowledge. Thank you Audit the Audit team.
"can you go ask the manager to confirm it wasn't us?" idiot cop: "he doesn't want to come out. he's busy" [a minute later manage comes out on his own free will] "it wasn't these boys" top notch police work, fellas
@@thelastdracolich1237 they know they took to long to get the real offender, its easier to hem up innocent unsuspecting victims then to go after actual criminals
@@thelastdracolich1237 they keep hiring more and more cops and they are oversaturating many areas.. Cops have to justify their payment, if they can't find criminals they start making them... Super flawed system
They weren’t that bad, more lazy, and profile the black gentlemen. I give them a B-. No violence and eventual compliance with law is good. If they said sorry they’d get an A. Everyone makes mistakes. Peace and love
@@Themusicbiz they didn’t do their jobs or know the laws. “Weren’t that bad?” They put the guy in cuffs even tho everyone said it’s not them. They get an F-
@@Themusicbiz The cops clearly have a prejudice against those teenagers. They couldn't even dictate any situations prior to the investigation properly. F-
Wow everyone BUT the cops handled that situation so well. Those kids were properly brought up and know their rights! Amazing! And bless the 2 bystander sticking up for the teens.
They temporarily detained the teens but there is no explanation why they wouldn’t get the manager to verify if these were the teens involved. Also important, notice the retaliation when the manager exonerated the teens, the officer attempts to solicit a trespass asking if the manager wants these innocent teens removed anyway.
And then the lawyer tells them to take an Alford plea, telling them it will make everything go away. But not telling them it's just a guilty plea. I hate the system.
They didn’t get the manager to verify because they didn’t want to. They wanted to assert their authority over those kids and make an arrest vs trying to figure out what was actually going on. The one cop asking “do yo want me to trespass them” after finding out it wasn’t them is evidence of that. In a situation where there was no crime and the criminals were long gone, he wanted to create a crime and then solve it
I've noticed that in situations like these, none of the officers ever apologize for getting it wrong. Like shoot, also going inside and getting the guy who "pointed" would of cleared that up long before any escalation was made
I also think the humanity in many cops would be brought back if these cops at least apologized. Everyone knows they're not perfect, but they want to act like they are. Remember the case of the gentleman who was handcuffed and brought outside of his own house in his underwear because the cops wouldn't listen that it was a false (security) alarm? Once the supervisor came and told them they were wrong they just milled out of the house without another word. I think the issue is the cops think if you don't immediately follow thier commands then you're being difficult and therefore they don't have to apologize.
Apologize 😂🤣😂 to a black man???? get real, White Cops have so much hate for blacks until they can't even do their jobs right 😅 Everytime there's a situation wit a black person notice how much the Laws changes just listen to the BS Cops be saying and when another black person do the SAME thing, it's a whole different story 😂🤣 they make sh*t up as they see it, so they can use their home made laws
Even if the Officers were agents of the Property, the bystander asked, "Have they been asked to leave?" Cop, "We're asking them to leave." Bystander, "So are they free to leave?" Cop, "no." Lol
After watching a ton of these videos over the years, it is absolutely staggering how many police officers either don't know the law or willfully disregard the law.
Exactly and the departments continue to have morons remain working… 😵💫😒💀 Wtf????! And yeah, racists are in that category above. Who wants inefficient workers??? Who??? Makes no sense!!!
Imagine the impact an arrest can have on anyone's life. Lose a job. Stuck in jail till court date. Possible wrongful conviction and a criminal record. Thank God for everyone involved that helped these kids.
The bystanders and the lady, in particular, should get an A+ as well for stepping in when they saw those kids being mistreated. Although none of them went to jail, I'm sure this will still affect them in some way. Unfair interactions with police traumatizes people frfr.
I would go further - without the bystanders, the treatment of the 3 would have likely been worse - reference departments history of abuses at end of video, 8:35 officer request the manager trespass them when the only reason the 3 were still there was because they were detained id likely illegal and retaliatory.
It's interactions like this that cause mistrust police. Those kids will by far less likely to call police for help, or give them any aid if needed in the future. More than likely they will be more inclined to run from police instead to preserve their freedom. It's all so counterproductive, and unfortunately the status quo these days.
I’ve said this before, this needs to be a tv show. Not everyone is seeing these videos. Interactions between the police and the public would improve if dirty laundry was made public on a routine basis in a respectable, unwashed, but transparent way. If you’re just a regular person, you would better understand your rights. If you’re a law enforcement officer, you would stop and think about your actions and then get better educated on policing or stop being an officer. In my work, I never stop learning, I imagine its the same with law enforcement. You wouldn’t want to be the officer who acted like a jackass and now everyone is talking about you. I don’t hate police officers, but I think a lot forget that they serve the public and maybe forget to treat everyone with equal amounts of respect.
I think the training issue is they're taught to control the public instead of respect us. I don't live in Indiana, but I don't think these issues would be as prevalent nationally if officers were held accountable for this kind of behavior. So often we find out months to years later about these incidents only after a suit has been filed against the department and city. Not only that, some jurisdictions still try to threaten bystanders with obstruction of justice for intervening. I have a hard time believing that if only the black man was present this wouldn't have escalated even further. Considering the ProPublica report, Elkhart officers seem to enjoy ignoring the Constitution. I don't hate them either, but I sure am tired of their BS and long for real accountability.
@@aomar9449 they would try but it’s fair and unbiased I don’t think they would have a leg to stand on. Except maybe to say.. well they didn’t film the situation from the beginning.
@@aomar9449 Indeed! The police union is the only remaining empowered union in the country. It is also the only union that represents a band of criminals.
Kids: “Can you have him come out here to prove it wasn’t us?” Cops: “he doesn’t want to come out here, he said it’s you” Hotel manager comes out after hero mom does the policeman’s jobs for them. Hotel manager: “these aren’t the same kids” Police: “🤡🤡”
This is exactly why cops should not be legally able to lie. If we lie, we get charged. Cops lie to bring arrests and charges. Not a good idea in our quota system of cop evaluations.
That was the flag to me the officers were lying and more concerned with forcing compliance with an illegal order than investigating the incident. It should have been a flag to the officers they were detaining the wrong suspects.
There are two important points here. First, it is critical that bystanders must stand up when they witness injustice. Second, so many of these incidents could have been avoided if they listened.
Maybe we could say to all cops after such dispicable policing...Your ego would not hurt now if you had JUST COOPERATED. Stop resisting!...Relax! And just do the right thing you egotistical, badge heavy clowns.
@@j.lx2548 I don't think that they would get it. I just came back from the store. While shopping, I kept thinking about my response to you. It reminded me of another video I saw. A white man was arrested for refusing to show his ID while he was in a Walmart. He tried to explain to the cops the state law. They refused to listen. They roughed him up a little bit. This was all done in front of his 3 year old. After marching him through the Walmart in handcuffs, a supervisor told them to let him go. In the subsequent IA interview, the arresting officer was first asked if he now understood the state's ID rules. He got it wrong. The interviewer explained the rule to him. He got it wrong again when he was asked to explain the rule. Then, after all of this, he was asked whether he would do things differently now that he understands the rule. He said no he wouldn't. No amount of training is going to stop these people from doing what they want to do.
It’s honestly so good that the bystanders were there bc a lot of times cops will see a group of young kids and assume they don’t know their rights and will push their authority because they feel they can get away with it, they would have undoubtably taken the kid in cuffs away I feel like if they weren’t there
@@anthonyburnett1002 that not weird yes in some cases it could be but I think she was just looking out for the boys cuz she probably knew that night those cops or other cops will "talk" to those boys again
There’s something about the mix of authority with pride that just won’t ever let cops admit to being wrong, and instead of doing so they escalate what would otherwise be simple altercations that can be fixed with a few basic questions
It's the consequence of a lack in upbringing. I was taught a man true to himself will admit AND rectify his wrongs. To admit it, isn't enough because you didn't learn anything. You only recognized it. They don't teach that at the academy. It comes from home; from upbringing, or lack thereof. To imagine 'saving face' is only a cop flaw, is in itself justification for it to continue the way it does elsewhere, to reflect upon those that are in charge of leading these 'officers'.
@@theycallme4799 I do agree with you, but on a systemic level the solution is to focus on cops and other people in positions of power, rather than try and eradicate bad parenting and hope the next generation is better. So focusing on cops and not talking about others is ok for me.
absolutely hilarious how even after the manager came out the cop still asked if the manager wanted to trespass the dudes. just goes to show police dont actually care about the truth, just about getting charges and arrests
A reason to get their information n once they leave they call in a description of the vehicle on a bullshit call n they arrested for somethin made up I’ve seen it happen
More and more, I think that the cops just make it up as they go along. My theory is that, in the recruitment process, they are probably given training and are helped and encourage to learn and perform well. Then, the Police Department employs the ones who fail the most badly.
@@simonmultiverse6349 I studied Criminal Justice in college and can verify that in nearly all situations, how situations are handled is *at the cops discretion*
As a person who used to work in law enforcement I've seen first hand hand how black teens are never giving the benefit of the doubt even when there's someone that vouches for them including another black officer who was at the scene and witnessed the altercation one of the main reasons I refuse to work in law enforcement any longer.
This is what people mean when they say all cops are bastards. Even the people who are good and upstanding (like yourself) get pushed out of these institutions. Thank you for standing up for what's right, and the moment you gave up that badge you _did_ become a good cop.
Yeah I did nor notice the porn stache rill rhe end like honestly what level of lack of self-awareness does one have to have to not realize that you're the living embodiment of a stereotype of yourself
The typical “cop” stereotype mustache. Letting that sink in… that just shows he wants to be a cop for the sake of just being a good ole boy cop & to sooth his little man syndrome - rather than wanting to be a cop to help innocent people and society. It’s honestly so embarrassing.
@@TransoceanicOutreach This is unconscionable behavior by the constabulary. Police should be ashamed of themselves attempting to criminalize these teenagers to get their brownie points. Meanwhile, rapists, child molesters, robbers, murderers, vandals, and thieves of all manner ravage the city.
Honestly I don’t understand it? Do they not receive any training on the law!? Are they told to just go out there and start arresting anyone them deem suspicious??
I am so thankful that there were competent adults around that decided to step up and protect these young men. I applaud everyone one of them and I hope that I have the opportunity to do the same for someone else.
That lady deserves an award, she did a better investigation than those cops, if she hadn't gone and got the manager they would have taken those kids to jail. Kudos to her and the other citizen for doing the right thing.
That solicitation of trespass by the cop AFTER being told those were not the boys is a felony violation of 18 USC Subsection 241….conspiracy to violate civil liberties under color of law. If I was watching that occur, I would have placed that officer under citizen’s arrest. Any of the other cops who refused to complete that arrest would also have been charged under the same statute.
@@joeblow8066 I used to think the claims of prejudice were exaggerated, but the videos have definitely altered my view. I've never been detained for anything other than a traffic violation, but if I had been subjected to this harassment for decades I would likely have something more on my record - notice the officer went fishing for a trespass violation from the manager.
I agree, reference 12:00 the department's history. I used to think complaints of minority harassment by police were exaggerated, but not after the widespread release of videos from stops. I have never been detained for anything more than traffic violations, but would likely have something more on my record if I was subjected to these abuses.
I’m so glad for the bystanders. They acted as surrogate parents for these teens. Who knows what would have happened if they weren’t there. God protect and watch over these young men 🙏🏼
No matter how many of these "trespass" videos I watch, I am shocked by how little the police seem to know about trespass law and procedure. High praise to the other citizens on the scene that helped out the young citizens.
I LOVE when ppl stand up and step in to help with situations that need it!!! HIGH five to that mama bear for watching out for the kids and the guy filming! The thumbs up at the badge number request cracked me up lmao
If the bystanders weren't there, this would've turned for the worst. Thank you to all who assisted to help the young men! May the blessings be returned to you!
It would unfortunately be very hard to win that case in court. Unless there is video proving that it was a lie that the manager pointed, you aren't going to be able to prove that it was an intentional violation of rights vs a miscommunication. If the cops can argue they believed that the manager had pointed out these kids then they win in a he-said-she-said.
@@lb34mwr it's all hearsay because the video starts later, but the officers claimed that the manager pointed towards these kids implying they did make contact with him before this encounter. If that's a lie that was caught on video the young men would have a case, but if the lie wasn't caught on video or if the video does show them meeting with the manager/him pointing I can't see any way a lawsuit succeeds in this case.

You should cover the story of the young 18 year old boy who worked at a store, he looked up and was waiting for his father to pick him up. The police saw him standing there and went up to him demanding ID, the boy said you have no lawful reason to ask for my ID, basically the cop threw him to the ground and held his head down, then lied to the other cops when they got there saying he got in his face, which never happened. There is video. What is the obsession with ID? Cops need to be trained better.
Glad those youth had moral citizens around...
I generally lean more towards the support of law enforcement on most situations, but am not afraid to point out when they do wrong. this is a good example of that kind of situation I appreciate your hard work in making these videos and being both informative and neutral to the situation. I’ve yet to disagree with you on any of your prior videos I’ve seen. Thank you for the amazing content and I hope to see more

And the cops lied about the office manager said he needs the boys off the p
I loved that
I love how the cops constantly speak for the manager (“he doesn’t want to come out”, “he said you were causing trouble”) but then the nice lady brings him out and contradicts them completely
The only training cops get is how to lie, how to cover and justify their actions, and how to lie.
I’m of a mind that lying is so deeply ingrained in cops that they’re almost all sociopathic liars and as such, NOTHING they say should be taken as fact, nor accepted as evidence without irrefutable physical evidence to corroborate.
This is 100% the fault of the FIRE DEPARTMENT! Fire Departments all across the country hire only the CREAM OF THE CROP of recruits and the police and sheriffs departments end up having to hire these way less desirable lower IQ people the fire department doesn’t want.
@@jamielancaster01 I know you're kidding, but there is probably a significant amount of truth to that statement. If it was a prerequisite to be a firefighter, you had to serve a year as a cop first, I would bet money they would be the best cops in the country for that single year.

The Lady did more policing than the 2 cops...
The kid at 9:05 said it perfectly
"It wasn't that hard to have him come out here and clear that up."
Then he goes out to call it how it is. He tells the cops they're not doing their job right and they're not
Replace the word police with the word sh_t and you will have your answer.
It is because he didn't want to clear it up. He wanted to handcuff them and find them at fault.
Manager: “These are not the boys”
Cop: “Okay but do you still want to trespass them?”
…..
I love how the hotel owner even said "yea the real trouble makers are probably already gone."
Really rubbin' that salt in the wound.
Uh, more like "water off a duck's back"...No apology, no badge/name provided - these cops all think they did a GREAT job of falsely accusing, detaining, threatening some black youths....I bet over coffee later, they all said, "Those punks won't fck with us no more future"...
Those officers probably don't really care about not getting the real suspects. There have been quite a few officers who falsely arrested someone for homicide, when they knew that the real suspect was still at large. If these officers cared about anything, it would be possibly facing a reprimand and their own egos being damaged.
The troublemakers were standing right in front of him with guns and badges.
Exactly - by detaining the wrong people, *these idiot cops allowed the ACTUAL suspects to escape.*
Lmao right “maybe if y’all showed up when I actually called” 😂😂
Love how after the manager confirms that the boys aren’t the ones who caused the disturbance the cop still asks if he can trespass them 😂 he’s like come on bro please let me arrest these kids, they didn’t lick my boots
Technically they aren't allowed to solicit a trespass, so they even did that part wrong. F across the board here.
*come on bro
@@janegreen6047 cheers
That part in particular was really bad, even if you overlook everything else the cops did wrong up to that point.
As soon as the manager told them, "You have the wrong people; there's no problem with them," it was time for the cops to immediately apologize and make things right. Instead they took a moment to seek out any further excuse to keep depriving a group of innocent guys of their freedom.
Just pure scum. I don't doubt for a second these cops have a long list of unlawful detentions, arrests, and uses of force against the public. They clearly don't know the law, or don't care about it, and are more interested in throwing their weight around than keeping the peace or serving the public.
Definitely tried real hard to get a win out of this, doesn't matter who he arrests, just as long as it counts as a positive for his part in the department.
The cop ignoring to say his name and badge number is already a red flag. He knew he screwed up
you can it in his eyes, he was scared to answer
Skillfully dodged the slimy worm.

I still think it's F-ed up that Officer Mustache never gave his name and badge number. Clearly he heard the teens and the bystander ask for it at least twice. However, he ignored every request. That's a blatant violation of police code.
Officer refusing to identify should be treated as a suspect doing the same. As pirates say... "Arr! To the brig with this one!"

Please act differently most of the time when they know they are being filmed by a third party.
She's a mom for sure
The fact that one of the officers, EVEN AFTER BEING TOLD IT WAS NOT THEM, asked the manager if he wanted them trespassed says a lot about them. They wanted to hem these teens up regardless.
Good point!
they are looking for a reason
Or they wanted to be right, and in control, and ordering people around. That was embarrassing. It should have been an immediate apology.
They wanted to punish the kids for not acquiescing to their power immediately. As soon as those officers were denied anything, they had a single track mind to get these kids on something.
They didnt want to look liked they fucked up is what im seeing
I like how literally everyone EXCEPT the officers in this case were helpful and knowledgeable
That happens because they never passed 4th grade
That’s because he wanted the sexual high he gets from obtaining ID.

Imagine how badly those poor kids lives could have been screwed up, simply because the cops refused to get the one person who could clear them on sight. Major respect to the lady who did what needed to be done.
Yes...watch a documentary about the "Central Park 5."
How would a trespass warning screw their lives up?
@@70baja A trespass warning doesn't involve being detained and unable to leave. Nor does it involve being handcuffed and sat on the ground. I'm honestly not sure if criminal trespassing is a felony, but any arrest on their records severely affects their ability to get into a good college, should they choose to go to college.
A trespass warning means you are told to leave, which they were not, and then you leave. Refusal to leave, or coming back, is criminal trespassing.
Imagine how many lives have been screwed up in this country because there wasn't somebody there to help when the tyrannical Stormtroopers are doing what they do best. Thank God for the bystanders at this point because those kids would have been beat and put in jail and have criminal records for the rest of their life.
@@coltwest6858 I'm not sure that's correct. In some states, a trespass warning requires some sort of paper trail requiring the person being trespassed to, at least, provide identification and they are typically detained until they can be identified so the warning can be properly served. I just did a smidge of internet research but did not find anything on point concerning Indiana law. Fortunately, you seem to be pretty sure about what you're saying. Do you have a cite to a law or case on point concerning whether a person being trespassed is lawfully detained in Indiana?
ETA: btw, you may be incorrect in your assertion that one must be asked to leave before being formally trespassed. Indiana law seems to allow the issuing of a trespassing warning to one who hasn't even entered the property.
Funny how the officer is asked multiple times for his name and badge number, he develops sudden onset highly specific temporary hearing loss.
😂 I know, right... he was doing his best to protect himself after screwing up
Why do they not have their number on their sleeve?
It's the same thing that happens when you ask a dog what they've got in their mouth.

I have learned two things from watching a ton of these videos. 1. The police are never wrong, just ask them. 2. The police can justify any action with the magic phrase “We got a call.” You might not be the person we are looking for, this might not even be the right place, the caller might even be wrong or out to get you, but we can do whatever we want because we got a call.
Immediately after being told "it was not them" by the witness, the cop attempts to create a trespass. I have seen so many videos with this exact mentality. Police show up, engage someone that does not cooperate, and attempt to create a crime to arrest them for.
And it is unlawful to illicit a trespass.
Many do by using the disorderly conduct charge. Just looking at them is enough to get arrested under that.

A lot of cops are still very much not used to the “auditor attitude” they get from some people these days. And outside of frequent TH-cam viewers, the general public isn’t aware of it either. There’s a who,e bunch if cops who have been used to doing things one way and never getting bucked on it, not because they were trained to do it that way during the how to be a tyrant portion of their training… just because that’s the way it’s always been done. People didn’t used to see it as any kind of a problem to show a cop their ID. And it’s been policy in most places that they get everyone’s ID on any interaction. Just for reports and documentation. And still most people who squawk about cops asking for ID don’t really have any idea why it’s an issue. But it’s how cops were “raised” and developed in the cop business and it was never a big deal before but now asking what somebody’s name is often gets them cussed at and called a tyrant and all kinds of hateful shit being wished upon them. Get it. I’m not a huge fan of most cops and I’m totally against the overstepping and misguided lost direction of policing in America which is so lacking in accountability I’m not sure anyone even knows the term anymore but I believe it’s based in the degradation of agencies caused by failed command staff which are controlled by politicians more concerned with their own advancement and finances than the good of the agency, so it can protect and serve the best interest of community and find it politically expedient to focus on the wrong things, collecting revenue and gaining power while pushing social justice within the agency rather than pursuing actual justice for their constituents. There’s a lot to be fixed in policing but everyone sitting around bitching and badmouthing all cops for all things and going out of their way to find something to bitch about and to constantly demonize cops just to be divisive and make matters worse isn’t going to help. People need to realize that they are at fault in this as well. It’s our duty as citizens to be involved and to be educated voters, especially in local elections. So when people are bitching about cops and how they never get prosecuted for anything and this, that, n the other…while they’ve had the same mayor.,,.same city council…same district attorney in office forever…they’ve brought those problems on themselves n need to shut up and fix it.
I love how people think the cops actually know the law. Most of them aren’t honor roll students…
LOL so true
Don't expect them to know as good as a lawyer but in the profession they do they should. If they don't know the laws then what exactly are they upholding?
@@mutary26 They obviously know the basic and most laws that are common across most cities/states/country but they certainly don't know them in details. A good example is obstruction of an officer. This one is often misused and abused.
The cops that do know the law aren’t in the streets they prefer the desk to avoid the bullshit.
You can’t really generalize nearly a million officers. The quality of a city and states local government is reflected in its police. Cops are great in my town
EDIT: That lady is an MVP!
I honestly appreciate your channel. If you're open to suggestions another great panel you could add is if the cops faced and penalties/have been charged/accused of misconduct before. It'd really help put some of these cops intentions into perspective 😊
This is why there’s a distrust with some cops. The young men kept asking them to get the manager but they blatantly refused to. Then were extremely arrogant by refusing to identify themselves.
No crime committed 😳
@@jamesabraham6306 I believe Jillian was saying the cops acted arrogantly when refusing to verbally provide names and badge numbers.
Some? I think you mean most
Not only did they refuse to get the manager, THEY LIED, stating that the manager didn't want to come out.
I’d say all cuz the whole justice system is fucked up along with them
I’m surprised that the officers ignoring the request for their name and badge number wasn’t noted in this audit. The officer with the hat even had that look on his face like he’s playing dumb and didn’t hear it. He was quick to handcuff someone for not providing their name but he turns around and does the same.
@Babes & Board Games This! Thank you for pointing out the truth.
@Babes & Board Games To be fair they do admit that in the disclaimer at the beginning of these videos. I just find it entertaining. They also advertise the original posters which helps them gain publicity for their cases. Something I think can be helpful as a lot of these channels only have a couple thousand subscribers while the one advertising them has 1.1 Million subscribers
@@kuleguy2010 thank you for replying similarly as i was about to.

Wow everyone BUT the cops handled that situation so well. Those kids were properly brought up and know their rights! Amazing! And bless the 2 bystander sticking up for the teens.
They temporarily detained the teens but there is no explanation why they wouldn’t get the manager to verify if these were the teens involved. Also important, notice the retaliation when the manager exonerated the teens, the officer attempts to solicit a trespass asking if the manager wants these innocent teens removed anyway.
It happens all too frequently ! Just think ...how many innocent young people, men and women alike of color getting their freedom ripped from them .
And then the lawyer tells them to take an Alford plea, telling them it will make everything go away. But not telling them it's just a guilty plea.
I hate the system.
They didn’t get the manager to verify because they didn’t want to. They wanted to assert their authority over those kids and make an arrest vs trying to figure out what was actually going on. The one cop asking “do yo want me to trespass them” after finding out it wasn’t them is evidence of that. In a situation where there was no crime and the criminals were long gone, he wanted to create a crime and then solve it
I've noticed that in situations like these, none of the officers ever apologize for getting it wrong. Like shoot, also going inside and getting the guy who "pointed" would of cleared that up long before any escalation was made
But... he doesn't wanna come out here.
@@silverfischdotnet that's what the cops said🤔... But you see that he came out right?
@@blackice51374 yessss.... my comment was sarcasm.
i wish I had the power to point at strangers and have them arrested
I also think the humanity in many cops would be brought back if these cops at least apologized. Everyone knows they're not perfect, but they want to act like they are. Remember the case of the gentleman who was handcuffed and brought outside of his own house in his underwear because the cops wouldn't listen that it was a false (security) alarm? Once the supervisor came and told them they were wrong they just milled out of the house without another word.
I think the issue is the cops think if you don't immediately follow thier commands then you're being difficult and therefore they don't have to apologize.
Grew up in Elkhart. Left 22 years ago, it's sad to see some things never change. Had similar encounters with police there.
Good job lady. Those young men deserved an apology from the police.
They deserve to be paid for being terrorised. If that woman wasn’t there they would have arrested or killed them.
Apologize 😂🤣😂 to a black man???? get real, White Cops have so much hate for blacks until they can't even do their jobs right 😅 Everytime there's a situation wit a black person notice how much the Laws changes just listen to the BS Cops be saying and when another black person do the SAME thing, it's a whole different story 😂🤣 they make sh*t up as they see it, so they can use their home made laws
The internet deserves an apology for YER FACE!
@@skunk12 Are you one of the fool cops in the video?
@@iamhudsdent2759 nah. Those types of people are too tightly wound up to make jokes about YER FACE!

Cop, "We're asking them to leave."
Bystander, "So are they free to leave?"
Cop, "no."
Lol
Leave..stay..Leave stay..
See how easy confusion can happen
After watching a ton of these videos over the years, it is absolutely staggering how many police officers either don't know the law or willfully disregard the law.
Absolutely staggering how racist some officers are...the looks on their faces ( the cops ) clearly shows their disdain for these kids.
*are racist
Exactly and the departments continue to have morons remain working… 😵💫😒💀 Wtf????! And yeah, racists are in that category above. Who wants inefficient workers??? Who??? Makes no sense!!!
They hire morons for their gang activities.
And just think what they used to get away with before they were required to have cameras.
Imagine the impact an arrest can have on anyone's life. Lose a job. Stuck in jail till court date. Possible wrongful conviction and a criminal record.
Thank God for everyone involved that helped these kids.
The bystanders and the lady, in particular, should get an A+ as well for stepping in when they saw those kids being mistreated. Although none of them went to jail, I'm sure this will still affect them in some way. Unfair interactions with police traumatizes people frfr.
True
I would go further - without the bystanders, the treatment of the 3 would have likely been worse - reference departments history of abuses at end of video, 8:35 officer request the manager trespass them when the only reason the 3 were still there was because they were detained id likely illegal and retaliatory.
Better yet, A++ for the bystanders, the lady and the store manager for stepping in!
It's interactions like this that cause mistrust police. Those kids will by far less likely to call police for help, or give them any aid if needed in the future. More than likely they will be more inclined to run from police instead to preserve their freedom.
It's all so counterproductive, and unfortunately the status quo these days.
Yep
I’ve said this before, this needs to be a tv show. Not everyone is seeing these videos. Interactions between the police and the public would improve if dirty laundry was made public on a routine basis in a respectable, unwashed, but transparent way. If you’re just a regular person, you would better understand your rights. If you’re a law enforcement officer, you would stop and think about your actions and then get better educated on policing or stop being an officer. In my work, I never stop learning, I imagine its the same with law enforcement. You wouldn’t want to be the officer who acted like a jackass and now everyone is talking about you. I don’t hate police officers, but I think a lot forget that they serve the public and maybe forget to treat everyone with equal amounts of respect.
I think the training issue is they're taught to control the public instead of respect us. I don't live in Indiana, but I don't think these issues would be as prevalent nationally if officers were held accountable for this kind of behavior. So often we find out months to years later about these incidents only after a suit has been filed against the department and city. Not only that, some jurisdictions still try to threaten bystanders with obstruction of justice for intervening. I have a hard time believing that if only the black man was present this wouldn't have escalated even further. Considering the ProPublica report, Elkhart officers seem to enjoy ignoring the Constitution. I don't hate them either, but I sure am tired of their BS and long for real accountability.
Agree
Absolutely this should be on TV but the blue live matter crew would fight this tooth and nail
@@aomar9449 they would try but it’s fair and unbiased I don’t think they would have a leg to stand on. Except maybe to say.. well they didn’t film the situation from the beginning.
@@aomar9449 Indeed! The police union is the only remaining empowered union in the country. It is also the only union that represents a band of criminals.
Kids: “Can you have him come out here to prove it wasn’t us?”
Cops: “he doesn’t want to come out here, he said it’s you”
Hotel manager comes out after hero mom does the policeman’s jobs for them.
Hotel manager: “these aren’t the same kids”
Police: “🤡🤡”
This is exactly why cops should not be legally able to lie. If we lie, we get charged. Cops lie to bring arrests and charges. Not a good idea in our quota system of cop evaluations.
@@MDBenton I agree
That was the flag to me the officers were lying and more concerned with forcing compliance with an illegal order than investigating the incident. It should have been a flag to the officers they were detaining the wrong suspects.
@@1SCme 100%

There are two important points here. First, it is critical that bystanders must stand up when they witness injustice.
Second, so many of these incidents could have been avoided if they listened.
I hope you mean the officers by that “they”. Anything else is supreme boot licking.

@@j.lx2548 I don't think that they would get it.
I just came back from the store. While shopping, I kept thinking about my response to you.
It reminded me of another video I saw. A white man was arrested for refusing to show his ID while he was in a Walmart.
He tried to explain to the cops the state law. They refused to listen. They roughed him up a little bit. This was all done in front of his 3 year old.
After marching him through the Walmart in handcuffs, a supervisor told them to let him go.
In the subsequent IA interview, the arresting officer was first asked if he now understood the state's ID rules. He got it wrong. The interviewer explained the rule to him. He got it wrong again when he was asked to explain the rule.
Then, after all of this, he was asked whether he would do things differently now that he understands the rule. He said no he wouldn't.
No amount of training is going to stop these people from doing what they want to do.
Kudos to the people who defended those kids and even brought out the manager to end the situation.
It’s honestly so good that the bystanders were there bc a lot of times cops will see a group of young kids and assume they don’t know their rights and will push their authority because they feel they can get away with it, they would have undoubtably taken the kid in cuffs away I feel like if they weren’t there

big shout out to the manager for standing up for the teens
Make sure that you give him something out of your settlement!! Hugh
We need more good citizens like this.
Good for these people for standing up for what's right.
There’s something about the mix of authority with pride that just won’t ever let cops admit to being wrong, and instead of doing so they escalate what would otherwise be simple altercations that can be fixed with a few basic questions
I think it's a mix of "douche" and "baggery" myself!
It's the unfortunate consequence of giving not particularly intelligent people positions of power.
It's the consequence of a lack in upbringing.
I was taught a man true to himself will admit AND rectify his wrongs. To admit it, isn't enough because you didn't learn anything. You only recognized it.
They don't teach that at the academy. It comes from home; from upbringing, or lack thereof.
To imagine 'saving face' is only a cop flaw, is in itself justification for it to continue the way it does elsewhere, to reflect upon those that are in charge of leading these 'officers'.
@@theycallme4799 I do agree with you, but on a systemic level the solution is to focus on cops and other people in positions of power, rather than try and eradicate bad parenting and hope the next generation is better. So focusing on cops and not talking about others is ok for me.
absolutely hilarious how even after the manager came out the cop still asked if the manager wanted to trespass the dudes. just goes to show police dont actually care about the truth, just about getting charges and arrests
The cops' bonus depends on arrests, charges, tickets, fines, citations, etc.
honestly depends on deparments its the bad ones that get most of the attention and this deparetment is a ceespool of problems and red flags

"No, you can't leave."

More and more, I think that the cops just make it up as they go along. My theory is that, in the recruitment process, they are probably given training and are helped and encourage to learn and perform well. Then, the Police Department employs the ones who fail the most badly.
Those cops really wanted to arrest those kids.
@@simonmultiverse6349 I studied Criminal Justice in college and can verify that in nearly all situations, how situations are handled is *at the cops discretion*

This is what people mean when they say all cops are bastards. Even the people who are good and upstanding (like yourself) get pushed out of these institutions. Thank you for standing up for what's right, and the moment you gave up that badge you _did_ become a good cop.

That solicitation of trespass by the cop AFTER being told those were not the boys is a felony violation of 18 USC Subsection 241….conspiracy to violate civil liberties under color of law.

Yes, the cop lied about that.
I think he wasn't pointing at the manager but to the other cop.
It would unfortunately be very hard to win that case in court. Unless there is video proving that it was a lie that the manager pointed, you aren't going to be able to prove that it was an intentional violation of rights vs a miscommunication. If the cops can argue they believed that the manager had pointed out these kids then they win in a he-said-she-said.
