The incident occurred on Friday, April 14, 2023. There were no injuries and the biggest use of force involved was thankfully just a bear hug. :)

Good job narrating. No pauses, no stupid voice, good vocabulary. 10/10.
Exactly. 👍🚔
Gotta love it
He sounded angry
I was in a situation like this near Sandusky, Ohio. A state trooper stopped and offered me a ride, I complied and he took me all the way to the outskirts of Toledo, Ohio. I wholeheartedly thanked the trooper for his kindness.
Are you John Rambo ?
When i was 18, back in the late 90s, my stupid arse decided to pick up a friend and drive around for awhile drinking on a 6 pack. I do, looking back, consider that an act of evil despite that no one was hurt ... thanking God i did not hurt anyone. Anyway, around midnight, i dropped off my friend and was headed home when my car stalled out and would not start again. I was a good 15 miles from home on a pretty much deserted highway ... so i grabbed my last beer and started walking. I barely started when a cop passed and flashed his lights ... i chucked the beer as he was turning around but surely he did see that not to mention, looking back, i know i had to reek of alcohol. He asked me what happened and where i was headed and then he told me to get in the car .... he actually took me home (ran every red light too which i thought was cool .. no worries ... no one else was around to care). He gave me a lecture like a father would his daughter before letting me go into my home. It stuck too .... what he told me. I was playing stupid and things really should have and could have turned out much worse. This happened in Austin tx.
@@KatieMasada A male would have had somewhat different treatment.
@@KatieMasadaOne time at band camp.........😂
In all fairness, the trooper needs to take some martial art classes or some classes on how to keep his balance, this encounter could have had a different result had the subject been a wanted criminal/ felon....
That's how Rambo was approached in that small town by the sheriff and all hell broke loose😂
He just wanted to get something to eat.
@@JohnSmith-ys4nlExactly big difference..
I thought I had seen this movie before...
When my kids were very small we were coming home from Christmas at my mom's. The car broke down just before the river bridge that crosses from Texas to Oklahoma. It was cold and my husband and I started carrying the kids to get to phone. A state police officer came and told us that someone had called us in. He loaded us in his patrol car and took us the 6 miles home. We were so thankful. Never in my 66 years have I ever encountered a police officer that hasn't been polite or helpful.
Lucky you

Yup.. 👮🏻 think that.. oops know that.. Because they can
At no time does the officer have any duty to protect this man from himself or traffic. The man must be allowed to travel freely absent any complaint or observation of criminal activity. As long as he doesn't cross that solid white line and walk in the road he is completely legal on the easement. FREEDOM IS SCARY; DEAL WITH IT!
@@AaronAlso You can walk beside a hwy, but it is illegal to be walking on an interstate/expressway. Unless you have an emergency breakdown, you are a hazard to yourself, and others. He was stopped because he was approaching a ramp.
So let me get this stright. This dude was just walking along when this fukin cop just decided that he had to fuk with him right? If that kid had gotten ahold of the cops weapon and smoked him, id feel nothing for the cop

Thank you Officer for your service.
He assaulted the man. The man broke no law for the cop to bother him. Read the constitution please.
@tim56777 Stupidity should be an arrestable offense. No assault by the trooper, he should have complied. All bright one had to do was comply, quite possibly the trooper could be held responsible if the toddler was injured due to his stupidity. Duh.
@@tim56777 Walking along a freeway is considered jaywalking in Minnesota under Sec. 169.21 MN Statutes, maybe you should be the one too read up on your laws.
@@tim56777You can read?
@SheriN1442 stupidity should be an arrestable offense? Then 3/4 of the police in the nation would be serving life sentences. Dumber than bricks.
As for the taser, it is possible the Trooper used the "drive stun" mode which is done by activating the taser and placing it against the subject's body. This can be performed with or without a prong cartridge attached or after a prong cartridge has been deployed. You see in the video that the second Trooper does place the end of the taser against the individual's body.
That’s what I’m thinking happened. Yes, a taser throws sparks, but only when the prong cartridge is deployed(the sparks are the cover of the cartridge being ejected out of the way and the prongs being ejected out of the cartridge towards the target. I’m this case since the original trooper was so entangled with the suspect, the second trooper would not be able to deploy the taser prongs without also hitting the original trooper too, so therefor the second trooper instead decides to use his taser in “Drive Stun” mode like any typical “Stun gun” pressed directly on the suspects body. So while a taser cartridge may not have been deployed, the taser may have been used as more of a stun gun pressed against the suspects body. But even then, that may not have even needed to happen, the 2nd trooper may have just said “stop resisting or you will be tased” or something along those lines while holding the taser near the suspects body getting ready to tease him and for once the suspect actually immediately complied so the taser didn’t need to be used… maybe…
Stfu. He didn't use it. Why do you want to be stupid 🙄.
The taser 7 or cq7 cartridges does not shoot out confetti like the m26 /26 cartridges do and yes the taser x3 x2 taser 7 and cq7 have a dive stun mode where you do not have too take the cartridges out like the m26 x26 or x26p.
I agree he may have used it that way. I saw it used that way in a crowded bar with a guy that was causing trouble and refusing the leave. A little juice and he decided to comply.
How in the world did we end up with so many damn idiots? I don't remember there being this many everywhere when I was younger.

This is what I like to see, cops taking care of business in a clean way, people have such a high level of expectation regarding this profession, it's good to know cops did their part, the rest belong to justice or perhaps in this case the health and social services.
You like living in a police state where pigs go hands on for nothing, victimless bullshit....nothing but cowards and thugs...
I'm 65 yo and I would definitely provide as much help as possible to any law enforcement in need of assistance regardless if it's recommended or not .
When we broke down, we actually walked on the side of the freeway to avoid the hood at night. Knowing full well that a trooper would stop for us. And one did. He gave us a ride for about 17 miles to our exit in the better part of town. We told him that we would get lost and mugged off of the freeway, and he agreed. Saying it was his job to keep drivers safe.
That’s all this guy had to do. The officer would have gladly taken him to a safer area (within limits of destination). There was no reason whatsoever for the guy to come unglued like he did. Zero.
@@holylandfan3275 how did you come up with that conclusion. The officer would helped him....yea right.
@@hardworkmcgee2998 bad experience with cops by chance?
@@holylandfan3275 Sure there is a reason. He doesn't want to be stopped.
@@MacNifty Haha, yeah. That'll do it I guess
That officer was lucky to have backup close by. Those unfortunate officers in desolate places like New Mexico (Officer Darian Jarrott ,. R.I.P.) , have no backup within a half hour sometimes. Luckily citizens and truck drivers will sometimes jump in and help the officer.
Jarrott was set up by the feds to deal with a dangerous subject on his own with no heads up about the situation. IMO the feds were an accessory in this instance, therefore they should be disbanded and replaced by a Cadre of selected state LEOs and Sherrifs representing the states and counties instead of the feds picking their own to represent themselves.
Wym he was lucky? The person he was tussling with never through a punch tried to choke him or anything the cop was kinda out of line with this one, he put himself in that hold lmao the guy was just stuck on top of him cuz the cop was holding his hand, maybe cops shouldn't try WWE moves they see on TV against some poor dude who doesn't have a car
The guy had a free hand the whole time if you need to rewatch it, the dude just did nothing let it play out, cops just kept using more force for no reason
@@mrkarabz6397 What a LUCKY break that the 'suspect' wasn't out to hurt the Trooper at all, and just wanted to be left alone.
@RANDOMNATION suspected of not being able to use basic human functions, some the 11b I know used to walk along interstate before redeployment or reups for training, dude the officer had no right to initiate that arrest, it's not texas where i10 has a 5 foot shoulder and 10 lanes completely filled with cars, it's light traffic with a huge shoulder he's fine
When you have to walk on the interstate because you don't want to walk through your own neighborhood speaks volumes about the city you live in.
It does remind me how brave these troopers are. 🧡👍🚔
Being a state Trooper seems way more dangerous than just being an average cop. The cops show up in groups of six, troopers pull people over alone in the middle of nowhere.
The 2nd officer did a contact stun, where he put the muzzle on the suspect and zapped him. That’s what got him to comply.
That is known to us in law enforcement as a drive stun, all you do is remove the cartridge and pull the trigger, documentation is still necessary in the Incident report that the taser was used.
Wrong. No drive stun was done.
@@bengen19 i agree there did not appear to be and since every trigger pull is saved and will show upon download the dept would obviously know. Also to the other comment, with tasers for the last 5 or so years probably longer, you do not remove cartridge for drive stun, it arcs across the front and both cartridges are in front now. And drive stuns do not cause instant compliance hardly ever lol Just looked it up. I’m getting old. 2011 was the release of the new style Taser
@@GM8101PHX what small ass budget are you working under that you still have the old tasers. Holy hell. The X2 was released in 2011 that has both cartridges in front and drive stun is done without removing cartridges
Lol it's a taser not a gun ..no muzzle on a taser ..it's called a drive stun for your info !! But you are correct ..I fought a guy last week took 2 full 5 second rounds from a taser and had zero effect on him ..these tasers are not always effective ..been an officer 22 years and had several people that a taser has not effected ..

Great coverage, but I thought the 2nd trooper was using his taser in drive-stun mode -- based on the switch activation at the start, and the press-move-press actions of the trooper for pain compliance. I don't know that they can safely use the launched barbs that close...
@@morethanblackandwhite agree. He was definitely thinking drive stun but looks like they got compliance at that moment as well

yeap instead of getting a free ride to a repair shop or assistance he probably went to jail
Hitchhiking is only illegal because the local governing law enforcement can't trust its own citizens to make safe decisions cross the road when safe too and choosing trustworthy people to ride with idk that's no place for the government to step in for, that dude didn't hit the officer he held his hands and they fell, dude had no clue why they were tussling tbh it went from normal convo to the floor rq for seemingly no reason other than the officer felt like he was too inept or incapable of using his eyes ears and feet just strange imo
Glad the officer is OK!
Absolutely amazing restraint on these troopers. Amazing restraint on the second trooper with the Taser 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾✌🏽💪🏾🙏🏽❤️
I have personally have always found State Troopers to be helpful and for the most part, even friendly. I think Troopers everywhere deserve a lot of respect. They have a tough, lonely job.
I’ve had ONE interaction with a state trooper, and let’s just say I could have lost my license, paid a HEFTY fine, and had my car impounded due to the situation, and he wrote me a seatbelt ticket. I was on the way home from work, my music was too loud, I was driving too fast and not paying attention to my surroundings so I was speeding in a construction zone. I was 17, just a kid, and soon thereafter was shipping off to boot camp. The dude was cool as a cucumber, and it helped that I wasn’t heckling him. Mutual respect goes a LONG way.
That is because they are often trained a lot more extensive then your typical city cop or sheriff. Use to be that you had to be a certain height to be a State Trooper and they had to have military experience. Which a lot of State Troopers that get the job do have a military background.
Speak for yourself. You roll around with out of state tags and most of them screw you over the most they can both constitutionally and unconstitutionally. They know you wont go to court and fight it if you are out of state. It costs too much money and time. So the cops take advantage of it
The pig should have minded his own business and he would nt have got his ass whooped....
All police officers have a tough job give them a break
Not a single car stopped to help once this jumped off! I know it's a risk, but one I think is worth taking to help protect the people that protect all of us. Thank God the dispatcher operating the camera was on the ball getting that backup to the Trooper right away.
No, not a good idea to stop right there or even pull over after the turn arounds. They're at the exit turnaround which there are 2 turnarounds for traffics. You take that chance stopping and running towards the officer, you also take the chances of either causing an accident or getting hit by a car. You got cars merging onto hwy 35 and then you got cars exiting hwy 35. Best way to stop is before the turnaround. But anyone who has passed them both, its already too late to stop. Thats why you see both officers pulled up on the exit turnaround to avoid traffic.
@@dangermanv6133 All good points, but I have never, and will never, drive past an officer who's fighting with someone. I've had occasion to render such assistance three times, and it's always been appreciated. YMMV.
It's not our job and at this point the majority of our country doesn't like the police enough to pis on fire to put them out police have made it a point to let us know that we cannot trust them so its in our best interest to just keep driving by and ignore the whole situation less chance of being a victim shot by scared police
I wouldn't have helped
Most Americans have NO idea how to fight.
This Trooper needs jiu-jitsu.
Well I'm glad no one got hurt🙏♥️ I think the police handled that awesome too 🤜♥️ it's a good day when no one gets hurt
He was Drive stun, just keep the safety on the taser and when you pull the trigger it will initiate the stun, no prongs get deployed but you will still get zapped.
I posting the same thing before scrolling down and seeing this.
Which I think was a good call by the officers. He was passively resisting and needed a little help understanding that cooperating was good thing.
Look closely and see the light was on at one point.
The taser used does not work like that. The safety has to be off for it to activate. You can see the Trooper remove the black cartridge, and then apply the taser. Therefor the taser was an X26 or X26P. Not one of the newer X2 or something that allows for independent activation of drive stun. X26 is safety off and pull trigger. Drive stun can be used with or without a cartridge. With a cartridge, when pressed against the target the arc is not going across the doors, so it doesn’t fire unless it’s pulled away from the target.
@@PTRRanger951 I believe that's a taser 7 due to the yellow and black coloring and long "slide" with short "grip" which does allow for drive stunning without removing the cartridge, the taser 7 no longer has the id tags on probe deployment afaik if it was deployed
I believe in freedom, but that doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want. Arrogance and entitlement is off the charts. Tired of seeing people fight other people or police and get let off easy.

Agreed. No props should've been given to the perp.
You don't. Freedom by definition means you "get to do whatever you want."
I believe in freedom, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. Contradicting yourself does you no credit.
The guy just had to move off the highway and keep going on his marry way.
MDOT on our state are installing camera's , not just on highways, but major intersections as well.
There needs to be more hand to hand combat training
I agree this officer probably out weighed the offender by 30 to 40 pounds, should not have needed help, the only thing I'm not sure of, was the perp going for his gun and maybe the officer couldn't get top position because he was protecting his gun.😊🌏
The perp should have been the one to hit the ground.
@@hippopotaman075 that suspect knows wrestling and other martial art moves. See how he uses his body and spreads out his legs. I respect the officer working through the motions but officers need more hand to hand training including jujitsu. Could of gone south for the officer.
Agreed! It's actually safer for a suspect to be effectively restrained quicker..... Many years ago I got in a fight with a no-shit karate black belt....Somehow, I never hit him. He didn't hit me.....He let me throw punches and kicks until I was so worn out I could only glare at him, wheezing my lungs out, and with my hands on my knees to avoid falling down. He asked me if I was done.....I agreed. Years later, I was told by another for-real karate practitioner that I was fortunate to be fighting a highly skilled person.....Someone with lesser training would have hurt me. True story.....There is a point here......Cops need effective training to stop these fights before they become dangerous.
@@SyrupCanuck that was exactly what my comment said, i was agreeing with monkeyseemonkeydo. If the officer had a good grounding in some sort of training he would have been much better placed to counter the perp. But this officer has no fighting skills at all. Kind of strange for a officer. Don't you think.🤔😥🌏
I have to give a lot of credit to a dispatcher in saving my life, one who can detect the sound of an officer's voice in trouble; I was called to a restaurant where 6 suspects were causing a disturbance and damaged, upon arrival to the scene, the suspects were gone; since it was close to code-7 (lunch) I stayed on scene to take the report. I was unaware several of the suspects had returned through a side door and they attacked me from behind. Being on code 7, I had my radio on top of table, and it went flying, since the restaurant was packed, I threw out my arms and like a football player, prior to law enforcement drove them out of the restaurant, into the parking lot. With no radio to call for help, the fight was on, and I could only use one arm, since the other was holding tight on my service revolver, which the suspects were trying to get. I could not draw my weapon, to many other people in the parking lot standing around watching. A young girl who was in the restaurant with her family found my radio and by the grace of our Lord, she made her way through this this fight and held it up to me, where I grabbed it and called out a 999, yet before I could give location and the radio was taken from me. The dispatcher knew my voice and put out the call on all channels and surrounding departments; "999 officer in trouble", the code where everyone responds ASAP. Unknown to me, a state task force of several agencies was setting up to raid a house for narcotics. Within seconds unknown people were pouring in to help me, at first was scared, I was not made aware of this undercover team., then they started taking out their badges. Yes, I could have gone to my firearm during this fight, since I had my nose and jaw broken, several ribs broken, a large gash above my right eye blinding me and in need of stitches and a severe concussion, to the point of almost passing out. I spend several days in the hospital, more recovery at home and assigned light duty before returning to full duty. The city awarded the dispatcher and the small child who bought me my radio for saving my life.
Thank God you got out ok (minus the injuries) that must be an adrenaline pumping moment…and shame on those people for not helping.
@@JigglyWiggly69: Thank you, I wanted to go to sleep after one of the suspects kicked my head into a cement column, yet a voice kept telling me don't go to sleep or you will die. I still very grateful to this day for the dispatcher and the brave little girl who brought me my radio, how, only the Lord knows how she did.
Respect🇺🇸👌
My dispatchers actually got mad at me on occasions where I could be in high stress, people calling saying your officer is fighting with someone or whatever and I'm like I'm good here. They always said they couldn't ever tell if I was in trouble or not. Same flat monotone all the time. It served me well to keep my shit together at all times while on duty......and off for the most part. I could see what they're talking about though. Other officers would get louder or their tone would change. Apparently mine never did. Dispatchers are awesome and take so much crap for their officers!
@@jasonsimmons6684: I heard the modern officers did away with using codes, we had a code system, which must be mastered before ever getting into a patrol unit and our Dispatchers knew the codes as well, saves airtime; plus, if one work the streets long enough, one get to know the others on their squad and what their abilities are to handle calls. I didn't need Dispatch to advise me to back up another officer if I heard stress in his voice over the radio, if everything is Code-4, we chat for a few seconds, then back on patrol.
Midwest I think the taser has a dual function where he can press it into someone and use it as a stun gun. So yes I think he tasted the guy
Thank you Police Officers. While i cherish my freedom we still need basic order and rules. The cop may have easily taken him a bit further where he could have walked safely. A pity it came to this situation. I understand there can sometimes be police that push authority but this did not seem to be the case. Respect the police and we all live under the same law.
Back in 82 me and my bf hitched to and from MPLS. Troopers were helpful towards us. Certain places we had to stand to hitch. Wouldn't dream of that now.
I’m always in awe of the state patrol dispatchers who manage to handle the call volume of MN highways, all while communicating with first responders, organizing inter departmental efforts , all while keeping the camera focused right on the incident that is occurring if available.💪
I hope the ladies on "The View" take notice of this..then praise the Officer....LOL! Of course Sonny Hoffman will call that White Officer a racist..LOL!
@@tonytaylor4545 What're you talking about? What ladies??
@@NrinaNutshell I think he meant she-dogs.
This was an awesome video. I too like cameras too assist law enforcement, citizens can check if the freeway has too much snow, or not enough. I know we have no privacy with vehicles telling on you, cameras everywhere etc. So don't fight it as this will help law enforcement if they get hurt, backup and ems will be right there. Same for other humans. ❤❤❤
Tasers do not have to be fired to be used. They can be used in drive-stun mode where there are no electrodes fired from the front of the gun. It looks like he did this when he pressed it to the body of the suspect but I’m not sure.
Should be charged with assault on Police officer, resisting arrest too, IMHO
i really cannot imagine being a cop without high level fight training, grappling and striking, no way. this should be a requisite of becoming a police officer.
This is not the movies.
Oh boy how old are you? What planet are you from foreigner?
I wrestled in HS and still remember take-down moves that would have come in handy for the officer.
I was a cop. In my day you didn't put a hand on us or you got your ass bent. Consequently MOST people unless they were drunk, high or crazy, did NOT make the grave mistake of touching or attacking one. Especially a cop working alone. All he has is himself, far from town, and real help was a LONG way away when a fight starts. IF you could get the word out. All this is obama's make them quit, jail them or kill them program he wanted since day one. When local policing is finally all destroyed or JAILED then he will get to create the 'National Police Force" he always wanted. An NPF answering to Washington alone and operating exactly like the Gestapo, KGB, Stasi Secret Police or FBI. They already don't miss many of the Nazi's tricks these days.
Problem is, even folks who seek out extensive martial arts training don't want to be cops. In a troop of 32 new cadets, I don't have more than 2-3 with any previous training and even then, it's only a year or two.
Great job dispatcher!
As a retired cop, my thought when I was on the job, was that if I was alone and a suspect got me on the ground and was overpowering me, I would end him. Too easy for the suspect to deliver a good knockout punch and then take my gun. If a suspect attacks a cop, all bets are off. For the measly $25 an hour my city paid me, it wasn't enough to let some POS keep me from me going home to my family. It is so bad out there now, all these perps want to fight, resist or flee. Hardly anyone just gets arrested anymore. Our society is broken!
Sounds like society does not need your kind anymore. You could always come out of retirement for the state of Utah.
@bobharris6095 Thank you for your service. Sad to say it, but you're right, it's a jungle out there.
I can't understand why ? Fight, disarm, Taz but to end a life? Life is precious. If he's not armed and another officer coming to help it just seems excessive to me.
@@4Dangert I can't understand why the criminal means more to you than the officer. The officer is merely doing his job protecting us non-criminals from the scum.
I agree with the officer get him off the freeway
Why do people have to push the envelope it’s the law no pedestrians or bicyclists on the freeway Hell I see the signs on every on-ramp
At no time does the officer have any duty to protect this man from himself or traffic. The man must be allowed to travel freely absent any complaint or observation of criminal activity. As long as he doesn't cross that solid white line and walk in the road he is completely legal on the easement. FREEDOM IS SCARY; DEAL WITH IT!
@@AaronAlsodid you just copy and paste that rote response? Sounds like some BLM bull💩 to me.
@@AaronAlso Sorry but every freeway on ramp in the TC metro area has signage prohibiting pedestrians on the freeway.
The law does not apply to him.
It's the nature of today's "me generation, I'm going to do what I feel like doing".
Feel like the taser prongs weren't deployed so no medical was needed but he was definitely dry stunning him
Yep .
What does dry stunning mean
Works even better than fry-by-wire.
@@johnandspencer The taser also has the option to be used as a contact stun gun. Most people are familiar with it shooting out two prongs that embed in the suspect and Trail wires which carry the electrical current. This allows the taser to be used at some distance, however it also has contact prongs on the face of it that allows it to be used like a conventional handheld stun gun.
@Florida Gunrat oh didn't no it served a double use
Everyone just driving by as a cop doing his extraordinarily important job, and now as he is wrestling a piece of garbage , people just go on by. At least one person has integrity and a moral compass.
Thanks for showing all 3 views. Made a real difference.
Thank you, Minnesota, for allowing us to see these professional State Troopers in action. I for one am very grateful for all the State Troopers across this great land and respect everything that they do to keep us safe and secure as we travel the highways and byways of these United States of America. 🇺🇸
thank you troopers for helping violate peoples rights every single day
All the guy was doing was walking. Who the f*ck did the pig protect?
He is not a pig, bozo, he was trying to keep him off the freeway, if he got hurt, likely would be like you loser, and sue the state
Strange mn did this with the stupid laws they been passing lately
The Troopers protected the individual who was walking along the busy interstate. There are signs posted at every on-ramp that specifically states no slow-moving vehicles, pedestrians, nor tractors allowed on the interstate. As a CDL-A Commercial Truck Driver I understand this law. You ever heard of "suicide by Truck" where a mentally disturbed individual will step out in front of a moving Tractor-trailer that's doing 65mph fully loaded? Yea, it happens. So pedestrians need to stay off the interstates and freeways where traffic is moving at high speeds, including Commercial vehicles, and a pedestrian can easily get struck by oncoming, or outgoing traffic. It was very dangerous for this individual to be walking in a restricted area. So once again, thank you Minnesota State Troopers for saving lives. 👍👍👍
FYI narrator: The taser does not release "confetti" (called AFID tags) when it's used in drive stun (body contact) mode as it may have been used here. It only discharges AFIDs when you fire the darts out. And you most likely would not have seen those AFID tags anyway had they been released due to the long range of the camera shot.
I’m glad you said because I was going to add that. One correction though, they’re not ‘darts’; they’re barbed prongs. The narrator does “confirm there was no taser deployment” and technically he would be right. However, as you said, a drive stun was used to get this individual to comply.
Yes, the tags actually have a serial # printed on them so it can be determined who fired the taser shot. Each cartridge serial # is assigned to specific officers just for this reason.
He still had his cartridge in the taser....
I actually got a ride off the freeway by a couple of nice Grand Rapids, MI police. I had got lost downtown and my friends left (this was before cellphones) and Division was kind of a scary street in the 1980s so I started walking down US-131. I made it about 2 miles and they stopped me and then dropped me off at home.
I like to monitor police radio traffic. Where I'm from, when a solo officers commands are ignored with the person walking away, the officer will follow at a distance while help is on the way. That's the way it should be no matter how far out.
Lol kinda reminds me of my younger days when I used to hitch hike a lot, but I never had the issue of being thrown to the ground by any LEO, I usually had good relationship with them, up to and including being given a ride at least to the county line or a on ramp so "I'd be safe", but that was back in the '80's and ain't no way I'd try it now, too many cretins who would cut your throat for no reason
Hitch hiking is illegal in Minnesota
I hitchiked for 2 yrs 8 yrs ago. Never had an officer treat me like this. I walked a ton on freeways
A LEO?

The operator should get a commodation. She saved that trooper
The taser was, in fact, deployed. You can even see him taking his cartridge off to use it as a melee. You see the spark before he press its into the suspect.
Trooper on his back like a turtle.
He did deploy the taser - they operate as a contact weapon also. - That is what the second trooper was doing when he ran up. He saw he could not deploy it as a barbed projectiles and he was trying to get it switched to a contact deployment. - They give a jolt that usually gets someone's attention, and they feel sort of like a wasp sting when you get zapped with one, but the pain quickly subsides once contact is removed. It looked like the trooper hit him about 3-4 times to get him to comply.
Nope, the cartridge containing the barbs and wires has to be removed before deployment in the drive stun mode. I watched the video several times and it appeared the second trooper did not remove the cartridge . If he had pulled the trigger, the barbs would have connected with the suspect, wires would be exposed and the id tag confetti be all over. It's a lot more than a wasp sting. Mental illness is a serious problem these days.
@@jackryan2542 Well, we will have to disagree. I have one in my hand right now, and I can attest to the way it works. It is selectable between contact and projections. - Perhaps you have an older model? (The 1st generations did only have projectiles. The 2nd generation included confetti with serial numbers)
The State Trooper’s did what they had to do. My hats off to the State Trooper’s. Stay safe.
100%
What did the cop do right? Attacked a man because he refused to go with him? Well done cop, give him a medal, and he was a black man. It's good that these two aggressive creatures in uniforms didn't beat him up and didn't use a Taser
@@alexursus4719 They tased the kid. They couldn't beat him up (at least not at the scene) because the kid was an all around better fighter than both of them. They should have asked the kid if he needed a ride. If he said no, give the kid a ticket and let him go about his day.
@@alexursus4719 bro brought up race, automatically has the most retarded argument
I have lived in the TWIN CITY area for 53 yrs. From my experience the Minnesota Highway Patrol has the MOST competent and compassionate officers, but the "City" cops , not so much!

God Bless the Cop❤️
So glad that the other officer was on the scene to help control this very troubled young man, it could have gone a whole lot differently if not.
Yeah imagine him not being assaulted and kidnapped lmao
@@dp9629 , Nobody was assaulted and kidnapped you tool, pedestrians are not allowed to walk down high speed freeways, that's what sidewalks are for.
Keep up the good work my men in uniform
Dude had a free ride and it went negative...... Good job Troopers...😊
Great to see that the officer was honest with his reporting
It’s troubling that no motorists stopped.
I would've stopped for sure.
They didnt really have much time between scuffle start and second officer arriving. Like 10 seconds. I'd have stopped, probably, unless it was dangerous traffic wise.
But most will slow down just to watch the drama.🙄
My big question is and I legally conceal carry at what point if I or another legally armed citizen are present and an officer of the law needs help should I step into help! I realize every situation is different but the law reads if anyone is in danger of great bodily harm or death seems to be our green light! I live in Las Vegas Nevada and have already been attacked by a nut once but knocked him out using my bare hands! I forgot to mention I’m a former golden glove boxer 45 years ago!
Not 1 person stopped, sickening.
When I was a kid about 18 years old my car broke down on the freeway. And A highway patrol officer gave me a ride all the way to meet my dad at 1 o’clock in the morning. I appreciate them.
Unfortunately, today's law enforcement officers are of the opposite breed of ones years ago. New recruits aren't looking to help people, the more time that passes they make sure the good ones get weeded out. My father was a decorated officer who loved his community. Within a year of the war on drugs, realizing they had him destroying lives, and not helping anyone, he got a job helping addicts and their families. There's always an exception to the rule. But the "good guys" are not good anymore. The bad guys have not changed. Most importantly the vast majority of law abiding citizens are terrified of law enforcement. They'd be fools if they weren't.
Glad to see so many people stop to help the officer...I hope that if any of them ever need help, just as many people stop to help them...
People have seen the news. We know what happens when you touch the untouchable race. It doesnt matter if they are trying to kill you or not. The media and the democratic party will come after you. So its every white person for themselves.

No policeman needs to wrestle a perp or should be required to do so, ever!
It's sad seeing tens of cars driving by not helping. It's just sad.
People are only brave in the comments section. In real life they usually fall apart.
i love the way you put this together with no lies and telling us what you think happen like so many people do about the cops you let the vid speak and i thank you for that...we have alot of race hate going around and most of it isnt white people doing hate crimes....no matter what people from the media says...
No lies, but speaking as if he knows what the cop is thinking? Guess he knew the cop was offering a ride😂.. Young black man walking alone, easy target to meet a quota
@@les8499 it dont matter if its a red neck white guy law is law.. it dont mean cause your black you get a free pass....and the cop tried everything he could to stop him the right way....people are real stupid and dont understand hate crimes isnt just one sided its both....i dont know how long god will keep taking this race crap before judgement comes....cant wait ether
@@les8499 just did exactly what they thanked the creator for not doing. Congratulations on identifying yourself as part of the problem. The most amazing part is that you, and everyone else doing what you just did, fail to see that you are doing the opposite of what you are trying to do. Haven’t you ever wondered why nobody listens to you when you complain about police and claim that reform is needed? This is why. When you make stuff up based on 0 fact while complaining about law enforcement that just did nothing wrong, nobody is going to give you the time of day when an officer actually does do something incorrectly. It’s incredible that people can’t see this. Facts matter, feelings and the volume of them, do not. It’s 2023. Everyone has access to endless knowledge, including the entire criminal code of every state, along with court rulings, at their fingertips at all times. Educate yourself and actually do something productive to help society. Hint- it starts with lots of reading from the correct sources. KZhead University has a 100% failure rate concerning their graduates that “know their rights”, actually knowing their rights. Good luck to you

Glad the Officer is fine, wrestling in traffic could be bad. Kudos to dispatcher for being on the ball, and to the 2nd officer who arrived so quickly.

MN state patrol in my experience have been good. Ive been pulled over twice for speeding and both times they have been very fair one warning and one ticket where I definitely could have gotten worse. But as someone who works roadside they have been very helpful while I’m working as well.
This is another situation where a defiant individual refuses to comply & follow the law. Then when enforced to follow the law by an officer he clearly puts his hands on an officer and resists arrest. Perhaps, spending a few days in jail & being issued a stack of fines will help enlighten the suspect that he's not above the law.
You NEVER put your hands on a police officer! That is a good way to go straight to jail.
It says in the video he didn't you dirty commie
The only assault came from the cop onto the man. He was just walking along.
@@tim56777 it was illegal nexus someone can hit him. It's a public danger.

While hiking one day in New Hampshire's White Mountains, I came down the wrong trail and realized I was about three miles from where I had parked at the start of the hike. So I started walking on the highway in the direction of my car. A trooper pulled up beside me and told me that walking on the highway was prohibited for safety reasons. I apologized and explained that I knew of no other route to take. He told me to hop in his cruiser and gave me a ride to the parking lot where I had parked my car. He could have given me a citation and driven off.
Or he he could have raped you, killed you, kidnapped you, tortured you, or just have given you a general molestation. You seem very lucky.
You are white that is why he was nice to you and have you a ride.
With the flag on your jacket and the way you look, you're heading for trouble here, buddy..
@@dalechristensen3640 Man, the first Rambo movie is such an underrated gem.
@@jesusofbulletsabsolutely agree.
No! That suspect threw the Trooper down on his back. He should be charged for that!
I think there was taser activity. It's called a drive stun. It is for close encounter tasing.
My truck broke down on my way home from work at 2:30 am. Luckily, I saw an officer and flagged him down. He was very nice and gave me a ride home!!!
Drug paraphernalia was found on suspect walking on a busy interstate? Shocking. Just another self important, entitled brat, I’ll do what I want man/child that was never told no.
A New Jersey State Trooper gave me $20 for tolls. Truth.
Always obey the law in the world , those are called good citizens
Nobody got hurt so well done officers
Me too...that statie...he slammed himself down pretty hard u can see his head bounce...of course his hat came off but it didn't protect anything anyway lol

The taser was deployed in a drive stun method. There is no burst of confetti markers when it is deployed in this manner. You can see it plain as day in the last video angle and it was completely justified. Active resistance by the suspect.
Wasn't the pedestrian just exercising his right to travel freely?
It's amazing to see so many cars driving by and no one sees this cop having a problem with a suspect and stopping to help him !!!
The scuffed for less than 1 minute before backup showed and cars are speeding by 60-70. I'm sure someone was about to stop but backup showed before they even stopped.
That is actually a really good thing!!!
Really true!!
Oh well
It ain't Texas.....where EVERYONE stops to help out Troopers (particularly Concealed Carriers).
A lot of the tasers have two ways to use them… the darts that fire from a replaceable module and then a contact mode that can be used if the dart module is removed. Kinda looks like he did the contact mode but I can’t tell if he removed the module or not. Either way, those traffic cameras enabled critical information to be relayed to responding backup when the trooper was unable to give it. Great resource.
Yes, tasers have two modes, Dart mode and "Stun Gun" mode, but all that I have seen of the newer series that officers have do not require the dart cartridge to be removed to use stun gun mode. I am pretty sure the second officer did use stun gun mode at least twice. Tasers actually record the time and deployment of shocks as well whether in stun or dart mode.
It's at 3min 46 7 sec he removed the cartridge!
@@AKULA689 Nope, He reached around the weapon with his free hand to either: A. Either switch modes (Older series) or B. Turn Safety off..the modules on that series are high visibility yellow. When he engaged weapon to body cartridges remained which is obvious. If he had removed the cartridges he would of had to throw/discard them, which he did not do as to keep his other hand free for use. Officers normally carry the taser opposite to their service weapon as shown, as such he used his left hand to deploy and his dominate hand to throw whatever switch he was doing for dexterity.
Yea despite calling out in the video repeatedly that no taser was deployed, the cop most definitely used the stun gun on him.
Anyone who has been through taser training recognized that the Trooper used the stun gun mode of the taser.
Unbelievable that many people just drove by while a LEO is potentially fighting for their lives......shocking...
Not shocking to me in the least. It doesn't matter what the situation is, only one out of 1000 will even slow down. People are always brave in the comments section, but in real life 99.9% of them are cowards. That's been my experience.
@@ElSantoLuchador I would be very cautious getting involved in a two person civilian situation, if it's a LEO, I'm jumping in. No way I could live with myself not helping in that situation.
The only thing the kid did wrong was resist arrest. There are no signs on the Freeway saying "No Pedestrians Allowed".
And then when he gets hit by a car who gets the blame? The family would go ballistic then sue everybody...
Great back up arrival time . Great troopers work, and radio
You don't attack or bear hug a state trooper under any circumstances.
The cop should be arrested and put in jail and the state should be sued. The gentleman was traveling. Can you walk across America? What the hell kind of country do we have anymore?
The guy may have not been "Tased" but the stun gun light was on, so it looked like he was stunned. He sure lay still even when they let go of him which is difficult to do with an Adrenalin rush. He was in the wrong and he did resist detention. LESSON: Don't walk on freeways or expressways.
Federal hwys are not free to travel as you wish, this has been the normal for many years.
Pissed me off that no passing motorist stopped to help.
People better get back in habit of listening to the cops or don’t go to jail because it’s getting real old
Great video and terrific narrator. Thanks
The two troopers show what professional policing should look like! They used appropriate force to subdue the man without letting emotion and adrenalin overtake them. Well done!
That officer took himself to the ground more than the suspect. He's lucky he didn't get hurt.
You know absolutely nothing about use-of-force. Not one effing thing. Also, you've obviously never been in a groundfight while wearing a body armor and gunbelt...and a dude probably yelling that he'll kill you. I've been a use of force investigator and I've been in groundfights. This would have been a "good shoot" if the second responding officer put a pistol to perp's head and pulled the trigger. He should have at least delivered head strikes to the perp and ended it now. O/C and Tasing often doesn't take someone out of the fight, and with a perp that intense, the fight can change direction in one second. So. Go learn something about LE, go do the job, and then say something about uses of force. Until then, well, you're just ignorant.
Best narrator voice, explanation of visuals and his slight humor and enjoyment of sharing this stop. I hope that officer knows how much I appreciate his going to the ground for us. Dude should have gotten tased so he could get a punishment at the moment he’s doing a crime. God bless us all.
It's not a LEO's job to "punish" anyone.
What's enlightening, and perhaps frightening, is the fact there are so many cameras watching our every move. Glad this worked out for everyone when it could have gone very bad, very quickly.
Your smartphone is your worst enemy. The biggest and best spy in the world.
The highways are blanketed with cameras now. It’s great that if there are any issues, breakdown, accident, etc, the traffic control center can send appropriate help to the correct spot. Added plus, traffic cameras are HD now, so the video is amazing.
Don’t Go to England.
Currently, it's frightening only to those who have every intention of breaking the law. Those of us who live law abiding lives don't (yet) have anything to fear.
@@jb6712 You explained it in a nutshell. Clearly, the police and postal employee's and dmv employee's and all government employee's must have a lot to hide. P.S. law abiding citizen's have nothing to fear if their government fear's their citizen's.
Just remember... This is how Rambo first blood started...
