The worst part is that Los Angeles was fighting to keep this vid from being released
Wonder why??
If I was this wrong and this incompetent, I likely wouldn't want the video released either.
I mean Rahm Emanuel did the same in Chicago
@@mannydabest16 is the person you mentioned a police officer or connected to the police as in a sergeant or chief? Something tells me he isn’t 🥜🤔
@@chasep1310 Well you'd be incorrect. Rahm Emanuel was the mayor of Chicago. I'm assuming he was referring to the Laquon Mcdonald murder by CPD.
These cops should be fired and criminally charged. Whoever fought the release of the video should be fired.

FACTS!!!!
Facts, i hate how the police can hide video when they are wrong, but they'll release it quick to send you to jail.
It's only hurts them how don't they see that?? they lose money from lawsuits, they lose credibility from the public. it's literally the stupidest thing they could be doing and it makes there job 100 times more dangerous. Nobody wins!
When video clears them, the police release it right away. But when it shows the officers in the wrong, they fight it forever.
What people don't understand is how just simply being arrested can destroy your life. If you don't have the money to post bail, you sit in jail. You can be fired from your job. Lots of communities have "booking logs" where your arrest is posted online and the next thing you know, your picture is being distributed around on Facebook and everyone decides you must be guilty because you were arrested. So I completely understand why someone would resist being placed in handcuffs, especially when that someone is completely innocent.
It's terrifying how the cops can just roll up on a random citizen and assault them without even giving an explanation. Just imagine standing in your front yard when two cops walk up and start grabbing at you...
They do Satan's work
innocent people get arrested all the time. its happened to me. doesn't allow you to RESIST AND FIGHT.
This so adamantly proves why bodycams are so important. And why it should be IMPOSSIBLE for the "cops" to mute or turn them off while in uniform.
They're not cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo
Cameras should continue recording for another 15 minutes after the OFF button is pressed.
The fact that the lady who called the police came out and said that's not him. & The police still arrested both of them 😮
One word: Petty.
@@Jennchannel24 They said in the video the woman who made the 911 call also came out and told them he wasn't the man.
The fact that the person they were looking for was in a restaurant 3 blocks away......
@@Jennchannel24 you need to go back and watch it.. you clearly missed important information
@@Jennchannel24 you probably work for that Police dispatcher, giving inaccurate information lmao. The woman who made the call also intervened and told the cops they got the wrong person lmao.
I think the thing I hate the most is the fact the cop randomly arrests this man without giving a single reasoning and says "jeez what's your problem"
Agreed. Like we should all as black people be perfectly willing to allow two police officers to just walk up and handcuff us when we know we haven't committed any crime and are literally just taking out the damned trash.
Right. Like he shouldn’t have a reason to want to know why he’s being arrested.
Jeez, what’s your problem? Why aren’t you bowing down and submitting to your master? Now I’m going to arrest you whether or not you’re the guy we’re looking for because you bruised my ego.
Unbelievable!
@@Disrupterds 🗣💯💯💯 thank you
You know what I noticed about these incidents? Usually when the police are wrong, they don’t apologize and stop. By stopping they’re essentially admitting their guilty and their actions were unjustified. Instead they escalate the situation to a point where now they can argue “oh the suspect was resisting”, but their resistance was a function of their escalation. So instead of backing down, these police double down and make the situation violent. Lots of ego problems
You are absolutely right. These two macho bully cops need psychiatric help.
That one word “probably” explains EVERYTHING you need to know about this situation and just about every other situation related to race relations and policing.
Speaking truth bro'.. this cop already had his mind made up the moment he spotted a Black man emptying his trash.
Lmao the cops were just detaining him to figure out whether he was the suspect or not. Being put in handcuffs doesn't necessarily mean you're going to jail, they just don't want you to run away.
They could have easily walked up to him and questioned him before putting him in handcuffs. They had their biases from the start: there’s a black man he must be the suspect/criminal. It’s always you’re guilty until proven innocent is the problem.
@@cangrejopendejo4909um hello? They didn’t even have a suspect yet tf ? Bro said “I don’t know who I’m looking for yet” and proceeds to detain a random black guy, but in your eyes the cop is in the right? Are you Forreal?
The sickest part is that people will look at the video and still defend the actions of the cop
This is AmeriKKKa
Yeah some racist people will unfortunately. 😔
@@user-bz1js7le8u Um not all White people are racist (but yeah some definitely are) I’m half White and half Native American and I’m not racist at all towards anyone.
@@michellepaul8514 eh i hate them end of story
Simply because they are rascist too.
What's even more scary is to think how many people have been wrongfully convicted before bodycams were used.
what's even MORE scary is that even tho they had body cameras on them they were STILL trying to arrest him REGARDLESS
@@RICKEYDD Because they knew they will get away with it.
@@RICKEYDD you heard the cop “What’s wrong with you?” He asked, as if the black man was the one being unreasonable. To that cop it was perfectly fine to detain a random black guy for absolutely no reason.
OMG Good point!
I’d love to see the police report of this incident. I’m 99.9% sure there’s at least one lie by the cop to justify the arrest.
But racism doesn’t exist in America! Those cops should be fired w/o pay, benefits or ever allowed to police again! This is absolutely ridiculous 🤬
This is messed up. Imagine going from confines of home & seconds later they are grabbing you like that. A person may panick. Not fair.
Body cams should automatically be uploaded to the cloud for everyone to see.
Yep, it's supposed to be public property. They release your private info on how much your house cost, and court records online. I bet police would act right if they knew this was released everyday.
Why did it take 2 YEARS to upload a bodycam video? Did they use internet explorer or something?
That's a really bad idea. There should be a system where people could get access to the bodycam footage of their encounters with police but not what you proposed. Here's a few reasons: The personal info of every person the police encouner would be leaked to the public. (Driver license, full name, address, etc) Police might be conducting sensitive activities ( surveillance, interviews, etc) And the private info of the officers would be leaked. Putting them and their families in danger.
@@j.fragoso7451 Well something needs to be put into place so that they can't hide video for 2 years.
I agree. All footage should be uploaded to an independent server not controlled by the police departments.
"We have a complaint. Let's arrest a black man. If he's not the right one, we'll charge him with resisting arrest and assault on an officer."
Exactly
Messed up beyond that is that black police officers are also a party to this kind of behaviour, it’s not white cops it’s basically all cops
@@DubzCo There is racism in the police, but before all else, you must be blue. The Chauvin case may be an indication that some police are starting to realize that they can no longer commit blatant and egregious perjury without gaining the contempt of the "civilians".
Works everytime!!!..SMH
@@hisxmark too many of them cops got that attitude them and us and us citizens are always nothing but scumbags and dirt bags to these fucking cops
This is so beyond egregious... The neighbor even ran over and was yelling "THIS ISN'T HIM! MY EX IS WHITE" and the cops still proceeded to arrest him wtf
deep
It's proof that they didn't care about catching the criminal, they just wanted an excuse to assault somebody.
Yep bullying is what they get up for.
This is why you should no longer be allowed to press charges without bodycamera footage given to the courts. if bodycams ever turn off or mute charges should be dropped for false evidence
"Why are you making me do this to you?" said every abuser ever.
Getting "Invincible" vibes from this comment
Right on!!!!100%
there is facts behind this statement sadly...
Amen!!!
@@skeeter.1017 Omni Man
At this point the woman who called the police should also be able to sue them for dereliction of duty, because instead of arresting her abuser they literally went against her plea to arrest someone else to placate their personal ego and left her to harm.
Isnt that like not a thing. Like the supreme court ruled that police dont actually have any obligation to stop crimes or catch criminals
@@chavvy9074 waitttt. What?!? I’m fake confused because what’re they supposed to be doing?
@@mauimonique Both of these guys are wrong, the Supreme Court ruled that cops have no obligation to protect you. Meaning they could watch you get killed and the only thing they need to do is arrest the suspect when they’re done.
@@b_ail1999 OMG. I need to go read this. That just sounds... *speechless*
@@b_ail1999 TF? Then why are they being paid by taxpayers money for? When a system places more importance on incarcerating over preventing crimes, that's a clear obvious sign of system catering to for profit prison systems. So again, why is taxpayer money going to a system that only benefits to generate profit for prisons?
What a disgrace.
And this is why I don't feel bad when I see violence against cops.
It's crazy he had to fight for two years to get this video released.
Lisa mearkle hummelstown pa she killed a man over a traffic stop after tazing him multiple times she walked justice for kassicks
@Lynelle Ginsel Yes, the couple's attorney had to sue the city and PD to get the footage released. The PD said that the footage paints the Department in a poor light and would erode public trust. I was like, "Ya Think! ".
The police investigation their own mistakes. There is no checks and balances system fir the police and that’s the problem.
Like the Bible says "What's done in the dark will be brought into the light" They tried to keep it in the dark for two years and got exposed.
two years? yeah no fucking problems here. cops wonder why they got a bad rep
The craziest part is that they know they’re being recorded and they still do it. Where is accountability?
Nowadays the cops don't have accountability because their superiors will cover for them the only difference now is that there's camera footage
BECAUSE ITS NOT WRONG TO THEM. ITS ACCEPTABLE. WHAT IS THERE TO BE AFRAID OF?????
@@dericmitchell46 its because video doesn't matter, other cops will cover for them, and the officers won't get punished. Even if things go to trail the jury in most cases side with the police, or give them a slap on the wrist.
When the city is picking up the tab, you can do whatever you want!
Yeah like 0 fuc****** given , that’s how bad the world is .
$10 will b the best apology
Wow. That's crazy. I hope you get justice.
to everyone that says "they should've complied", you should be bewildered a person taking out trash is being suspected of anything just because of the color of his/her skin. this is just plain wrong.
That is the dumbest argument towards racial profiling..."is that him?" "Probably" "I don't know who I'm looking for" were all things said during a completely wrongful arrest... Not to mention that he could've died...🤦🏾♂️
@FBI i didn't say to fight them smart a$$. i said it's just plain wrong that you can't take out your rubbish peacefully because of the colour of your skin. imagine a caucasian american being detained/handcuffed like that? not so much aye?
Of course the FBI would stand up for an officer racially profiling a guy taking out the trash. 😂😂😂 I thought y'all were supposed to uphold the law. What happened to the 4th amendment?
@FBI ahhh another account made last month spewing nonsense sounds about white
By law even if he had to use deadly force he could fight back. Learn the law people you can fight back physically. Or use a gun if you have one. They are doing this cause people are scared to fight a guy back with a gun.
“What is your problem” -Cop. The one the cop should be asking that to is himself..
Dr Rick Pickles
THAT remark just about had me out of my chair! They are running up on this poor guy, roughing him up, putting cuffs on him, with not even the remotest probable cause and they're asking HIM "what is your problem?"?!?!?!?
They are drunk with power and on drugs.
It pisses me off. Those two cops will get what's coming to them one day.
Telling the man to calm down as he’s trying to handcuff him wit absolutely no information as to y he’s being cuffed I know that he was charged with resisting, failing to do what he was told to do by authorities 🤔this world and the gang that black men must and always fear. These folks can change ur life in under 3mins
This angers me so much.
He said Idk who I’m looking for yet 😂😂😂😂😂
The worst part is the caller came out and said that Austin wasn't the guy and the police continued to arrest him.
Isn't that so crazy??
You'll notice a trend of police in the US, when proven wrong, doubling down and digging in harder. Their egos won't let them stop and admit a mistake.
@@nankavanagh and they don't like when they get called scumbag pigs
And they arrested her* both got arrested.
Because he abused the officers. All would have gone away had he maintained his cool and just answered who he was and that he was not the person they were looking for. Instead he blew up and got physical with the officers which only got more heated. Austin won't win in court but he'll settle with the city's insurance firm.
"Is this him" "Probably" That says it all right there.
@Dave Griffin this is a serious case but that dave chappelle reference had me dying lmao
When you put it that way, I can't help but laugh & cry at the same time! lol like it's so unbelievable but IT'S REAL!!!! They really said meh let's take this one 🤷♀️🤦♀️😂😭😔😔😔
No I think it was more like" Hes black that has to be him, Case closed
i mean... In reality its a dude outside of the house that just called the police... if that woman was home why was she calling the police about a domestic disturbance 3 blocks away at a restaurant?
The cops lost all benefit of the doubt for continuing the detainment *after multiple people told them they had the wrong person.* At that point, *they are knowingly allowing the actual suspect to escape!*
Imagine even they didn't have a gun and a taser. He would've never approached him the way he did but that's what becoming a cop is now and days , you get to do whatever you desire as long as your gun and taser is on you.
“What is your problem, dude?” Uh, you’re arresting a stranger for no good reason, that’s the problem, dude.
😆🤣lol
That is a problem!
@John Maxwell STFU TROLL
Because they are Racist
"Who are you looking for?" " I don't know who i'm looking for." You can't make this up
The saddest part is...you don't have to.
You really can’t 🤦🏾♂️
He was looking for the black man taking out his trash cause he has got to be hiding something maybe a dead body.😢😢 LAPD did the same to my brother the description that the person gave compared to my brother was so off my brother was taller and way bigger but black man in the wrong neighborhood or when they saw him coming through our side gate and walked back there no permission with guns drawn we thought no one lived here are you serious.
Looks more like the Gestapo just grabbing people off the Streets than anything to do with American policing and justice. this is happening in a supposedly free country .what is the motto supposed to be . Innocent until Proven guilty' Seems the cops are holding court out in the field. think it is above their pay scale .
Officers are insane 😂
This is much more sinister than racial profiling.... the caller told the spiteful cops that the man being arrested is NOT the suspect...
That's so messed up
realize how easy kidnapping is becoming- just become a “police officer”
Been knowing it
Right thats why they screen u when u apply
@@michaelhenderson8271 they don’t screen enough.
You don't think they were bribed to do this? Probably told the cops it was a prank
DISINFORMATION!!
"I don't know who I'm looking for yet" ... but you'll do for now... outrageous! 😠
Lmao
Damn that's the perfect comment.
Any N word will do right
@@amijamcangirl8818 😤😔😠😡🤬 sadly but it seems so
The suspect the lady called in and the description she gave was of a white male. Such bs
I quote “I don’t know who I’m looking for …” but continues to arrest him 🤦🏾♂️
Sue the hell out of em!!
When he said “probably” that says everything about his mindset
You nailed it mike...!
Literal dirt bag
Exactly.
“What is your problem?” Mmmm “Im getting arrested, based on stereotypes and you being lazy to actually do your job”!!!! This is horrible.
Right so true. How the hell their assume a black man knowing it was a white guy? They should have go to in the first place. And their with to the wrong place and wrong person. Then look stupid and being idiot's . Oh no we don't know he is the right one but nevertheless let's get him anyway & continue to harrassed and force unlawfully arrest against him anyway , yeah oh let's get this white lady too because she betrayed her own people and she is defending this black person. Oh No we need to arrest her unlawfully as well. Oops, thata how I see it and view the video, the two couples need to get more than just 3 millions their need more than just that. And yeah it's crazy and stupid for them to believe they going to get any apologies for the police department nor why even expect them to apologize to y'all in the first place? Hell you and your girlfriend should just focus on getting yall money and get justice ! That's the main goals, reason and results yall should be focused on!? Even if their do decide to apologize to y'all ots going to be fake and there's no excuse for these cops behavior and mistreated innocent citizens whatsoever. And the Police department should ne ashamed of themselves for having people looe that working for them.
This is beyond being lazy.
@@gabrielhughes8221 they didn't even have a suspect description which means they might not have even know if they should've been looking for a male or female of any race. At no point did these goofballs call dispatch for a description. I don't think anyone leaves this life without personally knowing someone with at least one bad interaction with the cops. Just wish I knew sometimes else to do to start changing things
And the actual criminal got away. And the police didn't care.
@@shawnjonesjr4388Oh I agree . But this one what happen here, shouldn't happen to anyone. How these so called cop's say at the beginning on this video. Its sad and wrong. And I wish that all police department records & law enforcement would show All cops actions before their even getting out of their car to investigate. It will show us citizens do cops really & honestly got the right person to investigate in the first place!? Just like on here. These cops own words & behavior got them in trouble and let's everyone knows what their was doing wasn't right nor correct whatsoever.
IT'S NOT AN MYSTERY, IT'S HISTORY
They should sue the daylights of them
"Is this the dude?“ "Probably“. This is exactly the problem we’re talking about and complaining about.
Dude seeing cops. "are these thugs part of a gang ? " ............. "probably " . If cops don't want to be profiled they should stop profiling folks.
Presumption is the lowest form of knowledge .. and when you play on it .. it bite's you back .. because having presumption is having no foundation of a situation .. you Americans live in Nazi Germany .. for you never what tomorrow brings .. going to the shop to get bread 🥪🍞 one day may find yourself behind bars .. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS ?🤔
and they deny racial profiling... the fck is wrong with these people??
The officer: "What is your prooobleeem duuude?" Unbelievable. false arrest, is the new law? Officers were looking for a white male. As a white person, I feel justice was served for this innocent black person.
I don't know why we are always blaming things on race. If we would just be polite and respectable the cops would be nice to us. Don't know were they get that mess from unless they are racist. This is our life. They are WS that get their kicks from beating and killing us.
Bruh, the audacity of the cop asking “what is your problem?” 🤣😂😭
Exactly smh
Riiiight
Exactly, it was like he was saying this a normal thing for him to get arrested. You know whats going on here. Just let me violate your rights like I do everyday to others. SMFH. 🤬
It’s either that or the new ‘stop resisting’ even if they are not resisting.
Bruh 😂😂 these punk police are Out of Control!!
So the lady said it’s not him and they still arrested him?
Cop says what is your problem? Uhh bro your putting me in handcuffs and I haven’t done a damn thing! What’s your problem
Responding to a domestic violence call, they decided that the abuser took a moment to take out trash in the midst of assaulting someone. That makes no sense.
sad thing is they'll just have taxpayers pay out for the damages and the officers, might lose their jobs or most likely get transferred to a new place. They just do what the catholic church does with problematic priests. Just move them around. Disgusting practices and we deserve much better from officers.
Not really. If the guy lives there and has finished slapping his bf/bf, the trash still needs to be taken out. I suppose you imagine domestic violence goes on for hours and hours with lots of screaming.
@@Cheepchipsable Having had neighbors in an apartment building, I can tell you that yes, yes it does go on for hours. And days. And weeks. And months. These couples never learn. All of that, of course, has nothing to do with this guy. He didn't do anything except be black. I'm only saying that these domestic violence people fight, All. The. Time.
Good point, if I'm assaulting someone then I'll be like "You're taking out the trash!" I mean what's the point of assaulting someone if you're gonna still take out the trash.
Attempted taking out da trash 🗑
This is wild. Basically the police have free reign to do whatever
If you're black. If you are white and have money or connections that officer loses his job.
Damn right!! POS!!
Yes.
This is a fucked up world I feel like officers should go through a background check or something to decide if they’re good or bad because I can’t stand officers and the fact they only want that gold star and just abusing their badge Wtf Is happening in our world :(
Exactly! There is no one to police the police
If no description, why arrest someone? If he fitted a description, then I would understand.
Should have sued for more then 3million
It’s really sad that it took 2 years for the truth to be revealed.
They smother all evidence to suppress the truth for years.
When they say we will investigate it ourselves they mean if the videos looks bad hold on to it until people forgot or don’t care anymore and if it’s good arrest or shooting release it as soon as possible.

@Phuk In-Yomam huh wym?
Obviously they knew that those cops violated that poor man's civil rights which is why the LAPD was fighting against this video being released to the public!
It makes me agitated that they can't simply apologize to them.
The department would rather spend ten million taxpayer dollars instead of give a free apology.
This is outrageous just because a woman called the police all he was doing was emptying his garbage he ought to sue the police
Crazy she didn't even give a description . In their mind the black man is the boogie man .

You’re under arrest for resisting arrest!
That's his right to not only resist but to kill those two cops life and liberty
These officers don't realize how stupid they sound
Ugh. Don't resist, as that gives the cops a reason to beat/kill you. Just verbalise that it's an illegal arrest, get a good lawyer and work it out in court.
He doesn’t know who he is looking for yet but…..you are arresting him…interesting
We need an update
@henryrivera9816 In 2021, Antone Austin (the man wrongfully arrested while taking out his trash), settled with the LAPD for an undisclosed amount $$. He sued them for $3 million but the $$ amount that he settled _for,_ was never released to the public.
When you’re only charge is resisting arrest you know you’ve been screwed over
100%, shit always gets thrown out too if you fight it in court. Especially in the manner he did.
Doesn't even ask his name "turn around." "I live here" "okay idk who I'm looking for yet." "Turn around."
And then the cop says "what's your problem bro?" Like being arrested for taking out the trash is a routine thing that everyone should expect and casually accept.😒
@@kikilicious99 that's what I mean, he could have ended up a # for nothing.

Thank you officer for keeping that neiborhood safe

Sad.
The lady who made the call tried her best to say he isn't the man she called on but at that point the police felt like they had to prove a point to the innocent guy for daring to resist.
I dont know if its their training or not, but police officers can never just say they are wrong and move on. They always double down no matter how ridiculous it looks.
@@ecclairmayo4153 that's part of the training, they know how to get people to self incriminate and they know to protect themselves from it as well. We need to reform the police system top down.
Why didn’t she say, my man is WHITE???
eeerrr...I’m no detective, but I haven’t heard of many criminals who stop to put out the trash before fleeing. Thumbs down to the cops in this one. 👎
You would think someone at your age would do the responsible thing and say no matter what happens do what the police ask you to do and whatever happens they can fight it from there but you and other clowns like you make it all about race when it should be DO NOT RESIST ARREST let the cops do what they have to do in this case they would’ve asked a few questions then been released once confirmed this wasn’t the suspect Ridiculous
The Police feel threatened. What a joke.. What a broken system..
The coproaches won't apologize even though they were in the wrong because in a court of law that would be an admission of guilt.
They’re not good at taking their hands OFF of people.
Well maybe they shouldn't be police officers.
If they felt threatened they shouldn't be a police in the first place.
System is not broken, it's working the way it was designed!!!
He doesn't even deserve this
I've literally was arrested like this by two cops when I was 18 across the street from my house. Came up to me the same way and when I asked what I was being arrested for they refused to say so of course I resisted like this. Once they cuffed me and put me in the car they did all sorts of tests because they thought I had to be on drugs for it to take 2 officers like 15min to get me down(Was sober and pumped full of that good adrenaline) Then they had the balls to ask why I resisted and told them what would you do if you were being arrested knowing you haven't done anything and not being told why. They had no response just writing. Then get this they tell me what I'm going to jail for they tried to pin me with was resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. The "assault" was because while I was resisting we eventually ended up on the ground and apparently the officers got a couple bad scrapes from the cement. Also had the balls to ask if I was ok. Had to be bailed out by fam no money for anything but a public defender. Wrote a whole letter to the judge saying what happened and that if they charge me I will blow this up. Showed up to court public defender wasn't there and the Judge dismissed the case. Sad thing is this wasn't the last time this has happened. Should have sued both times but I was young 18/19 no money, scared, and the assumption which at the time was pretty accurate people didn't care enough to hear about it
Cry harder bitch boy. Sound like you hit man handle and didn’t like it 🤣
Damn that's crazy 😯😟 at 18? Now I'm scared
I'd love to see how these cops would react if a bunch of armed strangers just approached them on the street and started making accusations against them...
This is what errodes trust in LEO'S and the law enforcement PROFESSION.
What a scum bag. Even after the woman told them he’s not the one, they still arrested him as a matter of pride, “finish what you started” Hope they get millions for this and the cops get fired.
Real Talk
They always have a point to prove even if they are wrong. Even when you know parts law, they gab you anyway then slink off to the next victim. Often they don't apologize when their profiling is incorrect. I was for sure profiled SEVERAL times where the cops made me consent to a search to see if they could find something. One time I got a pen & paper ready to write down a name & badge number. The officer dropped my ID thru the window, into my lap & left without apologizing or saying I was free to go. Cops seem to have a problem profiling black people in general, it don't matter the race of the cop. I can say from experience, as a black woman, I have received more disrespect from black cops as opposed to ones who were not.
@BakedPo Tato which was payback for some moe shit so ur point is?
Definitely
@BakedPo Tato you seem like a great person, but what does Jan 6th 2021 have to do with this?
I'm just relieved to not see a single comment trying to justify their actions. I'm grateful to see so many viewers not take the side of the abusive policemen for a change. I'm happy to read comments that did not say, "He should have complied" or "They were just trying to do their job". You have no idea how making the victims of police brutality the problem causes added heart break to those who have experience similar treatment. So thank you all... for not abusing them verbally on top of everything else. Seriously, Thanks.
so when someone says god bless america think twice
I love how the officers blame the victim, “what’s your problem man” “ why are you making me do this to you“ It’s like what happens when you let bullies run the school.
They not bullies punks with guns, take the gun away and they run back to the suburbs.
Thats what perverts say to their victims
it’s what abusers do to survivors
More of the; why did we let cops every do thought policing in first place? People go on and on how bad this is; but never push to get rid of the laws that enabled this behavior. See: terry stop, stop and frisk, stop and ID laws. Get rid of those; this problem goes away over night. Instead its always based on "those 1-2 LEOs should be fired!". All and all; who gives a fuck about 1 case; what about the 300,000 others? Hold the law makers, accountable for the BS they created. They have the power to stop this immediately; at least at the state level.
@@Aerogrow unfortunately that’s not 100% true. Many of these laws come from something even deeper. The Supreme Court created qualified immunity which prevents police from being prosecuted unless super supreme conditions are met. As far as politicians go we the people are partly responsible because we have power over those politicians. There are a lot of good police officers out there who want to do great things. But those officers are too oftenly harmed and abused by the “bad apples” which we try to categorize as the few but are the few they destroy them all.
And these are just the videos that actually get released, imagine the THOUSANDS we've never even seen. I hope he and his girlfriend win millions in their lawsuit.
@@uncommonsense7399 It's all so disgusting that even now with social media getting the actual proof out there in everyone's face, to finally have to acknowledge how awful life is for anyone of color or mental illness, yet the comment sections are full of people agreeing with or defending the fucking pigs. Still. I've lost all hope in humanity. Stay safe, man.
They better this is unlawful
No, Millions that do not get released
It will be many videos of blacks doing the opposite of what they ask. I don't like cops but always Do WHAT THE FUCK THEY ASK "
@@TheThemattyo1 but that dont apply to white people tho... coz cops let white people do wtf ever they want
I can't wait until individual officers get sued
So the person who actually called the cops comes outside and says it’s not the person they’re harassing and they still wanna arrest the man and his girl. Lol. Make it make sense
Imagine those people who are arrested wrongfully & we don't get to see the footages 😡🤬
There is a lot.
I think it was Chris Rock who recently wrote that the shit we're seeing now has always happened, it's just finally being caught on camera.
@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley - I think it was Will Smith who said that.
@@apolloreed4972 right and ultimately charged with assault and resisting arrest...
Alot of ppl in jail actually cool :)
3:51 “that’s why body cams are important” yeah until they decide they don’t wanna release the footage.
They want every car to have visible plates but their body cams are a secret.
Shit they can mute them whenever they want as well 🤦🏿♂️
That sounds like a 10 million dollar case to me. Each.
Unbelievable this is going on today.
So they wasted time on the arresting the wrong person when the actual victim of domestic violence went without help.
They were so hell bent on their prejudices that they let the actual abuser go even while the actual victim is telling them that they were arresting the wrong man.
This!This is what always bugs me, innocent people die and the real criminals go free to commit another crime what even is the point of the police!!!
It's not even about wasting time either the fact that they were being violent and hurting them is so traumatizing
That's because they rather anybody be out victimizing people as long as their not black
Even worst. The lady that called 911 was right there telling them that they had the wrong person.
I hope they win HUGE. This is just inexcusable
It’s not about money. It’s about stopping this
@@HelloTardis Money incentivizes stopping it.
@@palmshoot no it doesn't. Taxpayers have paid billions in this country due to police misconduct and it still happens
When a cop acts outside of police policy, then he should be charged like anyone else. So, in this case since the cops didn't even have a description, then they should be charged...and convicted... of assault and battery. Then this behavior would stop.
@@shermandudley5548 In some other comment, someone suggested that the money should be taken out of their pensions; money would most certainly incentivize in that case. You could even go a step further and pull money from the pensions of all officers in the department, increasing the chance that more cops will stop bad actors.
I hope he got every penny he was sueing them for.
I get the feeling that they handcuff people immediately so that they don't have time nor the ability to take their phones out and start recording.
Imagine all the tapes that haven’t been released...
imagine all the incidents that haven't been taped
Imagine dragons
Or the ones that don’t get recorded by body cams because the police have the ability to turn their cameras on and off at will. Cops and their unions are the biggest organized gang of thugs in the US. Imagine any other criminals being able to turn off surveillance and CCTV before robbing a bank. Insane!! These fuckers are drunk on their own power and are accountable to no one, except their co-workers. Whatta joke!!
This is a “clear case” of kidnapping, and they should be charged!
Funny thing is, in the UK a woman got "kidnapped" and killed by a cop. So imagine if cops want to kill people this way.
DISINFORMATION from a Trump supporter!
@@DmadPs a California serial killer turned out to be a police officer. Makes you wonder how many ‘unsolved’ murder cases are actually police officers
@@anashe11 Yeah, it does, doesn’t it? If you’re an idiot.
@@ErroneousMonk1 Genuinely explain to be how so when cops cover for each other all the time? Golden state killer was a cop that was only found through DNA, your the naive one if you think all police are really there to just protect and serve
This makes my blood boil like wtf. How are these people cops???
This really pisses me.off
“I don’t know who I’m looking for yet” But any Black man will do for now
That’s ****** up ! But u right any black man will do. 🤦🏽♂️
It’s been like this for years !!!
And nobody is even shocked about it anymore... Which is super fucked up
@Ima White what wtf are u saying?? There’s no white ppl in black neighborhoods? Hispanics?? Or even the fact that the person who called them are telling the police they had the wrong guy🤨🤔
@Ima White How many White males need proper identification to take out their trash?
"Turn around man, what is your problem dude" Really? You walk up to this guy out of the blue and try to put hand cuffs on him. And think he should just be cool with it and smile at you.
White people believe this is how we should act
'tis how Authoritarian states work.🤭
That's what KILLS me. And the people who insist you just do what you're told, are the VERY same ones who scream about patriotism and their FREEDUMMMS!
@@vicjose I don't. Fuck those cops. I hope they get fired and never work as cops again.
@@ASparkleross Exactly.
"Just comply".... no. Nobody understand the feeling of being subdued and having handcuffs put on you especially when you did nothing wrong.
Glad to hear he is suing them.
Those who said that they shouldve just agreed to be arrested, they should be also treated the same way when they take out the trash and see their reaction
Exactly! This is not a damn police state! Makes me sick to see these incidents happening again and again!
This is the reason why I clap when the pastor kicked these Nazis out of his church.
Eh I would still obey and cooperate better than hurt or dead. Especially if I am innocent, I have nothing to hide. Fighting back just makes you look guilty to be honest.
@@brettk9316 So two cops hop out of a car and immediately tell you to turn around and you will just obey no questions asked, just yessa boss and turn around?! You do realize the police work for you right? Last time someone told me to just do what they say was when I used to live in a gang neighborhood and they were talking about when a gang member runs up on you
I think this is actually pretty rare, just saying. A population of 300+ million there's going to be some shitty officers.
Girlfriend: That's not him officers! LAPD: Shut up ma'am! We'll decide who you called us about!
Slight correction: His girlfriend and the neighbor who called about her boyfriend (who happens to be white) are two different people. But I get where you were going tho. Still a messed up situation.
- Slight correction 2 the correction: I think you missed the part where they said - Even the woman who made the original 911 call showed up and can be seen in the video and said that is not the suspect, yet they continued to arrest the two others. . . . But I know where you were trying to go though. . . .
Woman who called the cops: No really, that’s not him! LAPD: Well now we’re mad that this innocent black man is resisting arrest so we’re going to arrest him anyway and his girlfriend too for wasting our time.
I live in Los Angeles, long known for its militarized policing. This happens all the time, but we are only now seeing video proof. You can see why some people take great satisfaction, when cops are hurt, wrong as that is
Good they need to sue and the officers need to be fired and charged
“What u in here for?” The guy: “taking out the trash”
more like "for being black"
Not funny but can't help but laugh
What, did you kill a child molester? Nah, man. Like trash trash. That’s it. Just taking out my trash.
@@josephhautzenroeder7512 😂😂😂like fr yo this shyt crazy
Yooooo im dyin......😹😹😹its not funnie but the comment caught me off guard
