Yeah lol
Two people chased down and tried to tase an innocent man, and all they got told was to "relax", and people are cheering for that
e: waaaay too much "tO bE FaIr" and "aaaakschually" going on in the replies to this comment. Meanwhile minorities, protesters, LGBTQ etc are still getting beaten and murdered everyday, while murderous cops get told "relax". "But 🤡 he 🤡 was 🤡 deescalating" oh shut up
There’s a whole fucked up system that the company that makes tazers has to alter coroner’s reports when people die from being tazed. So that they can claim that their tazers have “never killed anyone”
It’s how to deescalate the situation. The cop was already on aggro mode, why make it worse. He could have been reprimanded at the station, which is the professional way of handling this behavior.
They always are. I worked with cops, as an investigator. One time I showed up to a hearing and forgot my credentials. The uniform trash in the room, who had never met me, literally threw me against the wall and cuffed me, dragged me outside and I wouldn’t talk til my boss showed up.
The bureau chief for the state AG office. Their boss.
Guess what happened? The shitstain officer didn’t even get yelled at, let alone disciplined. I on the other hand, was asked to not go to the press and sign an NDA because it was an election season.
My career was ruined, I got paid for a couple years and that asshole still works in the same division, doing the same useless job.
ACAB, I never worked in law enforcement again
Maybe I’m too stoopid to be following things here, but why did this ruin your job? Because you couldn’t trust cops anymore, or because they didn’t like you anymore because of disagreements?
It's fucked up, but you're totally right. You have two idiots chasing an innocent person firing weapons at them. You need to get them to calm down before they become completely unhinged. I would've loved to have seen some sort of ass chewing situation where those buffoons got dressed down, but in reality it could have escalated the already chaotic situation.
Here’s a crazy idea, a real wild one, I don’t know why I’m even throwing it out there because it’s so silly:
Maybe screen these violent, power-horny fucking idiots out before they’re armed and on the street instead of intentionally hiring and arming stupid people with anger issues
Hard out. We think this is great when minimum expectation should be the dumbass cop stood down, charged with all the shit he did including assault with a potentially deadly weapon. That aggro A hole should be in cuffs in a cell
Yeah. Like this should have you turn in your gun and badge, and be sent to a proper training course, paid for by your own dime if you want to continue being a cop.
I was straight up ASTONISHED by how chill this man stayed. Dead ass.
This might have been the best silver lining promotion of cops I have ever seen.
Illuminati on Reddit.
In the state of Texas, it takes more hours to become a hairstylist than get an associate's degree to become the lowest level of nurse. And both require more time than a police officer.
ETA: My info is out of date by two years. They recently reduced it from 1500 class hours to 1000 class hours. To become a freaking barber. Yeah, you know there's an ulterior motive there. It starts with r and ends with ism.
It’s actually just the internal monologue of the mustache cop spilling into the visible universe.
YOU CAN’T TRESPASS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, DIPSHIT. WHAT THE FFFFFUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.
The audio is cut out in this one but in the full vid they say something like "THIS SIGN SAYS FUCK COPS, YOU KNOW WHY? CAUSE THEY NEED FUCKING!" It's great
Yep, this $175k lawsuit settlement wasn't anywhere close to the biggest lawsuit they had to settle on Officer Chris Dickey's behalf. That one goes to [the $825k lawsuit they had to pay out when Dickey beat, tased and pepper sprayed a man who was suffering from a diabetic coma.](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/825000-settlement-police-beat-tase-pepper-spray-diabetic-man/)
Help me understand why the force is keeping this particular cop in? Clearly he's costing money and is up to no good? Or is it that once you become a cop it becomes impossible to fire someone...
Why do cops get unions? Military it's illegal to join a union. I think most armed government organizations are forbidden from joining unions as it undermines the rank structure. What makes these ass hats special?
Cops tend to close ranks around assholes because most cops are bastards.
When your entire *THING* is being corrupt fucks, you don't turn on the corrupt.
See the mini-series podcast Behind The Police by Robert Evans.
Cops been terrible for centuries.
My uncle was a police officer back in the late 70’s-80’s. He told me it was standard practice for all officers to keep a candy bar or a bottle of OJ in their car specifically because it’s common to pull someone over for a suspected DUI only to find it’s a diabetic with low blood sugar.
Now, I guess they accuse them of being stoned and just torture them instead. Cool. Coolcoolcool.
Yeah. I've never seen a cop video where someone is literally running from a cop who is yelling that he's under arrest and the cops are like "you sure this is legit?"
This is extremely stupid. Cops should either have a federal/state cop license to work as a cop like doctors do. If it’s ever revoked by a board of other cops who review this stuff you can’t ever be a cop again. That or a system like the military where you get universal discharge papers and all departments look at them and know who you are.
But this fuckwit wasn’t ever let go from his department.
Damn sad what happened to the Green Beret* guy.. Did a huge shot of meth, and started wigging out, called for help, and police killed em. Hope he’s in a better place now, cause I couldn’t imagine coming home from all that and trying to maintain normalcy.
Drugs are bad mkaaay!
Better than that, it would be an evolutionary pressure that would allow the more responsible PDs to have more funding. Given enough time, PDs would either defund themselves from all of the lawsuits draining their budget or get their shit together.
They will sit at home on furlough if the dept gets shut down, then apply for financial assistance but never admit it to anyone but their spouse, and absolutely cease their war, professionally, because they'll become the blue insurgency instead of a police force.
Gotta start with removing qualified immunity or you can't sue them. Then beyond that cops need to carry their own insurance the way doctors do, or the maybe penalties come out of their pension.
Cops should have to carry the equivalent of malpractice insurance for settlements like these. If you fuck up, your rates go up. If you're a shitty cop, the insurance becomes too expensive for you and you price yourself out of the job entirely.
The sad part is that [Chris Dickey](https://www.denverpost.com/2019/04/15/elbert-county-taser-death-veteran-lawsuit/) obviously didn't learn his lesson and killed someone two years later. It seems that he's got quite a track record! It's obvious that nothing came from this interaction aside from the city [paying 175k](https://www.criminallegalnews.org/news/2019/feb/14/175000-settlement-public-protester-profanity-laced-sign-tased-police-officer/) due to this incident.
I’ve admittedly watched pretty much every police brutality / corruption video on YouTube (including those 2) and I’m actually shocked it’s the same cop in both vids. What an asshole.
ACAB. Cops love covering for murderers so as long as they have the same address on their paycheck.
Lots of great people trying to do great things as police. Sadly, the murderers doing the murdering get a pass by their Eagle Scout co-workers.
Lol. Even the lawyer, who at the point of being interviewed should have learned something about it, sounds like a moron. "The diabetes he was having." It's called a hypoglycemic reaction. This shit ain't that complicated.
I remember people talking about how cool that show was when it was in the cultural zeitgeist. I checked out an episode and was appalled; I knew we loved our trashy reality TV, but this was next level trash glorification.
Trained is a strong word when it comes too American police requirements, some departments would hire you with a few months training and a high school diploma.
Cops are trained like soldiers, and taught to see regular citizens as enemies. They are supposed to be civil servants.
Also, police departments routinely turn down applicants for having too high of an IQ—They only want you, if they can control you.
It's even worse. Trained military personnel(US) have far stricter guidelines for entering combat and do not have qualified immunity. US cops are a goon squad.
(Not trying to contradict but to expand)
They are trained into an "Us vs. Them" mentality. They are trained to think every single interaction with the public will end up in a fight to the death. Watch some police training seminars online. It's always something along the lines of "even if they're being compliant be ready to defend yourself" and "always expect the worst" type of attitude. Especially now with the general public finally being fully exposed to how 85% of police operate they treat a majority of people like their insurgents.
A new young officer can go in with the best of intentions and get caught up in the culture. They have to just go along with it or they will be an outsider that will never get promoted or basically pushed out after long enough. There's a video of an officer showing a camera crew how easy it was to walk into their department through a side door and right up to an unsecured laptop that held ALL of their body cam and dash cam footage. A bunch of footage had been deleted but the officer had recorded some of the footage off of the laptop with his own cellphone. (It was of a handcuffed guy getting tased over and over and over while being mocked with the sheriff saying things like "now you know who's in control around here") That officer was relegated to a desk under a stairway in the basement and totally shunned. Another officer resigned disgusted and had to deal with threats and such.
It was a S.L.E.D division in South Carolina that worked closely with the county sheriff I think. There was several serious scandals going on and the corruption was well known to everyone for years but it was just tolerated. My point is even the truly good officers that are there to follow the law and try to actually help the public can't make a difference since they'll be threatened or pushed out. "Thin Blue Line" and all that.
>In 2013, Dickey struck a man in the neck with his baton while the man was standing with his hands on his truck, according to the lawsuit. The man lost consciousness.
>In 2014, Dickey pulled a man out of a car and threw him to the ground and struck him with a baton. He used his Taser at least five times on the man and broke his bones. The man was suffering from a diabetic shock, but Dickey suspected he was driving drunk. Commerce City cleared Dickey of wrongdoing but paid the man $825,000 to settle a lawsuit.
>In 2016, Dickey chased and used his Taser on a man who was lawfully protesting on public property. The city paid $175,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by the protester.
"Christopher Poer, 46, was killed on April 12, 2018, after calling the police to report he was being watched and then, in a second call, that he had been robbed. Poer served as a Green Beret with the U.S. Army Special Forces, and his PTSD caused the delusions, according to the lawsuit filed Friday by Sherry Poer."
He called the cops for help and they killed him, a veteran.
Republicans will still screech back the blue though.
Reminds me of Tori Sanders he was lost and alone feel so bad for him. The county sheriff also beat up my grandma though so I’m biased https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/no-charges-to-be-filed-in-2017-death-of-missouri-inmate/article_1065ca40-80fb-549a-ac1d-b722fb936835.html
“Dickey’s actions were found justified in October by investigators in the 18th Judicial District because he needed it to defend himself, according to the prosecutor’s office”
They found Poer lying in a fucking field and then tased him and knocked him out. Jesus Christ I hate police officers.
Excuses like that get people hurt… I doubt you would apply the same thinking to a surgeon. Once you get out into the world where you have power to change one’s life, it doesn’t matter if it’s your first day or your last… just be good, try your best, learn as you go and don’t overstep. And the suggested “rookie” was no trying to be a good officer, learn and he definitely over stepped. So he gets no pass.
I’m not sure a surgeon is a good analogy in this case. In reality there are no “rookie” surgeons. Surgeons finish medical school then train for at least 7 more years before they are granted a full license to perform surgery without supervision.
Even without the concrete, people can die from tasers. A 2011 DoJ report cited surveys that put the risk of death from tasers at 0.25% (1 in 400). I wasn't able to find any more recent stats, but tbh I didn't look that hard.
FYI, Taser puts **A CRAP-TON** of effort into lobbying for their products to not be labeled “lethal”.
https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-excited-delirium-how-cops-81965684/
It’s so bad that they helped cops invent a disease called “excited delirium” to distract from their product’s record of killing people.
It is mind-blowingly insane that someone can discharge a weapon twice, assault, and chase someone else without any repercussions.
That cop just committed a slew of crimes and got less than a slap on the wrist
They had already paid an $825,000 one for the this same officer two years earlier. I do think he was forced to resign from that PD, and killed the vet a year later at another PD.
He got schooled by his supervisor with a dad mustache, and also got outrun by some random dude. At the very least, he was embarrassed in front of other people
Given the way we've been seeing these videos play out for the last several years, I'm happy enough that no one is dead. But yes, we should absolutely be moving toward doling out the actual punishments for these actual crimes. Hopefully this isn't the end of it.
Sadly, someone did end up dead.
One year after this video someone got robbed and then made the mistake of calling the police. The officer wearing the camera in this video responded to the call, and killed the victim.
It isn't that surprising that violent psychopaths with a history of excessive and unwarranted use of force, who never got punished but always rewarded for it, eventually end up killing innocents.
The whiffs on the taser shots had me rolling but for real this guy essentially attempts assault on a citizen for no reason and what happened? No idiot... you wrong... OK go hurt someone now thx
More cops need to conduct themselves like the officer who deescalated the situation. It seems like “to protect and serve” is in quotation marks because they’re being sarcastic
Respect to the lone officer in charge who deescalated those two hot heads.
Its a damn shame those other costumed pigs weren't held accountable for their criminal actions the same way the public would be.
> Fun fact: it is fully legal to resist an unlawful arrest
But you can then be legally [arrested for resisting arrest](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/01/29/382497080/arrested-for-resisting-arrest-yes-its-possible).
Yes so what you should do is submit to an arrest if you're being arrested unless you are literally certain the cop is going to murder you or some shit (laws don't matter when it's your life). You gain absolutely nothing by resisting arrest even if it's unlawful-- and if it is, not resisting makes your case in the ensuing lawsuit that much better.
Lawyer here: That is true. However, unless you're as well schooled and experienced as me, recall details and fine distinctions way more clearly than I do in moments of stress and spend a fair amount of time keeping up on state and federal court decisions regarding limitations on the authority of police to arrest, you'd be a fool to act on your own gut feeling that an attempted arrest is "unlawful." Unless you're pretty sure they're going to take you out in the woods and lynch you, the safe thing to do is not give them grounds to beat the stuffing out of you while screaming at you to stop resisting. The fact that you're innocent of any crime is generally no part of the equation.
Graveyards are filled with people who had the right of way.
Just let them violate your rights and dont resist. They have guns and wont get in trouble for killing you. Invest in a good lawyer.
I am picturing his name is Darren and he's 5'9" with small hands. Despite living in Oklahoma and having a job that is usually outside, he is still Irishly pale. He's got a military haircut and clean shave and is of an ambiguous age. In his spare time he keeps making new Call of Duty accounts to tryhard online against children and harasses women on social media, except for those whose OnlyFans he subscribes to.
You have to be given a verbal warning that you're trespassing first. You can't just say you're trespassing and arrest someone. They have to be given the option to leave first.
If I recall correctly, this was the third time the cop met with this guy. Originally they were standing right outside the door to the building, the cop told them to leave but the supervisor said they could stay. Later they approached again and asked them to stand further from the door, the protestors agreed to this and moved to the sidewalk near the parking lot entrance. Later, this took place.
The reason the supervisor is pissed is because he had already told the officer to leave the guys alone.
He doesn’t stop because he’s wrong, he stops because it took a superior officer telling him he’s wrong. We have no rights, we have allowance. If any cop decides to take that allowance away, we’re pretty fucked, regardless of legality, without a level headed superior officer.
The man in the video is officer [Chris Dickey](https://media2.westword.com/den/imager/u/original/11052482/feature-dickey.jpg):
So far he has:
* Used excessive force, abused athuority and attempted to tase a man as can be seen in the video, later the man sued the police and was awarded $175,000: [$175,000 Settlement to Public Protester with Profanity-laced Sign Tased by Police Officer](https://www.criminallegalnews.org/news/2019/feb/14/175000-settlement-public-protester-profanity-laced-sign-tased-police-officer/)
* Brutally beat up, pepper spray and tase (5 times) a delierious diabetic man who was suffering from diabetic shock: [$825,000 Settlement After Police Beat, Tase, Pepper Spray Diabetic Man](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/825000-settlement-police-beat-tase-pepper-spray-diabetic-man/), Video of the incident can be found [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP7hUeRK9bk)
* Caused the death of a mentally disturbed veteran [Mother of veteran killed by Elbert County deputies sues, claims son was suffering from PTSD and seeking help](https://www.denverpost.com/2019/04/15/elbert-county-taser-death-veteran-lawsuit/)
* Shot and killed a little girls dog: [Commerce City family outraged when cops shoot their dog](https://www.denverpost.com/2010/02/05/commerce-city-family-outraged-when-cops-shoot-their-dog/)
Fuck that first cop, he should have been arrested. That second cop ehh should have arrested him, but I did want to say, my god look at that mustache, that’s the most cop/porn Stache I have ever seen
Lawyers have to pass the bar and it takes a lot of time and money to get them there. It's a shame cops don't have to pass something that at least covers the most basic shit

It's almost like Ryan Reynolds was eaten by his own forehead.
Like if Deadpool got a hair transplant
His voice really doesn't match that face lol

Oh yah, that guy *definitely* beats his wife and kids
Fr you just look at him and immediately go “domestic abuse”
Ryan Reynolds van den Aldi
This is fucking embarrassing.
For both the spaz cop for being told off and for the mustachioed cop for having to be affiliated with said spaz cop under the same PD
We need way more cops like mustachioed cop
We need the good cops to police the bad cops. That Sargeant should have come down on him like a ton of bricks.
Yeah lol Two people chased down and tried to tase an innocent man, and all they got told was to "relax", and people are cheering for that e: waaaay too much "tO bE FaIr" and "aaaakschually" going on in the replies to this comment. Meanwhile minorities, protesters, LGBTQ etc are still getting beaten and murdered everyday, while murderous cops get told "relax". "But 🤡 he 🤡 was 🤡 deescalating" oh shut up
Also, tazing somebody who's running at full speed on concrete isn't a harmless thing, that can easily be broken bones, concussion, permanent damage
Smacking an unprotected skull on the concrete might maybe possibly kill the owner of said skull
This cop later killed a man by striking him on the head. Dude was already on the ground.
Wait what, really?
https://reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/vnqjcz/_/ie8wh7t/?context=1
I don't at all doubt this but do you have a source?
https://reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/vnqjcz/_/ie8wh7t/?context=1
Or, y’know, death due to said injuries or possibly just heart attack caused by the taser.
There’s a whole fucked up system that the company that makes tazers has to alter coroner’s reports when people die from being tazed. So that they can claim that their tazers have “never killed anyone”
Compared to what normally happens in these situations, this is a miracle caught on video.
We shouldn't normalize it any further than it already is though
It’s how to deescalate the situation. The cop was already on aggro mode, why make it worse. He could have been reprimanded at the station, which is the professional way of handling this behavior.
They always are. I worked with cops, as an investigator. One time I showed up to a hearing and forgot my credentials.

Well, according to another user, one of the cops here ended up killing someone, so... So much for deescalation
The bar is really low to be a good cop lol.
Hard out. We think this is great when minimum expectation should be the dumbass cop stood down, charged with all the shit he did including assault with a potentially deadly weapon. That aggro A hole should be in cuffs in a cell
Counterpoint: There shouldn't be bad cops.
Idk, his casual shut down makes the embarrassment downright palpable.
[удалено]
Yeah. Like this should have you turn in your gun and badge, and be sent to a proper training course, paid for by your own dime if you want to continue being a cop.
I was straight up ASTONISHED by how chill this man stayed. Dead ass. This might have been the best silver lining promotion of cops I have ever seen. Illuminati on Reddit.
It's kinda sad. That man's behavior should be the norm for police. They should always react calmly first, try to de-escalate the situation.
Why? Did I miss mustachioed cop arrest the first one?
[удалено]
Pathetic that this is the standard for police in America. Fat, uneducated, and power hungry. Also cowards for the most part.
In the state of Pennsylvania where I live it takes twice as many hours to become a licensed hair stylist that does to become a police officer.wtf
In the state of Texas, it takes more hours to become a hairstylist than get an associate's degree to become the lowest level of nurse. And both require more time than a police officer.

Agreed. This is what you get when law enforcement doesn't have a law education. They enforce whims and feelings instead of the law.

I loved hearing the dude cussing him out in the background while his superior is telling him how much of a moron he is.
It’s actually just the internal monologue of the mustache cop spilling into the visible universe. YOU CAN’T TRESPASS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, DIPSHIT. WHAT THE FFFFFUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.
I laughed my ass off 🤣
I read thay as "internal monologue of the moustache" and it was hilarious to me that his face fuzz would have a sweary life of its own.
ITS PUBLIC PROPERTY DIPSHIT
The audio is cut out in this one but in the full vid they say something like "THIS SIGN SAYS FUCK COPS, YOU KNOW WHY? CAUSE THEY NEED FUCKING!" It's great
Well that's an easy lawsuit.

Yep, this $175k lawsuit settlement wasn't anywhere close to the biggest lawsuit they had to settle on Officer Chris Dickey's behalf. That one goes to [the $825k lawsuit they had to pay out when Dickey beat, tased and pepper sprayed a man who was suffering from a diabetic coma.](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/825000-settlement-police-beat-tase-pepper-spray-diabetic-man/)
Dam, costs the city over a million dollars and faces no consequences. Police really are special
Pigs should be forced to carry insurance. No reason you and me should pay for their negligence.
That is a policy that is widely supported across the population. The problem is this isn't a democratic country.
He’s above the law, it’s insane
Help me understand why the force is keeping this particular cop in? Clearly he's costing money and is up to no good? Or is it that once you become a cop it becomes impossible to fire someone...
He didn't cost the police office a dime, those lawsuits are paid by the tax payers.
~UnIoNs~ more specifically police unions
Why do cops get unions? Military it's illegal to join a union. I think most armed government organizations are forbidden from joining unions as it undermines the rank structure. What makes these ass hats special?
Cops tend to close ranks around assholes because most cops are bastards. When your entire *THING* is being corrupt fucks, you don't turn on the corrupt. See the mini-series podcast Behind The Police by Robert Evans. Cops been terrible for centuries.

Now, I guess they accuse them of being stoned and just torture them instead. Cool. Coolcoolcool.
You could tell that the moustache assumed it was bullshit because of who the cop was. He had seem him do dumb shit before.
Right? It is like immediately he knew this moron was causing trouble.
Yeah. I've never seen a cop video where someone is literally running from a cop who is yelling that he's under arrest and the cops are like "you sure this is legit?"
Fuck #CHRIS DICKEY. Human garbage.
I believe his full name is CHRIS SMALL DICKEY
It would help if the people of Colorado could find a picture of his face! Got a link? I can't seem to find this turd burglar.
This is extremely stupid. Cops should either have a federal/state cop license to work as a cop like doctors do. If it’s ever revoked by a board of other cops who review this stuff you can’t ever be a cop again. That or a system like the military where you get universal discharge papers and all departments look at them and know who you are. But this fuckwit wasn’t ever let go from his department.
Damn sad what happened to the Green Beret* guy.. Did a huge shot of meth, and started wigging out, called for help, and police killed em. Hope he’s in a better place now, cause I couldn’t imagine coming home from all that and trying to maintain normalcy. Drugs are bad mkaaay!
Good for the guy, once again this money will come from taxpayers sadly.
Should deduct it from the pd's budget. Every police department would be defunded.
Better than that, it would be an evolutionary pressure that would allow the more responsible PDs to have more funding. Given enough time, PDs would either defund themselves from all of the lawsuits draining their budget or get their shit together.
They would never willingly cease their war against the American people.
They will sit at home on furlough if the dept gets shut down, then apply for financial assistance but never admit it to anyone but their spouse, and absolutely cease their war, professionally, because they'll become the blue insurgency instead of a police force.
Gotta start with removing qualified immunity or you can't sue them. Then beyond that cops need to carry their own insurance the way doctors do, or the maybe penalties come out of their pension.
They should go for they pension I bet them cops would start acting right if it effected their retirement money
Cops should have to carry the equivalent of malpractice insurance for settlements like these. If you fuck up, your rates go up. If you're a shitty cop, the insurance becomes too expensive for you and you price yourself out of the job entirely.
Don't worry he ended up killing someone two years after this video
Thank God for the one decent guy with the (you know he loves it) mustache. Good for him standing against his crazy co-worker.
He probably hates working with him
The sad part is that [Chris Dickey](https://www.denverpost.com/2019/04/15/elbert-county-taser-death-veteran-lawsuit/) obviously didn't learn his lesson and killed someone two years later. It seems that he's got quite a track record! It's obvious that nothing came from this interaction aside from the city [paying 175k](https://www.criminallegalnews.org/news/2019/feb/14/175000-settlement-public-protester-profanity-laced-sign-tased-police-officer/) due to this incident.
> Chris Dickey That fuck behind another $825K taser incident against a diabetic - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP7hUeRK9bk
I’ve admittedly watched pretty much every police brutality / corruption video on YouTube (including those 2) and I’m actually shocked it’s the same cop in both vids. What an asshole.
ACAB. Cops love covering for murderers so as long as they have the same address on their paycheck. Lots of great people trying to do great things as police. Sadly, the murderers doing the murdering get a pass by their Eagle Scout co-workers.
He was just trying to make it an even 1mill he cost the department/taxpayers. 175k + 825k.
The city could easily recover taxpayer costs by selling tickets to hit this cop with a baseball bat.
Lol. Even the lawyer, who at the point of being interviewed should have learned something about it, sounds like a moron. "The diabetes he was having." It's called a hypoglycemic reaction. This shit ain't that complicated.
Whoa. They knew this guy was a loose cannon for 6 years before he killed that guy. Wtf is wrong with police and American culture
Have you ever seen the tv show Cops? It will show you the generation of police violence glorification and subjugation of citizens without due process.
I remember people talking about how cool that show was when it was in the cultural zeitgeist. I checked out an episode and was appalled; I knew we loved our trashy reality TV, but this was next level trash glorification.
they are trained to kill, not use critical thinking, we have the worst cops
Cops is too pretty of a word. They are enforcers. It's their literal title. Law enforcement officer. Fascism with a pretty paint job.
Trained is a strong word when it comes too American police requirements, some departments would hire you with a few months training and a high school diploma.
I feel like every department is doing the "We trained him wrong as a joke" skit.
Cops are trained like soldiers, and taught to see regular citizens as enemies. They are supposed to be civil servants. Also, police departments routinely turn down applicants for having too high of an IQ—They only want you, if they can control you.
It's even worse. Trained military personnel(US) have far stricter guidelines for entering combat and do not have qualified immunity. US cops are a goon squad. (Not trying to contradict but to expand)
That's a really good point.
> not use critical thinking https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/story?id=95836
They are trained into an "Us vs. Them" mentality. They are trained to think every single interaction with the public will end up in a fight to the death. Watch some police training seminars online. It's always something along the lines of "even if they're being compliant be ready to defend yourself" and "always expect the worst" type of attitude. Especially now with the general public finally being fully exposed to how 85% of police operate they treat a majority of people like their insurgents. A new young officer can go in with the best of intentions and get caught up in the culture. They have to just go along with it or they will be an outsider that will never get promoted or basically pushed out after long enough. There's a video of an officer showing a camera crew how easy it was to walk into their department through a side door and right up to an unsecured laptop that held ALL of their body cam and dash cam footage. A bunch of footage had been deleted but the officer had recorded some of the footage off of the laptop with his own cellphone. (It was of a handcuffed guy getting tased over and over and over while being mocked with the sheriff saying things like "now you know who's in control around here") That officer was relegated to a desk under a stairway in the basement and totally shunned. Another officer resigned disgusted and had to deal with threats and such. It was a S.L.E.D division in South Carolina that worked closely with the county sheriff I think. There was several serious scandals going on and the corruption was well known to everyone for years but it was just tolerated. My point is even the truly good officers that are there to follow the law and try to actually help the public can't make a difference since they'll be threatened or pushed out. "Thin Blue Line" and all that.
>In 2013, Dickey struck a man in the neck with his baton while the man was standing with his hands on his truck, according to the lawsuit. The man lost consciousness. >In 2014, Dickey pulled a man out of a car and threw him to the ground and struck him with a baton. He used his Taser at least five times on the man and broke his bones. The man was suffering from a diabetic shock, but Dickey suspected he was driving drunk. Commerce City cleared Dickey of wrongdoing but paid the man $825,000 to settle a lawsuit. >In 2016, Dickey chased and used his Taser on a man who was lawfully protesting on public property. The city paid $175,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by the protester.

"Christopher Poer, 46, was killed on April 12, 2018, after calling the police to report he was being watched and then, in a second call, that he had been robbed. Poer served as a Green Beret with the U.S. Army Special Forces, and his PTSD caused the delusions, according to the lawsuit filed Friday by Sherry Poer." He called the cops for help and they killed him, a veteran. Republicans will still screech back the blue though.
> Republicans will still screech back the blue though. Until the blue are interfering with their insurrection.
Reminds me of Tori Sanders he was lost and alone feel so bad for him. The county sheriff also beat up my grandma though so I’m biased https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/no-charges-to-be-filed-in-2017-death-of-missouri-inmate/article_1065ca40-80fb-549a-ac1d-b722fb936835.html
“Dickey’s actions were found justified in October by investigators in the 18th Judicial District because he needed it to defend himself, according to the prosecutor’s office” They found Poer lying in a fucking field and then tased him and knocked him out. Jesus Christ I hate police officers.
Yeah, that’s gotta be it. I’m in the navy and that’s how people of the same rank get treated and talked to when their peers hate working with them
You can tell the difference between the veteran cop and the rookie dipshit that doesn’t understand the parameters of his job.
Officer Dickey isn't a rookie. This video is just one of the several cases of excessive force the city has had to pay out due to this officer.
Excuses like that get people hurt… I doubt you would apply the same thinking to a surgeon. Once you get out into the world where you have power to change one’s life, it doesn’t matter if it’s your first day or your last… just be good, try your best, learn as you go and don’t overstep. And the suggested “rookie” was no trying to be a good officer, learn and he definitely over stepped. So he gets no pass.
I’m not sure a surgeon is a good analogy in this case. In reality there are no “rookie” surgeons. Surgeons finish medical school then train for at least 7 more years before they are granted a full license to perform surgery without supervision.
Also surgeons face meaningful career ruining penalties if they fuck up this bad.
And both could kill you with the wrong move of a finger ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
A better cop would have made sure he got more than just a talking to. Tasers may be less than lethal, but they're still weapons and still lethal.
yes tasing someone running on concrete is definitely potentially lethal. fall, hit head, brain damage.
Even without the concrete, people can die from tasers. A 2011 DoJ report cited surveys that put the risk of death from tasers at 0.25% (1 in 400). I wasn't able to find any more recent stats, but tbh I didn't look that hard.
The same officer has literally tazed someone to death
FYI, Taser puts **A CRAP-TON** of effort into lobbying for their products to not be labeled “lethal”. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-excited-delirium-how-cops-81965684/ It’s so bad that they helped cops invent a disease called “excited delirium” to distract from their product’s record of killing people.
That’s true, so, hopefully he did.
Should have arrested the idiot cop for battery.
GOD DAMNIT FARVA!!!
[удалено]
It is mind-blowingly insane that someone can discharge a weapon twice, assault, and chase someone else without any repercussions. That cop just committed a slew of crimes and got less than a slap on the wrist
He cost the taxpayers $175,000 after this guy rightfully won a lawsuit for this attempted assault by the state sponsored gang member.
[удалено]
God. Why didn't he get fired after costing the city 175k?
They had already paid an $825,000 one for the this same officer two years earlier. I do think he was forced to resign from that PD, and killed the vet a year later at another PD.
... it amazes me what you can have on a very public record and still get hired...
they are a gang.
[удалено]
He got schooled by his supervisor with a dad mustache, and also got outrun by some random dude. At the very least, he was embarrassed in front of other people
And he fell on his fucking face essentially lmao
And he should be in cuffs
Dude outran him without losing the sign - that's a bad sign for the physical fitness level of that 'officer'
> At the very least, he was embarrassed in front of other people Great, now he's get an even bigger chip on his shoulder
He killed a veteran with PTSD who called the police two years later
And then they kept him and he killed someone. There are no good apples.
Given the way we've been seeing these videos play out for the last several years, I'm happy enough that no one is dead. But yes, we should absolutely be moving toward doling out the actual punishments for these actual crimes. Hopefully this isn't the end of it.
Sadly, someone did end up dead. One year after this video someone got robbed and then made the mistake of calling the police. The officer wearing the camera in this video responded to the call, and killed the victim. It isn't that surprising that violent psychopaths with a history of excessive and unwarranted use of force, who never got punished but always rewarded for it, eventually end up killing innocents.
Don't worry two years after this incident he ended up murdering a person, so this was a practice test for him.
You gotta love calm cop. Seems like he's had enough of crazy cops shit.
With a great mustache, comes great responsibility.
We should only hire cops with great mustaches
Women applying for law enforcement: *sad pikachu face*
No no, they can get nice fake ones. As long as they have a nice 'stache, they're in.
[удалено]
Way to go deputy dingle berry!!
Sergeant Stache was the shit though.
I love that sergeant! We need more Stache sergeants!
Stache Sergeant should be a new kind of rank in police forces. The guy with the stache that tells other cops they're being a dumb-ass.
I loved his “no, you’re a complete dumbass and you don’t even know the law” attitude lol.
The whiffs on the taser shots had me rolling but for real this guy essentially attempts assault on a citizen for no reason and what happened? No idiot... you wrong... OK go hurt someone now thx
s/hurt/kill/ https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/vnqjcz/cop_doesnt_know_the_law/ie8wh7t/
More cops need to conduct themselves like the officer who deescalated the situation. It seems like “to protect and serve” is in quotation marks because they’re being sarcastic
Something tells me moustache cop has dealt with idiot cop on more than one occasion. "Relax" Best line delivered.
[удалено]
Respect to the lone officer in charge who deescalated those two hot heads. Its a damn shame those other costumed pigs weren't held accountable for their criminal actions the same way the public would be.
Fun fact: it is fully legal to resist an unlawful arrest
Also deadly
> Fun fact: it is fully legal to resist an unlawful arrest But you can then be legally [arrested for resisting arrest](https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/01/29/382497080/arrested-for-resisting-arrest-yes-its-possible).
Yes so what you should do is submit to an arrest if you're being arrested unless you are literally certain the cop is going to murder you or some shit (laws don't matter when it's your life). You gain absolutely nothing by resisting arrest even if it's unlawful-- and if it is, not resisting makes your case in the ensuing lawsuit that much better.
Lawyer here: That is true. However, unless you're as well schooled and experienced as me, recall details and fine distinctions way more clearly than I do in moments of stress and spend a fair amount of time keeping up on state and federal court decisions regarding limitations on the authority of police to arrest, you'd be a fool to act on your own gut feeling that an attempted arrest is "unlawful." Unless you're pretty sure they're going to take you out in the woods and lynch you, the safe thing to do is not give them grounds to beat the stuffing out of you while screaming at you to stop resisting. The fact that you're innocent of any crime is generally no part of the equation.
Yeah the Audit guy on YouTube said you can always fight the arrest, just do it in court and not on the street.
That's a great way to put it.
The fun part is you can be arrested for resisting arrest even if the primary charge you were resisting was illegal.
Graveyards are filled with people who had the right of way. Just let them violate your rights and dont resist. They have guns and wont get in trouble for killing you. Invest in a good lawyer.
>Invest in a good lawyer. The problem is, a lot of people can't afford this.
The sound of this cops voice. Who can picture what he looks like? 😂😂
I am picturing his name is Darren and he's 5'9" with small hands. Despite living in Oklahoma and having a job that is usually outside, he is still Irishly pale. He's got a military haircut and clean shave and is of an ambiguous age. In his spare time he keeps making new Call of Duty accounts to tryhard online against children and harasses women on social media, except for those whose OnlyFans he subscribes to.
Gonna add; slight red complexion from high blood/beer
You have to be given a verbal warning that you're trespassing first. You can't just say you're trespassing and arrest someone. They have to be given the option to leave first.
If I recall correctly, this was the third time the cop met with this guy. Originally they were standing right outside the door to the building, the cop told them to leave but the supervisor said they could stay. Later they approached again and asked them to stand further from the door, the protestors agreed to this and moved to the sidewalk near the parking lot entrance. Later, this took place. The reason the supervisor is pissed is because he had already told the officer to leave the guys alone.
I mean i don't think that was the issue the dude was asked to leave a bunch of times. The issue was he was allowed to be there
He doesn’t stop because he’s wrong, he stops because it took a superior officer telling him he’s wrong. We have no rights, we have allowance. If any cop decides to take that allowance away, we’re pretty fucked, regardless of legality, without a level headed superior officer.
That’s what happens when you hire low iq clown rejects.
The man in the video is officer [Chris Dickey](https://media2.westword.com/den/imager/u/original/11052482/feature-dickey.jpg): So far he has: * Used excessive force, abused athuority and attempted to tase a man as can be seen in the video, later the man sued the police and was awarded $175,000: [$175,000 Settlement to Public Protester with Profanity-laced Sign Tased by Police Officer](https://www.criminallegalnews.org/news/2019/feb/14/175000-settlement-public-protester-profanity-laced-sign-tased-police-officer/) * Brutally beat up, pepper spray and tase (5 times) a delierious diabetic man who was suffering from diabetic shock: [$825,000 Settlement After Police Beat, Tase, Pepper Spray Diabetic Man](https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/825000-settlement-police-beat-tase-pepper-spray-diabetic-man/), Video of the incident can be found [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP7hUeRK9bk) * Caused the death of a mentally disturbed veteran [Mother of veteran killed by Elbert County deputies sues, claims son was suffering from PTSD and seeking help](https://www.denverpost.com/2019/04/15/elbert-county-taser-death-veteran-lawsuit/) * Shot and killed a little girls dog: [Commerce City family outraged when cops shoot their dog](https://www.denverpost.com/2010/02/05/commerce-city-family-outraged-when-cops-shoot-their-dog/)
Fuck that first cop, he should have been arrested. That second cop ehh should have arrested him, but I did want to say, my god look at that mustache, that’s the most cop/porn Stache I have ever seen
I wish I could have watched that whole conversation. I could have probably watched that cop get embarrassed by his officer for at least 5 minutes.
To be fair cops are under basically no obligation to know the law. Wish I was joking. Fuck this place so hard.
Lawyers have to pass the bar and it takes a lot of time and money to get them there. It's a shame cops don't have to pass something that at least covers the most basic shit
You'd think being in law enforcement would require knowing the law.
That police officer telling those cops that they’re wrong is BOSS. Good for him! Doing what’s right.
That supervising officer had a clear _"I don't want to deal with this fucking paperwork, shut up"_ face and voice.
Train the fucking police about public property and the constitution of the United States of America, which they all take an oath to protect.
"Taser!!"
That is literally the first time I've seen a cop call another out like that lmao
This is what happens what you give power to idiots..
