These were multiple times when corrupt racist cops get arrested. Starting with the case of racist cops who assault NBA player. On January 26th, 2018, 22-year-old NBA player Sterling Brown parked his car outside a store in Milwaukee, unfortunately occupying two handicapped parking spots. Officer Joseph Grahams of the Milwaukee Police Department noticed this and decided to wait by Brown's vehicle for him to come out. The entire encounter was recorded on body camera, revealing a troubling escalation. When Brown returned, Officer Grahams immediately demanded his driver's license in a confrontational manner. Despite the clear parking violation under Wisconsin law, which prohibits parking in handicapped spaces or access aisles, the situation quickly deteriorated beyond a simple ticket. Instead of issuing a parking citation, Officer Grahams began to escalate tensions. He physically pushed Brown back, claiming Brown was obstructing him, although the footage shows the officer was actually blocking Brown's access to his vehicle. How you doing? You got a driver's license? Where's that? Where's your driver's back up? You don't see You don't see You don't You don't see the issue here? Hold on. Don't touch. You don't see the issue here. You're not parked across three lanes. That's cool. That's cool. You go. You go back. 2390. Make another squad here. Back up. Back up. For what are you obstructing me? I just told you to back up. I just told you to back up. Everything. Okay. You touched me first. That's right. I told you to back up cuz you're going to try and get in the car. I'll do what I want. All right. I own this right here. You don't own me though. So what's your name? Just say it. I didn't say I owe you. I said I own this. But this me. Don't touch me, bro. You don't own me. Don't touch me. What's your name? I'm asking you. I'm telling you, bro. These are simple questions, man. No, I'm answering. These are simple questions and you're being and you're being like and you're being all bad asking me. All right. I asked you a question so I could verify this. Okay. You don't think I see these that are whatever? Fake. So, I'm asking you your name. He was real IDs. I don't Okay. I don't know who you are. Okay. So, that's why I asked. I asked for an These are these are legitimate questions, right? I ain't got no problem with it. Okay. Well, you look at me like I got them grown out of my head. All right. I'm just saying you touched me. That's the mission. That's right. Cuz you got up in my face. Okay. I got up in your face. Really? I asked you to back up and you did not do it. I asked you to back up and you did not do it. You backed up about 3 in. All right. Everything I'm doing is on camera, dude. I don't care. These are legitimate. These are legitimate requests. All right. face on the bad trip as well. No, I was never at there. No, I just punched in this location when I came here with this guy. I just No, it was not there. I just frmced it in front of my [ __ ] computer and put him here right here. I didn't call it. I actually did over the computer. So, see, that's that's a [Music] I'm ask I'm asking you a question. I ain't touch you back in the car. [Music] Why didn't I just mean what I mean? understand what I mean. What? Can I Can I ask you why? What's bothering you? I'm bothering you. I'm trying to get nothing. On what? For what? I'm asking I'm just asking question for what? And I can move it. I got it. [Music] down. Over five police units arrived in response to Graham's call for backup, turning what should have been a minor infraction into a full-blown confrontation. The officers questioned Brown aggressively, treating him as if he had committed a serious crime rather than a parking violation. Brown repeatedly refused to remove his hands from his pockets, citing his right to protect his property, which prompted the officers to tackle him to the ground and tase him multiple times. One officer even stepped on Brown's ankle while he was restrained, an act clearly violating Milwaukee Police Department's use of force policies. Take your hands out of your package now. I got stuff in my hands. Go down. Get down. [Music] Jesus. Hold on. Taser. Taser. Taser. taser. Oh, that's double my I asked you to step back and you didn't do it. Well, it's all on camera, sir. Just like I explain to you just like I explained to you. Yep. [Music] Where's your normal license? Your regular license. Yeah, I know. I got scissors paper. There you go. You regular. I don't know why you didn't give me this. I don't know. I don't know why you Oh, no. No. No. I It wasn't even I rolled up. wanted to walk in the car. Yeah. Yeah. No, I didn't even get a chance to look. Right. Right. Oh, yeah. You patted him down. No, I didn't get a chance. But you had some time to really have a reason. Right. And just initially, like you say, I rolled up. I was going to take a piss. I see a car park that I he's gone. I said, "Is there a reason for this? Your emergency? What?" You know, that's what I'm thinking. Hey, maybe you got a medical emergency or something. You need to get in there. And I asked her, I said, "Where is he?" I was excited to be just a minute. He comes out and starts sitting in my face and I said, "Hey, back up. You wouldn't do, you know, same thing as [Music] you." And that's when I called for somebody else. He had met you. I don't know why I just went out with a traffic. Uh uh. This excessive use of force combined with the prolonged detention of Brown without probable cause for a crime likely violated his Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures. Under Wisconsin law, traffic violations like parking tickets are not considered crimes and do not justify such aggressive police behavior. Following the incident, Brown filed a civil rights lawsuit against the city of Milwaukee, the police chief, and the officers involved. The lawsuit alleged excessive force and civil rights violations. In 2021, the case was settled for $750,000. Although the settlement did not admit wrongdoing, the city and police department issued a formal apology. Officer Grahams was reassigned from patrol duties, and the body cam footage has since been used to train officers on appropriate conduct. However, in this next case, a racist female cop takes it way too far. On May 9th, 2019, David Lemon Gay and three friends had just grabbed breakfast at a McDonald's in White Oak and stepped outside to wait for the landscaping company truck that would take them to their job. As they waited in the open parking lot, Sergeant with the Montgomery County Police Department approached the four African-American men and bruskly accused them of loitering and trespassing. Within minutes, at least six more officers had arrived, an astonishing response to a group simply standing by their cars. The entire ordeal was recorded on a female officer's body camera, revealing a pattern of unprofessionalism and contempt. The male sergeant mocked Gray, taunting him to stop crying and act like a little girl, even ordering him to sit on the ground in a demeaning tone. Laughter and giggles echoed among the officers as they interrogated the men, treating innocent workers like dangerous criminals. What did I just tell him? I told him I'd be out here in a minute. Is it hurting you? Are you hurt? I'm not hurt. Well, then stop crying. You act like a little girl. Act like a little girl. That's not nice. I'm not doing nothing. So like you don't matter and I'm waiting to go to work and y'all here doing the moves or what? You ain't doing nothing. Yeah, I'm not nothing. Sit down then. Sit on the floor. Big dog. Unbelievable. You know, trying to help out, get you guys out so you can get to your jobs. That's what happens to you. Run your mouth. That's what I'm going to deal with. All right. I'm just saying you got people in here. Am I the time keeper? You ain't in there. You're smart. If y'all stop running your mouth. Why stop running my mouth? Because that will get you out of here. Is your goal is your goal to get out of here soon? Listen to me so I can go. So I can go. Me so I can go repeating yourself. You're just elongating this entire conversation. Right. So, here's the thing. If you just stop and listen, pop in your mouth will get there faster. But just repeating yourself over and over again and not listening isn't going to get you anywhere. I am doing my job right now. Do I know you? No, I know that Joker right there. Despite Gray explaining they were merely waiting for their ride to work. No different from someone waiting for an Uber, the officers insisted on running each man's name, demanding identification, rifling through pockets, and even forcing socks and hats off under the guise of searching for concealed weapons. This aggressive, humiliating behavior ran directly counter to the department's stated commitment to respect individual rights, human dignity, and the value of all community members, as well as its emphasis on community policing and accountability. As the encounter wore on, the female officer's casual cruelty escalated into outright racism. Amidst crude jokes about straps and mocking banter about Snapchat, she eventually dropped the n-word on camera. An unconscious confession of prejudice that would ignite public outrage. A privately recorded cell phone video of the exchange went viral overnight, prompting local politicians and civil rights advocates to condemn the behavior. County Council member Will Jandu described the tone as completely unacceptable, while Montgomery County Police Captain Tom Jordan confirmed an internal affairs investigation had been launched. Although the union representing the officers defended the patrol woman, asserting no ill intent. No formal disciplinary actions were publicly disclosed. All [Applause] right. I got to get you. I told you. I want to get you to the board. Follow me. Somebody calls. I got to deal with it. You understand? I face. I'm just going to patch you down. All right. Anything on you know about? Nope. All right. Mind if I look? What can I do? Basil, you're up next. You got anything? All right. You don't mind if we look then? Right. You got to take your socks off. You got to take your socks off. Hold on. That's not your hiding spot today. I got you. Remember? [Applause] Yeah, I do. Yeah. Actually, uh I do. It was a real problem. You would have came like this. Would you be quiet so I can hear? See, sorry. He doesn't want to leave. He wants us to stay longer. That's Well, we'll stay longer. I mean, I ain't got no problem. I get paid till 4. What do you got?

In fact, my back cuz you're here. You wanted to talk to me before. Sound like you want to be my friend. I do. We are friends. We are. We are best friends. Basil. [Applause] But if you have a second bag, may I? Thank you. You want to check my height or something? Your height? Yeah. S U N T I N. [Applause] You go. Now we're talking English. I like it. How much do you I don't know how much I weigh. I really don't. I say about 110 at most. Hey, was that on Snapchat? Cuz you got to get my good side if you're going to be on Snapchat. If you're on Snapchat, make sure you add me or tag me or just ask did I make it to work? I'm going to press that button. Okay, because [ __ ] like ain't doing Whose bag is this? Do this every day when he I seen him in the back. I'm check it. If I didn't want to piss if I was on some [ __ ] I would have ran from y'all. Like, come on now. Y not slick. We need to race. You and I are going to race. How am I How am I trust? Well, that's what's happening. That's cool. Quit. Continue your job, sir. Quit. Go ahead. You're one angry individual. I'm an angry individual. I am. Yeah. Why? Why are you so pass? What you doing with these bad boys? I'm looking for a moving company. That's why you got that strap in there. What does it do? Moving this. What does it do? I have about four boxes on top. So, you call them all together. I think you like straps. Yeah, I'm big into straps. Strap on, strap off. Lots of different straps. That's why I am very well uh versed in what straps do. Uh someday when you grow up, maybe I'll be less angry. Dick eaters. That's what I eat. I'm a eater now. I don't like that. It's good to be something. I understand. Do I get paid to be a least? You tell me. Doing better than you. It looks like I'll get paid to eat dick. All right, Cory, can you stand up for me and turn around? Put your hands behind your back. Oh, that's two out of four. [Applause] big ass from Sergeant. This is uh your friend right there. Okay, cool. This is his backpack. This is this gentleman. Hey, make sure you get my good side. Not that there is one, but make sure you get it. I'm a what? Link. Link. What's a link? Don't worry about it. Oh, okay. What's a link? Oh, well then it makes two of us. [Applause] What you got here? Throughout, the four men remained frustrated but compliant. Their simple right to free speech and safe passage ignored. Eventually, some were cited for loitering and trespassing, charges that seemed ludicrous given the public well-lit space and the absence of any posted no trespassing signs. No criminal charges were ever brought against the officers themselves. But the department did reassign the sergeant involved and pledged to use the footage for retraining on bias and deescalation. If you thought that was intense, wait for this next case where a racist cop meets karma during this stop on July 19th, 2023. An officer from the Manona Falls Police Department was out on patrol duty when he observed a vehicle traveling at 49 mph in a 35 mph zone. Concerned by the speeding, the officer activated his lights and began pursuit. The vehicle with three occupants pulled into a nearby parking lot rather than stopping immediately on the roadside. It's important to note two things here. First, the driver noticeably slowed down as soon as he saw the patrol vehicle attempting to initiate a stop. Second, the three passengers were on a Door Dash delivery. This fact quickly became clear once the officer made contact with them. The initial moments of the encounter were recorded on the officer's dash cam. Although the first few seconds are muted, the officer immediately questioned the occupants, starting with a demand to roll down the windows and asking why the driver had attempted to dip out from the stop. The driver explained they were door dashing in the area and had pulled into the parking lot to avoid blocking traffic. The officer insisted the driver should have pulled over immediately upon seeing the police lights rather than making a quick Uturn and entering the parking lot. You roll all the windows down for me. What's going on? My bad. Why you trying to dip out on me? Door dashing. Okay. You're door dashing right here. Yeah. I swear to God. Like this was going I could Yeah, we got nothing. I follow. Can I see the address? You pulled a U-turn real fast and pulled in here. When a cop turns their lights on, you're supposed to pull over right away. All right. You shouldn't be pulling to the back of a parking lot when someone turns their lights on. No, we understand that, but we was coming here anyway. So, it's like instead of holding up traffic and stopping, you just pull right. You should still stop right away. All right. And you're not getting out of the car right now to deliver that. Okay. You got ID on you. You have a Wisconsin license or no? No. You live in Arkansas? No. I That's where I live. Well, yeah. No, but like I'm visiting here now. You're visiting right now? Okay. But he lived here before. You don't have a Wisconsin ID? Um, it's old. Yeah. Okay. Can you say 80? I stopped you cuz you're going 49 and a 30, just so you know. Okay. You're going 19 over. All right. Is this your vehicle? I know. Whose vehicle is this? Your big sisters. Okay. Is this your current address? Little Rock. Do you have an address up here? Nothing. You don't see that address. How long you staying up here? I was supposed to leave cuz I go to college. So I [ __ ] leave by the end of this month. Okay. So you're just here for the summer or something? Yeah. Okay. He He's from here though. Are you two from here? Okay. What's your phone number, man? You guys have IDs on you? Yeah. Where is it? My book. Where's that? You can grab it. Oh, you got ID, man. [Music] Yeah. Hey, she said, "Why you need our ID if it's a traffic stop?" I'm just asking. He just ask. He was just asking. So, you don't need to see it. All right. So, you don't need to see it. I'm asking for it. You asking for it, but I I don't have to show it. As the passenger, you don't have to give it to me, but I'm asking you for it. That's food. Okay. You have anything here you shouldn't have? No, sir. We didn't cuz it smells like marijuana. Yeah. Yeah. You don't have any? because it smells like it. You sure don't want to tell me right now? We don't. It's a ice strange, but I don't think it's on the finger. Okay. Let me see. It's like nothing like you. Three. That's probably This is your sister's car. Yeah. Okay. You know if anyone smoked in it recently? She said she did probably before we Is that sister on the phone? Yes. Okay. Tell her it smells like weed in here and you guys are driving it. He says no. The passenger argued that pulling over on the road would have caused unnecessary traffic disruption and the parking lot was a safer place to stop. From a procedural standpoint, drivers are expected to slow down promptly and pull over safely to the right side of the road. However, the officer never explicitly stated his reason for the stop beyond the initial speeding observation and immediately accused the driver of trying to flee. The situation was becoming tense. As the conversation progressed, the officer began fishing for information, asking numerous questions to try to coersse the passengers into revealing their identities and potentially incriminating themselves. He demanded IDs from all three occupants. Despite Wisconsin law not requiring passengers to provide identification unless there is reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing. At this point, the driver's older sister, who was on the phone, intervened. She asserted their constitutional rights and reminded the officer that the passengers were not legally obligated to identify themselves. Soon after, the officer pivoted to a new accusation, the smell of marijuana in the vehicle. This claim is often used as probable cause to search a vehicle in Wisconsin. The officer stated that the odor gave him justification to conduct a search even though the passengers denied any such substance. It is worth noting that the Supreme Court and Wisconsin case law allow searches if an unmistakable odor of marijuana is detected and linked to a person or place. However, there is a risk that officers may claim to smell something that isn't there, which would be an unlawful search. Whether the officer genuinely detected such an odor here remains unclear. Despite this, the officer escalated the situation. He ordered all three occupants out of the car and demanded that one passenger leave his mobile phone inside the vehicle, effectively seizing his personal property without a warrant or clear justification. This action violated the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Once backup officers arrived, the situation intensified. The officers physically restrained the passenger who resisted handing over his phone. He was told multiple times to stop resisting and threatened with being tased. In a calm but firm voice, the passenger asserted his right to record the interaction, explaining that it was legal to record police officers in public spaces. Okay. All right. Why don't you step out for me? Yep. Let all three of you come out. [Music] Leave the phone in there, sir. Step out. Leave the phone. Keep your hand out your pockets. [Music] Hey, what's his name? TJ. Listen. He said leave. Why you got my phone? Leave the phone in there. Why can't he have his phone? Leave the phone in there. Because I'm telling you, you can't right now. You're investigating something. Put your phone in there right now. Put your phone in there. Put your phone in there because I'm going to search the car for marijuana. Okay. We're investigating something you're not allowed on the phone. Put it in there. I'm not going to ask you again. Police. It's a lawful order. It's a lawful order. Put it in there. Put it in there. Put your phone in there. I don't care. Money. I'm not going to ask you again. I'm not going to ask you. Going to ask you something. Turn around. Turn around. Stop. Stop resisting right now. Stop resisting. Stop resisting right now. Stop resisting. Look. I will tase you if you don't stop. My [ __ ] my [ __ ] I didn't have a phone. What you talking about? Ironically, the officer's own order to leave the phone inside the car prevented the passenger from exercising this right. The officers then arrested the passenger on charges of obstruction of justice merely for holding his phone during the stop. Next up, racist cops frame innocent teen then this happens. On August 10th, 2022, the city of Sunrise Police Department received a call from a local convenience store owner reporting an altercation involving several teenagers. No physical violence had been reported, but the owner claimed that one of the teens was armed. Dispatchers immediately alerted the patrolling units, and officers McCarthy and Carter promptly arrived at the store to investigate. Upon arrival, they spoke with the owner, who recounted the events leading up to the call. He continued, describing how one boy ran out the back door despite being told not to. The owner mentioned that two of the teens had purchased some items, but there was no direct confrontation inside the store. When asked if the teens pulled out a gun inside, the owner firmly said, "No, they didn't pull out anything. We had no problem with them." However, the owner added that the boys had been showing off three guns to each other outside in a careless, almost boastful manner. The owner speculated that there might have been some conflict, explaining that one boy ran one way and two ran another. As per Florida law, brandishing a weapon in public is a criminal offense. The 2023 Florida statutes define improper exhibition of dangerous weapons or firearms as showing any firearm or weapon in a rude, careless, angry, or threatening way without necessity for self-defense. This is a misdemeanor of the first degree. It seemed plausible that tensions could have escalated to violence, so involving the police was justified. The officers requested to see the store's CCTV footage to identify the suspects. After reviewing the video, it was clear the boys were teenagers around 15 or 16 years old, and none appeared to be carrying weapons inside the store. While the officers continued watching the footage, two teenage boys entered the store to buy items. The staff noted that these boys had been near the area during the earlier incident, but did not accuse them of any wrongdoing. In fact, the boys denied involvement and seemed more like victims trying to avoid trouble. Yeah. And he at the store. Yeah. Three of them was here and then he working in the back room. My bedroom. I'm working outside like the the back door and my back door is open. The one of his They're not here anymore, right? No, they they just left. Yeah. So I see like that he's running away this way. Then I like, "Hey, why are you going for the outside?" Because like he not supposed to that way. Yeah. Then he's not listening. He just like that go that way by the fence and he's like run and he never realized in that and when I came inside I thought like something happened over here. I came past then I explained to him like what did he do inside the store? No, one of them two of them buy something like black and white something like that. So and then but the gun they pull out the gun in the store. No they didn't pull out anything. We didn't have any we didn't have any issue with us. Okay. Yeah. Do you think that they had an issue outside with somebody? I have no idea. Outside is didn't have any argument, nothing. Just she she's wondering because they have three guns with three guns and one round. Where were the guns? Yeah. In their waist. They take it out. They take it out. Yeah. Like to show you. Yeah. They're showing like friends talking each other and stuff. They're showing their friends and stuff. Okay. All right. But this is like who knows they eat something in one with us they want to miss it. Yes it's three boys. Yeah three boys. But in case they were in the store just kind of showing themselves but of course they are looking for someone because why one boy running around in the back door. Of course they he's in problem. Okay. She mean like the might they have some problem with the somebody that's why one this two run this way. Okay. Before it happen anything like that's why Yeah, I know. So that's why I just want to go it loudly. So it's me. Yeah, I know. So that's what 1420. Yes. So go rewind. It's saying 1428 was when like the kids were walking by. How long were they in here for? Not long. Not long. Back a little bit more. Oh, is this them? That's 14. Is this the case? Yeah, it's got to be on the outside. Yeah, with the strength. All right. Yeah. And now these Oh, wait. Despite this, officer McCarthy began to question them aggressively, escalating the situation rapidly. The boys tried to walk away, but the officer insisted, "Come over here. Let's talk." One boy refused, stating clearly he didn't want to engage, but the officers persisted. It's important to note that the boys were not under lawful detention. Police can only detain a person if they have reasonable suspicion, a well-founded belief that a crime was or is about to be committed. here. The boys had simply been in the area and returned to the store minutes after fleeing. This did not constitute reasonable suspicion. However, the officers failed to communicate that the boys were being detained and moved to physically restrain one of them, Curtis Wilson. Officer Carter ignored his protests and deployed a taser against Curtis, who was standing still and posed no threat. I'm sorry. What? Yeah, he was in the running back here. If I would have lost my life, he would have been looking [ __ ] Yo, talk to us. What? What was going on earlier? But you guys were obviously You guys are on freaking camera. All right. It's not. Why would you? Yo, come over here for a second. What? Let's come. Let's come talk. Come over here. No, no, no. We don't want to talk about that situation. Come back over here. Where you going, bro? Okay, let me talk to you. Y Let me go car. Let me go car. Let me go car. Let me go right now. Let me go car. Let me go car. You're getting relax. [Music] taste. Drop on the ground. Drop on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get on the ground. Get out of the ground. Get out of the ground. Get on the ground one more time. You're getting tased. Get tased. Get on the ground. You're getting tased. You got two seconds. One. Taser. Taser. Tas. Get on the ground. The Fourth Amendment protects individuals from unreasonable searches and seizures, including excessive use of force during police encounters. Police guidelines on use of force emphasize three key factors. The severity of the crime, the threat posed by the suspect, and whether the suspect is resisting or fleeing. Curtis was neither fleeing nor threatening anyone. He simply did not want to be handcuffed without cause. But the officers persisted, tasing him again when he remained passive. Eventually, medical personnel were called to the scene, but the damage was done. a clear example of police overreach and violation of constitutional rights. Curtis later threatened legal action, stating, "I'm suing you on my soul." According to the American Civil Liberties Union's guidelines on taser use, a taser should never be used as punishment or coercion. It is a use of force tool intended only to overcome resistance during lawful arrests or to protect officers or others. Since Curtis was neither lawfully detained nor resisting arrest, this taser deployment was unlawful. In this next case, racist cops get sued after insane stop. On January 26th, 2020, Melissa Hughes was driving home after picking up her son and his friends from a pizza place. Just minutes from her house, several Grand Rapids Police Department patrol vehicles suddenly pulled her over. Multiple officers immediately approached her car, their hands hovering near their holstered firearms. A crucial detail in this encounter was the sweatshirt Melissa wore, a black lives matter hoodie with her cousin's name on the back. Her cousin, Darius Wimberly, had been shot and killed by a Benton Harbor police officer in 2016, adding a heavy layer of tension to the stop. They asked for her driver's license and proof of insurance while also trying to identify the three minors in the car. Melissa's son and his two friends. Although the officers insisted on knowing who the minors were, Melissa stated they were not required to share their information, citing Michigan passenger rights and constitutional protections under the Fourth Amendment. According to Michigan law, officers can only require identification or search passengers if they have reasonable suspicion or probable cause, neither of which was present in this situation. During the stop, the officers found that Melissa's driver's license was also expired. It was at this point that the encounter escalated. Despite Melissa's compliance, the officers decided to pull her out of the vehicle. They ordered her to step out, placed her in handcuffs, conducted a search for weapons, and put her in the back of a patrol car. How can I help you? Hello. My name is Officer Vandenberg, Grand Police Department. Reason for the stop today, I'm sorry. Can you roll your back windows down? Roll my back windows down. Yeah, just so we can see.

I've been at the hospital all day today. This escalation raised serious questions about whether the officers had legitimate grounds for their actions or if racial bias played a role. It's important to note that Michigan law allows officers to ask a driver to exit a vehicle during a stop if there is reasonable suspicion or safety concerns. However, many experts argue that the officers did not have sufficient reason to do so in Melissa's case, especially since she was not under arrest. Melissa was left detained in the patrol car for over 10 minutes without clear information on what was happening. I don't have nothing else on me, sir. I don't have no other pockets. All right, I'm going use the back of my hand where it's appropriate. I don't even have my bra and I just ran to pick up the boys. Okay, they walked all the way to Burton Eastern to pick up the people. They said, "Mom, can you come get us? It's cold." That's it. Well, they're not lying. It's a little chilly out here. Yep. I ran down to pick them up. They didn't think about my place at all. Not mistake. Same thing. Back of the handler's broken. Okay. It's going to be a little slick this way. So, be careful. And I'm going to hang on to you. We're going to go back this way and have you select misdemeanor offense? I got you. Oh, can I have my phone? No. Oh, I can't call I can't call somebody. I don't need to be bailed out of jail. Am I going to jail? We'll talk about that in a minute. Okay. Well, I need to know if I can call my mom. Well, we haven't decided that yet. Okay. I mean, I got my daughter in the house with Okay, just give us a minute. While the three minors were left unattended in her vehicle, eventually the officers issued two citations, one for the expired registration and another misdemeanor for the expired license. However, the aggressive treatment Melissa endured far exceeded what was necessary for the traffic violations. On June 8th, 2020, Melissa received a call from the Michigan Department of Civil Rights informing her they had filed a racial discrimination charge against the Grand Rapids Police Department related to her case. Over 3 years later, in July 2023, the city settled the lawsuit for $45,000, though city officials denied any wrongdoing. As part of the settlement, Melissa withdrew her complaint and the case was dismissed by an administrative law judge. But wait for this next, where a racist cop doesn't realize he's being recorded on May 27th, 2020. An incident unfolded in San Diego that exposed blatant racism and police misconduct. Officer D's approached Deari Johnson, a black man, accusing him of smoking in a non-smoking area. The problem was Johnson wasn't even smoking. He had no cigarette, lighter, or vape on him. From the start, it was clear this stop was unjustified. Yet, it quickly escalated into excessive force and racial harassment. The officer's body cam captured the interaction, which quickly became confrontational. De's repeatedly touched and grabbed Johnson despite being told to stop, and at one point, De's even tried to choke him. Johnson remained calm but frustrated, calling out the officer for the unnecessary aggression. Johnson tried to reason with the officer, pointing out he had done nothing wrong and was simply waiting in the area. In a shocking moment of honesty, De's admitted the real reason for the stop. Hey, I'm black out here. That's what the issue is. Get the [ __ ] up off me, bro. [ __ ] is you grabbing me for, bro? I already told you [ __ ] is coming straight. You look goofy as hell, bro.

Disgra to whoever your supervisor, [ __ ] I'm telling, bro. This statement underscored the systemic racism driving the officer's actions and highlighted the unfortunate reality many people of color face during police encounters. Despite the clear lack of evidence or probable cause, De's proceeded to arrest Johnson for assault on an officer. You know what I'm saying? First one to feel prideful. I'm just standing here. You know what I'm saying? I told him my homie was coming and he pulled up and he still want to beef up on me for what? Where's my He looked at my name like 30 minutes ago. Bro, why am I still here? I don't got nothing on me. I'm doing nothing wrong. I'm being a citizen. So, you know what I'm saying? That's why that's why I'm frustrated. It's not as hell. I'm sitting outside for no reason.

So, what are we doing here? A charge that Johnson vehemently denied, insisting it was the officer who had been physically aggressive. Johnson's refusal to comply with unlawful detention and his efforts to document the interaction were met with hostility and false accusations from De's who later lied in his police report claiming Johnson had been smoking and assumed a fighting stance. Fed up with the abuse, Johnson filed a lawsuit against the city of Lame Mesa and Officer De's for excessive force and wrongful arrest. The city settled the case by paying Johnson $125,000, though none of the money came out of Diesa's pocket. However, the officer himself faced consequences. He was fired just 2 years after joining the police force. But hold on your seats because this next case is more shocking than the others. On July 14th, 2018, Dwayne Robinson was allegedly causing a scene at a mall using vulgar language and threatening other patrons. After being asked to leave by security, Robinson complied, but noticed that the guards continued to follow him and eventually detained him. Robinson described the situation as confusing and frustrating, explaining that when he tried to leave, security grabbed his bag roughly, which upset him. He insisted that the guards could have simply told him there was no exit in that direction, but instead they escalated the situation. Robinson asked for the police to be called to clarify things, hoping for a peaceful resolution. However, this decision soon turned out to be a grave mistake. When the police arrived, one officer, Garcia, quickly adopted a rude and confrontational attitude. Despite Robinson's willingness to cooperate, tension rose as the officer insisted on an argument, threatening jail time if Robinson didn't comply. Robinson refused to hand over his ID initially, which gave the officers enough reason to arrest him for criminal trespassing since he had already been asked to leave and refused. What followed was the disturbing part of the encounter. Once Robinson was on the ground, handcuffed and defenseless, the officers, especially Garcia, became increasingly blunt, abusive, and aggressive. Robinson tried to explain that he was only trying to understand why he was being charged, but his questions were met with hostility. Worse still, officer Garcia used racial slurs during the interaction, unapologetically repeating offensive language on camera to prove a point. If they don't want they don't want any loitering, they have the right to to protect their their uh customers here. And their customers are the people that pay rent here, the shops. So, if you're not spending any money here, they don't want you here. They have the right to tell you they don't want you here. Now, understand this. If they tell you they don't want you here and you have to leave, then you have to leave. If you don't leave, then you're breaking the law. But you're not breaking the law by being here. But if they tell you to leave and you don't leave, then you're breaking the law. That's when I get involved. All right. We cool on that. Yeah. Okay, cool. You have your ID. Let me just get your information. I get their information. Y'all take my information. So like they talking about they want to give me criminal trespasses. Yeah, they might give you a criminal trespass. I ain't even did. Why y'all give me criminal trespass? What you mean? What you mean they can't? No. Hold up. What you mean? No. Okay, here's the deal. I'm going to ask you to do something. I'm going to tell you that I'm going to make you something. I'm going to let you go. Go ahead and let go ahead and let it go. Stop tensing up. Yes, sir. You know what? Now you're under arrest. For what? For what? Look, bro. Stop. You are up. You're tensing up. Stop. Stop. No. Yeah. Put your hands back. Put your behind your back. Put your brain back. [Applause] Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Now you're under arrest for criminal trespass. What did I do? Just do what you said right there. Listen. Listen. You got my arm. What you mean? Listen. What you mean, bro? We're okay. What did I just do? You're under arrest for going trash. What you mean? They didn't even tell me that yet. Argumentally, we're not going to go through this whole story. I said, "Look, man. I was about to I'm about to give you my ID right now." What you mean, bro? Ain't that some [ __ ] It You know what? I agree. It is bull. You know why? I'm about to give you all my ID. I said, "Tell me this." And you said, "Look, give me ID." So, I was about to give it to you. Grab it. But you did. No, no, no. You took it back. What do you mean, bro? It's all on camera. Fast, bro. I didn't do nothing, dude. Look how old I am. You think I act back? I listened to all your stupid for like five minutes. Look, bro. And I said, you said I said, "Look, I said look, before I give y'all my ID, can y'all tell me like why would I get a criminal trespass?" And I told you they if you're not shopping here, they don't want you. All right. Look, and they didn't even tell I don't even have criminal trespass. You do now. Now you're going to jail. Tensing up like that. He had my finish. First of all, I'm not your fool. I'm an officer. Listen. Listen to me for a second. He ain't your bro either. Giving you nothing but respect. Look, and I'm trying to get all I did answer, bro. I'm not your fool. I'm nothing like that. I already Look, all I did was ask you questions, right? And then we asked you for your ID. You were Hey, look. I said, "Look, can y'all tell me?" All right. Give me about He even acknowledged his willingness to say such things openly, showing a blatant disregard for professionalism. The verbal abuse didn't end there. Garcia continued to taunt and insult Robinson, escalating the tension further. After the encounter outside the mall near the patrol cars, the officers physically abused Robinson by forcibly removing his shoes despite there being no indication of weapons or drugs. Robinson was made to walk barefoot on the hot pavement in July, an unnecessary and cruel act. Following the incident, Robinson was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest. The internal response from the police department revealed a deeper problem. Garcia's sergeant recommended only a written reprimand, arguing that the racial slur wasn't directed at anyone and was merely repeated. Two lieutenants agreed with this mild punishment. Fortunately, the deputy chief reviewed the footage and saw the excessive profanity, aggression, and unprofessionalism, sending the case to internal affairs for a formal investigation. Eventually, the San Antonio police chief viewed the video and called Garcia's conduct unacceptable, recommending an indefinite suspension. Despite Garcia's defense that he was using similar language to communicate, he was suspended indefinitely in January 2019.
