sometimes instead of the police protecting us we need to protect ourselves from them today we will look at some examples of this a 22-year-old man Freedom Christopher fendler stopped at a supermarket before going to work but did not remove his motorbike equipment he was then allegedly warned more than once by the store manager for safety concerns but he did not care according to the store manager the police then arrived on the scene hey bu you got some idea on you hey hey you have some ID on you up you have ID problem yeah manag asking take hel off while you're walking around in the store and you just ignoring what are you talking about man you think I'm talking just favor take your hel off you're not going to speak with that's with your helmet on [Applause] okay [Applause] what you make your [Applause] purchase everything man so he said that he had music playing in his helmet right up I'm right now stood right there no yes it is I live in a okay so did you see the manager basically walk up right to your face and ask you to take off your helmet how do you not see that I saw him talking but he's got a headset on I'm standing right next to you right next to you I I said sir I thought you were going this way I didn't hear you I said stop I follow you halfway throughout the store let me ask you something what's the what's the purpose of keeping the helmet on it's just faster to get to work man like said I'm on my way to work where do you work at work at Jim Click right there okay so you walk through the store what' you buy I bought sandwich a Gatorade two peaches a scrubber I think four pens a toothbrush okay that's SI so you just kept everything on here see you keep the helmet on you walk around grab all the Safeway I go the other Safeway I go fries when I go to the bank I mean he knows I know cuz I I ride he he rides it's not it doesn't take much effort take it off put it back on I mean it takes maybe like 5 Seconds 10 seconds if it doesn't man but I've never had any issues where like take it off or or a sign saying that you need to have it off and like I said why the manager asked you to take it off like I said I didn't hear him I had music playing you didn't see me I'm standing right in front of I saw you there and then I saw you talk but like again you have a headset on so I can't put my hands on you to get your attention I I I was standing right next to you I didn't just like I'm standing here with the officer to stood right in front of you just like I'm standing here I said I need you to stop and listen to me you totally ignored me and kept watching I got Associates that were upset and concerned because you're walking around with a backpack with a helmet nobody knows who you are but I made a I'm concerned about the safety of my ass even if their claims about the store manager's warning are not true some incidents that occurred close to the date of the incident explain their fears about this issue however I cannot say the same about the behavior of the police later in the video You're argument of person and I am not the person you want to argue with you need to take and you need to go like this and pull your head out of your ass okay because you're walking around in a store in your face there's shooters that go on all over the place this man comes up to you and you want to play you got a little sen of headpiece going on that you can't stop you need to listen to learn not listen to reply you need to turn that little switch off in your brain that you want to run your mouth and argue every time somebody tells you something because this is disturbing the peace you can go to jail and not go to work so what's the choice you're going to make hard hit you're going to quit walking around businesses with a helmet on scaring the hell out of people to where you got massive cops all over the place rifles outside waiting for a shooter to come out laugh yeah but that's where we're at to pull your head out of your ass and quit arguing every time somebody tells you something I'm just I'm telling you look at what you're doing you keep wanting to argue with me I'm not the guy you want to argue with wasn't trying to argue I'm just that's why you keep talking stop talking okay fine fine fine do you have do you have his info I was going to see if they want trespass okay so officially being trespassed from the store don't come back to Walmart come back to Walmart manager anyone sees you you get arrested for that we don't have picture out it'll be on the camera keep in mind you come in here again you'll be arrested and you book you book for trespassing and stand what he's telling you you're trespass from Walmart it's a national system you're not just trespass from this Walmart trespassing all Walmart's and Sam's Clubs understand that something happens and you get pulled over or sto at one of them other ones for wearing your helmet for stupid stuns like that you find yourself sitting in time didn't have to be like that but how many other people you see going to business walking around with a motorcycle H out especially with the shootings in dayona and freaking um op Paso Just Happening your goal is people are going to be on edge they're going to be scared they're going to be worried okay you got someone that walks in wearing mcycle helmet and has a backpack with military camouflage they're going to think otherwise they're not going to think it's just some law biases see how that looks it's like common hel it's kind of like common sense I mean like I said he rides I ride I always take my helmet off I mean what's does it really save you that much time today it didn't you medic issues or anything holdie tell me old you are tell me how old you are okay you're acting like a little child how many times did you ask him to leave at least five six times just like like he's ignoring you I walk I walk half the store with the following right to side to ask told many times that you that officers are coming out just get I'm thinking about he I would say so espe the current behavior you're asking allore or six times right next to just like trespassing you were told to leave the store and you didn't want to take my jacket off n i you leave your jacket wait which way am I turning all right the right anything you say can Will is against court of law you have the right to the presence of attorney prior question if you cannot aold one will be appointed for you do you understand those rights all right you can have a seat back in there those prescription glasses and to see yes okay perfect the police's treatment of Mr Christopher violates his first and Fourth Amendment rights and his unprofessional behavior towards him is of course another matter but if they had admitted that m Mr Christopher had not heard the store manager because he was listening to music from the beginning of the incident and left him alone after a little warning I am sure everyone would have happily moved on but they preferred to escalate the incident because they thought that since we have come this far let's at least punish him for it according to the decision signed by the US District Judge on the 16th of February the case which lasted for 3 years was dismissed the judge accepted the opposing party's argument that the plaintiff Mr Christopher had failed to disclose any damages alleged in the lawsuit and also failed to show that there was a genuine issue for trial and the case was dismissed in August 2020 41-year-old Shawn Porter protested Maryland governor Larry Hogan at a busy Bowie intersection Porter held a large sign with provocative messages acknowledging passing traffic cheerfully Prince George's County Police initially approached him but no issues occurred later officers McKenzie and Arnold from Bowie police arrived how you doing sir I don't want to give you a hard time or anything but I can't let you hold of that sign I'm sorry the first amendment protects my free

going that route trying to say I'm on drugs I'm asking you you're shaking like a leaf disorderly conduct which has become the button used by police officers when they have difficulty in any matter was also encountered here and then they asked him if he was on drugs this is really unacceptable no police officer can say that what you are doing is wrong because you are exercising your first amendment rights and some people are offended by it which is the point of that sir we're not trying to be nasty to you or anything like that it's free speech and you can't do anything about call your State's Attorney's office I talk to my lawyers every day I'm in the newspapers every State's Attorney's Office reviewed it and said you can't do anything about it's free speech you're not even supposed to be talking to me I'm not I'm not arguing I'm not AR that you're right you're right about Free Speech we have a call because people are offended by your sign but I didn't offend them they offended

eventually Departed the scene without any additional incidents and Mr Porter continued his protest for an additional 3 hours with without encountering any problems on December 5th 2020 Virginia National Guard Lieutenant Karen Nazario was driving in a recently purchased vehicle when officer Daniel Crocker of the Windsor Police Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop due to a potential license plate violation instead of immediately pulling over Lieutenant Nazario continued driving for approximately a mile before stopping at a well lit gas station officer Joe Gutierrez joined the pursuit and both officers exited the their vehicles Drew their firearms and aimed them at Lieutenant [Music] Nazario driver roll the window down Fon traffic stop put your hands out the window put your

Justice it's easy to understand why Mr Nazario reacted the way he did because two police officers are pointing guns at you in an overly aggressive Manner and shouting orders you don't even understand what is happening in addition since he was wearing a seat belt they were going to empty all the bullets in their guns in case there was a gun as soon as he used his hand so what the lieutenant did was right from the very beginning but according to the laws of his State he has to stop where the police try to stop him so we can say that he made a small mistake in this regard but that doesn't justify 1% of what was done to him B violation I do not have to get out the vehicle you haven't even told me why I'm being stopped really get your hands get out of the car now get out the car get your hands

ground right there right there Lieutenant Nazario was pepper sprayed and physically restrained by Officer Gutierrez for non-compliance with orders to exit the vehicle the use of force in this case hinges on the Supreme Court's 1989 ruling in Graham V Connor which considers factors such as the severity of the crime immediate threat resistance to arrest and injury sustained in the fourth circuit where this incident occurred these factors were examined by judge young in a lawsuit he found that some factors favored Lieutenant Nazario While others favored the officers ultimately concluding that the reasonableness of the force was an issue for a jury to decide however he granted summary judgment to the officers based on qualified immunity as there was no clear legal precedent against aiming Firearms using threats or OC spray in this context what's that it's gum what the [ __ ] get on the ground it's gum sir sir can you just work with us can I just work with us lay down flat hold lay down

want you to fall down I don't want to keep holding on get relax right there tell it what happened why would you fly I looked out the mirror and I saw guns drawn I put my hands out and we told you we identified ourselves we told you to step out of the vehicle and you wouldn't all you had to do is comply and we' have been done by now okay all right m missio so back let's go all the way back to square one okay I turned around on you at food line I actually came out of Cost Plus and I came up behind you I saw you before you turned and you had no tags displayed I I see it but per the law it has to be in the license plate bracket I understand it paper and I understand why it's there yes but at that time I had no IDE I didn't know that you had a vehicle registration till I approached your car and at that point I was too busy dealing with you to deal with the tag you want me to wipe your eyes okay so look all this was going to be was hey man I stopped you you didn't have a tag you got your driver's license I'd have ran you and You' have been on your way okay what would have been a two-minute traffic stop turned into all this as I was telling him you know I've pulled over to well lit areas before and I've never looked out the window and saw a gun blazing immediately so so the reason we did that is because we followed you for a mile and a half with lights and sirens on and you didn't pull over I understand you want to get to a low wi area a a well lit area I get that but when we follow you that long look at look at the climate this day and against everybody against us against y'all you know what I mean yeah I'm not out to hurt you and I know you don't want to hurt me that's not what it's about what it's about is making sure that everybody goes home at the end of the day so when you don't stop and you continue to proceed our suspicions are raised what's going on in the car what don't he want us to see so you pull into here and if you were to just compli with the simple commands that we were giving you originally it would have been done and over with and you would have got back on your car and you'd be gone by now but you wouldn't get out the car you wouldn't comply it was it just looking out the mirror and seeing your guns out already that's what I was asking like what's what's going on I was just and then and and not to mention you have just confused just I know you weren't reaching but not to mention you had a gun at your right leg you you get our perspective though on the safety issue for us as well you get that yeah I I I do I do and and that's why I put my hands out I was asking what and when you put your hands out they were like this outside the window how do we know nothing's in your hands and I was telling you stick your hands out stick your hands out stick your hands out then I was having you step out you wouldn't do any of it following what I'm saying Okay so this can go one or two ways okay I I don't want to hem you up I'm going to be straight up with you you're a good man you've made lieutenant in the Army how hard was that that wasn't an easy task was it no it wasn't and and what would this what would this do to your career it would hurt it and I'm in the I'm uh in the middle of getting promoted right now anyway so yeah to what Captain or first lieutenant um to first lieutenant okay so and then when we get you out of the car we have to wrestle with you on the ground just to get your hands behind your back just to put you in cuffs just for the safety matter you follow where we're at I mean what would you do if you came across that overseas you know if you were infantry and you came across that you follow me you see where we're coming from I'm trying to work with you as much as I can I would have never wanted like I said it would have been a simple you know hey I see your tag now you know make sure you get it display on in the proper spot and you'd have been moving on with your day and I'd have been moving on with mine but here we are how's you guys doing better and I keep calling you attent I told you I'm a veteran I respect rank okay I was a freaking I was a for Marine Corp I respect rank however I do have a job to do okay I just talk about chief of police you ask for a superior he's off obviously right now it's Saturday I called him he came out talked here's how he what I was was thinking I told him what I wanted to do he said that's no problem two ways we can handle this we can either sit here with you until you get your eyes back where you can see and I mean at a good distance for your safe to drive okay and you're going down the road go do your deployment go continue serving my country which I respect and I thank you for okay or we can push the issue write you tickets for no uh license plate displayed and for resisting or not resis obstructive of Justice I don't think we need to go that route because that route makes the Army get involved and I know how they are the you don't notice the AR he'll he'll vouch for it um cuz he's been in and he's got friends that are legal officers I know the military is the only place okay the military is the only place where Double Jeopardy exists legally because whatever we do him we do to him the Army can turn around jaming for the same thing I don't want to see that happen you're obviously second you ain't been in very long if you plan on making a a career or even six years or whatever it's up to you I don't care there's no need getting this on your record I don't want on your record however toity to you if you want to fight it and argue I mean and I don't mean disrespectfully okay I mean you have that right as a citizen if that's what you want we'll charge you have you go to court notify the command do all that or we can take the take time out of our night which is not a problem we're being paid to take care of people okay we'll sit here with you get your eyes back you and uh what's your dog's name

back and send you on down the road okay I don't want to charge you I will it's my job I don't want to the chief's giving me the scretch on how to handle it he's like these are the two choices I said that's what I was thinking that's what I want to do he's like not a problem we can either let it go help him out get his eyes back and get them on down the road so so the Army doesn't get involved or we can charge you and then it's a big hassle for you it doesn't change my life one way either way you see what I'm saying it's not about me this is about you what you want to do at if you want to just chill let this go and no charges filed we'll take the handcuffs off we'll get you a bottle of water to drink on and sit here until you feel comfortable driving all right or the other option is we write the summons this charge you have and we by then we have no choice we have to notify your command again I'm not I don't have to be an ass I don't to be threatening uh I say that because that's just the way it is okay I just talked to my boss those are the two choices that he gave me personally as a veteran who serve okay I did my I did six years in before my wife's a retired sailor she retired as a ea C of the Navy okay I don't want to see you get jammed up by the Army okay I don't want to see it happen you need to spit just let us know go ahead and spit I we both been sprayed so we know like it sucks if you need to spit go ahead and spit you're not going to offend us all right um what do you want to do inant I'll let you tell me cuz I mean no nobody's going to ask for charges so know I'm not going to ask for that I understand that however I have to make that option available to you right I mean I I mean I have to so here's what I want to do especially is as as calm as you've been since everything ended I want to take the handcuffs off let you sit here with smoke sit here wait with you let your eyes come back okay cuz going take it takes anywhere from 20 to 40 minutes depending on how much actually got in the eyeball itself before you can really see well to drive especially at night okay we'll sit here with you and then we'll get you on down the road and the command won't know nothing about [Applause] it all right I I do have a good report with my command so I wouldn't feel right not talking to okay that's entirely I'll put it this way then for you they're going to hear from you they will not hear from us I give you that much respect okay because I understand I I told you I was in for six years it's always better for the command to hear first from you than somebody else espe the law enfor that's never a good thing I talk I get it okay I get the we're in right now I get it okay the CL in the what the media is stealing with the race relations between minorities and law enforcement I get it okay so like I told you as far as you not stopping and because you wer comfortable and you wanted to well this spot we tell that happens at all time it happens to be a lot and it's it's I say 80% of the time not always 80% of the time it's a minority approximately four months after this incident officer Gutierrez was dismissed on the
