He punched his brother five times, then called the cops on him. Now watch how this ends. Stay till the very end. Two brothers, one fight, police arrive, and everything spirals out of control. >> What the What's up, man?

That we're trying to conduct an investigation on a potential domestic violence incident and we're refusing to comply with what we're asking you to do. >> Notice what just happened. The officer isn't arresting him for the fight. He's using non-compliance as the grounds. In domestic calls, refusing lawful commands can quickly escalate things. >> Okay. I need to say that. Is everything on is everything now? So, if you can, can we step over here away from your brother so we don't have any further confrontation and just take >> Would you lead the way? >> I'm not going to walk in front of you now. >> Okay.

Just try. >> Why don't you ask him, Coop? >> Cuz I'm asking you. >> Well, why don't you ask him? >> Okay. Do you have your ID on you, my ma'am? >> No, that's what I was trying to find back there, Coop. That's what I told you. >> I don't need it. I can grab your name from you. >> Okay.

That's what I need. >> All right. Well, we'll be out of here soon enough. >> No. You guys have any past history of you guys getting into it like this? >> Yes. This is a common enough occurrence that it would have gone without anybody calling the cops if it didn't escalate so severely. He got physical to the point of fists and grappling and he was trying to choke me out. I tried everything in my power to calmly converse with him, right? And and say that this doesn't have to happen and it doesn't have to escalate and he is my older brother. Therefore, he is never obligated to ever listen to a single word I have to say. It's all optional to him. And then he gets to escalate things to this overly dramatic level. And it's all my fault and all my guilt and all my responsibility to deal with. I appreciate you guys responding to the call as much as I'm going to regret it. >> Would you like to tell me what happened? >> I'd like for all of you to get the off this property. All you guys [ __ ] is on, right?

Did he request an ambulance? No. No. No. Turn your face under. >> Really? >> I'm under arrest now. >> Are you serious? >> For what? >> Right now? For domestic violence, simple assault, obstruction. >> Here's the turning point. He chose not to give his side, so officers only had one story. Invisible injuries. Staying silent is your right, but it can cost you in the moment. >> You guys know that he actually attacked me. >> Okay. >> He better be assault. He He better be arrested, too. All right. So, now that this is the case, he assaulted me first. I'm so not kidding, boys. I wanted to leave. Take it. Come with me over here. >> This is incredible. Hold on. Hold on one second. Please, sir. What do you got? >> Can I just take all of my belongings? I'm going to search you over here and I'll leave whatever you want me to leave here. >> We're going to cover my car. >> Oh my god. >> Mama.

No. >> No. You swung the cops on me, bro. Don't tell me what to [ __ ] do. >> Okay. >> Do you want a name to see you, my man? >> How many times you got to ask me?
