get on the ground now me pepper get on the ground I didn't do [ __ ] I'm not asking you anymore get on the ground so we found this video on Blue radar uh I like some of the commentary so check them out if you like it observed a box truck speeding at 50 m hour in a 30 mph Zone using radar to confirm the violation the officer also noted a Jeep dangerously tailgating the truck initiating a traffic stop the vehicles pulled into a quick check parking lot where events quickly escalated are you with that gentleman were you with him yes okay I'm following him I don't know the area what's up you're both getting tickets you're go going 50 she was 4 in from your bumper right from the beginning this police officer's radar is on because he makes a stop on two cars one that's really tailgating the other then they both pull over like you never know what you're going to have I mean who knows what's in that box truck and then the guy gets out and approaches obviously aggressively so if I was this this police officer making this stop I'd immediately be calling for someone else there cuz now I'm dealing with two different people who knows who's in either car or what they're doing and a lot of times bad guys travel in tandem so it's uh it it definitely should have had this guy's radar on red you're not going to get both of our speedometers at the same time so off with that what's the issue why you talking to my girlfriend walk away now walk away or I'm going to place you under arrest you going Place me under arrest walk away homie want to do what's good sit down on the curb now I'm not doing [ __ ] sit down on the curb you're going to Mother sit down on the curb I'm going to spray you a pepper spray I will knock you sit down on the curb sit down sit down that's threat now I am threatening you sit down on the curve all right record this all right now now record this all right now sit down on the curb last chance sit down you are under arrest put your hands on the Cur on the car right now put your hands on the car now put your hands on the car you will get sprayed I don't [ __ ] what's up John take a step back here put your hands on the car car now you're getting sprayed last chance Last Chance what for what for what are you kidding me you're on camera for threatening me are you kidding me threaten me I'm oh my God put your hands on the car you're getting sprayed what last chance spray them how's this perfect how's that mother perfect if you hit me I'm just letting you know arrest me homie you're under arrest for what the box truck driver later identified as Jeffrey Fogerty approached the officer aggressively yeah you're under arrest come over here now for what come over here now for what what do you think is going to happen here sir what do you think is going to happen you're not arresting man do [ __ ] I am 100% arresting you you are being charged get in the car man I didn't do sh I'm telling you right now do not walk away what bro what what I didn't do come here you just oh there we go there we go he wants to fight he's giving all of the verbal indicators of that he's going to fight that he's going to hurt this officer um officer tells him he's under arrest the guy doesn't listen so that resisting arrest charge I think is good um but when it gets time to put your hands on someone I mean baton is a great option um I'm not a giant fan of the taser but it is an option um it gives you some distance away from someone especially if there's someone there apparently this this suspect had a little physical prowess um I don't know if the officer was was out of shape or unsure about being able to go Hands-On or what his issue is but it was obviously he didn't want to he didn't want to go Hands-On with this guy and sometimes instead of pepper spray or baton or taser sometimes people just need some Thunder and some lightning let him go John let him go get what does he drop what did he drop the [ __ ] is your problem bro get on the ground stop coming me right now I didn't yeah I didn't do get on the ground now spray me with pepper get on the ground I didn't do I'm not asking you anymore get on the ground get on the ground treating him like a garden flower he's getting all the spray pepper spray doesn't work on everyone um there are some people that just that don't get affected by it uh CS gas same exact thing some people just aren't they're just they they're immune to it uh this guy didn't have it didn't look like he had any reaction to it um he didn't grab his eyes he wasn't snotting he wasn't coughing uh he didn't say anything about it so immediately if you're going to go to spray and that spray is not effective a great option is to transition to another use of force again I like going Hands-On but once you spray someone and you go Hands-On with them now you're getting the same spray that you gave that person so uh it's that's why I don't like spray um baton probably would have been a good good idea at this point but if this guy was tough and and you know wanted to fight I think this police officer just needed to uh to go Hands-On and and really you know use some of that training that they give us right now I am the supervisor so why you spraying me get on the ground why are you spraying get on the ground why are you spraying me get on the ground why are you we're going to go hands on go hands on I'm not trying to fight I don't want to hurt you get on the ground are you spray I'll get on the ground get on the ground okay get on the ground why are you spray why are you spraying this is not a negotiation get on the ground spray me I'm going to spray you again if you don't get on the ground what get on the ground you are under arrest for disorderly conduct get on the ground last chance I'm on the ground get your body on the ground now get your body on the ground now put your belly on the ground I didn't do last say last chance a lot body on the ground hands behind your back back there we go now this suspect obviously has somewhat of a sense of humor cuz he's like get on the ground he's like all fours like okay I'm on the ground he's like lay down he's like uh I'm a little bit lower like put your belly on the ground he like okay so I don't I don't know if if he was trying to be absolutely literal or if the guy was just messing with the cop or or what but I didn't it was like you know hey go over there and you're like I'm closer over there like is that is that what happens here I don't know I I don't know what that was but it was kind of funny that the suspect was messing with the cop hand behind your back youing me I'm asking he just put that pepper spr onr hands behind your back now why are you arresting me I asked you a question my head I asked you a question thank you I didn't touch anybody or threaten anybody so well you threatened a lot I hope you have a really good lawyer cuz I do you probably need a lawyer because you act like this why you were harassing my girlfriend I asked you why you harassing my girlfriend that's an antagonist I promise you the [ __ ] PBA cards I have in my [ __ ] W right now you're this suspect says that he has a stack of PBA cards PBA is the P police benevolent Association um they don't have it out West it's not a West Coast thing it is very much an East Coast thing coming from New York I know where the PBA card is um so apparently this guy the suspect knows a bunch of cops uh a PBA card from my very rudimentary understanding is a card that you would give to your family and friends as a law enforcement officer um asking for you to extend some sort of professional courtesy if another law enforcement officer were to contact them you know it's like hey can you get my wife out of a speeding ticket here's the you know here's a PBA card um so that's what that is so this suspect is looking for the professional courtesy that one cop would give another cop um but that doesn't apply when you act in this manner and I would be absolutely astonished if any officer were to see this video and say yeah man you should you should extend that guy the same courtesy you would extend me if I was there um but for those of you on the west coast that don't know what PBA cards are that's what they are it's it's an East Coast thing and it's a um it's an old school thing come on hop up for me all right we're going to turn on our side you're [ __ ] right yeah I know buddy put your knees up the PBA cards I have stand up no one cares about PBA cards doesn't give you the right to break the law back the car you can videotape me from your car I know my freedom I know my I know all my you're a lot you're a lot of I know my freedom yeah okay you have the right to remain silent anything you say can is against your in court of law you have speaking attorney man' just stand by your car and you for disorderly conduct well how many more times don't need to explain it to you turn away from me I know my rights I can stand whatever I want ma' last chance you either back away or you're going to be arrested too for what just step back to your car the video camera Works she's just too close like look you want to video me no problem I don't obviously I'm on video a lot doesn't bother me a bit it doesn't bother most officers we absolutely don't care but when you are standing behind me 3 fet away I have no idea if she's going to pull a revolver out of her freak coat and shoot me in the back so your video works 10 ft away or 20 ft away just as good as it does 3 ft away but it if someone stays further away it's a lot easier for me one to feel like you're not going to shoot me in the back and two the closer you get the more of an officer safety issue it becomes for me because now I need to separate my attention between someone standing behind me and someone standing in front of me so it's just an officer safety thing like video us it's not a big deal but don't stand behind me in video plus like all you're doing is videoing the back of my head like stand in front of me so I can see you video me go 8 or 10 feet away video me all you want um and I I feel like most officers feel the same way F why is everything have to be so difficult so difficult dude you guys don't have your right to arrest me please just back away from me I standing here I'm not doing anything keep an eye on her I'm telling you right now stop stop get your hand out of your pocket my wallet right now so aggressive with him can you can you back them up zard please back her upud didn't have to do all this bro dude have to maybe you should be less aggressive you have to do any of this [ __ ] right now right here stop you stop leaning into your why are you leaning into that what do you got do there's a knife and keys what kind of knife is it legal I don't know you to do dude you didn't have to do this stop I don't care I'm a police officer why can't you just hear me out dude you came up threatening can you unlock first thing you did I'm not running nowhere obviously I'm not going nowhere why can't you just that was the most ridiculous thing that's my girlfriend I don't care I don't care you guys were going 50 m an hour down the road I made a stop okay what I'm not doing anything right now stop telling me you're not doing anything get in the car can you just hear me get in the car dude I'm getting in the car I'm asking put your feet up in the seat ridiculous this guy's ridiculous now before even hearing my PBA card any of that right now sit back sit back PBA card doesn't give you the right to break the law that's not what they you should not be arresting John I need her driver's license she's getting 50 in a 35 and tailgating perfect ridiculous he sounds like such a gentleman Jeff Jeff you one Jeff shut up that's that P out there you you're getting released are you calm no you I'm not calm let pick the people off you find how calm I am can you stop right I anger issues hey don't don't push in me when you get it off man I will do whatever the f I want I promise you if I get these CS off me when I'm near you you're hard time that's a threat I'm I'll make I'll make you a deal I'll make you a deal now okay if you stop stop you make me deal about what you make me deal about what you a about right now deal about what you make a deal about what this guy's ridiculous you should never arrest me step is you're getting charged with assault bro next time I promise you I'm going split that open I didn't even arrest you you want to talk to a little woman you show up dude you're you know that right you're [ __ ] are you done B the second you come in and we can do this I can let you go Bloomingdale PD I don't know exactly what state this is I think it's we looked it up might be outside of Chicago and Illinois um the officer is just nice he's just he is there's a time to not be a nice guy and that that time passed I I think during this and and maybe being a little bit more more aggressive um might have yielded a different result but sometimes it's just time to be it's time to be mean and not make a friend um so I I think that it maybe it's just a it's a cultural thing within that agency here in Arizona uh that typically doesn't fly especially with Sheriff's Offices here that tend to be a little bit more aggressive um there would have been a different outcome you know with that especially with the threats and the resisting um that guy probably needed to go to jail and and sit in jail and think about what he did instead of being cited and released but again each officer has a ton of discretion um and obviously this officer used his discretion and that's that's what he believed was the best outcome promise you when you let me go I'll see you soon yeah listen all right I'm I'm I'm I'm going to have to charge you with threat me dude that's not that's not a threat you don't think so I'm see you soon it might be I live in the neighborhood see you soon watch yourself I'm back in you're talking to your girl you're going to get two tickets and go home why do you want to go like they said you don't want to escalate this anymore stop dur in the county

now the fact that you P my girlfriend bull what do you mean a bull it was 50 and a 30 she was this far from your bumper I didn't I thought honestly until you came running up and yelling at me and told me that was your girlfriend I thought she was chasing you that's how close she was if you had just come up to me and said hey that's my girlfriend she was following me I would have written her it and we would have been done that was the end of it look that's my girlfriend I'm I'm listen who cares okay go ahead I apologize I'm very protective of my girlfriend I got five little sisters maybe I should have heard you out I'm going to tell you this right now too you said in the time first of all that was crazy inappropriate you said to me in the car that was do you know how much bigger you are

argument to you is this do you think I want to fight you think I wanted that no I boxed for 7 that's what I'm saying I can see that I didn't want any of that that's why I decided not to you want you want you want reality that scared the hell out of me that's why you got sprayed I'm sorry you know how many times I sprayed my I've been a cop for 13 years you know how many times I sprayed my pepper spray once today I don't carry pepper spray on my belt um I have never pepper sprayed someone that I can remember during my my 24e career um I have used Taser not a half dozen times you know maybe six or 10 times during the years that I've had it um sometimes it's effective sometimes it's not um Drive stunning is different than deploying probes so I've used it in a couple different ways um but the overwhelming majority of my uses of force are just empty-hand uses of force um I'm I'm confident with it and um it seems to work more more consistently so I'm just not a pepper spray guy other jurisdictions use it a lot more it's just not for me I apologize I'm not going to take I'm not going to take the cups off you because of what you said now all of a sudden he's a nice guy on the line

your two tickets it's disorderly persons resisting disorderly persons disorderly during processing Mr foger's behavior oscillated from hostility uttering threats and offensive remarks to eventual calm and cooperation a switchblade was found during a search an illegal weapon Fogerty voluntarily surrendered after agreeing to cooperate in the commentary here it says that this guy was found with a switchblade uh and that's a legal knife and that he voluntarily you know allowed it to be confiscated um it's not really something we do in Arizona like everyone carries knives in Arizona I have a knife in my pocket right now um there's out the front knives that are made by all sorts of companies Microtech Raven Crest is made here here in Mesa I don't really know why it's got to be in again it's a state that's not Arizona so maybe cops there are really looking for you know to arrest people carrying pocket knives but it's not something we do here cuz Arizona likes knives like we like guns meanwhile the Jeep driver Natalie jenic received citations for speeding and following too closely Mr Fogerty was charged with disorderly conduct resisting arrest and speeding with a additional charges under consideration after refusing medical treatment multiple times he was released with a court date
