Where you going? >> It's this guy that you just handcuff that you just handcuffed that protects you guys more than anybody else. >> Cops are sworn to protect life and property, and body cams ensure accountability for both the officers and the citizens they serve. But what happens when those very body cams capture the kind of footage that doesn't just expose misconduct, but destroys careers? >> Whoa. >> Oh my god. >> Watch out. >> Can you breathe? >> Here are several instances when police officers careers were destroyed by their very own body cam footage. Starting with the moment a former police chief who decided to get behind the wheel while heavily intoxicated crashed into another road user and proceeded to put his career up in flames. >> Wally Kle, >> I was the chief of police and bridge. >> Come on, buddy. >> Come on. He went I want the chief of police in Bridgew. Why you do this to me? >> No, you're not. Come on. You want to keep >> You know what? Get him the out of here. >> You want to keep any any part of your career left? Get out of the car. Nice. >> Okay. Okay. Okay, we're out. We're out. >> Okay, we're out. >> On December the 27th, 2024, officers responded to a car crash scene with the urgency to control the situation and possibly save lives. What they didn't expect was for the driver responsible for the wreck to be one of their own. The former police chief, who was heavily intoxicated and completely unfit to be behind the wheel, had set off a shameful chain of events that would soon unfold under the unblinking eye of a body cam and marked the beginning of the end of a very long night for his career. >> I don't know what the need. >> Okay, that's no problem. >> Let me go. >> I saw the fire department pull out. >> Yeah, they probably can't open. >> Let me go. >> They're coming. >> I know. I know. >> What's his name? I was going to His name's Larry. His and >> he works for the bridge. I don't know, >> but his last name's on the back of the license plates. >> He's got a hand. That's why he's yelling screaming like that. >> But, uh, >> come on. >> Other than that, I don't know if he's been drinking or not. >> Yeah, >> it's hard to tell. The red car, that's mine. >> Yeah, >> I'm sitting in traffic and he comes down this way, hits this thing, and then the whole car just flips over like this. >> Larry, Larry, relax. Just relax, will you? >> This lane idiot hit that. He was going too fast. >> You're going to have to come down this way. >> Let me go, >> Larry. Just relax. >> Let me go, >> Larry. Just relax. >> Let me go. >> So, I put the barrel. So, I'm rerouting traffic that way. >> Yeah. >> So, so I don't have to stand. >> What the way in the air? >> That's not going to happen.

Come on. Come on. You dude. >> Come down. Calm down. Calm down. >> Go. >> Okay. All right. Calm down. >> At this point, the officer still didn't know exactly who they were dealing with, and his behavior wasn't helping one bit. If anything, he was roping himself, making the whole situation messier by the second. >> Calm down. >> Relax. >> You know what? I'm the >> Okay. >> You know what? I'm the cap and prank you. Oh, don't do that. >> Okay, stop. >> Yeah, come on. >> No. Come on. >> I don't know. Do you have a on you? >> Yeah, I do. But let me go. Come on. The >> Come on.

Let's go. >> Despite his drunken tantrums, the officer stayed calm and patient. Although he was going to be held accountable, they were giving him every chance to get himself together. But all he did was gradually put all his years of service up in flames with every moment being captured on body cam. >> Wally, come on, buddy. >> Come on. He went I want the chief of police in Bridgeview. Why you do this to me? >> No, you're not. Come on. >> All right. You got to hop out of the car. >> What? Wall-E, let's go. >> Wally, come on. >> Why?

That's my >> I don't have one. >> He was finally taken to the hospital for a quick medical check and clearance. Once that was done, it was straight to the station. Time to answer for the chaos that he had unleashed. >> Mr. Walry, you ready? >> Come on. >> Let me know if you need help. >> Yeah. >> Okay, I got you. >> Okay. >> All right. So, you understand what this is, right, sir? This is going to be pretty much You know, you understand your vehicle was towed, right? >> What? >> Your vehicle was towed cuz you you were in a car accident. >> My vehicle was what? >> It was towed. >> Towed? >> Yeah. >> No, it's not towed. >> Well, yes, it was.

I I came from work by I came by work by you guys. >> Okay. You want You want to get out from here or you want to stay in here? If you want to get outside here. Okay. >> Yeah. Okay. Then >> I came from you I came from work by you guys. I'm not drunk. >> You can argue that in court. >> In the end, the chief was charged with DUI and resisting arrest. Just like the former police chief, here's another case of a drunk officer who crashed into a tree. >> You in the car? >> Not worried about anybody else. >> Stay over here. >> Where you going, John? What are you doing? >> You're just making this worse for yourself. >> Okay. And I respect that. >> Yeah, he's better. On July the 22nd, 2024 in Palm Beach County, Florida, officers were dispatched to the scene of a crash involving a police officer who wrecked his vehicle. For a man of his training who had spent years enforcing the law, unusually, he tried to evade it. I love >> I love you too, brother. >> So, we're going to stand you up and we're going to walk back over there. Okay. You understand? I just paid for four. >> You're swatching. >> Well, I'm sure they appreciate that. >> I did. >> I believe you. >> I already called Sergeant 11. >> All right. So, we're going to stand you up and we're going to walk back over there. Okay. >> All right. Ready? One, two, and three. >> There you go. >> I got your phone. All right. Thank you. >> All right. Let's hold back over there. Okay. Look through my picture. >> No way. I don't >> look through my pictures and see. I'll be >> all right. You feeling better now? >> No. >> Okay. I said I just want to make sure you're okay. All right. So, when somebody starts walking away from a crash scene and not answering makes me think already. >> He They were checking him out and then he stood up and walked away. So, >> we going to get you checked out, buddy. >> We'll try to get you get you some help, sir. >> [ __ ] you. You know who Ronnie Coleman is? >> I wish. Right. >> We're going to the back of the rig. >> Check out sir. >> Just give you guys a heads up. Whenever the record does come trees broke off, so >> it's going to fall. >> Yeah, it's probably going to come down when the records. >> Yeah. When I walked up under, I'm like, "Oh, wait a minute. I saw you walk underneath it. I wanted to give you a heads up." >> Yeah. No, >> it may come down, hit the wire. What's that? >> It may come down and hit that wire, too. >> Yeah, it's going to move. >> It's low voltage here, but that's just guide wires up top. I believe >> they're going to need a tree down, too. >> Yeah, it's just you in the car. >> Not worried about anybody else. >> I'm glad you weren't hurting by the crash. But >> yeah, thank God you weren't hurt, bro. >> You want to lean up against the car, sir? You want to lean up against the car? >> You want to lean up against the car? >> Yeah, sure. >> Make it a little better. >> Yeah, sure. >> No, just lean up there. You just lean up. Turn up. >> No, turn around. >> Turn around. Turn around. Turn around, >> John. Turn around. >> There you go. Just lean. Relax. Relax. >> Relax. >> There you go. Put your back. There you go. There you go. How does that make it easier? Being >> in cuffs. You know why you're in cuffs, Sean? Yeah, >> sir. >> Yeah, >> you tried to walk away from the crash. >> Yeah, >> we have to walk a ways away. Please. >> Knowing that he was one of their own, he expected some kind of special treatment. And truth be told, the officers were willing to cut him a little slack. But if he had any wisdom, he'd play it smart because one wrong move and his entire career would go up in smoke. >> If I take them off, are you going to walk away again? If you do, I'm going to put you back in cops. What would you like for me to do this? >> I just don't want you to walk away from the scene. >> No problem. >> Okay. If I take them off. >> Yes. >> Okay. You You already Listen, you promised me. >> I promise. >> I hope you're a man of your word. >> Yeah, I know. They don't feel good. >> Hold on. >> Yeah. Don't turn your wrist. >> There we go. >> There you go, sir. There you go. Now you can relax. Just relax. But I don't understand. >> Why don't you understand? >> You are my people. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Just relax. >> Just relax. Yeah. >> What's going on, boss? Are you on duty now? >> Me? >> Yes. Yes, sir. >> Okay, let's take our bad. >> Sure. >> Put it in your pocket. I'm not taking it, man. I just don't want you. >> That's all. >> May I go home? >> No, you can't go home. >> Can't go home yet. >> All right. So, what needs to be >> We have a DUI unit coming to check you out and once they clear you, then we'll have to figure out what we're doing with the car and whatnot. If there's a place you want to take to or tow or whatnot. So, I guess it's a safe car. Hit the pole pretty good. You look all right. It's a tree and that's that's going to go down when it's going to go down when they leave. >> Oh, >> it's going to fall. So, they said something about getting somebody maybe from the >> village well dwellings to come over and >> Yeah, >> cuz that's going to fall. It's probably going to hit the wire. >> Okay. >> On his way or >> Yes. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Fire's good right there on the >> There particular uh place you want the car towed to cuz it ain't driving. >> Yeah. >> Where? >> Yeah. We got a couple minutes. Just let me know when you're >> But the officers were in for a shock because instead of maintaining proper behavior, his actions took a wild turn, proving just how unpredictable and self-destructive he was about to be. >> Don't go in there. No, you can't go in there, buddy. >> Don't go in there, cuz you know what's in there. >> Yeah, you can't go in there. What? You >> can't go in there. Don't go in there. >> Listen, let let me let both investigate and then you go about your business. Okay. >> I got you. >> Just like you. >> I got you. I understand that.

You close your clothes. >> Let him stay there. >> Let him stay there. >> On your side. Just stay on your side. So now I know that I can't trust you. Okay, >> John, really? >> Where you where you think you're going? >> Watching you run is like watching something moving in slow motion. >> Yeah, that's kind of comical. What are you doing, >> dude? >> What were you? The funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. Really? >> Listen to you. You're gasping for air. >> Me, too. I love you. I broke >> me. I've never seen anything like what is he doing? >> Yeah, I was like, "Wait, did this dude really really make a run for him when I walk over there?" >> God damn this car. >> All right. My question is, do you guys have charges on him >> other than leaving the Yeah, he's leaving the scene in an accident. >> Well, I mean, do you guys have like battery leo resisting anything like that? >> Walking up with me. So, we just have this, right? >> Just this running. >> Oh, no. No, no, no. He resist because he he touched stuff underneath. >> So he actually fell in your comfort. >> Yes. >> Oh, okay. >> Okay.

What do you want mead? >> Chad, you need Chad? >> Okay, you go by Chad. >> It's okay, Chad. >> You a sergeant? >> Huh? >> No, that's the sergeant over there. >> He was talking to you right here. >> For reasons best known to him, or perhaps because of the booze in his system, he seemed completely out of touch with reality, and the officers were giving him every chance to pull it together. But that grace period was about to end as they were gearing up to drop the hammer and hold him fully accountable. Let's just let him hang out by my car. Sit him on my phone. >> I'm going to look at the car for a little bit and then um we'll uh we'll have a little chat. >> You are funny though. You're a funny man. >> You are funny. >> You can't hurt you. >> No, no, no, no, no. You You can't be a man that we can trust. So, I can't do that. You just lied to my friend.

Sorry. >> You said you had to put him on twice. >> We put him on the first time cuz he walked away and then >> you're walking away. He's not walking away again. And then I took him off. He said, "I'm not going to run." Not 10 minutes later, he starts kicking off running. And me and Brown had to take him down and put him back in. >> All right. So, he's a flight. >> Sorry. >> One sec. Give me one sec. >> We could stand by while while you do what you have to do and we can just take him out the cups. >> Hold on. A couple tests and he can be on his way. You guys go. We're good.

Do you want to tell me yes or no? >> I'll watch. >> Every chance the officers gave him to deescalate. He threw right out of the window. What he didn't realize was that with every reckless decision, he was quietly walking down a path of no return. One that would wreck his career and leave him drowning in regret. >> Wait a minute. He's got to do this. We got to go through this thing. You know that been through this, right?

You need to sit down for >> What the [ __ ] Make sure my hand. >> With all his shenanigans finally out of the way and him secured in the back of the cruiser, the officers moved on to search his vehicle only to uncover some jaw-dropping surprises that took the situation to a whole new level. >> That door slider. >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. That's wonderful. >> I've had some bad days. I'm not going to lie. >> I'm trying to open the I don't know how to open it. Oh, please God, no. Jesus. Okay, that's roadside assistance kit.

We're getting here as quick as we did, >> huh? Thank you for getting here today. >> Oh, absolutely. >> With the search wrapped up, he was taken to the hospital for a medical check and clearance. But even then, he carried himself with pure entitlement, acting like his badge was a magic eraser that could wipe away all his sins. >> All right, come on up. >> Is Is that correct, sir? My my badge. Yeah, your We have your badge. >> My license. No. No. No. Wait. >> Yeah. >> That's over at the other facility. >> Yes. Yes. Yes. >> All right. >> Everything's fine.

You and >> you got a young lady over here. You got other people in this hospital. Can you knock it off? I did something. Desperate to dodge the fallout, he threw everything he had on the table and went full pity party, hoping a little sympathy might save him from the consequences he clearly brought on himself. >> I'm at all the time and I I damn sure do my best for my law enforcement officers and you treat me like this. I care more about you guys than you even I do everything I can to support you guys. Are you kidding me? >> So then why are you threatening me then? >> I didn't threaten you with nothing. >> Why did you say you're going to me up? >> Because I'm just joking.

All right. >> He was eventually charged with DUI and resisting arrest. While this officer's career is definitely in jeopardy, this next cop's fate was sealed after slamming an elderly man to the ground and leaving him seriously injured. His career took a turn it would never recover from. >> I need you to sign with your finger. It's not a mission of guilt. You're just a signing saying you'll take care of the citation >> for a ticket. >> We are not arguing about this. Okay. >> I want to show you. >> We argue in court. I don't want to take you to jail. >> I I'm ready to go to jail. >> You ready to go to jail? >> Ridiculous like that. >> Sit up. >> No. >> You sit up. >> Get on the ground. >> 125 me firing at the supervisor. >> On the 27th of October 2024, an officer in Oklahoma responded to a minor collision at an intersection. There he encountered Lich Vu, an elderly driver trying to understand why he was being ticketed. Despite the officer's explanations, it became evident that Lich was struggling to comprehend the situation, leading to noticeable frustration on both sides. >> Um, the way that your vehicle was located, >> I'll have to write you a ticket for improper U-turn. Whenever you complete a U-turn, >> I didn't turn. >> When Hold on. Whenever you complete a U-turn, >> you're supposed to be as far to that corner as possible. Okay. No, she they have another car the front of her and why you know we I cannot parking behind her. >> Okay. Well, >> you you are required to go as far away between You're not supposed to be between any cars. You're supposed to be against that curb line. Okay. I need you to sign with your finger. It's not a mission of guilt. You're signing saying you'll take care of the citation for a ticket. You're promising saying that you'll take care of it at a later date, whether that be in court or if you take care of it outside of court. >> I don't know what to >> So, I'm writing and issuing you a citation for improper term. Yes, sir. >> I say she hitting me and I got the citation. So, you don't >> I'm not writing a ticket for for her hitting you. Okay. >> No, she hit me. You see the >> I am not writing a ticket. >> You see the evidence? No. >> Okay. I don't think that you're understanding what I'm what I'm saying here. Okay. >> I understand. I told you the her the car the front of her head to the to the >> Whenever you make a U-turn. I didn't I didn't make a new thing. >> Sorry. Let Let me clarify. Okay. Whenever you enter a little intersection thing like that, you were not allowed to go side by side next to a car. >> Lynch, clearly frustrated yet composed, attempted to explain his side, only to be interrupted repeatedly. Eventually, tensions escalated further, though nothing justified what happened next. >> Hey, you are the police. >> Yes. >> Do you know? >> Okay. >> How many cars? >> We are done, sir. No, we're done arguing about this. Okay. >> I don't think so. >> We are We are not one. We are not arguing about this. Okay. >> I want to show you. >> We argue in court. >> We argue in court. >> You take the phone and >> we argue in court. >> No, we don't. >> We don't argue on the side of the road. We argue in court. Yes. That's how it works. Because if not, if you don't sign this, you go to jail. Okay. I don't want to take you to jail. >> I I'm ready to go to jail. >> You ready to go to jail? Ridiculous. Okay, that involves impounding your car, too. >> Stop. >> You got a ticket also. Your tags expired. >> Um, so you're good to get out of here. >> Okay. >> There's a report. I'll get to you guys in a second. Wait there. >> So, there's a This is the ticket. There's a date at the bottom that you have to take care of it by.

And then there is a >> case number right there because everyone's person, vehicle, and insurance information on it. Okay. >> Okay. So now I guess I'll just get my insurance to go after take care of it. >> Yeah, just call the insurance. Give me the case number. >> Thank you. >> Wonderful. Go ahead. >> Can you roll me another unit? I got this guy up here and a supervisor refusing to sign a ticket and he's uh wanting to go to jail. So >> for my husband, >> we stay here waiting for go to here. We not without U-turn. >> It doesn't matter about a U-turn or what that lane >> and I heard I heard she she bit she she hit us. >> I understand that. But you're not You see where that car is at?

Yeah, that's what you're supposed to do. >> The way where your vehicle was located. Your vehicle Lich was doing his best to explain his side, but the officer clearly frustrated continually cut him off. Instead of showing patience, the officer lashed out, taking his frustration out on the elderly man. Despite Lich's age and frailty, he didn't care about the force he used. Fully aware that the aggression could easily have cost Lich his life. >> Sit up. >> No, you sit up. Get on the ground. See, sir. >> The officer seemed to care so little about the elderly man he had just hurt. It was clear he hadn't thought twice about the potential consequences of his aggression. Instead of offering assistance or concern, he remained indifferent to Lich's state. even as the elderly man lay incapacitated. In the end, the arresting officer was placed on administrative leave after causing Lich Vvu to lose consciousness and suffer serious injuries, including brain bleed and a fractured neck. Up next is the tragic case of an officer who ended up striking a pedestrian while transporting a suspect to the station and turned a routine drive into a heartbreaking disaster. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh [ __ ] Oh my [ __ ] god. >> Sir. Sir, get call the ambulance right now. They already on the way. Oh my god. >> Call the ambulance. What are you waiting for? >> On September the 19th, 2024, along 5300 Antoine Drive in Houston, Texas, Houston police officers were transporting an arrested suspect in their marked patrol unit to the joint processing center when tragedy struck out of nowhere and turned a routine transport into a devastating incident. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh [ __ ] Oh my [ __ ] god. You didn't see them? >> Oh my [ __ ] god. Kennedy. >> The officer had struck a pedestrian. An accident that sent shock waves through the moment. As they rushed to her side, they clung to the hope that it wasn't as bad as it looked, while praying the damage wasn't irreversible. >> Watch out. Can you breathe? Can you breathe? Hey, watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out, sir. Sir, sir, sir, sir, sir. Call the ambulance right now. >> They already on the way. Oh my god. Call the ambulance. What are you waiting for? >> CPR in progress. >> The officer behind the wheel was frozen in shock and struggling to process what had just happened. A thousand thoughts raced through her mind. Fear, guilt, disbelief, as she faced the gut-wrenching possibility that someone's life now hung in the balance because of her. 91 B75. We need HFD on Antoine. Sir, [Music] >> I did. I already did. >> APR in progress. My mom >> APR north of Pinemont >> and we need a sergeant in >> progress. CPR in progress. in progress in 51. Sergeant monitoring this air. >> Calm down. Calm down.

Breathe. >> Hey, she's moving. Hey, can you talk her leg? >> She got blood in her mouth. >> I understand. She might. She might. Hey, let's get her in recovery. She started breathing. >> You guys know where you're going? >> Uh, TMC. >> She was rushed to the hospital for emergency care, but in a heartbreaking turn of events, it was determined that she had passed away. The incident has since been placed under investigation by the Internal Affairs Division as the department works to uncover exactly what went wrong. From one unworthy cop to the next, he is the disturbing case of an officer who struck a defenseless dog that posed absolutely no threat to him. >> I'm here talking to the officer of the dog. My dog is completely blind and completely deaf. There is many other talk or you want to tell me how to do the job. >> I'm more than happy to talk to the child. >> On the 19th of May 2024, a police officer responded to a call about a stray dog named Teddy. A neighbor had found Teddy, a Shih Tzu mix, wandering in her backyard after he had escaped from his fenced yard. In the small town of Sturgeon, with just 900 residents, where the police also handled animal control duties, the neighbor called them for help. Despite several minutes of trying, the officer was unable to capture Teddy. Then he did something shocking. Neck's broken. There you go. Put your head in there. Put your head in there. Come on, baby. Come on, baby. There you go. There you go. I'm not going to let you bite me. She looking all afraid. There we go. Just get in there. >> Come on, baby. Something you up. I'm going get take help. Got you. Nope. Don't have you. Got small dogs. Got you. Nobody likes to bite me. [Music] There you go. Coming. Coming. Returning to his car, the officer appeared to retrieve a box before driving away as though nothing had happened. He later met Teddy's owner, who was heartbroken to learn that his pet was gone. >> I'm here talking to the officer. dog. There's a person that found my dog and called joint communication and I have spoke with her and she has stated that the dog she fed him gave him water and he was not afraid and she was just waiting which nobody ever contacted her after she called joint communication at which time I responded. >> I'll tell you why we didn't call her. >> Wasn't my dog or anyone else sir? No, I'm going to show you something. >> What? What is your your your show number, sir? >> I'm going to show you something. Come here. >> May I have your answer your questions?

I'm going to show you why we didn't call her. >> That dog was This is to be known record. My dog is completely blind and completely deaf. >> My guy, look at this. >> A 13 lb zoo. >> What does that say right there? Does it say no contact? She said don't call her. >> Now if you want to talk, I'll talk from happen. >> That's not how you handle a situation. If a dog is a threat to a person and harms a person or shows immediate threat, that's when you use force. There is many other >> You want to talk or you want to tell me how to do the job. >> I'm more than happy to talk to you. >> I'm more than happy to talk to you. >> There's no talking. You already took care of it. You handle it very poorly. Also, I like to be on the record that you told me whatever on the phone when I called situation. Hopefully your calls are recorded when I call in. >> Do you want me to respond to anything or you just want to sit here and lecture me? >> I respond to a situation. All I have is information at hand. Correct. All I have is information at hand. I see a dog that is walking around blindly. I don't know the dog's blind. >> You didn't try to cannot respond. Yes, I tried. I have a whole 10-minute contact. We try to contact him. I had a little leash out to try to catch the dog. How am I supposed to know the dog is simply that's his medical condition.

Am I not trying to respond to you? Am I not trying I'm not trying to ease the situation over. This is a situation. I don't enjoy dogs. My guy, all I had was a dog with a condition. I don't know. I don't know anything about it. I am sorry this happened. I'm not happy I had a dog. I got dogs myself. >> How do How am I supposed to know the dog's condition? >> Can you wear a camera? >> I got a camera on this record, but I'm asking how am I supposed to know the dog's condition? Upon hearing that Teddy was completely blind and deaf, the officer showed no remorse and even defended his actions, claiming that they were justified. This response only added to the owner's devastation. >> I understand how to make a dog respond. >> Lethal is last resort. You can use a taser. You can use a lasso. There's many other taser. I had a lasso. >> I had a lasso. I was using a lasso. >> And you did you feel harmed when you were trying to catch him? >> Did I ever say I felt harmed? I felt good. >> Exactly. >> But you're not listening. You're not listening. You're trying to argue, but I'm just sitting here trying to talk to you. >> Did he harm anybody when when we >> I was responding to a situation. Do you want to speak or do you just want to sit here and try to lecture me? I'm not trying to lecture you. I'm not saying you was a bad dog owner. I'm saying I have information. I have it on hand. That's all I'm saying. And I'm sorry it happened to you. I'm sorry I had to do it. That's all I'm saying here. I'm not saying you're a bad owner. You don't see me writing a sites for a dog at large, do you? I'm not. It's a situation, buddy. >> I'm with you. >> Of authority. >> What authority? I went to a dog I thought had medical issues by rules and regul rules of engagement for 12 years. >> How was I know how did I know the dog get hit by a car >> proper way? >> Huh? How did I know the dog didn't get hit by a car? >> Get hit by a car. >> How did I not know that? How did I know not know somebody didn't just throw the dog out? How was I supposed to know any of that? Cuz you're supposed to if you are c if you are dog then you're supposed to catch them and you're not supposed to. >> You did not hear me say I attempted that. That was my first step. >> You take them to the pound. >> We don't have it. We don't have any sight here. >> So what is your procedure surgery and the dog was bleeding internally? Then it's just sitting there suffering and then y'all be on me about the dog suffering. >> So you should >> So how was I supposed to do? >> What else am I supposed to do? We don't have a freaking ammo. It was on there for an hour before you responded and you're supposed to put it online and back. I have everything on my phone for when the lady posted it to let me know he was it was lost >> and everything. >> So it was online for an hour. So I didn't know about it. >> It's all on Facebook. It's all on service. >> That's fine. >> And and the lady has stated that there was no cause for that. There was no reason for it. >> She stayed afterwards. >> She stayed afterwards. >> Yes. >> Yeah. She stated afterwards. >> I understand that. >> And she and you could put them in back and you could put them If I can catch him, I can find him. >> If I can catch him, I can find >> a squealing dog insinuates pain. He was not squealing. >> Okay. You think all dogs squeal when they're in pain? >> Most dogs squeal when they're >> See, not all, but most. Okay. >> Most squeal when they're in pain. >> Yeah. I'm not denying that. Yes. Everything squeals when they're in pain. >> Teddy posed no threat. A fact his owner emphasized, but the officer refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing. >> I can handle a dog if a dog was put down for the proper reason. >> Okay. It's the reason that you went about you're living in a world that you know to pull out a weapon. >> But you know all the conditions of the dog. That's what I don't have. >> He was not aggressive to a person and he was not and a harm to anybody. >> Okay. Why was your dog not put in the house in buddy? >> He was in a kennel. He escaped from I just went to Colombia. >> Okay. And where did I find the dog? >> How do I know? You did not make any attempt to do anything properly besides lethal force. >> What did you not do properly? >> Lethal force. You have you weren't there what you went to. >> You weren't there, but I you know I did everything wrong. >> So So did the dog seen it? >> Show me a taser. Do I got a taser? >> You don't want to have a taser. >> Your hands are probably fine. You whistled to it, didn't respond. You go to it. >> Have you ever Have you ever really worked with training? Do you Have you had dog train? >> Have you ever worked with injured dog? >> Yes. Yes. We get dog training military and at my work. >> I'm military, too. I And then so therefore, you should know a dog that's showing aggression. I know what aggressive dog is. >> All that and that dog does not show any of those sorts. He shows confusion with his head sideways walking side to side. >> And as military, you know, you read the signs you have on hand without all the material. Can you read a a simple peaceful dog? No, you cannot. How was I supposed to know the dog was blind and just confused? How was I supposed to know any of that? >> By attempting to get close to him. You've seen an object, which is always taught to use an object. That way if the dog comes at you, you said you've taken training. The first thing they teach you is to when a dog comes to put an put an object in front of them and they will bite on any object you put in front of them. That's the training that they put out. So you take an object and you touch him and you see how he responds, >> right? Y'all good? >> No, we're not good. >> I'm still sorry it happened to you, brother. >> All right. Have a good Have a better night. >> Have a better night. >> The officer continued to make excuses, even suggesting the dog might have rabies. He claimed it was acting strangely and showing signs of possible injuries, which he described as rabid behavior. However, it was clear the dog was already incapacitated and posed no threat. Unfortunately, the officer faced no disciplinary action and was defended by city officials who stated he acted within his authority. Teddy's owner has since filed a lawsuit seeking justice.
