What's good everybody? Welcome back to Body Cam Vibes. Back with another body cam video. We are going to discuss today. Shout out to EWU body cam for this video. Y'all already know their stuff be good, so let's not waste any time. Let's get into it. >> Report is based on official police records released today, and most of the footage has never been seen before until now. Please note that all persons charged with a crime are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. On the afternoon of October 15th, 2025, a 911 call comes in about a head-on collision in the middle of the highway in Thurston County, Washington. >> 911, what are you reporting? >> Um, an accident on Where am I? Old Pacific. It's at the T. It just happened. I witnessed it from my direction. Um, I don't know if the person lost conscious, some type of medical emergency. >> Is the person conscious? >> I I don't know until I get closer. I'm >> And are you able to safely check? >> Yeah. Um, Yes. Okay. Let me put hazards on. >> The caller approaches the vehicle that seemingly caused the crash, but she quickly realizes that something is off with the driver, perhaps dangerously so. >> Yes, he's conscious. >> Okay. Are there any obvious injuries? >> He's got a laceration on his forehead. Should we do anything until EMS gets here? >> Is that a laceration on his forehead you're seeing? >> Yeah, I'm not >> Okay. >> Um, he does not look stable, either. >> Right. >> Yeah, I'm walking away from him. >> The caller isn't the first one to notice. Moments earlier, another witness had attempted to check on the driver. >> Opened up the front door and asked if the person inside was okay. Um, all I could see was his shoes, and the airbag was covering the rest. Um, he said, um, "I'm carrying or I I have a gun. Don't touch me or I'll shoot you." >> The collision sent both vehicles spinning off the highway and traffic is backing up. It's this scene that a local school resource officer encounters on her way home from work, unaware that she's only moments away from a vicious fight for her life. >> The GT-R is flying on the freeway. >> Copy. I'm just getting on scene. >> Hurry. >> The SRO, a deputy with the Thurston County Sheriff's Office, goes first to the woman in the white vehicle who is already being tended to by other motorists. She then doubles back to check on the driver of the gray Chevy where she begins to realize that something isn't quite right. >> Right now, the driver Sheriff is approaching him right now, but he won't take his hand out of his pants. >> Does he appear to be breathing normally? >> Nope. And staggering. He doesn't seem to be violent, but >> The deputy approaches the man, later identified as 47-year-old Brian Fleming, who is standing in front of his smashed SUV, blood dripping from his head, his hand tucked into his waistband. He ignores her instructions to sit down. >> I got one that's driving my Acura TLX right now. >> Why don't we see him, then? >> I'm not sure if he's got a gun. >> Suddenly, the man begins running towards her, his right hand still partially concealed. >> He's refusing to show his hand. >> As the deputy draws her taser, her body cam is automatically activated. >> Be advised, he just charged at me, then just ran back into the car. He can't go anywhere. It's missing a wheel. Where's my closest unit? >> Backup is speeding to the scene, but as the situation deteriorates, the question is whether they can get there in time. >> If you were a cop man, how would you >> [clears throat] >> Your adrenaline would probably be up. Somebody coming to you like that. How would you handle that? You would just just wait for back up or >> I'm sorry. He would be dead already. >> Damn. >> I'm being honest. >> [laughter] >> She done told him to take his hands out of his his pants. >> Yeah. >> Two people done said something weird about him. I ain't going to give him no chance to kill me. >> I know what you're saying. Hey, y'all let us know in the comments what y'all would do. >> Why don't you have a seat, sir? Hey, everything's okay. Just have a seat. Have a seat for me. He's in and out of the car looking around, not making any aggressive movements right now, but not complying with my verbal commands. Hey, why don't you have a seat? >> But as her colleagues dodge traffic and race around corners, this tense scene is about to spiral into violent chaos. >> Have a seat for me, sir. Hey, have a seat. If you approach me, you're going to get tased. Have a seat. You're not going near those people either. Have a seat or you're going to get tased. He's attempting to approach the other car. I'm giving him verbal commands to stop approaching me. He's still approaching. He's going to get tased. >> Uh-oh. What the hell is he doing? Oh, [ __ ] Is she tasing him? Oh, no. >> Get on the ground. >> Damn. >> Tase not working. >> Damn. >> Get on the ground. Get on the ground, now. >> OH, HE'S TRYING >> DON'T let him don't let him get too close. >> He's trying TO GET MY GUN. He's trying to get my gun. He's trying >> Hell yeah. >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> He doesn't >> I'm already dead anyway, man. >> He said I'm already dead anyway. >> Additional law enforcement, including an off-duty corrections officer, jump in to try and restrain the suspect. And it turns out he's not as impervious to electricity as it seemed. >> [screaming] >> Put your hands ON YOUR BACK RIGHT NOW. PUT YOUR HANDS ON YOUR BACK. I'M GOING TO I'm going to taze you. Put your hands behind your back. >> Hands behind YOUR BACK, [ __ ] >> TASING TASING TASING. >> Taser taser >> Go check yourself out. Go ahead. >> With the suspect Brian Fleming finally in handcuffs, it will now be up to investigators to find out exactly how this incident, which started as a car crash, turned into a violent struggle for survival. And those bizarre answers will come soon enough. >> All right. >> Yeah, I'm good. Thank you. >> All right, it's probably loaded or not. It's already on you. Radio on policy >> Taser deployed on the subject and he's detained now. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Hey, buddy. >> Everyone at the scene is intensely aware of how much worse this could have been. The suspect stands 6'2" 210 lb, giving him 7 in on the deputy and outweighing her by 70 lb. >> She let him get too close. >> Yep. yeah, yeah. >> All right? >> Yeah, I just don't want to get my gun. >> As the corrections officer later notes, Brian indeed came very close to doing just that. >> He wasn't complying, he was still trying to get her her handgun, so I started impacting the back of his head with the muzzle of my gun, telling him to stop or I was going to have to shoot him. I was fighting for an angle and watching her holster cuz he was trying to break the retention on her holster, and if the retention broke, I was going to have to shoot, so I was looking for an angle where I could do that safely. >> It will later come to light that Brian had hidden advantages. In addition to his size, he holds a brown belt in jujitsu. >> Good. >> Yeah. >> How you feel? >> Like a little bit. >> Well, >> So good. >> fantastic for somebody of that size. Absolute fantastic. And he's super intoxicated. I can't smell it or anything on him. >> I mean, I bet you I bet at least four or five of my palms did that. >> Oh, yeah, cuz I could feel it. >> [laughter] >> I'm sitting here like, "Tase him down." And everything, I'm like, "Ugh." >> Yeah. >> When another officer finds the deputy's taser, he notes in his report that it was completely empty, meaning all 10 probes had been deployed. When investigators later speak to Brian himself, they get some surprising answers about what happened on the highway today. >> Was any force used on you by an officer? >> Yes. >> Okay. Can you explain what kind of force was used against you, what happened? >> It's a blank. I don't know. >> Brian tells investigators that he was diagnosed bipolar at the age of 18, but hasn't been taking the proper medications. Instead, he takes Adderall. >> Do you think that there's anything you could have done differently in the situation? >> Yeah. >> You said yeah, what's that? >> I don't know. I mean yes, I had something better. But I thought I was being chased, so >> Investigators reach out to his wife who says he's been struggling in recent days with paranoia, turning off the lights in their home and making her and the children hide from people he believed were out to get him. She says he left the house that morning to get eggs and never returned. >> Dang. >> know if the officer gave you any verbal warnings? Did you hear them yelling at you? >> I don't. >> You said yes? Do you remember what they said? >> I don't. >> Okay. >> There's a lot that I don't recall. >> Okay. >> Um I had just started a new medication, too. >> He doesn't specify the medication, but he does admit to drinking seven bottles of NyQuil that day in an effort to fall asleep. But while that could possibly shed light on the accident, it doesn't quite explain what motivated the incident with law enforcement. >> You trying TO GET MY GUN. GET OUT OF THE [ __ ] >> BRIAN tells police that his sole reason in reaching for the deputy's weapon was so he could use it on himself. Whether or not that's the whole truth, the deputy is surely fortunate not to find out. >> Let me take a look. >> He said I was trying to get his gun. >> Nope, you did awesome. You're fine. >> Hey, ain't no shoes bleeding. >> Me either. >> Okay. >> The police report notes that the deputy didn't sustain any significant injuries, nor did the driver of the oncoming vehicle. Brian himself required staples in his skin, but was also remarkably unharmed. He was charged with third-degree assault, attempted disarming of a law enforcement officer, driving under the influence, reckless driving, obstructing a law enforcement officer, and resisting arrest. He is free on $10,000 bond while his case moves forward. To access more of our content including extras >> Oh, man. Uh I was about to say something about the the situation. I want to say something about the the cop. >> [clears throat] >> Um First off, I knew he was on something. >> Mhm. >> I know he had to be on some kind of drugs, some kind of medication or I knew that he may have some mental issues. >> Mhm. >> And she like you said earlier, when I paused the video, you said he would have been on the live. >> Yeah, no, I I didn't say I would have did that. I'm just saying I would have I would have shot him somewhere. All right, I said I'm not giving him a chance to kill me. Cuz he was trying to get her weapon. >> Oh, you said he would have been dead. >> Oh, well, I mean, you know, injured or something. >> [laughter] >> Yeah, I know what you're saying. Yeah, I just wanted to correct that. I'm um get to that point. I know what you were saying. >> Yeah. >> You didn't get to do You don't want him to have no chance to come >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> to you. >> Like pop him in the leg or something. >> Yeah, so some another Somebody in the comments would say, "Nah, you right, Silver. I would have >> [laughter] >> I mean, you Okay, considering what happened the way it happened, yes. >> Mhm. >> You You You just wanted to protect yourself. >> Mhm. >> Think about protection. But you never know what happened. Like you You don't want to say "Oh, I'll end a life of somebody and they just had a mental illness." >> Right. >> Right. So. Yeah. [clears throat] >> Yeah, yeah, I get it. Hey, about That's your first thought though. You don't want nobody to come into you run into you like that. >> Yeah. That's why I was like, "Oh, no, you let him get too close." >> Yeah, it's That's what That's the point. She let him get too close. He shouldn't have been running there reaching for that. >> No. >> To that power pile like that. You done him get too close to I'm going to say something. I know some people get mad at me, but a lot of I said this in another video and some women got mad at me, but a lot of women agree with me. That's why I'm not trying to be funny. I believe women can do anything. I I believe in equal rights. That's just me. I just think sometimes I don't think women should be cops. That's That's my >> I think >> That's my personal opinion. >> I think they can be whether or not they should be. I think they can be. >> Yeah, yeah, you can be. >> Um [clears throat] >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I'm not hating on that. >> Yeah. I just think um it has to be a fine line in which they can be more safer than the average man. >> You understand? >> For example, this would have been a normal traffic stop. This could have been something a woman could have handled, but you never know who's behind the wheel and this goes to show you that sometimes um women should have maybe more safer job, but actually when you think about it, there's no safe police job. >> There ain't. There ain't. [clears throat] >> Because this was supposed to be maybe a traffic stop and by them being equal and trying to give women equal rights, I guess they not saying, "Hey, cuz you're a woman now you can do this type of stop or whatever." Like she was the first person on the scene. So regardless, you know, if it would have been a man, the same thing would have happened. >> have. >> So I don't know how you can safeguard women from being thing. So I can understand why you saying that. I kind of agree. >> What I'm What I'm saying is also This is what I'm saying. It's another video I did and this woman had arrested this woman at the bus stop and she was trying to hold her down and pin her and the and the woman ended up flipping her and hurting her and she looked so innocent. Like I said, you you need to be behind the desk going away, sister. And I'm not trying to be funny. I just think sometime in my mind I just feel like they shouldn't be cops, man. That's just my That's just my opinion. Can they be? Yeah, they can. But, I just think they shouldn't be. I think they should be do a little more things safer. Oh, I know the women going to come at me. What you trying to say? We can't do I'm saying y'all y'all can. But, >> [laughter] >> I know You know what I'm trying to say. You know what I'm trying to say. >> I think women get more offended before they consider what you're saying. >> Yeah, don't get offended. >> Yeah, you're basically saying not that women are weaker, it's just that you want to have women be protected. I feel like that's what you're saying. Because I know who he is, so I know how he thinks about women. Like, you don't want to have your woman, your wife, your mother of your children >> Exactly. >> out doing um more aggressive things or getting into confrontations with men that they may not be able to handle. Like, because you wouldn't normally tell a woman go and fight a man. You wouldn't normally tell a woman go you know, get into this conflict with a man cuz it just doesn't seem right. So, how is it that you know, a woman who's a female who's a officer, whether she be 5'10" or 5'3", can go and like, you know, commandeer this this suspect. You know, it just you know, it just it's not going to equal out sometimes. >> Yeah, she said she said it right for me. That's what I'm trying to say all in all. Because it could have went left. >> Oh, yeah. >> And I'm glad that she was safe. I'm glad everything worked out, man, cuz I just I The reason why I say those things cuz I I put myself uh in that could be my wife. That could be my daughter. You know what I'm saying? Like, oh no, she come back and she was on the line by a five six foot two dude >> Yeah. >> who had a mental issue or was on drugs or something like that. That's what I'll be thinking about. But, um I I see a lot of mistakes that she did make. And that first mistake is let him come too close to her. >> Yeah. >> Um, that's that's the first mistake. And then, he probably was so high when the taser hit him, he didn't even feel it. >> Yeah. >> But, he felt that second one, though. You know, >> Yeah. >> dude had came and held him down. It just It just scary and crazy out here, y'all. Like, somebody could just flip. >> Yeah. >> And you don't know if they got mental issues. They don't know if they got drugs. This man said he took 10 NyQuils. What he say? >> 10 NyQuils. Oh my goodness. NyQuil and he was on some type of medication and he's bipolar. Like, >> Yeah. That's a bad combination. Good lord. >> That's a whole lot of stuff. >> That's a whole lot of stuff right there, man. All right, dog. Um, anything you want to add to it? >> Um, it was uh something else I was going to say about women and and police, but oh, I was just thinking that um we see a lot of the times that um um CPS workers or whatever DSS or whatever y'all call them wherever y'all are that that um look in on children or people that are in um bad situations, um normally they have to have a police officer to go with them um to accompany them when they are going to either take a child or something like that. I think those sometimes should be jobs that more women should have. >> Mhm. >> Unless they know a man is supposed to be at a house or whatever on the scene, then I think sometimes women should do like like that type of job, like working at schools, um being a you know, security officers, elementary schools, middle schools. You know, just something more safer but still being able to be a police officer. That's what I was going to say. Like, that there's just being out in the field like like just being like that, I don't think so. But, also being a detective, yeah. Something where you're just not out there rumbling with >> Yeah. >> you know, mentally ill people or crazy ass people every day. >> yeah. I I'm a man. And if I was to be a police officer, I don't want to be out there. >> Yeah. >> And they would have said, "Be behind the desk and answer those calls." Yes, sir. 10-4. Yes, sir. We got a dispatch. We got this call over here. >> [laughter] >> No, I would be behind the desk. I'm like, "I ain't trying to go out there fool them crazy ass people, man. That is crazy." >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Features all, man. Um but that's all that we got to say. Y'all come to the comments let us know what y'all think about this one. I do have something else to say. >> Mhm. >> But I'm not going to say it. >> Uh Yeah, oh, you must be thinking the same thing I'm thinking. >> to say it. >> Yeah. >> And I don't want you saying nothing. >> I'm not. >> But I'm going to say a little bit. >> [laughter] >> And only ones who know, they know. Thank y'all for being here. Thank y'all for the love support on this channel. I really appreciate it. But I'mma say one thing though before I go. They was a little lenient on that guy with these charges. >> Mhm. >> But I'mma tell you right now if he was
