So to keep a guy from getting on the road came down here, found that he's drunk. So keep him from getting in the vehicle. I'm asking to see if I can see the cameras to prove that he drove up here. No. No. No, we're not doing that. This is an officer from the Houston Police Department. On November 27th, 2022, a police officer responded to a call at a gas station owned by the town mayor, Willie Walker, regarding a man suspected of driving while intoxicated who had reportedly arrived at the station. Witnesses, including the store staff, stated that the suspect drove to the gas station and appeared to be intoxicated. To verify these claims, the officer requested access to the security camera footage. Upon learning that his store was under scrutiny, Mayor Willie Walker showed up infuriated at the scene. I didn't do nothing, man. You drove your car up here and drunk and I'm going to go back here and review those cameras. I didn't drive up here drunk. Sir, you're obviously intoxicated. No, I'm not.

The officer chose not to arrest the suspect, citing insufficient immediate evidence, but firmly warned him against driving the vehicle. The suspect was instructed to leave on foot or arrange alternate transportation. Mayor Willie Walker faced reprimand from the city council for his conduct, while many townspeople voiced criticism over his interference in the police investigation. If you think this was the only cop who got humbled by a higher authority, wait until you watch this next case. Is there some reason you can't roll the window down? I saw you roll it up. I don't answer questions. I don't answer questions. You don't answer questions. That's correct. What's the reason for that? I don't answer questions. Do you want my license and registration or not? This is Officer Jackman from the Louisiana Police Department. On May 7th, 2012, Officer Jackman pulled over an individual who identified himself as Kenny. The traffic stop was initiated after Supervisor Jackman alleged that Mr. Kenny was speeding. While Mr. Kenny complied with Officer Jackman, he firmly asserted his rights by refusing to answer questions he deemed irrelevant. This appeared to unsettle Officer Jackman, who struggled with his ego when his questions went unanswered. Yes, sir. Will you wind it down for me, please? I can hear you just fine. So, I'm going to have to ask you to roll the window down. I can hear you just fine, officer. There's my license. And to roll the window down, please. I can hear you just fine, officer. There's my license. There's my registration. There's my insurance. Is there some reason you can't roll the window down? I saw you roll it up. I'm going to ask you to roll the window down, please. I don't answer I don't answer questions. You don't answer questions. That's correct. What's the reason for that? I don't answer questions. Do you want my license and registration or not? Pronounce your last name for me. I don't answer questions. I'm going to need you to pronounce your last name. I don't answer questions. It's there on the license. The only reason I stopped you is you were traveling 43 in a 30. Actually, I think it said 40. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's 30. You're pretty sure or you're positive? You're pretty sure or you're positive? argue with you. All right, well, I'll just turn around and I'll check. Here's your information. You want to hand it to me, please? I'm That's as far as I'm Would you please stick it through the window? I'm not going to do that, Mr. All right, well, then, I don't know what to tell you. Well, it looks like we're going to be on the side of the road a long time. Well, I guess so. Mr. Kenny firmly insists on not answering any questions while Officer Jackman attempts to gather information about his name and the alleged speeding violation. Officer Jackman could not take on his ego that Mr. Kenny did not fully roll down his window. Initially, Officer Jackman falsely claims that Mr. Kenny was speeding at 43 mph, but later admits uncertainty about the exact speed. Watch how the encounter ultimately concludes. You have been given the opportunity to take your information, Mr. Sooter. Roll your window down so I can hand you the citation. You pass it right through here. Thank you. That's not going to work. Uh yes, it is. Okay. Well, I don't know what to tell you. I'm willing to take it right here. Would you please give this to me or are you not going to give me the ticket? Officer, am I being detained or am I free to go? Am I being detained? Am I being detained? He won't answer me. Mr. Sooter, here's your copy. Thank you. Your court date is June 6th, June 7th at 2:00. Thank you. Am I free to go now? Am I free to go? You're free to I'm not being detained any longer? Nope. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. Are we okay? Yeah. Am I free to go? Yeah. Mr. Kenny refuses to hand over his documents directly through the window and asks whether he is free to go. In court, Mr. Kenny represents himself and challenges Officer Jackman's false statements. He successfully proves that Officer Jackman lied and committed perjury. It was later reported that Officer Jackman was forced to leave the police department following the incident, though the details of this remain unverified. If you think this was the maximum humbling cops could get from higher authority, then you probably aren't aware of this next case. Back, you close to me, I'm going to taze you. Get the hell out of here. Now. Go. Go. Come on, man. Go. Don't touch me. Go. Come on, man. You take one more step close to me, I'm going to taze you. Yeah, he's tazing me up. This is Officer John Petcac from the Cleveland Police Department. On July 24th, 2019, Officer Petcac was ordering an individual named Robert to comply with his instructions for an unknown reason. Officer Petcac tells Mr. Robert to get the hell out of here and warns him that he will use a stun gun if he takes another step toward him. Watch how the situation quickly escalates. What? I'm going to tell you what's going on. Okay, tell me. I need to sign. Get lost or you're going to go with us. Where am I going? Get lost or you're going to come with us. Where am I going? Where am I going? Get lost. Hey, go back to 2100. Okay. All right. Okay. Go back to 2100. All right. Okay. All right. Go back to 2100. I'll go back to my community. Okay. I got Petcac. Hey, my dude, get the hell out of here. Are you going to come with us? All right. Go back to 2100. Go back to 2100. Yeah. Go. I'm done asking. Go back to 2100, man. Go. Go. Back, keep close to me. I'm going to taze you. Get the hell out of here. Now, go. Go. Go. Go. You take one more step closer to me, I'm going to taze you. Get down on THE GROUND, NOW. DOWN ON THE GROUND. 247, NEED ANOTHER CAR. LAY on your stomach, now. Lay on your stomach. Lay on your stomach. Lay on your stomach. Requesting help, 23 spare. Wait, man. Male's detained. We're going to need supervisor here, EMS. Now, that would have been a bullet. That would have been death. We got something different going on. We got something different going on. All right. Boy, y'all tried to hurt me, boy. Yeah, this guy's all fake. Okay. You don't touch me. I don't touch you. I'm waiting on your superior, buddy. on his way. Yeah, I already did everything you asked me, buddy. Don't touch me, bud. And from this moment forward, I do not trust you guys. Anything you want roll you over so you don't land on your stomach. All right? Yeah, shut the [ __ ] up talking to me. I do not trust you. I asked for your superior. Did you give him to you? Yeah, he's on his way. Why you still touching I'm going to roll you over. Oh, you ain't got to roll me over. [ __ ] you. Roll over. Sit up. Oh, this is a setup. This is stupid. This is Mr. Robert continued to resist, stating that he did not trust the officer and requested to speak to a superior. After more resistance, the officer attempted to place Mr. Robert in the car, signaling that he was under arrest. Officer John Petcak was later fired for using excessive force during the incident. Higher authorities took action against Officer Petcak, terminating his employment. If you believe this was the height of cops getting humbled by higher authority, then you probably aren't aware of this next case. Can we talk? Uh, about? About your officer's conduct and the security security guard's conduct. Okay. I would like to know why I was treated so poorly. These are officers from the Veteran Affairs Police. On August 25th, 2023, a veteran visited a Veterans Affairs hospital for a procedure on his left arm and hand, worried about possible nerve damage stemming from a prior assault by Baltimore County Police. While at the hospital, he noticed individuals in plain clothes following him and appearing in multiple areas. The situation escalated further when a transport bus driver confronted him, asking if he was still on probation. Watch how the security personnel at the facility responded to the veteran's concerns. I want a complaint form. That's fine. Let me get you the manager. Yes, sir. No, I don't want a phone number to call. I want complaint forms. I'm not leaving this hospital without complaint forms, Sarge. I will find out from their supervisor if they have that. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay. Okay, I got you. All right, I appreciate it. All right.

He can point her out for you. Come on. Okay, yeah, that would be great. The veteran left the hospital feeling deeply frustrated and more convinced than ever that the police had acted unjustly throughout the encounter. The major, the officer in charge, eventually addressed the veteran, but the interaction appeared to be more of an effort to de-escalate the situation and dismiss the veteran's concerns rather than provide any meaningful resolution. Undeterred, the veteran held the officers accountable throughout the encounter by questioning their conduct and exposing their discomfort with being recorded. If you think this was the last set of cops getting humbled by higher authority, then probably you haven't heard of this next case. How long have you had this problem, man? It was a It was a relapse. I I've been clean 13 years. Uh I just went through a really, really bad divorce recently. Okay. This is Officer Ryan Shore from the Cranston Police Department. On May 15th, 2023, Cranston Councilman Matthew Reilly was discovered unconscious in his car after a concerned citizen reported a man possibly choking in his sleep. When Officer Shore arrived at the scene, he found Mr. Reilly slumped over in the driver's seat holding a crack pipe in his hand. Observe his condition during the interaction when he's confronted by Officer Shore. Oh, no way, dude. Really? Yes. Yes. I was just taking I was just on my way back from court. Bro. Well, arrest is going to come check you out, man. I can't let you go. You were literally choking in your sleep. Somebody flagged me down about it. Oh, no. I have sleep apnea. I'm sorry. Well, and then you have a crack pipe in your hand. So, it's like Look. Come on. Sorry, sir. Listen, I I have a body camera. Obviously, everything I have is recorded. You know that. And what I've observed is on camera. So, I can't pretend I didn't, you know? So, arrest is going to come here. And then they're going to check you out. You know, as far as I know, there's no drugs anywhere. So, I can't, you know, so there's not a criminal investigation. There's more a health and well-being check type thing. Thank you.

All right. Just went through a really really bad divorce recently. Okay. Um uh do you know if any of that was laced with fentanyl or anything cuz you were out out and like looked like you were choking. Really? Yeah. That's why somebody literally sprinted and and flagged me down cuz they thought you were having a heart attack or choking. Mr. Riley was awakened and appeared disoriented, showing physical signs of drug use such as a burnt lip. He admitted to smoking crack cocaine earlier that day and relapsing after 13 years of sobriety, mentioning that a recent divorce had triggered his relapse. A search of the vehicle uncovered drug paraphernalia and a white powdery substance, which was later confirmed to be crack cocaine. Watch how the encounter concludes as Officer Shore handles the situation. I have an option here, man. Sorry. No, you got anything on you? Anything I should be worried about? I'll uh I got both hands All right. There's stuff all over that car. If your mother gets in that car, I bet she sits in that and touches her face or mouth and goes down.

Just follow me. Yeah, I mean, I wasn't joking. I have an appointment on on 117th Street. I'll crack a window for you in a second. Thank you. Mr. Riley was arrested at the scene and under pressure from Mayor Ken Hopkins resigned as chairman of Cranston's Republican Party and stepped down from the city council. Mr. Riley's arrest attracted significant scrutiny toward the police department with Officer Shore potentially facing indirect pressure due to the political and media fallout. It's strange to see cops held accountable by higher authorities when they overstep their bounds. If you enjoyed this video, make sure to drop a like and subscribe for more. Goodbye.
