Spit in my face and you're going to It's all right here, buddy. Right here. It's all right here. It's all right here, buddy. I'm not breaking any laws. I'm not doing anything. He just spit in my face. Woah, woah, I didn't break any laws. I haven't broken the law. No, no, no, but I Do you have reasonable articulable suspicion I committed a crime? What? What is this? What is it? What's the matter? I I'm a journalist. I knocked on the door and asked questions. No, I have no weapons on me. My camera down. Don't move until I get back up units. You can put it away. >> What's your name? Officer Manske says right here. He pulled out a gun on me for knocking on the door? >> You're on his property.

When you call 911, what do you say? You're in trouble with somebody. >> That's why you're doing it cuz he's a State Trooper. Not like this. 100%. If we think there's an active disturbance, then we we we respond on code three, which means lights and sirens, and we're in a emergency response. >> see the spit on my face? I don't. You don't see the spit on my face? >> I want him arrested. He spit in my face. All right. On camera. Okay. I want you to lock him up. I knocked on her door and he spit in my face. You can't do that. I know what you're saying. There's spit all over. I'm going to go get DNA test on the spit so you can see it. There is no crime for spitting. So if you are a police officer, you can splash and get away with it. So, what's going to happen with that? So, we went through the assault statute specifically, and there's nothing that specifically states that spitting on somebody is an assault unless it caused you physical pain. Um and that's under the exception of if he spit on an officer then that is when bodily fluids become involved. So he can spit on me, in my face, and in my mouth, and there that's not against the law? circumstances. I'm saying that it doesn't really fit the assault charge. So what happened if I spit on you? Well, then you would get arrested because I'm an officer. You can't spit on an officer because in the assault on an officer charge, bodily fluids are included. So there is no charge? >> It doesn't fit assault. Well, what does it fit? Isn't that your job to find out? What does it fit? Like what what what crime it is? breach of peace, but you're on his property, you in interacted, you engaged the interaction, I mean.

Officer Gallegos, who was caught on video spitting in the faces of people and drawing a gun without just cause, has not been charged with any crime. Other officers who arrived at the scene did not investigate Gallegos, but instead assisted in arresting the whistleblower. Next, an off-duty police officer is suddenly asked to surrender his gun and badge in the middle of a parking lot. But what makes him so determined not to cooperate? If you refuse, we're not going to have no choice but to put you on administrative We got 9,100 bills that we have to get through. I got to call the bank. I got to go back to my house. So Nobody's going to go in your vehicle. Nobody's going to take you out. Can't I just open the door and not touch anything? When a superior gave him a direct order, he responded with a single sentence that raised the tension to a dangerous level. I will do it but not now. So what was really going on? If you refuse, we're not going to have no choice but to put you on administrative And what does that mean? That means that we have to take your gun, take your badge, and then you got to go to the chief's office.

"I know the law," he shouted, but the other officers replied, "We are not talking about the law. This is an administrative order." Was someone abusing their power or hiding something? Well, after we get done, then you contact the Sheriff's Office, and then you can make a report. Sergeant, I would do that. Okay, I'm just telling you. You got to I understand you're frustrated, but you're going about things the wrong way. I can't go anywhere. I understand, but you have to do it now. That's what they're telling you is you have to.

Amidst weary sighs and bitter words, the police been blurted out, "I just want to go home." But what makes it not so simple? They going to tell me Don't get too close.

Citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights pursuant to 42 US Code SS 1983. Individuals/organizations are required to pay damages to the injured party. Violating police officers may be disciplined, have their licenses suspended, fired, or expelled depending on the policy of the agency/police chief. The fact that an off-duty police officer could drive a public vehicle, carry a weapon or not, and refuse to be tested shows a gap in internal management and discipline. The conversation lasted nearly 40 minutes with unusual patience from superiors, raising questions about bias and the possibility of internal cover-ups. Up next, a camera, a citizen, and police overreaction. When power exceeds its limits, freedom becomes an excuse for repression. No, ma'am, we're not going to arrest you. We're going to ask you to leave peacefully. I know, but if I don't But if I Let me just It's a stupid question, but if I stay, I'll be arrested. You'll be arrested.

I have my credentials. free speech man A citizen with a camera and the title of freelance journalist walked into the Charleston Airport simply to film a story. But with a camera and the label of freedom of the press, things started to take a turn. Wow. This guy's boarding tickets, checking TSA screening, baggage and ground. I like the green in the background. Hey. United Guest Services with your information and your crazy bow. You got You got the Airport Aviation Authority Police. You got the uh DHS. They got Customs.

Who do you think they are? Well, I know who they are, but do you know who they are? You must be getting confused then of who it is. It must be two different people. The police stepped in, not because there was a crime, but because of a camera, and the debate over the right to be present officially began. What do you mean it's your policy? >> It's my policy to film anybody who's talking to me. That's my company's policy. Okay, I'm going to actually have to call the um security cuz you're filming. I don't understand why you just Is this not open to the public? No, no. You're good. What's going on? 47, dispatch. See if you have any idea. And who are you, sir?

The police wanted identification, but had no legal reason to ask for it. A legal clash ensued. Do you have credentials for your free speech? Ma'am. I'm just asking. I'm not playing games. You're asking me for credentials. >> You're asked to leave. Pretty much, yeah. Is that Is that But I mean, you're in charge. So if I leave right now, I'm going to be arrested? Be careful what you say. Be careful. Yes. It's constitutionally protected activity. >> Okay. And then you're going to be asked to leave. Okay. You're going to be escorted off the property.

So, you're soliciting a trespass that you're just sitting there and violating civil rights. This is your chief of police for the aviation authority. This is absolutely disgusting. Civil rights violation. You're shutting it down before the service is even closed. >> Police conduct. There were signs of abuse of power when asking the camera man to leave a public area without providing a clear legal reason. When personal reasons become shields, internal discipline is just a joke.
