I can't stop you from filing out this week. I know that. I respect that. You probably end up on TikTok later. >> Is English your second language or something? I'm I'm asking you a question. >> No, you just leave for today. That's all. And if you can come back, but just not record within here. >> No, sir. So, I'll just call when I know that the time has >> That's what I asked. I said, how is if he doesn't want to give that? >> On camera. And just minutes later, an entire [music] police force is left humiliated in front of thousands of viewers. Let me ask you a question. Do you know what the First Amendment is? >> Kind of sort of just, like I said, wanted to speak to a supervisor. >> Police showed up with lights and sirens blaring, but with just one sentence, the auditor left them silent and backing away. He was just standing outside with a camera, but minutes later, staff were shouting, "HIPA!" and calling the police. >> Make sure. >> So, let me ask you a question. You You said you understand the First Amendment, right? And because of a camera, two police cars came racing in with sirens blaring, blocking the entire entrance as if they were arresting a dangerous criminal. But there was no criminal at all. See if he wants to come over and talk. See how the Palmer police handles this. >> How's it going? What's up? >> What's going on? >> How can I help you guys today? >> Oh, we just got a call saying someone was I here. Not a big deal. >> Someone was I? >> Yeah, I guess someone was complaining about being filmed. >> Oh jeez. >> You guys respond with your lights on and cutting off traffic like that for calls like that? >> Yep. >> Wow. >> So, uh, just wondering what's going on. >> I have no idea. I've just been standing here. >> Okay, cool. Cool. Well, I'll tell you what. I'm just going to cut right to the chase. The people in there that work there. >> Yeah. >> Said you were calling them names, called somewhere. I don't honestly care what happened in there that much as long as there was no crime committed, no assault, battery, nothing. >> It doesn't look like you're yelling. I don't know what you're going to be doing. I really don't care about that either. So, they don't want you here. I'm going to make sure they don't want you here and you have to leave this property. >> Yeah. No, I haven't even been on the property the entire time. I've been in the public easement, man. >> All right. >> Can I get you guys' name and badge number? >> Yeah, sure. Officer, badge 11. >> Officer Gray, badge. >> Deg Gray, >> number seven. >> Cool. Thanks. >> So, like I said, I get what you're doing. I respect it. >> Um, make sure nothing happened and we'll hopefully get out of here. All right. >> Hey, what about this guy that's going to have to leave in a second? Is this like a an emergency or >> Well, we got we have we got a saying that someone here was I so we respond responded to it as a disorderly conduct. >> Ah, really? >> When the auditor asked the officer point blank, "Do you know the five rights in the first amendment?" The entire scene fell silent. Their response left everyone watching in shock. >> You thought there was more going on than someone? >> Yeah, with the way you guys pulled up, I would have expected so too. respond to what the reporting party says going. I think that >> sounds good. >> I don't know. I don't know until it's done. >> I have a couple though. >> What's that? >> I have a couple though. >> Yeah. >> Now, let me ask you a question. >> You think two cop cars with their lights on sitting in the middle of the parking lot is good for a weed business? They're the ones who call us here. >> Yeah, I know. I'm just asking what like, you know, >> good for a weak business. >> You think that should bring in and attract a whole bunch of people? >> It probably does the opposite. You think? >> Suppose I don't understand the question. >> Let me ask you a question. You know what the First Amendment is? >> Free speech. Yeah. >> Yeah. So, you're here. >> So, so hold on. Hold on. I I >> I know what you're doing. >> Okay. I'm asking you a question. No. No. I I never said that you were here to stop me. So, I asked you a question. >> Responded the way we did. That's cuz we got a call. I'll just wait. Someone was being >> That's why we came here the way we did. >> Does that answer your question on that? >> No, I I didn't even get to ask my question. >> Ready to make sure. >> So, let me ask you a question. You You said you understand the First Amendment, right? Do you know what five elements there are of the First Amendment? >> What are you asking? What am I do you want me to just repeat the same question or >> do you know what the five elements of the first amendment >> leaving you alone? >> So you don't so you don't want to ask you don't want to answer any questions to >> speak you already have the script >> right so do you understand what the five elements of the first amendment are. >> Tell me. >> No I'm asking you if you know them. You took an oath to uphold the constitution. Yes or no? >> Yes or no? >> We're not playing a game. I'm not >> not playing this game. >> Is English your second language or something? I'm I'm asking you a question. I'm >> not playing this game. >> There is no game. >> There is a game. >> What's the game? >> That's why you're out here in freezing cold weather with a camera. >> You're out here in freezing cold weather with a camera, too. >> Right. Paid to do a job and they call. >> Me, too. >> Fair enough. >> So, cool. We're on the same page. >> So, why do you usually act like this when when people ask you questions? like nonresponsive and combative and not giving me answers and saying, "Okay, there's a game." >> Right. Okay. Okay. We'll just start over then. We'll just start over then. Do you know what the first Do you know what the five elements of the First Amendment are? No. I'm asking you if you know. >> I'm asking you to tell me. >> Hit with question after question. The officers still refuse to provide the call number. Something that should have been public. What are they hiding? Or are they simply afraid of being exposed on camera? You're choosing to not be like that. >> Oh, you're not you're not you're not authorized to disclose. >> What is that? Like just you like the state of Massachusetts came to just you or is that like an all officer thing? >> Oh, that's a all police department record or something like that. >> It's not a record. It's a CAD number, dude. >> But I'm not here to argue about that. So, what I am going to let you know, they don't want you on their >> All right. Well, I don't want you to give me any more any more directives. I'm all set, man. >> That's fine. >> Hey, you guys are dismissed, though. Have a good one. Take it easy. >> Yeah. I mean, I'm just going to double check this isn't on their GIS on their property. Um, if it is, you got to go somewhere else. >> Yeah, you can double check on the GIS, but you can't get a simple CAD number for me. There you go. That's brilliant. >> I know you're not. I I just heard you. >> So, I'll be right back. Um, >> and I'll be right here as I will be pass when you guys leave. Just one sentence from the auditor and the entire group of officers fell silent and walked away right there in the street. They were flat out dismissed. >> Like I said, they don't want you here. Um, don't go. We're going to give you 3 ft. You can't go. >> Yeah. You You don't decide what it is. I know what public easement laws are, so it's not what you give me. >> I'm sure you do. So, >> here's the thing. Let's be realistic. It could be trespassing. >> Yeah. And if you go in there and rob the place or try to hold anybody up, you'll be put right under citizen's arrest. You'll be all good. >> Not sure what that means, but sure. Um, >> what part of it was hard to understand? >> Your thought process here. So, like I said, you're you're good. We You're obviously not detained or anything. Um, just don't go past. >> Yeah. Just don't rob banks or >> Yeah. Don't rob banks. >> Don't speed. >> That's how we're going to go. >> There you go. Don't play in this traffic. >> We're going to get out of here. And uh, >> thanks. Hey, I appreciate your help on the simple CAD number though. That's great. >> Yeah, like I said, I can't give you that. >> Yeah, you can't give me that. Okay. >> Yeah, we'll see what your policies in your department think about that later. >> I don't believe I can provide that to you. >> Now, now it's you don't believe you can. Okay. >> I can. Okay. >> I'm not here to argue with you. Don't come on the property or there could be >> Don't rob any banks. >> Yeah, that's illegal, dude. All right. >> There you go. Take it easy now. >> You're dismissed. >> How's it going? I saw here. >> Hey, >> ask if you uh usually do this in this area. >> Uh yeah. Well, I've been doing it in here in this area for a little bit now. But yeah, >> fail. >> Oh, dude. They're they're terrible. You know, I mean, they're they're trying to tell me how far the public easement is, and they're saying like, "Oh, you only have we're going to give you like, you know, it's the unnecessary directives. It's the unnecessary directives." You're right. >> Exactly, man. Exactly. >> So, you have to deal with that. >> It is what it is. I've dealt with a lot worse. >> Well, I thought it was all down south or somewhere else like Boston. >> No, no. So, I I did start it down south. That's where I did start it. >> Okay. >> But yeah. >> Do you have a YouTube channel or something? >> Yeah. Yeah. First Amendment. >> Citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights [music] pursuant to 42 US Code SS1983. Individuals/organizations are required to pay damages to the injured party. Violating police officers may be disciplined, [music] have their licenses suspended, fired, or expelled depending on the policy of the agency/ police chief. The auditor believes the police abused their authority, acted unprofessionally, misunderstood [music] the law, and showed a lack of respect toward the public. Up next, right at the entrance of the SSA, security blocked the camera, and ordered him to step outside, [music] while the federal CFR sign allowing recording was hanging right beside them. Oh, the law say I'm done. >> We could have this conversation outside, sir. Come on. >> No, when I'm done, I will, sir. >> With all due respect, man, you have to wait out here until this gentleman steps inside. >> And then honestly, we're going to have to escalate it. I I will [snorts] definitely escalate. >> Escalate how? >> Calling the upper management. Not from here. Not from here. >> Oh, you talking about like the police? >> My upper management. >> Oh, yeah. I I suggest that you do that, man. Then they'll tell you I can do it. I suggest that you actually do that. They're going to tell you I'm good to go. See you you can >> Yeah, definitely. So, so, uh, this guy, man, you could just tell, man. He is totally misinformed, man. But like I said, man, um you know, the uh ever since then, like I said, it's new case law where you can't go past these second doors right here, which I still don't agree with that, but you definitely can be right where I'm at." >> The atmosphere grew tense as security started applying pressure, trying to control the situation by any means, despite there being no crime committed at all. Man, that I guess the security guy that gave you guys a ring is I'm trying to inform him that we have a right to record right where I'm standing at, but he's not interested in that today. It's right there on the CF CFR code of federal regulations, but he's not interested in that. Uh, and I really came in just to see if we can possibly speak to a supervisor at this location just to see if they're willing to remove the other sign up there because it's a contradiction to the rights that we have uh to the right of that sign. That's what did they actually say on 911? >> Well, we didn't really talk to anybody. Oh, >> yeah. We only get a little bit of information. Okay. So, >> that's the gist of it. Yeah. >> What brings you here today? Are you trying to get some work done here or >> uh Well, kind of sort of just, like I said, wanted to speak to a supervisor. That was my initial reason for coming and to be able to exercise our rights to record in public. That's about that's about it. You know, >> to take a sign >> if the if the manager's willing to do it. Yeah. I don't know if he or she is, but Hopefully. If so, you know, that's, you know, >> I'm trying to read the English. >> Yeah. So, the the main one is over there, but yeah, you can read that one, too. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, that's that's and you can you actually see the actual code is actually here. Let me find it for you. Right there where it says news and advertising purposes. exactly where I'm standing, you know. So, I I've tried to convey it to the young man. He was absolutely like not interested at all. He's holding up these fine folks out here outside. I think that's that that that's not necessary. [snorts] Sad, man. These people standing out there in the cold, man. >> [snorts] >> The police arrived, but instead of taking immediate action, they stood caught between two lines. Federal law that allows recording and the agency demanding a total ban >> essentially outside the building. Okay. Because of the touchcreen thing here where people are actually entering in their social security numbers and personal information. >> Okay. That's why there's no recording allowed right here or actually inside because people are giving personal information such as social security numbers. >> Yeah, that is that is the concern. >> So I I understand what you're saying and what the manager may be saying. He or she's not willing to come out to talk to us. >> They're in the office. That's >> okay. Well, the thing is and this officer just read the law. The law state I'm just saying. >> I haven't even looked at it, but >> Oh, okay. Yeah. So the law is right there saying that we can. >> Okay. >> Yeah. It has no it has no exceptions as long as your bill is interest. I already know we can't go past their door. We used to be able to go past their door. Now we can't. >> Okay. >> So I don't even want them to try to restrict the little rights that we do have which they had already done and they're trying to extend them. >> What I could advise you if that's an issue that you have is >> take a picture of that law. >> Yeah. >> They're asking that you just leave for today. That's all. And if you can come back but just not record within here. >> Yeah. I'm definitely going to I'm definitely going to. If you have an issue with that, then you take a picture of the laws. It states here in the vestibule, right? >> And then bring that to whatever civil suit if you would like. >> No, not that's not necessary. >> I just adise because all they want for today is just for you to to leave the premises for today and not record. >> And I and I definitely will. I definitely will, but but I I'm not done with the business that I'm trying to conduct. So, like I said, I'm >> What is that business? >> Well, if the manager is not willing to speak to me, that's okay. I still need to follow for you. So, I'm I'm going to do that as well. >> Okay. With >> this department. >> Our department. No, the Social Security Administration. >> Oh, okay. >> Yeah. And and I have a right to record while doing so. So, I mean, they just want me to leave because they want me to stop recording and we're not that's going to be an infringement. >> I don't want you guys to get tied into that, you know? >> And again, that that's what they're asking us to tell you, okay? >> Is that if you could leave for today and if you want to go about that foyer process and everything else, >> right, >> you I would that's up to you. Okay. But but for right now, they just would like you to to leave for today. Is that is that okay? When I'm done, officer, like I said, what what's your name and badge number, sir? >> Officer Bazdell. >> Bestellic. >> Besellic. Okay. >> 147. >> Appreciate you, sir. I can get your name. >> Eps 128. >> Appreciate it, man. You guys, both cameras are on. >> Okay, great. That's beautiful. Like I said, >> conversation with with the manager as well. >> For sure. So, I mean, if you want to go back and tell them just, you know, when I'm done conducting the business that I'm conducting, I'll be out of their hair, but I'm not good. >> The confrontation didn't stop at filming. It turned into a legal standoff with documents, federal regulations, and constitutional rights laid out on the table. >> There you go. >> All right. Here's where we're at. So, they >> received Okay. >> Okay. >> The gentleman is saying that this will get it's on camera saying this to me >> and it'll get sent out to the central office. However, >> how would you like it received >> to the material before request because there's no contact? >> That's correct. So what I'll do would you like to >> provide some sort of >> No, sir. So I'll just call when I know that the time has >> That's what I asked. I said how is if he doesn't want to give that, can you contact this? >> For sure. >> And he said yes. >> For sure. >> Okay. Is that okay for you? >> Yeah. Yeah. I do it all the time. Like I said, >> he had two copies with him and I was recording. He said I asked him specifically would it get sent out? He said yes. >> Yeah. I know. Yeah. They got they got to by law. >> If it doesn't then you know it's recorded. That's exactly right. So, another issue you can take up for this >> for sure. >> All right. Anything else, Dave? >> No, I didn't need I didn't call you guys, man. I didn't need you I didn't need you for the Oh, no. It's all good. >> Trying to make everything work. >> Yeah, it's all good, man. Once, like I said, once you guys leave and hike on out, I'll be out of here, man. I always do. So, >> all right. All righty. >> Well, I'll get everybody else rounded up. And >> Sergeant still back there, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> He's probably He's pretty old. He's probably still [laughter] This is crazy, man. I can just tell I can just tell Social Security Administration office is they working they working with Eagle now, man. You could just tell like, you know, so um security [music] is getting officer's name. Probably got to generate some type of report for the company he works for. Not sure, but >> [sighs] >> Still waiting for SARS to come out, man. >> Just when everything seemed ready to explode, one calculated move flipped the entire situation, leaving the agency and officers in an uneasy silence. >> Step off the train. You're holding up the train for everybody. >> Step off or I got to drag you off. Step off or I have to drag you off. Is you holding up the train for all these people trying to go home? >> Why am I holding up a train when I'm sitting on here when I'm going to Brooklyn? >> No, I will not grab my stuff. Get off me. >> Don't touch me. >> Don't touch me. >> Get off of me. >> Come on. Just step off. >> Get off of me. >> When officer Adonis Long didn't get Joseph to leave the train, he punched him twice in the face. But that was only the beginning of the incident. >> Get off the train. Stop. >> Sit down. Hurry up. Sit down on the floor. >> Sit down on the floor. >> [ __ ] stupid. >> Get on the floor. Help me. Help me. [screaming] Help me. >> Behind your back. Behind your back. >> Listen. I'm going to take you to the ground. >> Sit. Sit. Okay. Step right there. Please stop. Please. I got you. Long then pulled out pepper spray and repeatedly sprayed Joseph in the face. It wasn't until other officers arrived that the situation began to deescalate. >> Please, I can't breathe. >> Oh my god. >> Got him. >> Get me. Get me. Give me. I got [screaming] >> long. I got this. >> His legs. His legs. His legs. >> Long. >> Yes. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. His legs help. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. I got it. >> S you >> relax. Relax. >> It will be fine. Okay. >> Please, sir. >> Relax. >> Calm down. All right. >> It will be okay. Relax. Just relax. >> Please. Please. Just relax. >> Can I get up? Please. >> You can't get up. >> I'm having a heart attack. Please. >> Sir, you just take a deep breath. >> I can't. I It hurts. Please. >> I understand it hurts. The more you move, the more it's going to hurt though. It's going to lock down on you. You just need to relax. The more you relax, the better you'll feel. >> You cannot. >> Please don't. Please, please, please >> relax. >> I can't breathe. Guys, please please please don't please don't. I'm sorry. >> Guys, please. >> You're killing me. >> No, please. Oh my god. Please. Please, guys.

He got hurt. He got hurt. I got to sleep. >> Yeah, I know. >> So, you're going to go in and then when you come back. >> Come on, Joe. Come on. >> In March of last year, Joseph filed a lawsuit against the New York City Police Department and Officer Long. The city agreed to pay Joseph $135,000. [music] But notably, the Adams administration settled the case on December 21 without admitting any wrongdoing. When officers [music] abuse their power and respond with violence to simple questions, it threatens the very foundation of justice. A fair society demands accountability, respect for human dignity, and the courage to stand against [music] injustice. Power only has meaning when it's used to protect people, not to silence them.
