You don't know the statue. You need to move. That is assault. >> I got it. >> You need to move, brother. Give me my phone >> and I will give you your phone. My phone and I'll leave. >> Back out. >> You just assaulted him in front of you. Are you going to do something about asking for supervisor? >> Not understand. >> Does your policy not say a hard time? >> I think I have some angry buddy. >> This guy came over here. Walk over here >> as the camera captures every second of the truth. Will justice stand with the people or will power hide it all? >> You're interfering with a governmental office. If you do not, >> you need to move. >> Interfering is a physical. >> You need to move. >> That is a call. >> I got it. >> You need to move. >> From a tiny Red Bull can to a fiery confrontation with the police. What really happened in the parking lot? A simple question starts at all. But then the footsteps of authority approach and suddenly everything becomes suffocating. >> Let me get out of your way. >> Let me get out of your way. >> He didn't assault you. >> Give me my phone. >> You know what? >> We're going to stay on the sidewalk. >> Get somewhere. You can lawfully report. >> I can lawfully record. >> Just a trivial act on Halloween night. And then the entire police force was faced with a tough question. Was violence truly necessary? >> Whatever happened with all that? Are they is there charges being pressed against them still? You don't know anything about that? Were you involved in that at all? >> I was. Yes, sir. >> You showed up. What do you think about it? You think that you think uh Lieutenant May was in the right for escalating it to that level? I mean I mean it was I think Lieutenant May was in the wrong. I'm not saying I think everyone else that showed up was in the wrong. They were doing their jobs, but I do think he was in the wrong. Would you or Let me ask you this. Would you have done it the same way? >> I couldn't say. I mean, I wasn't in that situation with you. >> You've seen the video. You should know. So whether, you know, if someone shows me a job site I've not been on, I'll tell you what I would have done or not would have done. So what would you have done on that job site? So if someone's littering, it's okay to escalate it to violence. >> I mean, if you have a non-compliant suspect, >> I mean, he went hands-on with them before they were non-compliant. >> Okay. I mean, I wasn't there for that portion. >> So do you think it's okay to go hands-on with someone for littering, even if they don't like the fact that they got caught littering, that it's okay to escalate it with a minor to violence? And then that's when it escalated with the other girls because she immediately goes hands-on with a minor over a Red Bull can on Halloween. >> No, I can't say that I did. >> Any of your friends do that or anything? I'm not saying I did either. Just a general question. A >> couple my friends. >> You think they should have got beat up for it? >> I mean, I don't know. >> I'm not trying to put you in a corner. I'm literally just asking you. The answer is no. You shouldn't think your friend should be beat up for teepeeing in a house. I think anyway. I'd be surprised if someone said yes. >> A powerful command echoes. But what happens next leaves the entire crowd in stunned silence. In the end, who truly crossed the line? >> If I threw a cigarette butt right in front of you right now, would you go hands on with me? >> What are we doing right now? >> Asking you a question. >> Okay. Are these other units investigating something right now? >> I'm sorry. I'll be asking if he was busy. >> Okay. If if they're investigating or if they're doing something right now, by law, you're interfering in a governmental operation. So y'all need to >> interfering is a physical act. >> And whenever I walked up here, I asked him specifically, "Hey, are you busy? Cuz if you are, I'll come back." And he said, "No, what's up?" So now we're talking. I didn't just come bombard him. I literally asked him, "Are you busy?" >> We were as polite to him as we would be to our mothers. >> Okay. >> But if you are here in the parking lot, then they're taking care of an official business. Then we don't need to be right here where they're taking care of the business. Well, we we asked them and they said they would talk. >> Sir, I think you're coming up and you don't know what the situation is. You absolutely are assuming because you're assuming that I came up here to start bombarding them and you didn't you didn't hear me ask permission and say what's up. >> How many units is in a parking lot? >> That's irrelevant. There could be 10. >> The gentleman over my right here >> was taking a report with with another lady, so we didn't bother him. This unit had two individuals in The reason that unit is empty is cuz that officer is right there. >> And they came up to me and that and started talking to me first. >> Let me get out of your way. >> Let me get out of your way. >> We We don't want We don't want to impede or anything. We just ask question. >> Yeah. >> The phone crashes to the ground. A moment of explosion. Both the audience and those involved can't believe their eyes. >> This is what I'm fixing to tell you. You're interfering with a governmental if you do not >> interfering from right here. I'm not going to explain it to you. I do have a >> Can I get him down here, please? >> No. >> Because you don't know what you're saying right now. >> I can tell you you need to move. >> Interfering is a physical act. >> You need to move. >> You have a lieutenant. >> I do have a >> Can I get him down here, please? >> No. >> Because you don't know what you're saying right now. >> I can tell you you need to move. >> Interfering is a physical act. >> You don't know the statue. You need to move. >> That is assault. >> I got it. >> You need to move, >> brother. Give me my phone and I'm leaving. Give me my phone >> and I will give you your phone. >> Give me my phone and I'll leave. >> Back up. He just assaulted him in front of you. You going to do something about He didn't assault him. >> Brother, give me my phone. >> You know what? So you escalated to violence just like you. >> The reason I did, if you will read the statute, you're interfering. >> You need to read the statute. Don't collapse. Come on. >> It's a physical act. You just screwed up. >> Does not have to be physical. >> Screwed up. You're getting a complaint on your record. >> Okay, that's fine. >> Come on, sir. The payment is up. >> Hey, sir. I don't want your paycheck. Promise you I don't. >> I don't need it. >> You just screwed up, man. If you're going to we're going to stay on the sidewalk. >> Get somewhere you can lawfully record. >> I can lawfully record right here. >> We're not interfering. We're not going to say anything to anybody. Stand here. We're going to be quiet. >> You just let your ego get ahead of you, man. >> I'm going to stay on badge number 16. >> 16. >> You will read the statue. It does not have to be physical. It can be verbal. >> No, it can't. >> You don't know the law very. >> I do know it. I know it better than you. apology or excuse when all that was asked for was a simple sorry, but things took a turn no one expected. >> I'm I'm done with this. >> But I just want an apology, dude. I'll even say sorry to you for making you look down. >> But you always want to put it in the last word. >> I don't want a speech from you. I want an apology and I will apologize right back. >> I'll apologize if I I made you feel uncomfortable. >> What about my equipment? Do you apologize for breaking my equipment getting in my face? As far as get being in the face, >> you you had the camera within 12 inches or less. >> You walked up to me. I was I I wasn't I didn't move, brother. It's on camera. You getting in my face. And that is why I call Hot Springs Police Department trash because you could have just apologized and we could be cool, but you would rather hold your ego in your pants and walk in the police station. >> Can I get a complaint for him? >> Yes. Same. >> Thank you. >> Just fill this out here. Bring it back up here. Just leave this top part. This is what we'll fill out, but you'll need the topping and complaint and then fill out all your information. This is the affidavit part. Okay. >> 104. >> Well, man, that was >> I came to just ask some questions about what happened on Halloween to those girls and look what happened to me. >> That escalated quickly. >> Uh, and he answered, "I'll go hands-on for not littering. I'll go hands-on just cuz you're here asking me questions." Citizens may sue public officials for violating their constitutional rights pursuant to 42 US code SS1983. Individuals/organizations are required to pay damages to the injured party.

The citizens requested a complaint form and planned to file an official report over civil rights violations, use of force, and abuse of power. Up next, just minutes after the camera started rolling, a tense confrontation erupted. Does your policy state >> you have you have like you have you have issues or something like >> No, I think I think is I think you have there's there's a complete difference. This is the contrast in America of you got cops like you. An officer admits he has never heard of reasonable, articulable suspicion. Could it be that those enforcing the law don't even understand it? >> What's your business? >> Just relax, man. It's not a big It's not that It's not that big of a deal. >> No, it is a big deal because you're not allowed to be in this area. >> There is no uh there's no signs saying authorized personnel only. So, >> no. Well, I'm telling you that. So, you can go into the parking lot. >> You can't just This is This is a This is a public guy. Is that how I say that? This is This is a public parking lot. Yeah. Because it's funded by taxpayer. >> It's not. >> You're wrong. >> It's not. You're wrong. You're wrong. >> You're wrong. >> You could take a walk over there if you'd like. There is no signs deeming this a restricted area. >> I'm telling you. >> Yeah, you can't do that. >> I'm telling you. So then maybe you're having a hard time listening. Okay, that's what the issue could be here. >> I'm just trying to tell you, bro. Go take a walk over here. That's it. You're not allowed to be over here. >> It has to be restricted already. This is not a restricted area here. >> No, you're you're sadly mistaken, pal. >> Okay. >> You're sadly mistaken. Uh why don't we walk over here where you're allowed to be or we can have an issue. >> But what's the issue? Is that a threat? No, that I'm telling you right now, you're not allowed to be in this area, bro. You're not understand. I'm asking for supervisor. You're not understand. >> Does your policy not stay? I think you're having a hard time. >> Does your policy state? >> You have you have like you have you have issues or something like this, dude. >> This guy came over here. >> Come over here and walk over here. >> There's there's a complete difference. This is the contrast in America. And then you got cops like you sir. >> Cops who want to escalate and cops who want to deescalate because people like you when they go in all gun ho. >> Let me finish what I'm saying. >> I would just finish what I'm saying. Can I have your ID, please, so we know who we're talking to. >> Unless I committed a crime trespassing, just like said. So, you see this this area? Why do you think the public's not here? Why do you think the way? >> This is not a This is not a It's authorized. Authorized. I I read it already. Authorized vehicles only. No, no, no, no. Authorized vehicles. >> Detaining a citizen without stating a specific charge? Are they enforcing the law or overstepping their authority? >> Because you have locks on certain doors. Why? But is there any sign saying you can't? But there's an expectation. Okay. That's what I'm getting. There's an expectation. You're telling me you can't freely walk through that building, right? Cuz it's a police station, right? Because you set up you set up barriers. >> Because there's an expectation that that's not normal, right? You see anybody else just walking through here cuz it seems normal to walk through here. >> But what's normal to you? You know, it's this is we have this is this is the United States of America. We could have disciplines of opinion. >> Let me ask you this. So most journalists, right, they want to come and they want to do stories. You want to get information? Guess what you could do? You could walk around here and say, "Hey, officer." >> But why would I do that? Why would I do that when I can do it anyway? I mean, you could do this all you'd like. I am Am I Am I detained? >> Huh? Right now, yes. Until we figure out for sure why you're doing this. >> So, you're telling me that I'm detained? This is an unlawful detainment, just so you know. >> Okay. Until I can figure out what your true intentions are. You're telling me a journalist. >> So, can you can you tell me what crime? Can you articulate a crime that I've committed? >> You're This is suspicious right now. This is suspicious. >> Suspicious. Is suspicious a misdemeanor or a felony? Huh? Suspicious activity right now. Oh, it all depends on how you want to speak. All depends on what you're doing, doesn't it? >> It's It's neither. I don't know. I don't know your business. It's neither. I don't know. It's neither. I'm here I'm here conducting my own business. I'm being detained against my will unlawfully for no crime I've committed. And since I'm being detained and since I'm being since I'm being detained since I'm being detained, I'm going to >> Absolutely. Well, you guys will come talk to you. You could have just told us what you >> You guys You guys are going above and above and beyond your authority. You have no authority to detain me. None. Zero. Listen, when I have a stranger walk around where I work normal activity, >> you you enforce you enforce the law. If I'm not breaking any laws, you have no business with me. >> There's people coming in and out of here as far as cars coming in and out, you can get yourself hurt. >> And then someone appeared with just a few words, turning the entire situation around. Who had the power to end this tense standoff? >> My officers are doing the right thing. They're in our parking lot taking photographs and everything. Not illegal. Okay. But certainly something for us to be concerned about. Okay. >> There's a lot of stuff going around. I'm not everybody's >> here with your phone. This is Okay. >> Unless it's unless it's unless it's restricted. >> This is our private block. There are signs mostly for vehicular traffic, but it does say unauthorized people. I said that it's mostly for vehicles. Okay. But again, this is why you were stopped >> is because it's >> not necessarily illegal what you're doing. Granted, that's private property. a little bit different. Yeah. >> But or say you're parked in in Walmart, right? And someone you come outside, >> someone's taking pictures of your car, looking inside of your car, >> right? >> Yeah. And and like and like I told your officers, I have no problem with them coming up and making contact with me. Voluntary contact. You're holding up my freedom of movement. >> We're we're we're investigating what was going on. Okay. >> Yeah. But as a sergeant, you should know that, you know, your officer here didn't know what reasonable articulable suspicion was. What I said was I never heard the way you described the first order. >> Reasonable articulable suspicion. You said you didn't know what that was. >> No. No. As far as how we conduct business. We don't conduct business. >> That's not that's not speaking the way I do. >> Like you just said, everybody's different, right? >> So, how when you detain somebody, what's your what's your burden of proof? What do you have? What? You just go to random people and say you're detained. >> Enough. You don't need to sit here and argue. Okay, you guys are all set. >> All right, you guys can go. >> The most intense moment had passed, leaving behind raw images of how the situation was resolved. The journalist continued filming after being released with no arrests made. >> I try and say, "Hey, listen. I know you you I know you're worried that I'm filming the cars. I'm a journalist. I'm g gathering content for a story. I'm just filming the police station around the police station, the different cars. I've never been here before." >> Uh, what? >> I'm independent. I'm independent. I'm independent. Yeah. >> You have like a blog or whatever something. >> Well, to be honest with you, the story it's it's on the police department, right? But you know it specific police department >> about your specific police department today. Yeah. I do this to a bunch of different police departments and he didn't and he didn't know what you know what reasonable articulable suspicion is. Correct. >> Yes. There's two there's two ways to to for these situations to be handled. Look, I I've watched a lot of these videos. I get all that. Okay. But >> but the point but what I want to make very clear to you SGE is that you know obviously you guys doing stuff that you're not supposed to is going to get views. But what I try what I try and do is I'm trying to say, "Hey, listen. I'm going to be reasonable. I'm not going to curse at you. I'm not going to do anything that's going to try I'm not going to try and a aggravate you." And then whatever your officers or whatever police department I'm filming at that particular day decides to do, it's on them. You know, people there are people who do what I do and they, you know, like to agitate a little bit. Exactly. And my profession, what I'm doing is like I said, if they want to go crazy, yes, that is good views at your point. I I prefer to have a good conversation like I'm having with you right now, Sergeant. Like I prefer to listen. I I could understand that. >> Maybe if you do this again, I'm sure you're going to be doing it again. Maybe stop in >> Yeah. >> and be like, "Hey, you know, >> this is what I'm this is what I'm going to be doing." >> When civil liberties are disregarded, when the ignorance of the law by those in power can turn an ordinary situation into a potential disaster.

Okay. >> No, don't tack. Three. Taser. Taser. Taser. Put your hands behind your back. Do it now. >> What seemed like a normal traffic stop suddenly turned into a tense drama as the arrested person repeatedly resisted arrest and the police suddenly resorted to extreme measures. What happened behind the scenes? >> So, you got uh some funky stuff going on with your IDs and you got some warrants through Jones. Bro, put your step back here. Step back here for me, man. I'll get everything out of your pockets. I ain't got nothing in my pocket. >> All right, turn around for you. >> What's going on? >> I want to put you in handcuffs. Stop resisting. >> I'm not resisting, man. >> Stop resisting. >> I'm not resisting. >> You are resisting arrest right now. >> I'm about to tase you. Okay. >> No, don't tas. Three. Taser. Taser.

You can move now. >> Hey, come on. Let's slide out from under this car. You got gloves. Go ahead. >> I'm an idiot. Wow. >> I took that ride with you. >> These are not the connected ones. >> Trust me. >> I told you to get back. >> I know. I said I'm an idiot. >> All right. I'm going to pull these probes out for you. All right. Now, all tangled up this handcuffs and stuff. Look out. When the police checked the documents, an unexpected mystery was revealed. The identification documents were not only incorrect, but also showed signs of forgery, raising big questions about this person's true identity. >> 5315 making drill is what they said. [Music] >> They holler for me. [Music] >> What' you say? Did they confirm So, >> did they confirm? >> Does it matter at this point? >> No. >> I don't know why he's doing that. >> Otherwise, it's a misdemeanor warrant. >> Can I get you out to Jennifer Auto auction? Jennifer Auto auction. Give your reference for stolen property. [Music] Oh. That's weird. His Arkansas driver's license was behind the stereo. >> Yeah, it was behind the stereo. [Applause] >> Well, he's got a Texas ID that returns to a female. >> It's his picture on it, though. Yeah, it's just I pulled the stereo out and this popped out with it. Was he trying to hide it? >> Maybe cuz he knows it's suspended. >> Oh, no. Johnson Pierce. Johnson Pierce. I have 189. He needs another unit. >> Said I pulled you over. You got these lights flashing underneath your car. And you almost ran into me at the stop sign back there. He's like, "What's wrong with them lights?" Like they're illegal. You won't believe what happened when Brandon Gibson resisted arrest, forcing police to use their electric batons multiple times. Was it a necessary action or a blatant abuse of power? It says it. Look at it. It says he's a female for one thing. When you run it, it comes back to a female, but it don't have a picture. It has his picture on it. >> Say it's fake. >> But it looks real. >> Yeah. And my dumb ass catches him when he falls and get shot. That hurt. >> I told you what the [ __ ] you were doing. >> I told you it was my fault. I'm an idiot. >> You ain't got to be nice and catch them. >> I know. Stronger than the hunger was. >> I know. I couldn't budge his arm. >> What is the What's the good ID? >> I think the Arkansas one's the good one. I'll just take a picture of it and send it to you. Just a second. >> I got warrants. Huh? You [ __ ] get it. >> I'll go by >> Mr. Warrants. That's it. Huh? >> Yep. >> That's good, dumb ass. >> And driving on suspended. I think that Yeah, I think that ID is fake, but I don't know. It's Is it possible that Texas put him as a female instead of a male? I don't know. Hey, girl. >> In what seems like a simple arrest, a series of unexpected incidents occur one after another. From conflicts over documents to controversial electric shocks, every moment is captivating. >> Arms feels funny. >> It shouldn't have done anything. You seen those pictures yet? >> No, not yet. I haven't. Well, I'm I'm doing the work and stuff right now. You can take them with you as long as you bring them back so I can log him into evidence. >> Let me take a picture. We think the Arkansas one's a good one. It's actually who he is. >> I'm not sure. I mean, both of them is actually who he is. One of them they couldn't get a return on it. It said it's a female. You look on there. >> I don't know. >> Clear out. I'm going to take it. >> What's y'all's address? What's y'all's address? >> Our address is uh Give me one second. >> Repeated use of a taser may be considered excessive, potentially an abuse of power, and raises questions about the legality and ethics of the restraint. Questions about the authenticity of identification and the ability to conceal identity add legal complications.
