His two children in a car. >> You're going to be tasered. >> Remember Melvin Lieutenant Matthew Taser? Everything that moves Ferman. Yeah, the guy from one of my previous videos. Well, buckle up because the judge just dropped the next chapter and it's not looking good for officer shock and awe. [Music] In part one, we broke down Furman's violent spree. The repeated tasers, the kicks, dragging people out of cars, even a traffic stop meltdown that made zero sense. and you all had a lot to say about it. Well, now a judge has reviewed all three cases, three different victims, three different incidents, and the ruling was simple. Every single case is officially bound over for trial. Meaning the evidence wasn't just questionable, it was solid enough for the court to say, "Yep, this deserves a jury." And prosecutors didn't hold back. They told the court this wasn't policing. This was a lieutenant who acted like he could do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted to whoever he wanted. A Dearborn judge ruled today that the criminal case against a controversial Melbondale police lieutenant will go to trial and the charges carry the possibility of years in prison. >> Matthew Ferman is accused of misconduct in office, felonious assault and assault and battery over conduct that spanned years. Now, this was all brought to light by reporting from the seven investigators. >> Seven investigator Ross Jones was in the courtroom today and has the very latest. >> And what was going through your mind when you were initially tased? >> I don't want to die. >> Case one, a minor traffic violation. That's it. Not a robbery, not a weapon, not a threat, a damn traffic violation. And somehow Ferman still manages to turn the tiniest stop into a full-blown assault showcase. Instead of acting like a trained officer, he repeatedly tasered the driver. And then after the man was already cuffed, Ferman grabs him by the hair and snaps his head backward like he's auditioning for some back alley WWE knockoff. A minor traffic issue. And Ferman acted like he was raiding a cartel compound. This isn't policing. This is a lieutenant completely drunk on authority and everyone around him just let it happen. A controversial Melvinale police lieutenant heard testimony today from drivers he's tased and officers he's worked alongside. Part of a series of criminal cases brought by Wayne County's prosecutor. What we see is not a police officer acting under the color of law or acting in accordance with his duties, but acting as someone who willingly thinks that they can do whatever they want on any given traffic stop to whomever they want. >> The charges stem from three separate police stops that the seven investigators first revealed. The first involved Jakar Williams, a man Ferman stopped for driving around traffic barricades. Williams license was suspended and his vehicle was not insured. SET HANDS ON THE ROOF. >> STOP OR YOU WILL GET TASER. >> Furman would repeatedly tase him. >> Hands behind YOUR BACK. >> HE GOT ME. >> DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES HE drives stun Mr. Williams or the driver? >> Several times, but I don't know exactly how many times. >> Testifying for the prosecution today was Ferman's fellow officer, Lieutenant Humayan Ramen, who responded to the scene that day. After Williams was handcuffed, Ferman was seen arguing with him again. And when he stood up, Ferman did this. >> You will not get up without our permission. >> Sit the down. >> What's the reason that you didn't pull Mr. Williams's hair? >> I I didn't find there was any need for it. >> Case two, a mom doing a school drop off. Not fleeing, not threatening, just trying to get her kid to class. Her insurance had lapsed. That's it. And Ferman treats it like she's on America's Most Wanted. He starts yanking her out of the car. And when that doesn't feed his ego enough, he hits her with a taser in a school zone with kids watching. A simple lapse in insurance somehow turned into a public electricity show courtesy of a lieutenant who clearly thinks every situation needs violence. This isn't safety. This is a cop looking for someone to dominate. And he didn't care that children were right there witnessing it. Also testifying today, Alicia Cook, who was sitting in a parked car last year, waiting to drop off her 11-year-old at cheerleading practice when Ferman noticed her vehicle's insurance had lapsed. Cook said she was frightened by Ferman's combative attitude, refusing his commands to get out of the vehicle. >> I didn't understand why he pulled the taser, you know. Um, I didn't have any weapons in my hands. There's two children in a car. >> GOING TO BE TASER. Help out. OH. >> OH. >> You understood that he told you to turn your car off, correct? >> Right. >> And he did it, I believe, three times. Correct. >> Yes. >> And all three times, you refused to comply. Correct. >> Said yes. >> Yes. >> Also taking the stand today was Ferman's former deputy chief, Nick Martinez. He admitted that the department didn't investigate all of the cases Ferman is now charged over, but that he looked into at least one of them, the tasing of Dar Williams. I found there was policy violations in this in that case and I turned it over to the chief. >> But Martinez, who has since left the department, said he didn't remember what the violations were. And Ferman's attorney argued that's because his conduct was justified. >> Now, judge, you may sit there and say, "I don't like how Lieutenant Furman talks." Hell, you may say he's a real. You may say that, and I understand that, but that doesn't make it criminal. That doesn't get us probable cause in this case. Well, ultimately, Judge Sam Salomé disagreed, binding over those two cases to circuit court along with a third case involving a man who led police on a lengthy high-speed chase. Prosecutors say Ferman stomped on his leg 15 times while he was being placed in handcuffs. When a regular patrol cop abuses power, it's already unacceptable. But when a lieutenant, the guy who's supposed to set the standard, is out here acting like a one-man wrecking crew, that's not a bad apple. That's a system failure, a leadership failure, a culture that rewards violence instead of stopping it. And now the fallout begins. Furman is heading to trial on felonious assault, misconduct in office, assault and battery, and illegal taser use. If a jury sees what we've seen, he's not just losing a badge. He's losing freedom.
