to a few people get some stuff sorted out you want to deal with that and we'll get I'll pull up the video and we'll go back out afterwards do you need anything else right now I mean is there any charge for when I tased him he tried grabbing the taser out of my hand it's uncomfort for that right this is disarming the police officers that's why I started he got when he tried to grab the taser from me I just started laying in these Stripes as fast as I could yeah so DC resisting on him yeah yeah okay do you like I punch you and you could do it he just two-handed shoved me off okay yeah right right why don't you just get going with him me and Miller will try and talk through some people and go through the video on the back end opening a criminal complaint who do I get in contact with to open up criminal complaint against the the officer Howie okay who would just use excessive force on that man right there right well it's all documented it's on video I understand that but who do I get in contact with to open up because that's not the first officer that has come down here and used excessive force I have a lawsuit right now that I'm opening up against you guys because when you guys arrested me you used a unlawful use of force so that that was escalated that did not need to be he was not he was he was not he already had him tased on the ground he did not need to continue to knee him in the head okay well I can't make that determination right now I understand you can't but who do I get in contact with so I can do that I'm trying to resolve this peacefully so I don't well you can either file a complaint online or you can call a shift commander and talk to them shift Commander okay number talk to a supervisor here and they can explain to you what else you can do but I can tell you that uh the Situation's more complicated than what you think so I understand the situation so part of the reason that this happened part of the head part of the reason that this happened was there was a guy wearing a light blue shirt that was also assaulting the officer do you know who that is no I don't and even if I did I wouldn't be telling you guys because you ain't helping me out I told you you can talk to one of the supervisors that are on scene or you can file a complaint online but you're saying that the situation is more complicated than that well I'm I'm what I'm telling you is there's a supervisor I'm telling you is yeah the reason that that officer got hit in the face by that person is because he was kneeing those what I'm telling you is there's a supervisor over here if you'd like to talk to them and they can direct you differently or if you don't want to talk to anybody you can walk away there's a supervisor here if you'd like to talk to him you said you're not injured at all what nope say what is the uh I forgot the officer's name the other so is he okay I'm the guy that you were fighting with really yeah you and I were the ones that had to hustle now we get to have a conversation oh that's awesome how are you I'm fine were you having a rough day or something what happened I can barely hear you sorry were you having a rough day or something what happened I'm having a fine day wake up on the wrong side of the bed why do you assume I'm having a bad day I woke up on the wrong side because you didn't lead with kindness sir because I didn't leave with kindness that's exactly why do you think knocking someone's hat off and calling them is leading with kindness no but I think escalating is uh the very opposite of leading with kindness yeah I'm not the one who escalated that who escalated well actually you know what I'm just gonna shut up that sounds like good advice did I get to choose with Joe I go to you want to choose what jail you go to yeah like I go to a different city what jail would you want to go to uh comment below how to do trampolo county has a jail Centerville the crime that you committed was in La Crosse County so you have to go to the La Crosse County Jail okay any advice for going to jail say what do you have any advice for going to jail also am I going to jail or prison you're going to jail had you just complied and not walked away from me I just complied and listen to the words I originally out of my mouth sorry for grabbing a taser search just that I was being tased and well I didn't want to keep getting tased I told you just to roll over on your stomach what's that I told you just to roll over on your stomach yeah after you tease me police reviewed surveillance video and interviewed Witnesses in an attempt to find the male who shoved the officer they were able to locate Ronald and took him into custody it should also be noted he was out on one misdemeanor and one felony Bond so what's that it's not a huge deal it's not a huge deal we just want to chat all right no big deal is that is that the entrance hey hey what's up how's it going pretty good so yeah uh just us three yeah okay what's up oh they just have a quick question I guess yeah can I chat with you yeah I watched the entire thing dude like that cop was super bogus I've never gotten involved with any already down sure I hear you over
