[Music] recently an article was published about me on a far-left wing web page that had a bunch of quotes from Columbus Police civilian reviewed board member Dr Chanel Jones the article was about this YouTube channel and Dr Jones didn't hold back her criticism saying nothing that he's doing on social media at least that I have seen has been done to help improve Community Police relations or has been informative to the community these comments are an insult to me the division of police and the loyal viewers of this channel by making that statement Dr Jones is exposing her bias against police officers and exposing the fact that she's talking about a subject she does not understand I would like to add that maybe if she did watch this channel it would make her more qualified to be a member of the Columbus Police civilian review board as they've proven time and time again that they lack the most basic understanding of police work she went on in her comments to say clearly he's not thinking about the citizen when he's posting this footage he's not thinking about their emotional state or the impact that sharing this video will have on their personal or professional life she's also accused me of uploading only short clips of interactions without context in order to get clicks and likes it's true that I often post videos of people who are high or in mental distress but these videos are posted to show how the police handle these situations there are a lot of people in the public that believe police only make these situations worse the video is I've shown on the channel stand in Star contract to this line of thinking the reason I share those interactions are to show the public that if you need it the police are here to help and they're very good at these types of calls if Dr Jones had actually watched the videos on this channel she would know her statements are not true let's take a look at some of the most popular videos starting with man high on meth and Other Drugs found sleeping in the road this was Scott's first appearance on the channel he had recently been released from prison and started using meth and fetanyl that eventually took control of his life on this particular night he was high and could hardly control his body this way Scott try to hold together for a minute they're going to freak out okay my sister's hold on just let me here yeah good all right we're going to go through that door right over there all right now let's look at some of the comments perfect example of how to police a community right here in Columbus they really are the only example I've ever seen on how to interact with all spectrum of humanity that officer was nothing but kind and compassionate to the guy the entire time that officer is an example of how all officers should be when dealing with these types of situations notice the guy is respectful and completely compliant this gives some hope to the world filled with suffering can all officers be as compassionate and professional as this man the world would be such a better place likely this man will remember this night in how many people really do care and get some selfhelp this officer is really out there trying to help by Saving one person at a time these are just a handful of the comments but the majority of them all have the same tone do you still believe that this channel does nothing to help Community Police relations do you still think it's not good for Columbus since you don't watch the channel you're also not aware of all the other times that Scott has been on the channel like the day I drove down to the West Side on my day off and picked him up for lunch we sat in my truck for a little while and we talked about his life what it's like to be in his position and how he feels about being put on YouTube do you still use meth not like I used to no way but I mean occasionally what's what's stopping you like how is it your mindset no it was me watching these videos really yeah I said man that's interesting I um I get a lot of criticism for putting those videos on the internet why people think that I'm exploiting people I mean I kind of felt like in some ways you know what I mean like I'm I mean I was high out of my head and I might have said a few things that was I probably shouldn't have said M or could have got me putting some situations out here on the street yeah but for the most part that ain't your fault that's my fault you're also probably not aware of the fact that I have a relationship with Scott's family I helped get him into rehab a couple of times and that I went to his rehab facility and talked to him for several hours gave him the opportunity to share his story so others would not go down the same path do you still think that I do nothing to help Community Police relations how you doing I'm doing great man how you been I'm all right man um I don't even know where to start uh how are you feeling right now I feel the best I've ever felt in probably 25 years really yeah just that I'm not able to walk yet but I'm getting there you know I mean working out and stuff like that like you feel better physically than you felt in years I feel better physically and now really yeah like uh you is was there like a fog over your brain constantly prior of this or yeah I mean on drugs you know what I mean so yeah I would say all I can say is I had a blinded eye to everything yeah you know it's so crazy how how good it feel is just to look outside and see you know what I mean see Ste rainbow and stuff like that know corny but yeah how about this video officers find a man who believes he's in the CIA we're always hearing about how officers don't know how to handle mentally ill individuals if you listen to the activist you'll believe that we're always beating up mentally ill people because that's the only thing we know how to do watch how the officer handles this call 35ad Department I've got 105 I'm the CIA I can do what I want no that's not true the [ __ ] I can't I work for the president no know we're just going to we're just going to go to the local hospital I'm not going to no [ __ ] Hospital why not why

need me to sign something huh yeah oh you need me to sign something now huh that's the hospital yeah yeah huh but now now you believe me I'll give it right up there now you believe me yeah all oh you scared [ __ ] knock that out call now take a look at the comments I appreciate this video it's reassuring to see the level of patience and professionalism displayed in this no personal feelings just empathy all throughout this world needs more officers like him he did an amazing job deescalate the situation the officer handled this with patience I hope he gets the help he needs this officer should be training other officers and how to treat people with respect and how to help those in Mental Health crisis he's definitely a gem do you still think that these videos do nothing to help Community Police relations do you think I am just doing this for clicks or for personal gratification the video is on this channel are also used for police training across the country I get messages from officers all of the time saying they're at in service and they just watched me talking to a mentally ill person here are a couple letters I have received from police training companies about my work I won't Bore You by reading the entire letter but this one from 886 Consulting LLC says that from time to time I searched the internet for publicly available videos that illustrate situations that have gone well or badly that I can discuss with my class time and time again I have found the videos posted on Columbus Police body camera that show good police citizen encounters using empathy active listening and compassion for those in crisis situations being able to see these encounters drives home positive points on good crisis Communications that I teach in my class in a time that the internet is flooded with videos for all to see fil with situations showing bad judgment rudeness and in some situations unreasonable Force the videos posted on Columbus Police body camera are not only positive training AIDS but also a breath of fresh air that show what we all know that there is much much more good police work being done than there is otherwise while I have never personally met officer Ben his demeanor and professionalism as shown in the videos I have seen exemplify the good work being done by the men and women of law enforcement the police department and the entire city of Columbus should be proud and then this one also from a training company in Indiana speaking about the video you're watching in the background we believe that the content and professional way the primary officer handles the call will be extremely helpful for our state's officers to learn from in the video your officer displayed positive example of how to deescalate a situation involving a person experiencing Mental Health crisis while still maintaining officer and Public Safety you're very fortunate to have an officer of this caliber working for your city and closing they said it's interactions with the public like these that help build the relations between police and the local community keep up the great work I could go on like this forever but I won't I have almost 650 videos on YouTube and the overwhelming majority of them show that Columbus police officers are some of the best most well-trained and compassionate officers in the country and for some reason Dr Jones has a problem with that I created this channel four years ago to combat the lies being told about the columus division of police lies being told by activists and city leaders like the mayor and city council those lies were being used to make the officers of the Columbus Division of police look bad so that those politicians and and activist could gain more political power and influence for themselves speaking of anti- police activists that's exactly what the Columbus office of Inspector General and the civilian review board are made up of the real reason that Dr Jones doesn't like me or my YouTube channel is because I've exposed their lies and incompetence on December 18th 2023 I released a video titled the Columbus inspector General's office has a clear anti-p police bias in that video I went into detail about an incident where an the office of Inspector General filed a false report stating that an officer stopped an African-American teen for nothing more than wearing a hoodie in actuality that team was white and he was never even stopped by the police the investigator never even talked to the kid who complained about the officer they just assumed the kid was black because that fit their narrative a simple address search would have shown that officers were at this kid's house over 20 times in the previous year that he had a violent history and that he was in fact a male white they used that report to charge an officer with biased base profiling I've released other video showing the incompetence of the inspector General's office and instances where investigators gave citizens false information about Columbus Police policies where even the citizen who filed the complaint knew the policy better than the investigator yeah it's on file um I requested the records I haven't watched review the body cam yet um but I'm just trying to get out ahead of this um discretionary um I want to make sure that you have a you know claws in there when they look it up he did look and he did check um however he should have made an arrest or he should have uh written a summons for this individual so yeah so my understanding is the way that uh trespassing forms written is it's at the officer's discretion and he's under no obligation to arrest but he's got the right to arrest there have been several other videos where I show how out of touch members of the civilian review board are like when pastor Rich Nathan asked if officers should wear body cameras when they're off duty just in case they're ever involved in a shooting uh just I I'm not sure uh what the um policy is but if you're an off-duty officer you come upon a uh situation that requires you know your assistance uh uh is that covered anywhere not special duty but off duty can an off duty officer Au use deadly force in breaking up a you know situation that they determin is you know where deadly force is required and second where the body warn cameras fit in with off-duty officers or the time that he wanted to make a policy that off officer should apologize to citizens who file complaints against them even if the officer is cleared of wrongdoing I I have no idea what the volume would be of apologies uh but you know even if it were in the uh instances where a complaint was filed there you go I'm going to say that that's probably outside the scope of your duties and responsibilities this YouTube channel shows police officers treating the community with dignity and respect going above and beyond to serve their community and set an example for officers across the country but Dr Jones stated it's just not helpful it's not something that the Columbus Division of police or the city of Columbus needs right now now the city of Columbus and the civilian review board are trying to shut down this YouTube channel this is what happens when you expose corrupt and incompetent government actors rather than correct their behavior they attack the person who exposed their wrongdoing [Music]
