Is It Okay To Defend Against An Unlawful Attack From A Cop?

This is what happens when cops are not held accountable for their illegal actions and violent behaviour !!!

NEVER open your door to a cop. Make them show you a warrant first.

Cops NEVER see cops as a “viable threat”. This is a technicality that will be used against you in a court of law. You would have to spend a fortune in legal fees in order to gain any leverage.

I wish James would’ve asked “what if they aren’t allowing me close my door at 1am in the morning”. He did ask “if a cop was trying to illegally enter the home….”. But the sheriff’s answer may have been different if asked about not allowing the homeowner shut their door.

This is blatant harassment and it’s all on video. Charge the cops and use the video. Game over. These dirty bullies must be held accountable. Minable time ( 6 months behind bars. )

Would love to hear sheriff Grady’s opinion of this video, seeing that be loves to be on camera. He brags about putting his own deputies in jail for breaking the law, and this video is a perfect example of his deputies breaking the law. What say you sheriff?

James, there’s a video out there showing the 50 going OVER a locked farm gate, along with a sign of no tresspassing, and getting into a shootout with the homeowner. The homeowner was charged and convicted. Even though the dash cam of the cops car shows him climbing over the locked fence. The cop did not have a warrant…he was trespassing on the property illegally but the homeowner was convicted. This video does not do your watchers justice.

It only takes a single court case to set precedence that it’s ok.

Imagine what would happen if they didn’t have a camera!!!!

Make enough noise at the department depicted in this video and those employees will probably go elsewhere. Best way to hurt rotten public services is in their pockets and their resources. As much as physical violence is the most satisfying response, psychological incapacitation will keep you from ending up in prison.

Whether your on the right or left, I would hope you would agree with James on this. Police are abusing their power and are very rarely held to account for their actions. Just because someone wears a badge doesn’t make them a bastion for good. Law enforcement has done a poor job of rooting out the bad cops. The blue code of silence only protects the bad cops. Great job on the video James!

1:30 in the morning at my house, in my neighborhood, those cops would be out numbered and under armed in seconds. They would not think for more than a few seconds about “officer safety” before the situation was realized that they are way past that scenario!

Main point here. A civilian entering your home illegally can be defended against. If it cops doing the same thing it’s a grey area. Better to be abel to prove it she said. Double standard right there. Cops are above the law.

Outward opening doors are great for hurricanes and door kicks… But once open, too easy to hold open.

“We have over aggressive, gung ho, cops. They’re young and want to get their guy. More power to em.” Really? You’re proud of that? That’s terrifying😢

You guys are more patient than I am after the 2nd time this happened I wouldn’t even enter the door door I don’t know what else to say just can’t believe it

I knew they were going to grab him the minute he tried to close the door they were just waiting, I am sorry I would have been going to jail you are not going to stick your foot in my door and not leave.

I would like to see the settlement the city or state will have to pay out on this case because it was 150% illegal and the officers invoved should be charged fired and put on the Brady list so they cant become officers elsewhere

When people settle out of court no precedents can be set

> Laws and precedent mean nothing in a system where the rulers are immune to the law.

 

James i have a question, why do cops want your ID even when they know you have nothing going on with you they can lock you up for? Why? I dont understand

> They want to be able to ID whoever they want. It allows them to check for warrants and get your name on a report, even if you didn’t do anything wrong. Helps them build a background and keep tabs on you. Some officers are even willing to lie and tell you you HAVE to ID even when they know don’t. Some are just ignorant of the law. Either way, they are trying to violate your 4th amendment right. That’s why it’s so important for people to know their rights

> Power and precieved authoritay. Do as I say,. I’m trained knuckle dragger on roids

One thing I learned no one says you have to answer the door when someone’s knocking or open it.
Do not open your door. “I have nothing to say. Do you have a warrant?” Should be the only words heard out of your mouth. I have nothing to say talk to my attorney. That’s it.
As always never open the door, if they say they have a warrant tell them to put it somewhere outside so you can retrieve it with them backed away, as the cop did once they put there foot in that door it’s over…. I hope the family gets paid, end qualified immunity, cops have to carry personal insurance like doctors…
External doors should always open inwards. That way, someone has to cross the threshold to block the door. The cop would have to “enter” the house in order to keep the door open.
Thank you so much for doing this video. In my country police would be punished more severly for this illegal activity than “private citizen”
The bad thing about those arrest even though they were dismissed is that stays on your record
James, thanks for doing a video about Polk county and Grady Judd. I used to live in Polk and I’m a right of center conservative libertarian who owns guns and is a staunch believer in the constitution and the 2A bigtime. That said, Grady Judd and LE in POLK are not good guys, they regularly violate people’s constitutional rights that they claim to care so much about, they love to lie to people and target them and throw the book at people for minor stupid things that they could simply ignore or write a ticket for. The problem is most people in Polk think because he goes on tv and beats his chest Grady is some kind of right wing hero, there truth is the total opposite. From what I’ve seen, he care’s more about locking up middle-class college kids who have a little bit of marijuana and aren’t bothering anybody and ruining their lives and making money on the deal than catching murderers or rapists. He and his deputies get away with what they do because no one ever takes him and his dept. to task for it. FYI his deputies don’t wear body cams, if they’re so honorable and do everything above boards why wouldn’t they want to wear them, what do they have to hide? Thanks for what you do, please don’t let Grady Judd and his dept. off the hook, please keep scrutinizing them and keep the heat up, there’s a lot of real criminals in Polk who are getting away with real crime and a lot of ordinary people being victimized by Polk LE.

Show less

It can be and it can’t be, if the police have probable cause like they’re in pursuit of an active criminal and see him/her go in a house they don’t need a search warrant.

Police Decides that Cleaning Woman has an “Attitude”

Thank you for featuring my video. The chief actually went to the building I was at and tried to get me in trouble the next day, luckily my bosses are the best ever and are backing me completely. I’ve gotten a bunch of hate from the people in my town saying I was in the wrong. Thanks!

He is the perfect example of why people don’t trust the police.

  • I can see why the cop is so emotional being in his third trimester and all.

 

  • The only one being disrespectful here is the foul mouthed cop. He’s in the wrong line of work. He has serious psychological issues. He will cost the city a fortune some day when he flips out on someone without a camera.

 

  • He just can’t admit he’s wrong, like most cops.

 

  • Having an attitude about standing up for your rights is not against the law. It actually is standing up for every single one of us. The police, like this example, is what makes most of us no longer willing to back them up like before. The people of her town who think it’s okay to harass a working woman, Shame on them! We need to limit the power we have bestowed to this profession. We need to get rid of Qualified Immunity, it protects the wrong type of police more often than not.

 

  • This cop is truly scary. Be careful, I can’t imagine what he does when he knows he’s not on video. Egomaniac tyrant is right…

 

  • This officer lied about being able to get ID. Every time an officer lies about the law we should legally be allowed to disregard everything that comes after, and no arrest be legal. How can we be expected to trust an officer once they’ve lied?

 

  • He just can’t let it go. NO de-escalation here. MASSIVE ego problem with no LAW training or knoledge

 

  • “Dont be an ass”
    -while being an ass

 

  • The minute she made a small apology, it generated LARGER bullying and intimidation tactics from him.

 

  • “Anyone can wear a janitorial shirt.”
    Anyone can wear a police uniform these days it seems

 

  • This tyrant did all that talking about “doing his job”, but walked away. He just wanted to be a bully.

 

  • He didn’t even try to get her ID after she flat-out stated that she wasn’t handing it over. From then on, she was detained for his pleasure while he lectured her for going in public while in “possession of an attitude”, and nothing else.

 

  • I can see his descalation training was wasted on him.

 

  • If she gave him her full name, and her ID matched the name, how would that prove to him she was there to clean?

 

  • With less of an attitude the LEO actually means “I want you to lick my boots and answer every question with Yes Sir”

 

  • Ask this tyrant, “Is attitude a misdemeanor or a felony?”

 

  • I did a shot every time this guy said “that’s fantastic” and now I’m hammered.

 

  • This cop cried to his chief. Who then tried to get her fired

 

  • This situation is too common.
    If the cop would observe the “suspect” for a few minutes he would see work being done and a complete absence of criminal activity. At that point there would be no reason to approach her.

 

  • This guy is has been picked on until he graduated grade 8 and became a cop. Now imagine if that was a black male, that guy would have had back up in 1 minute.

 

  • She hurt his feelings. I think he’s going to call his mom and cry.

 

  • “What words do you wish me to say to appease your fragile ego so you can leave?”

 

  • I hope he gets disciplined, because a cop that says “I can act however I want” is a threat to society.

 

  • soooo all I heard here was the officer wanted to uphold his emotions, not the law… because he wasn’t citing law, he was citing attitude.

 

  • Could he drop a few more f bombs while telling someone else not to have an attitude?
    My question is what does giving her name/id matter? What does he have a magic list of names that works in the building along with a list of names/employees of outside contractors like the janitorial staff? And or a list of the hours employees for that building?

 

  • “Next time be courteous” says officer Butterbean F’ing away at a woman. The reason he sat there for that time, was because he was checking the plates. Officer we’re not as stupid as you look!

 

  • Cops have a huge ego and when you challenge them they have a hissy fit. I would have reminded him that I’m a tax payer and I pay his wages.

 

  • He really blows it when he says if she’s gonna have an attitude, she’s gonna have a problem … oooof.

 

  • Yes, I realise that her camera saved her from physical abuse. That cop look like a controller and abuser of his office.

 

  • Had she been a woman of color the whole conversation would’ve been all the way different. I’m so glad the young lady held her ground and was allowed to go do her job.

 

  • Love your channel brother.
    Keep em coming.
    I am Canadian. But i love cop watch from around the world.
    Every nation needs to hold their government employees to account.
    The price of freedom is eternal vigilance!
    Keep being vigilant brother!

 

  • If she wants to have an attitude that’s not against the law. It’s amazing how police officers try to tell you how to feel and act. They hate pushback and they hate to be challenged. That is what he’s mad about.

 

  • Boy, this guy just has to have the last word

 

  • Cracks me up when cops say “but I don’t know who you are” does this mean he knows everyone that he comes into contact with? I’ll bet he doesn’t remember all the names and ages and addresses of all he’s run ID on, unless of course he demands ID just to remember. Stop using that reason to get ID, It’s lame.

 

  • He’s was asking for an ID even though it wasn’t a stop. He never put on the lights. How does she know if that was a cop.

 

  • ‘Lose the attitude’ must be one of their little power phrases they teach them in goon school. It’s definitely a cop thing. You know, when they’re trying to talk down to you or act like they’re somebody’s daddy. Ugh…
    Now why would ANYBODY have an attitude with the police?? Hmm…

 

  • Eight minute lecture on being nice while he’s asking for something he’s not entitled to.

 

  • Imagine if she didn’t know her rights.
    Do you believe the cop would have let her go about her business.

 

  • He absolutely cannot act as he wants in “his official capacity”…. this guy’s not just a tyrant cop but I xan assume he acts like this at home with his wife also..

 

  • Why does he feel like he can tell her how to talk he’s using his position of power to bully her

 

  • If this is the way they treat their own people just imagine how they treat women and children in a war zone.

 

  • She should get his bodycam he said some more shit on his way back to the car.

 

  • How many times did he say “I don’t know who you are.” It seems like that is the only thing he finds out of place.

 

  • I know, you know, and the officer knows, that shining that light in your face is rude.
    Let’s start there. Then, get the hell off of our property! “I Gotta Call” is NOT probable cause!

 

  • A funny side idea would be for her to run to the door, go in and lock him out. Just funny, not recommending it.

 

  • The old ‘I don’t know who you are’ game.
    Did you notice after she apologized fat boy escalated.

 

  • Another cop with hurt feelings. I had this happen to me , put my key in the door and left the cop standing outside I was done talking.

 

  • Now that I know who you work for!
    I can get one of those vests anywhere.
    What an ass, complete reversal of what he initially said and his idea of a dignified retreat.
    Bah, this cop has an attitude and knew he would get a complaint made against him hence the backdown.

 

  • Even if she is rude to him he has no right to be rude back to her when acting in his professional capacity. The fact he lets his emotions control his demeanour shows he is unfit to hold his position

 

  • Wow. This cop reeks of entitlement.

 

  • Love his courteous behavior saying F@#K,A@# etc. while giving advice on courtesy. Such a power struggle for no reason! Gees, she’s got to go clean it’s not an easy job..been there done that!
    Do your thing girl, a nice clean office is much appreciated!

 

  • Police need to be held accountable. I dealt with this as a young man all the time. They do the same tactics all the time. Now they are realizing these old school German tactics don’t work anymore. God I love it..

 

  • The police are breaking the (Constitutional) law if they take your ID and run it. This is considered “detainment” and without probable cause, the police are breaking the law. If the police are caught out with no probable cause, they will LIE about it saying they thought they smelled pot, or they thought they saw a gun, or they saw you exchanging an envelope with someone (who was Black and disappeared into the night) and they believed you had just made a controlled substance purchase, etc.. We the people must know the law and respectfully but firmly push back against the growing lawlessness of the police across this whole country, (and straight up into the SCOTUS)

 

  • It is his job to check businesses and to inquire about vehicles after hours. I’m damn certain that the business owner appreciates the cops checking on his office after hours. The cop was a jerk but so was this lady.
  • First question should ALWAYS be: “Is this a ‘Terry Stop’, or is it consensual?” Terry Stops require RAS. Consensual means you can end the encounter.
  • When you know your rights you have an attitude, but the cop can use foul language when addressing this women!
  • He just can’t let it go and walk away…
  • She was actually a lot nicer than she had to be tbh. He overstayed his welcome by a long shot. Police officers’ job isn’t to preach at civilians.
  • In new mexico the car has to be property marked with lights n police on car, he has to have on a proper uniform.
  • So lick my boots and we’re ok? Oh chief she hurt my feelings!
  • He’s one of those men that tells women to smile just have authority over them ugh
  • Do you know how easy it would be to make that shirt he was wearing. How do we know he was in fact a cop? “Anyone can wear a janitorial shirt.” By that logic anyone can wear anything and not be who they claim to be. Sounds like an effort to manufacture crimes since they can’t actually stop or solve actual crimes.
  • How come ive never seen a single cop that understands id laws or reasonable articulable suspicious.. The cop cursing at the citizen, talking about respect.. they gas-light you in real time now.. interesting..
  • How would her ID prove she’s supposed to be there? Let me help “Ma’am what are you doing here?” “I’m working ” “OK” then wait for her to enter building and drive away. Is any of this that difficult.
  • I think these cops are desperate for a fight and look for anything they can to start a altercation.
  • Telling her to lose the attitude and he was being a jerk right from the get go, talking about anybody can wear a cleaning uniform. His ego is the problem, citizens have the right to have an attitude with cops we’ve earned it.
  • “That’s fine, Now that I know you work here” Well I told you I worked here earlier and showed you the keys and my uniform And you said well I can go pick up a shirt like that from the store. So out of curiosity how do you know that I work here now? What it looks like is you realize you fucked up. Because there’s no new evidence that can verify my story from what I told you the first time. You’re clearly just fishing
  • Anyone can buy a badge and police costume at a military surplus store… everything he is saying applies to himself as well. Not to mention he acknowledges she represents her company right now, an admission he accepts she is at work and that his ego was the problem here.
  • Why is it that every time that cops are trying to bully you like that they always keep walking towards you and try to corner to make you feel threatened but then they want to say they feel threatened. Keep your distance incase it is a dangerous person you have some space to react.

Officer Costs The City $75,000 Over Racial Profiling

  • A look into the officer’s past stops show that he disproportionately targeted blacks. (see video)

 

  • These 2 handled that perfectly…. That officer was definitely reaching for absolutely anything he could charge them on although they did absolutely nothing illegal and there was no real reason for the traffic stop to begin with…. This was absolutely a case of a racist officer profiling these 2 innocent citizens
  • This cop really made up that they stole the car, smoked weed in it, and had a gun all at once….
  • I’m amazed the young men handled it so well without showing anger. I was pissed just watching the blatant injustice. I’m sorry they had to deal with that crap.

[bg_collapse view=”button-orange” color=”#4a4949″ expand_text=”Show More” collapse_text=”Show Less” ]

 

  • The passenger is my Son. It’s unfortunate that in the 21st century, we’re still dealing with this. Know your rights, remain silent. This was a horrible experience for both of these 2 young men that weren’t the criminals in this incident. Even more unfortunate is our Son is on his 2nd lawsuit against the DMPD. They love to intrap our young Black men here in Des Moines. I’m praying he wins that one too. I say speed of the leader speed of the group, if that tells you anything about the Police Chief, that refuses to meet with certain members of the Black community with I find deplorable.
  • The fact that this cop knows how to manipulate his body cam and mic in such a subtle and subversive way speaks volumes…
  • “your buddy is giving me the idea he has a gun” jesus christ this cop is dangerous

 

  • ” I think your buddy has a gun, so I’m going to leave my partner alone with him.” – This officer’s logic

 

  • “Is this your car?” “It’s a rental” “Cool, cool, but is it your car?” “It’s a rental” “Ah, gotcha, but is it your car?”

 

  • I’m a lawyer. I’m incredibly impressed with the many videos you have made. In this one, you calmly and rationally demonstrate that the only reason for this stop was racial profiling. You are performing a great service. I’m happy to see so many thousands of comments on your videos. You are making a positive impact on our society.
  • Body cam has got to be the best thing that happened in the last few years. I can only imagine the dirty stuff police officers got away with before that
  • “What were you doing at the park?” “Just hanging out.” “Was that it?” “Well what else are you supposed to do at the park?” Haha this kid is awesome. Always respectful, always honest.
  • Let’s forget this officer, can we talk about how well this kid handled him? He did it almost perfectly. Well done kid, this is a great example.
  • “Your heart is thumping dude.” Yeah “dude” because you’re a white cop harassing two young black men who know they are completely at your mercy.
  • That victim was more polite and mature than that officer could ever hope to be.
  • Why this cop wasn’t fired is exactly what’s wrong with the system.
  • The detained citizen did a great job! He remained professional, calm, and de-escalated the situation while calming down the police officer.
  • Gotta love the whole “your heart is pounding…why is that” crap. “Uh, bc I just got pulled out of my car, handcuffed, and the officer keeps saying we have a gun, when we don’t.” He’s afraid he’s going to, at best, be arrested for nothing and, at worst, be shot.
  • I feel so much safer as a black man knowing these cops are out there “protecting” us.
  • When he handed the cop the key to innocently explain how it turns on and the cop puts it on the roof, you can see in his eyes he knows the cop is trying shit
  • That “police man” is a perfect example of what we don’t want in our police, an a extreme example of why pot is legal in more and more places, money, these “public servers” belong in prison
  • That cop is dangerously manipulative. he should have NO positions of authority.
  • What really gets me is these cops know they have on body cameras everything’s being taped and they still are under the impression that everything they’re doing is okay
  • The scariest part of this video is where he wants to get this kid to admit to something that he didn’t do JUST to cover his own tracks. Good job not giving him the satisfaction little bro….
  • Guy walks up to the car and has already decided there’s a gun, marijuana, and that it’s stolen… Yeah definitely no racial profiling going on here.
  • Black guy: doing exactly what the cop is asking him to do Cop: “I dont know why you’re doing that but you need to knock it off.”
2:35 , that eyeroll is a mood. This citizen 100% deserved that money just over that disrespect alone.
  • This actually made me feel scared for that young man. The audacity of the cop…the immediate false assumption about the friend having a gun, then that power tripping he was doing as he made the young man get out of his car…this harassment from the cop could have gone so badly
  • “Stop flexing, stop doing that”, when the camera is filming him standing perfectly still. Does he think it will change the footage by saying what he wants to happen?
  • You can obviously see that the guy isn’t resisting at all when the officer cuffs him, yet the officer says “why are you pulling, man?” So it makes it seem like he was resisting. Corrupt cops smh
  •  @teiasoserevi  Officers say that BS on camera so they can use it in court later. 100% Facts
  • And a lot of the time police think its ok to shoot because they suspect the person is “resisting”
  • This guy needs to be fired. He’s wayyyyy too scared to be a cop.
  • I just want to thank you for making a channel like this one. This happens to my brothers all the time. Thanks for sharing this. I am learning so much from this channel.
  • This cop is just saying stuff like “stop pulling”, “what are you doing?” JUST so he can have it on record that the kid MAY have resisted in case he wants to escalate the situation at any point. This stop was pure harassment and an attempt to ensnare these two kids.
  • “You not under arrest” says as he puts handcuffs on and pulls his pants off. Is this legal?!
  • It bugs me how they justify fear when they have guns, and imply their afraid of the people they harass.
  • I’m honestly so glad I live in Europe, I’ve seen countless situations like these in the states and sadly not all of them end well. I know if I was in the situation this dude was in I would have been nowhere near as calm and tolerant to the cop’s bullshit. Props to the guy tho for keeping his cool I couldn’t have done the same.
  • It’s sad that DWB is actually a thing. These kinds of cops need to be rooted out if there is to be any kind of real improvement in the relationship between citizens and the police.
  • The abuse of authority and the arbitrary arrest is flagrant. That is to say that suspect or not, he had already decided to arrest him.
  • This went from stolen car, shake on the ground, to a gun in the car. Like the level of escalation. I am glad they are still alive.
  • I’m so glad a law was just passed in philly to stop police from making traffic stops like this one, hopefully it spreads across the country
