Police departments should not be allowed to investigate themselves, utterly ridiculous.
Most asinine thing ever.
Right! However the action to take is file an Internal Affairs complaint which is an independent body that oversees police conduct where they interview the cops involved in a deposition videotaped interview to get their story on record, which then stays in their employment file for up to 5 Years and it can effect pay raises or promotions. This incident is the very reason why there needs to be NATIONAL POLICE REFORM!
The FBI really should investigate this as a civil rights offense.
@@archangelvvvinternal affairs did investigate and said the officers did nothing wrong. Ridiculous
What's more shameful is it came out of the city's budget, not the oink oinks 🐽 pocket🙄
When the cops has to pay out of their pockets that's when shit will change
The female cop does have to pay to both girls.
Good
The male also has to pay 2mill
@chris lauricella either you’re trolling or you are oblivious to reality it’s literally happening everyday. This county just took 47 cops of duty simultaneously for scoring to low on the psyche test. Just search cop auditors on RUclips.
@chris lauricella I wasn't cry about it, but glad cops has to pay for their miss deeds.
That family deserves every penny. Stop profiling people.
Well 8 mil is ridiculous, but it’s stupid af the police were rewarded
@@jesseroberts1041 But you have no problem with the county taking $100 million+ a year from the citizens for simple violations by using the cops as their pimp.
@@hipnoties2802 I’m not. Cops do lots of illegal stuff too, as good of one’s as there can be. But with the interest rates and considering nobody got killed, 8 million is inane to give. (10k alone can get you about 250 annually off interest with 2.5% at least in Canada)
It’s like our politicians not having to pay taxes because UgH BusInEsS ExPenSes. Like no, they should pay their stuff like cops should be seriously dealt with for abusing the honour their badge is supposed to have.
The weirdest part is they absolutely do not match the profile of car thieves. Car thieves are usually young males. This was a middle aged woman and her young daughters. What in the hell were they thinking?
It will get even worse if Trump becomes President.
As an ex cop, you should take the penalties from the cops pension and not from the taxpayers. This will continue over and over and over again if something doesn’t happen.
What made you quit being a police officer?

What that means is the world of law enforcement will go back in time if you know what I mean.

All settlements for police misconduct need to be paid out from the police retirement fund. Why should the taxpayers fund police abuse of the public????

The simple fact that, despite losing the case, the top brass of that law enforcement agency claims the deputies "did nothing wrong", is a clear indicator of how deep the issues of racism, discrimination and bias are entrenched in that department. To boot, the deputies were also promoted, following the incident, is unconscionable.
This department is a joke. They spent a year backing up the deputy who falsely accused the president of the Toronto Raptors of punching him right after the team won the NBA finals, despite the fact that the body cam footage showed that he was clearly lying.
Why would you ask if judge can reduce award? These people deserve the 8.25 million awarded.

The promotion of the officers really got to me... Not only were they not held accountable for what they did, but got a reward??? This is America.

We all know the cops are above the law they took an oath to uphold. The slave patrols of old is what modern day policing sprang from. That should tell us all how racist cops are.
We live in a clown world where they break the law and the citizens they abuse get to pay for their crimes.
Only in policing does an employee get to keep their job and get a promotion & raise for costing their company millions of dollars! Sickening!
I'm a former deputy sheriff and I think that this blatant violation is grounds to have the officer's fired.
The sheriff needs to be fired and it needs to come out their pockets not the people
Anymore I think it needs to come out of the pockets of the people because we keep electing incompetent politicians who won't do anything to fix the problem. The sheriff, in many cases, being one of those elected politicians.
@@rsweartruth
And the officers who were promoted by the way
It's up to a new policy to be made that separates Internal Affairs from the Police Department. When it comes to issues like this IAD will always have the departments back. Law enforcement cant be disciplined by the people who have the best interest of the law enforcement department as a priority. IAD should be an entity totally separate from law enforcement. 💯
@@rswear in California we don't get a chance to elect politicians

The sad part is the family initially thought the police were there to warn them about the car break-ins, making sure they stayed safe while waiting in the parking lot. 🙄. It kind of sends a secondary message that they are not seen as being worthy of safety; only of being suspicious and profiled.
I think the mother knew exactly what was going on. She’s a smart cookie and she “thanked” the officer for the warning to shut down his implied suspicion and contrived reason for his intrusive questioning of her. Unfortunately it didn’t sate his desire to violate this family’s constitutional rights.
the sad part is: there are bad cops, just like there are car thieves.
Right.
They never make sure blacks are safe we are always the suspects as you see in this video .....
Welcome to the world of a black person. I had security surround me years ago and they demanded I leave the building. I WORKED THERE! If I tell you some of my stories...

These officers are INSANE. It is so clear that the women were harmless.
My thoughts exactly. The mom was so clueless that he was accusing her of breaking into cars that she actually thanked him for telling her that. I wish they would have got more money and those cops lost their jobs.
The DOJ investigations need to take place and the citizens need to demand answers as to why those officers were promoted.

US has a major major problem with its law enforcement!!
Internal affairs works "at the pleasure" of the police chief. IA is a joke.
They didn't do anything wrong, this is how the police in America are trained to behave, especially towards black people. And if you call them out you're Woke!
This is what is known as "failing upwards".
of course they were promoted, they did what they were trained to do, profile minorities, and harass them, they did it perfect, so up the ladder they go, its sickening
When the police don’t even know the law…they should quit their jobs..embarrassing!!
I'm sorry for this embarrassing situation and thank God you all are safe.
It is clear that the boss must be fired.
My husband was stopped while returning a book to the San Lorenzo public library by the Alameda county sheriff's. It was around seven thirty on a sunday morning. They demanded his driver's license even though he was walking carrying a thin book. I guess the sheriff offiers had never seen a real book next to a library. Also in the early 1990's they shot and murdered an elderly man in my neighborhood for not following orders. We moved away from Alameda county to distance ourselves from these thugs.
I used to live there because as a young girl with 3 sisters my parents decided to leave Massachusetts and "go west." I had a friend who's father was the head of Oakland's police department, when he thought she had Cannabis in her room he beat her to an inch of her life. He gathered all her friends and the parents (including me) to their house. My friend's face was one black swollen bloody mess from his beatings.
He didn't find any information about drugs from anyone that day, we were good kids in the last year of high school. Oh how disappointed he was. I was soon a working 18yr old (at the Federal bldg in San Francisco) and left that horror behind me. It still haunts me, POLICE frightened me then, and with daily news of their brutality and incompetence, I see no reason to think of them in a better light. I have never seen anything but brutality, excessive force, and incompetency for many years. There are too many mistakes, there is a "code" they must let go of.
I cannot abide this way of POLICING IN AMERICA. Something must change.

Castro Valley is UNINCORPORATED, so the county sheriff patrol the streets. Catilytic theft is not uncommon in Castro Valley, but the woman driver did not look or act like she was a nefarious person. The Sheriffs officer could have simply put his bare hand on the hood of the car to determine the heat " soak " from a car that has been operated for hours. No the sheriff was plainly on a fishing expedition because the driver had a luxury automobile and was black. The jury saw the same.

No judge would dare get involved with altering the judgement. Not with black plaintiffs. Especially when they are 100% correct. I'm a former deputy sheriff and I would NOT have participated in this stop. Had I been called to assist, I would have told the primary officer that I'm going in service. That I am not going to be involved. I stopped an older black woman (60s) who was driving a beat up car and had her young grandson in the car. Her license was suspended for failing to pay a $25.00 seatbelt ticket. This was before body cams, and she told me before I ran her info. I told her to have a goodnight and to get her plate light fixed. She couldn't believe it. I told her that I was not about to summons her into court and tow her car, which she would have never gotten back, over $25.00 to the State. I got into the game to battle real criminals, not good people who were financially in a bad way, and I was not about to make her life harder. I have to look at myself in the mirror everyday. My job was to serve and protect. She was no criminal, so she needed to be protected from injustice.

Underfunded disability and health care systems as well, for those who buy the propaganda that universal health care is 'free' up here. It's VAPORWARE - doctors are retiring so fast with no replacements available.
Anyway, I am so glad the jury made a proper decision and I hope these people don't have to fight for the money.
What happened was WRONG!!!
The mother and her kids deserve every bit of that award that the courts gave to them.
This is why we can't get potholes fixed because cities are constantly paying these type of awards!
They should receive every penny of that 8 million+. So glad they were not unalived.
How can the IA department at the police station say the cops did nothing wrong?
This was such an obvious breach of their civil rights.
That Chief and everyone else needs to be fired and replaced.
We need to take a close look at the curriculum being taught at all academys across the country.
Because they review cases against policy not laws. That’s why the jury sent a message with an $8mil award
The Federal needs to look over I.A, a founding and I.A. dept need to be investigated.
They received a promotion for following the procedures they were taught. Do not be fooled, they get payed more to harass like it's a congratulation.
They drink out of the same trough.
You really think they teach anything at the police academy?
The mere fact that their department didn't see that these officers didn't do anything wrong says a lot of how F'ed up the system is 😮
We investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.
And obviously the reporter’s don’t believe they deserve the payout 🤬🤬🤬
As a yt woman,mother am so happy for this family ❤️ They did nothing wrong and they deserve that money ✅
Don't be so quick to jump for joy, that $8.2mil can be reduced by the Judge. So, the Deputies have been promoted and the amount of $$ may NOT end up being anywhere near as much. We'll see.
@@johnstubbs3401it most likely won’t be lowered cuz they sued the city. It normally gets lowered when suing a private company
@@mermaid30019 I hope they get every penny. I just wish it was coming out of those cops pocket. They're never held accountable, what's stopping them from doing the same sh*t again?...NOTHING.
MOVIN ON UP TO THE EAST SIDE. FINALLY GOT A PIECE OF THE PIE.
You’re a RUclips woman? Not sure what else you meant. I just hope it’s not a racial reconstruction of a word
i am so glad they got a settlement but they should never have had to go through this
Exactly!!!
Right‼️
@ Jay Mioff. Yet blacks from everywhere else in the world. Come here and flourish in 1 generation! And don't experience any of the shit AA cry about all day. When you behave like a permanent underclass. You get treated like one.
fucking I work 10hours to pay tax and cops 👮♂️ mess up my fucking tax money
@@jillconner5062 Lets examine Amerikkka history through out the years. Then have a conversation about your bullshit!
Got a PROMOTION!!! What a slap in their faces. Got the message..UNDERSTOOD 😢
It's crazy how the Court found them guilty but the police officers themselves felt like they were doing the right thing and got a raise for it the disconnect between reality and police is real
Why is it that it cost the city 8.25 million dollars and at the same time, their internal affairs finds that the officers did nothing wrong. If it cost the city several million dollars, something was obviously wrong!
So glad they were awarded in their favor!!👍🏾
"They don't want to listen to us so we'll detain them." Sir, what?
Sounds like you've never had a taste of that sweet, sweet power. It's quite addictive.
That’s not law enforcement that’s ego.
@@karinaz8756 beg to differ with you on that.
@@yvonnerahmes9618 If the law was enforced here, none of this would have happened..
Ridiculous, they will be broke in 1 year.
If I was a lead officer on this staff I would make these 2 cops days a living hell- embarrassing the department and forcing a cash out on a simple procedure that could been easily avoided. Whose hiring these vandals?
