Well considering all sides, once you approach someone and they resist the most basic questions to help keep their own community protected, it gives reason to believe something suspicious might be going on. Hard to think that nothing is suspicious when the resident starts being argumentative with authority who started off polite. They both needed to apologize for starting off on the wrong foot and restart the convo with clear heads.

And they have no idea how to deescalate the situation. The faculty member comes and says he knows him, but they make him stand ten metres away so he has to shout to try to calm the dude down, which obviously doesn´t work because who calms down when someone yells at you? Let the man go to him and talk to him quietly and let him know they will deal with it. But the cops don´t want a discussion they can´t hear happening because they want to control the situation that they caused. Even at the end the cop couldn´t let it go. He had to keep talking. Just say "I´m going to put your licence here and then walk away. Sorry for the inconvenience." and then do it and walk away. But no, he needed the last word. No wonder he got fired.
That is a different officer. It was the other officer, the first one, who irritated him. The other officers had nothing to do with it, they were made to believe that the young man was dangerous or holding a weapon.
One man with a gun cannot handle a student so he calls for backup then they couldn’t handle him so they called for the U.S army who arrived with tanks and planes
That's the standard procedure. Alternatively, could have either smacked the student a$$ immediately or shot him dead without asking questions. But ya know...that would have been painfully stupid and kinda racist.

It is not pride. I see this type of thinking all the time on subjects which have nothing to do with this. Once someone starts down a mental pathway they keep to that direction because they can do nothing else. It is why if a person who commonly debates in poor faith hears certain words they will make an assumption based on the data they already have set in their mind before the conversation even takes place. Then continue to speak as though they are right even after being proven wrong. We are more animal than some think. The act of pride in this case would actually be a fear response in this case.

Not to mention if he's a student it's also entirely possible his drivers license says a different address than his college dorm - maybe even a different state. Had he turned that over to him it would only 'prove' to the cop that he was lying, which is probably why he handed him the student ID.

Normally I would agree with you. However, those college students are pretty crafty! He could have been casing the joint for multiple TV sets, large-scale evidence of dancing, and oh yes, illegal walking. (FOR THOSE WHO DON'T GET IT...THIS IS SARCASM)
When the officer claimed his trash stick was "some sort of blunt weapon" when he clearly knew what it was seems like an indication he was trying to make the suspect look more dangerous than he actually is. Especially since that was his main message back to base. Blunt weapon armed black men being aggressive.

He could be pretending to pick up trash and wait for someone to leave their house so he can break in. *That's their thought process* EDIT: I've bolded a portion of my comment since some people can't read
CrNessata if that were true, once in the building, then what? Pretend to be a cleaner and wait for someone to leave their flat and catch the door before it closes? Common sense says no, that’s a stupid idea, the accused is not stupid, the police officer is clearly a boob. I mean if the accused is going to go to elaborate lengths to break into a student house, of all places, why then waste all that time and energy of pretending and then create noise by breaking the door? If he knows how to pick locks, then the accused wouldn’t pretend anything.
I feel that way when I have to verify myself with the fkn cable company when there is an issue. I am like if some stranger wants to call you to fix my service I give full permission. Who in their right mind would call the cable company if they didn't have to.
Reminds me of that footage of soldiers in a helicopter who told their backup officer, a man had a rocket launcher. in reality it was a camera with a tele. That was how they got their license to kill.
“Some kind of blunt object in his hand” was intentional and malicious to make the responding backup officers have a heightened sense of a threat so that when they showed up, they’d be more inclined to draw. This officer knew exactly what the “some kind of blunt object” was.
Exactly. He made it sound much worse purposely. Glad he is off the force. I think there are a lot of amazing police officers that truly want to make a difference but there are also ones like this guy that lets his ego get in the way. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity.
Definition of disingenuous, with an added stench of lethality. Wish we could be sure he'll never work as a cop again -- but we can't. There needs to be a registry for people like this.
But sir how do you explain these kind of officers I mean how do they even pass the academy with this behavior?? Or is 'checking' the behavior or attitude of the officers in the academy not necessary for them??
Not some officers, this is the result of systems of power, influence and control. This officer is doing exactly what he has been trained to do, which is to assume that he has carte blanc authority that is not allowed to be questioned, and that his assumptions are valid until proven otherwise. I bristle at your invocation of bad apples rhetoric
Obviously TRYING to set him up to be hurt by ANOTHER Cop, by saying "He has some sort of blunt objectcin his hand."( An embarrassment to our 'real' hard working, and very needed Police Force.)
wild Flowers No one denies the need for police, nor the difficulty of the job. But some, like the doofus pig in this case, make the job harder. And they’re too often tolerated and/or protected by other cops.
Students shows his school ID and continued to be harassed, Director asked do he work here and says yes I’m the director and they believed him without doubt that’s crazy!
Exactly!! Officer: Is this one of your properties? White guy: absolutely it is Officer: ok The white guy could've said that he owns the world and the officer would be like: Ok, you're totally believable, sir.
True. Either way he was doing a good thing for the people living there and causing no harm. If I was a police officer I would have appreciated him for the work he is doing.
Ok so every robber should just walk around with a clamper and a bucket? If that guy would have just answer the cops question calmy, so the cop could rule out that he was a trespasser the cop would have left within a couple of minutes.
@Khair Muhammad it was a metal rod and the cop would be scared because he doesn't want to shoot him cops just dont kill people they think of what their family goes through and all that but you need to look at the cop suicide rate because people kill themselves by cops by rushing them or threating with a gun or pole
@@chubby_cheesecake_cheeks Same lol. In my country, education takes 4-6 years depeding on the kind of police academy you want to go to. Then the police academy takes 2 years to complete.
Same thought myself. One normally wouldn’t go through that hassle to have a temporary residence on their ID unless it was imperative for whatever reason.
@@justwatch7091 also, not everyone passes. 😂 The academy here is very harsh, like you really need to have a good grasp of the law, ethics and training is really harsh. I have cousins who graduated from the academy and a lot of them gets desk jobs first before they can go on patrol.

The young guy needed to show his I.D. and be detained to prove that he belongs there. The older why guy just said yep this is my property. And just like that the older white guy was cleared, believed and wasn't harassed. That was bullsh*t.

May the one which never mistaken a bucket for a weapon throw the first stone. Don't judge the cop so quick buddy, that bucket is very similar to an assault rifle. Said no one ever.
Yes. I was thinking the same thing. I’m so impressed with that young man standing up for himself. Courageous and obviously very intelligent… and putting himself in dangerous position. I hope I’d have the same inner strength as he did in this twisted situation. 💫
When I first watched this I was 16, I thought the best solution to this was to comply with with officer for safety and to avoid the confrontation. But now as a man now, I realize the man was standing his ground against a bigger issue than a gun. Respect to the man for fighting for his integrity.
@@quantumwitcher9376 Literally all the cops except the first cop. The first cop acted very poorly, the rest had nothing to do with it. The first cop is completely to blame, not the others.
I'm glad I took law and criminal justice as my highschool electives..back when I wanted to become a cop. He has no reasonable suspicion for anything or probable cause to be pulling out his taser or firearm. This cop needs to be fired and given time in prison with felony charges of abusing his powers and sabotaging his proper code under the law. UNDER THE LAW.. not above it!!
The ID card was literally enough proof already to show that he "belonged" there. Honestly the moment he took the taser out on him was where the line was really drawn, especially if he wasnt threatening him at all. If you're afraid of a stick like that, then you shouldn't have a firearm or a taser on your belt.
He told him to show his id and then it will end there which was a total lie. In some states legally you do not have carry id or produce when asked. But you also want to mindful and read the room sort of speak because like it or not in a public forum the cop has the power. Comply and get home alive and then report the cop formally after the fact. It is not always the easiest to do because some cops try and bait to respond negatively so they validate their aggressiveness. The cop really wanted to tase the guy but the guy was not raising his voice or acting aggressively. So instead of defusing the situation the cop was trying to escalated matters.
For real no wonder he resigned. If you feel threatened by someone picking up garbage not only are you in the wrong field you should probably never go outside
I hate SO MUCH how he kept saying “just making sure you belong here” that alone speaks VOLUMES and he said it more than once. This is very sad and I am sorry for this man; just being a regular human existing like we all should be able to do peacefully and respectfully ❤
It’s so frustrating to see the kid trying so hard just to defend himself and the officer isn’t even trying to listen. I can’t imagine the rage he felt. Poor kid was just trying to do some good for the community.
It's saddening that we can't even help clean our communities without being treated like a bomb threat. I bet some stupid old Karen called the cops on the poor student too.
Right? Even at the time the cop is talking to the student like he is the man's handler. The cop got worse and worse as he went believing his own power. Was it little man syndrome? Hmmm
CameroonKing 00 I know what you mean but I don’t even trust these types of cops to even fight crimes to tell you the truth. I can imagine that they harass countless innocent people all the time in the midst of investigating the “crimes” they find. These types of cops don’t need a badge period. Because even if they choose to focus on real crimes, they likely target people of color.

He actually spoke very well, mostly trying to keep things calm, but threatening him to see if it would have worked. He was dumb for thinking he could be trespassing in the first place though, and the student should have just given his room number, or the officer should have followed him to the building to prove he lives there.
@@MichaelRockfez he literally proved that he was a student with both his id and Dorm room key. The cop had no right to ask for anything. Stop defending the cop.

Well all you stupid people some crimes cops are not made aware until after they happened but this guy was in front of the police officer and though he did nothing wrong, well he refused to comply for a little. Cops are humans, Some cops racially profile, A LOT DON’T so get over it. This is the world we live in and if you don’t like it, take it up with a official.
It got passed the point where the officer couldn't back down and save face, so he escalated the situation just to save his ego. That officer at the very least needs retraining.
This officer soon resigned, but received a $69,000 severance despite violating department procedures. He was well compensated for traumatizing this man, and will likely go on to work in another department as the United States has no precautions against this.
@@rupeniugavule3479 I strongly disagree in a realm of wrongdoing only the wrongdoer should be punished. Involving this officer's family to bring them trauma so these officers understand will not make them understand, there's your mistake already you think they have the same mindset as a regular person, newsflash if they had the mindset of a regular person they would have a similar or identical moral compass. But the fact is they don't. So going this route does 3 things. 1. Makes us worse than the officer by bringing harm to a family that had nothing to do with the incident and therefore we are harming people who did nothing wrong except associate with the officer. 2. Justify the officer's actions he will then say “ See I was right to be scared look how they went straight for my loved ones.” Lastly 3. It will breed more hateful people, now this family that has been traumatized will associated people of colour with negativity leading one or the whole family to act on trauma or try to regain their pride or dignity or ego leading to the exact idiocy that happened in this video. Rinse repeat 1/2
He looked like a kid in his department picture. He probably learned from the rest of the department how to treat certain people. Officer resigned and will most likely be picked up at a neighboring department
It’s crazy how the officers tone immediately changes when talking to the white guy, it is truly unbelievable how people can get away with this because they’re an officer.

The officer was literally trying to make this guy sound as dangerous as possible.
When the officer claimed his trash stick was "some sort of blunt weapon" when he clearly knew what it was seems like an indication he was trying to make the suspect look more dangerous than he actually is.

Anyone can trespass and pickup trash at my house lol
@Tommy B he has a point tho robbing happens
CrNessata if that were true, once in the building, then what? Pretend to be a cleaner and wait for someone to leave their flat and catch the door before it closes? Common sense says no, that’s a stupid idea, the accused is not stupid, the police officer is clearly a boob. I mean if the accused is going to go to elaborate lengths to break into a student house, of all places, why then waste all that time and energy of pretending and then create noise by breaking the door? If he knows how to pick locks, then the accused wouldn’t pretend anything.
I feel that way when I have to verify myself with the fkn cable company when there is an issue. I am like if some stranger wants to call you to fix my service I give full permission. Who in their right mind would call the cable company if they didn't have to.
“Some kind of a blunt object in his hand” was such deliberate wording, was willing to get the man killed.
the fact that it was literally a clamper with clamps on the other side yet he worded it that way as if he had a weapon was just insane
He could’ve just said “trash picker upper”
Yea, I agree, its sad
And the cop lied when the other officers get there… He tells them he never stated his address. Which he did.
Reminds me of that footage of soldiers in a helicopter who told their backup officer, a man had a rocket launcher. in reality it was a camera with a tele. That was how they got their license to kill.
“Some kind of blunt object in his hand” was intentional and malicious to make the responding backup officers have a heightened sense of a threat so that when they showed up, they’d be more inclined to draw. This officer knew exactly what the “some kind of blunt object” was.
Exactly. He made it sound much worse purposely. Glad he is off the force. I think there are a lot of amazing police officers that truly want to make a difference but there are also ones like this guy that lets his ego get in the way. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity.
i was lookin for a comment like this im very happy you mentioned it, cuz i was wonderin, so just thank you for your comment, like genuinly
Myb that blunt object could be a bio weapon which can cause mass extinction...
He tried to play dumb even when his back up got there it's ridiculous
Definition of disingenuous, with an added stench of lethality. Wish we could be sure he'll never work as a cop again -- but we can't. There needs to be a registry for people like this.

Potatoes can power a lightbulb. This officer, though...
Yeah if his IQ went up, maybe.
thats an affront to potatoes!🤨
I have been in policing for 40 years and I can’t believe the stupidity of some officers - this is a classic example of exactly that -
He's probably an officer that gets shuffled every few months
But sir how do you explain these kind of officers I mean how do they even pass the academy with this behavior?? Or is 'checking' the behavior or attitude of the officers in the academy not necessary for them??
Not some officers, this is the result of systems of power, influence and control. This officer is doing exactly what he has been trained to do, which is to assume that he has carte blanc authority that is not allowed to be questioned, and that his assumptions are valid until proven otherwise. I bristle at your invocation of bad apples rhetoric

Its difficult when you're not white.. while existing.
Ok so every robber should just walk around with a clamper and a bucket? If that guy would have just answer the cops question calmy, so the cop could rule out that he was a trespasser the cop would have left within a couple of minutes.

The ID card was literally enough proof already to show that he "belonged" there. Honestly the moment he took the taser out on him was where the line was really drawn, especially if he wasnt threatening him at all. If you're afraid of a stick like that, then you shouldn't have a firearm or a taser on your belt.
He told him to show his id and then it will end there which was a total lie. In some states legally you do not have carry id or produce when asked. But you also want to mindful and read the room sort of speak because like it or not in a public forum the cop has the power. Comply and get home alive and then report the cop formally after the fact. It is not always the easiest to do because some cops try and bait to respond negatively so they validate their aggressiveness. The cop really wanted to tase the guy but the guy was not raising his voice or acting aggressively. So instead of defusing the situation the cop was trying to escalated matters.

The FBI actually does some great work holding cops like these responsible. There’s actual a video of a police officer under investigation by the FBI for writing bad tickets getting detained by the same officer. Worth a watch.
..yeah, or some of those directors are Democrats...nice try .)
@505 link that video plz
"its obvious your working and cleaning" "suspect has some kind of blunt object" 💀
For anyone who got recommended this and is curious what happened after:
The police officer resigned, and Atkinson filed suit against the town, but settled out of court for $125,000
NICE!! A fat $125k for being subjected to racial bias and abuse of authority by a police officer. I hope he's doing well with that money.
Wow!Bravo👏👏👏
Good
Nice 👍🙂
@@BennyGoId dw a lot of that went to lawyer fees.
There’s people doing worst things and there over there trying to arrest a guy picking up trash....
rose patiag i know right, like what if there was a robbery happening next door and they’re focus was on guys with a holding a bucket :/
They werent trying to arrest him...if I was a burglar I could easily start picking up trash around a complex checking whose home and maping the area. And any burglar can sinply read off the address they’re at...doesnt confirm anything
rose patiag totally unacceptable. When there are real criminals they can’t oder won’t do anything but when there are people like this man just picking up trash then they try to play the strong police man. Hilarious.
@@andy1181-l3m he had no reason to confirm anything anyways.
Well all you stupid people some crimes cops are not made aware until after they happened but this guy was in front of the police officer and though he did nothing wrong, well he refused to comply for a little. Cops are humans, Some cops racially profile, A LOT DON’T so get over it. This is the world we live in and if you don’t like it, take it up with a official.
“He has permission to be doing whatever he’s doing here?”
You mean picking up trash?
Dude i'd give anyone permission to pick up trash outside my work even if he or she is not an employee. Why not, they're doing everyone a favor
It got passed the point where the officer couldn't back down and save face, so he escalated the situation just to save his ego. That officer at the very least needs retraining.
This officer soon resigned, but received a $69,000 severance despite violating department procedures. He was well compensated for traumatizing this man, and will likely go on to work in another department as the United States has no precautions against this.
@@mlaygo ummm jesus f**ing christ💀 THERAPY! GO NOW! 😂😂💀
@@SHADOWPRIME3000 nah hes right
@@rupeniugavule3479 I strongly disagree in a realm of wrongdoing only the wrongdoer should be punished. Involving this officer's family to bring them trauma so these officers understand will not make them understand, there's your mistake already you think they have the same mindset as a regular person, newsflash if they had the mindset of a regular person they would have a similar or identical moral compass. But the fact is they don't. So going this route does 3 things. 1. Makes us worse than the officer by bringing harm to a family that had nothing to do with the incident and therefore we are harming people who did nothing wrong except associate with the officer. 2. Justify the officer's actions he will then say “ See I was right to be scared look how they went straight for my loved ones.” Lastly 3. It will breed more hateful people, now this family that has been traumatized will associated people of colour with negativity leading one or the whole family to act on trauma or try to regain their pride or dignity or ego leading to the exact idiocy that happened in this video. Rinse repeat
1/2
@@SHADOWPRIME3000 I don’t agree. The need to be punished accordingly and this should be on his background check the next time he gets a job.
@@carlivasquez6840 so you agree with me then, I am saying that the officer should be held accountable and or punished, not his family.
The way that cop was acting and being racist disgusted me.
He looked like a kid in his department picture. He probably learned from the rest of the department how to treat certain people. Officer resigned and will most likely be picked up at a neighboring department
Male karen
Hahahaha snowflake he was racistttt little cry baby you are based on what?
@@jamie2015 they belived the white one without seeing his ID
@samu he was definitely stereotyping him based off of his identity, you just can't see it
It’s crazy how the officers tone immediately changes when talking to the white guy, it is truly unbelievable how people can get away with this because they’re an officer.
Do you not understand that the cop was investigating a trespassing? If he would have just the answered the cops questions calmy this whole situation would have been avoided.
@@maximilianjohandson3382 what? He was in his property and lived there and committed no crime? How does that give the officer any right to ask him to provide “evidence” that he lives there.
@@teenexorcism Because the police officer had received a call of a trespasser. He needed to find out if he actually lived there...
@@maximilianjohandson3382 no hedid not, he said the signs were the reason for the investigation.
@@teenexorcism Exactly,
It really makes you wonder about police training and police department policies throughout this country.
Outrageous.
5:07 “I feel threatened” “YOU FEEL THREATENED YOU HAVE A GUN” This made me roll my eyes from how stupid the cop is
At the same time it's makes us LOL bc it belongs in a comedy skit for how stupid it is.
He was literally holding a bucket I don’t understand the need for him to “feel threatened”
Everyone else here from the Minneapolis Riot
Cop was trained to say those things as long as u feel threaten u have the right to use deadly force so if u r afraid of all blk ppl cause they make u feel threaten then I guess u can use deadly force simple white supremacists mathematics
Like even if he was trespassing
The man is picking up trash
He’s literally doing something good
yup
A police officer CANNOT trespass someone. The property owner has to. This officer was out of line and wayyyy overreacted. As a former LEO, I can tell you if I rolled up as his backup, it would have ended right then. I would have told the student to go back to what he was doing and told the other officer that he was totally not in the right there.
It would still be trespassing and that's illegal
He wanna keep his college dorm clean! What's wrong with that?
@@taraflint5391 Unless a property OWNER complains, the police cannot arrest you for trespassing. They cannot "assume" you are trespassing on their own.
“Has a gun”
I am scared of the trash picker.
So he didn’t need to verify the guy who verified that the guy stays there?
Worst part is how quickly the officer believed this other dude on who he is
i was going to write that as well... he believed the white guy without asking for ID...should every black man should do what michael jackson did,remove their black skin or what?
The other officer probably believed him because he thought the other cop was actually doing his job well. all he knows is to trust his colleagues. He probably didn’t know what was actually going down.
Damage wasn’t that a different cop?
He didn't even asked the work card of that white man. That white man could lie too you know, Officer. But u just trust him like that. And u point a gun to a kid. 6 to 1.
@@poppylovegrove8765 ballooney.. i guess the three officers around george floyd thought that 4th officer was doing a great job with his knee on his neck.. disgusting
The cop made the situation a whole lot worse by intentionally giving his fellow officers misleading information. “ he’s got a blunt object of some description “
"He has... **pauses as if trying to figure out what it is** some kind of a blunt object in his hand." Your cover is going to arrive and be highly annoyed you mislead him into thinking the situation is more severe than it is.
Officer knew he screwed up and instead of backing down tried to protect his dignity by creating a fictitious situation. Which backfired on him. The student kept walking away...how is that a threat.
@@EddieJrDigiarts The issue is whether his rights are impeded or not. The police officer had no probable cause in this entire situation. Can you name me one way the person in the video was breaking the law in any form or fashion?
Edwardes Gomes don’t deepthroat the boots, what kind of coward cop sees this guy and thinks his life is in danger?
This cop has too much pride. Once he realizes this man won't take part in his ridiculous charade, his ego kicks in.
EXACTLY!!💯
@Behemoth They all like "i'm wrong but i will not admit it and l will make you the one who wrong"
Exactly. The trash picking guy also got pride and doesnt want to bend over and shine the officers shoes. There's no reason to press him for information like that. Was there a reason for suspicion? No.
@@Anomalous-Plant apparently a black man holding a stick was enough for him to pursue the issue, I mean anyone with even a partial assemblance of a brain can tell the guy is just picking up trash.
