If 2 men can't subdue/arrest a 64 year old man who is also crippled just by using physical force,then you're in the wrong job.period!
Correct!
Absolutely! If they couldn't get him into the police car, they should have called for the Prison van or for an Ambulance Transportation Service. It was a no brainer!!!
yep
Oh so you know the guy personally? You know he’s cripple and not just using the wheel chair to gain sympathy while he pan handles, because know ones ever done that before, right?
@@SS-ux6cg exactly my thoughts...75% of these faking desease wheelchair dumbfuks are like this ...besides why did they call the police on him? They don't show that ...they just show the police arresting him
"Are you going to walk or not?" Dude he's literally in a wheelchair
Right I heard that to and was like if he could walk he wouldn't be in a wheelchair dumbasses. And there was no reason to tase him at all, it's not like he can get up and run away or anything.
@@dracul691 well, a lot of people in wheelchairs have some ability to walk. but i get your point
This is what happens when you give people with high school educations a lot of authority. They have to abuse it because they can't logically perform their jobs in a proficient manner.
@@deansbian5607 WELL THIS ONE DIDN'T. LOL
@@deansbian5607 You shouldn't EXPECT somebody in a wheelchair to be able to walk. That's just dumb - literally the opposite of what the context tells you lol
“Are you going to walk or not” to the man who he just ripped out of his wheel chair violently.
I wonder if he'll do this to his own parents or grandparents.
@@theheirofgrace8095 He wouldn't since they probably aren't black.
STUPID M..F Should be fired
@@WafflezDay race card appliedlol
Give him the benefit of the doubt! I'm guessing he was trying to shock some life back into his legs
Cop needs JAIL time for assault with a weapon, NOT just fired!!!
The guy is in a wheelchair and the dummy asks him, "are you gonna walk or what?" To make it worse, he tases him 4 times and lies that he was violently resisting while his bodycam told a different story. Unbelievable!
At this point bodycams are used more for exposing cops than protecting them😭
@@TheReal_GigaChad He'll just get a job in another police station.
If he lies with his bodycam imagine the lies without...SMH!!!
Harris Henbest needs to be reevaluated. I was at the Fort Lauderdale airport last week and I just got a Ticket for being parked illegally in terminal 4 by officer Harris Henbest. However, I was never given a verbal warning. I had an officer come up to me and tell me that I needed to move and I told him yes sir I will move right now once these cars get out of my way. I then moved and went around the whole airport just to get back to terminal 4. I then received a ticket a week later in the mail. I don’t even know if it is Harris Henbest. Because he does not look like the officer that I encountered. However, I want justice! I support the justice system and don’t want this to happen to anyone else. 80$ may not be big to some people. But money is money!!
@@mostpassiveuser8904 nah he's not getting in any other law enforcement job any time soon cheif
a Taser is totally "inappropriate" for a handicapped individual.....especially using it multiple times.....the cop is a punk and cowardly bully
facts
ACAB
No he is not a punk, he is a pig. No ofense to pigs.
💯
Most cops are ,get the alone without the toys and the blue line. You got a sniveling scared coward!
How do you expect him to get up off the ground if you tasing him. Just imagine what would have happened if he wasn’t in that wheelchair……UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Maybe the taser was suppose to make him bounce off the floor hahaha
And he asked a man in the wheelchair are you GONNA walk what a DOODOO BIRD. He SHOULD have lost his job .
Yeah how come they don't just cuff him... it's not like he was resisting being handcuffed😒
@@deepspace1770 yeah, he cant stand up so you dont need to cuff him😒
Real talk💯👏
I miss pink houses
Its been a minute
City line and cave man side...
Good ole days🤔
This former officer should be in prison for a very long time!!! He is a danger to Society!!!
Oh please there are homeless people out here sleeping it out in the street in wheelchairs that is not supposed to be happening in America but it is oh I forgot to mention there are people that's homeless ain't got no legs sleeping in wheelchairs
Just because he was fired from one department, doesnt mean he is a former officer. More than likely he has a job at a nearby department, doing the very same job he was fired from. Only job in the world, where you can even kill someone (illegally) and get rehired, even promoted. Something is very wrong, reform is overdue.
@@joejose8433what does that have to do with this 💀
@@joejose8433you good? You were speaking nonsense and it’s kinda worrying us
@@joejose8433 Meaning?
The "why" is easy. He's a bully. He enjoys hurting people knowing that they can't fight back without fear of being shot and killed.
Sadistic
🤺💐
facts brother
A racist bully because he would never treat a white person like this.
On the money!
These cops like this one never did a dam thing in their life accept to become a cop. There is an old wise saying that is so true and I'm 78 yrs old and learned it 40 yrs ago from a very smart businessman. "You will catch more flys with honey than you will with vinegar". If that cop would have treated that man with respect even though he had to arrest him he would still be a cop today.
when the officer said “aren’t you going to walk” how do you expect someone in a wheelchair to fully walk obviously they’re in the chair for a reason
That cop was having some serious medical and miracle expectations... this shows he was creating his own justifications to violate his human rights to say "your honor the man refused to walk peacefully to the vehicle forcing me to taze him" 🤔
The cop was having a Benny Hinn moment, except the guy didn't get up and walk
RIP brain
Also
Tzztzzz
Put your hands tzztzz behind your back.
How you thimk he going to be doing that?
Tzztzz
He knew exactly what he was saying.
The dude is bound in a wheelchair and panhandles to get by. Those five warrants are for drugs and failure to appear in court (what a monster)! For those people mentioning the five warrants to justify the violence, I think you need to reevaluate your morals and what's actually going on.
Agreed he is in a wheel chair i thought officers used tasers if someone was fleeing. Can he run??🤔
He pointed the wheels at the officer 😆
If they behave this way on camera
Imagine how they behave when there’s no cameras
Thank you 👏
And Portland is a crime free zone.
Resisting without violence is a bullshit charge.
Literally
It’s not every case when an officer is held accountable. So glad to hear they dealt with this in a real way rather than suspending them with pay
I swear to God he's in a wheelchair, unless that handicapped idiot had a weapon how is he a threat
No commen sense on officers part.
If the man wasn't a career criminal or resisted this wouldn't have happened.
He was only fired because there was a video. That is the ONLY reason.
@@johnburt9436 no dude . I don’t know what the reason was cuz it wasn’t that. MANY cops get slapped on the wrist with a paid vacation that they call “suspension” but they still get paid by unions. Even with video evidence of horrendous behavior.
Just recently I saw a cop video where a SARGEONT, (ugh I forgot his name ima try to find it later and link it here) but he was suspended after choking out a fellow officer. The victim was a female grunt officer who pulled him by the belt away from the man they were arresting because she instinctively felt he was being too aggressive with them. And he turned around and choked her. And he was just sent to desk duty. It was all on video
….why on earth would anyone EVER need to tase a man in a chair who can’t run. Smh.
This is heartbreaking.
Why? Because the Chief, who falsely claims to not knowing why he did it, has so far allowed this to happen... And mind you, the Chief didn't fire that criminal cop for the offense, he fired him for the embarrassment that it caused. In the end, though, he still protected the Criminal Cop, by not arresting and charging him with the Crimes he committed. And he let the other cop, who aided and abetted the Crimes completely off the hook.
Because he's a JBTP.
That man is so fortunate to still have his mother at that age.
that is sooooo true
And how unfortunate she is to have a son who is wanted by the law.
@@rondodson5736 🙄
Well I would love to give your parents back because I need the money.
No kidding. There are some benefits to having children young in life, not many, but having so much of your family for so long is pretty awesome.
This should have been presented to the prosecutor’s office for criminal charges. I’m sure there are laws to protect the elderly.
If they behave this way on camera
Imagine how they behave when there’s no cameras
Exactly my thoughts
It’s worse word from experience and not every thing makes the news
Ask Black people! We know how they act when there's no cameras!
@@TotoRiina319 u weird 😂😂
@@TotoRiina319 ???
He shouldnt be a cop if he cant de-esculate. He was downright abusive, maybe sadistic.,
No "maybe" about it.
And to think he hadn't even been in the job a year. 🖕🏽pigs
This is why he now works at Wal-Mart.
@@walterknight2947
Really ?
Cop Says, "are you going to walk or not". The man is in a wheel chair.
Bruh 💀💀I died thought that was hilarious
🚌 all cops are hired from the short bus!
Not funny but kinda reminds of a scene from trading places
Haha it was hilarious he could definitely walk I bet. One of the many homeless who abuse handicap chairs
@@brocksamson9737 how would u know , arnt u racist oh nvm I thought u mattered. My bad proceed.
He should have been charged with a crime. Not just lose job
A cop is not really out of a job, even when he's fired, until his peace officer permit is suspended or revoked then he's out of a job, they just go to the next county and get hired and continue their behavior, so where's the justice in that?
Thugs with guns and badges, hopefully he doesn't end up killing an innocent man in the next county they hire him at.
Thank 😊 tell about officers. He still certification to be a cop 👮♂️. He just applied in another county for job.He not fitted to a cop taser a handicap man that can walk or stand up.THAT IS SOOOO SAD. SUE,SUE,SUE !!!!!!!
I'm trusting his certs have been revoked.
Well hopefully he learned his lesson
THERE ARE SO MANY JURISDICTIONS UNDER INVESTIGATION THEY ARE GONNA HAVE TO TRAVEL FURTHER AND FURTHER AND THESE LAWSUITS ARE GONNA CATCH UP WHEN YOU COST MORE THAN ONE JURISDICTION MILLIONS.
There needs to be punishment for any other officers on scene who do not try to intervene and stop the assault. Policing in America will change
Amen 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yes Death that's a great punishment I am onboard with giving cops the death penalty
That is the real justice we need here in Florida this police officers in florida and this sheriffs in Florida are always the worst and get away with everything that they do wrong
No I’m sorry it won’t change just look it’s getting worse
@@darrellpiker3330 with people like you, you're right, it won't change.
"he was resisting"
"he was in a wheelchair..."
"Oh sorry...I mean't to say 'I feared for my safety'"
"ah, ok, charges dismissed"
He was a black man that why
That is the script…almost every officer-involved shooting or homicide ends with one or the other statements.
It america is normal you can kill a poor black man with no charge if you a rich or cops
& pay that men
@@gloriajohnson8668 no. They did it because they were idiots. Why does everybody think white cops hate black people?!
Hurting a disabled old man because he had to beg for money, in the richest country in the world...
Dystopian hellscape.
Ghastly country.
Yeah bro the richest country in the world, where we are in debt trillions of dollars yet are allowed to take billion dollar loans thanks to our incredible reputation for violence. 💪😮👍🇺🇸🦅
@@YegoKroeten you say that like you're proud but history will remember the US as a violent bully not the richest country in the world
that title can go to any country that tries hard enough and with the way the economy is going the value of money is not or will not be the same.
a lot of African Warlords are rich too but you don't see me calling them the greatest men when they've built most of their empire off the backs of less fortunate people
what happens is everyone stays in the same wealth class they were born in if not moved down to make space for the people above it's why our parents will say it was easy to get a job in their time
just like how people who started RUclips first became the most successful on the platform
@@asen4774 yeah bro its satire.
Man. I wish I could commit serious crimes- then just lose my job and get fired.
The double standard is disgusting and unacceptable.
WOW, commit a crime, get fired....NOT arrested...He'll show up in another police dept ....somewhere
I never abused my position of having a badge. I even had suspects that would tell the judge i had given them every opportunity before arresting them and were in court because they had screwed up.
@@elroyvieira5909 That is what I was about to say.
That cop needs to be in jail with the inmates.
December 26, 1933 49 Statute 3097 Treaty Series 881 ( Convention on Rights and Duties of States ) stated CONGRESS replaced STATUTES with international law, placing all STATES underinternational law.”
“December 9, 1945, the International Organization Immunities Act relinquished every public office of United States to United Nations.”
“22 Code on Federal Regulations/CFR 92.12-92.31 FR Heading “Foreign Relationship” states that an oath is required to take office.”
“Title 8 USC 1481 states once an oath of office is taken, citizenship is relinquished, thus one becomes a foreign entity, agency, or state. That means every public office is a foreign state, including all political subdivisions. (i.e. every single court is considered a separate foreign entity).”
“Title 22 USC (Foreign relations and Intercourse) Chapter 11 identifies all public officials as foreign agents.”
“Title 28 USC 3002 Section 15A states United States is a Federal Corporation and not a government, including the Judicial Procedural Section.”
“Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 4j states that the Court jurisdiction and immunity fall under a foreign state.”
“Title 28 USC 1602-1611 ( Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act ) allows the jurisdiction of a court to be challenged, and a demand of proper jurisdiction to be stated.”
“July 27, 1868, 15 Statutes at Large Chapter 249 Section 1 “Acts Concerning American Citizens in a Foreign State,” expatriation, is what is broken when jurisdiction is demanded, and is not met with an answer.”
“In 1933, elected officials and the alleged “country” have been given to the United Nations Government system. Under Senator Barack Hussein Obama’s Bill, SB2433, the Poverty Act of 2007, the UN military forces can step on American soil to confiscate weapons from U.S. citizens. Under the Bush Administration, B.A.R. Attorney General Ashcroft and Haliburton established FEMA Concentration Camps for U.S. citizens who refuse the new world order/one world government.”
That the International Organization Immunities Act of 12-9-1945 - - Congress relinquished every public office over to the UN. Local governments up to the president fall under UN jurisdiction. Congress gave the UN the right to dictate what laws will be international & gave them the right to tax the States.
“That the International Reorganization Rescind Act- Congress put this into form but they never took action to rescind the act. Fairly recently an Ohio judge filed suit claiming that Congress did not have the right to relinquish government authority over to the UN (a corporation or foreign country) and that the Congressional act was a constitutional violation because they didn’t put it to the States or the people to agree on it. In 2005 the US Supreme court declined to hear the case therefore all public offices are under UN jurisdiction & they are not American Citizens.”
“That the Oath of Office - Title 5 USC 331, 332, 333 backed up by Title 22 CFR Foreign Relations 92.12 - 92.31 and Title 8 USC, section 1481 - the public official relinquishes his national citizenship and are thus foreign agents as stipulated under Title 22 USC, chapter 11, section 611, loss of national citizenship - Public officials are no longer US Citizens, but rather are foreign agents and must register as such.”
“That Title 28 USC CHAPTER 176 - FEDERAL DEBT COLLECTION PROCEDURE.
The Federal Debt Collection Procedure places all courts under equity and commerce and under the International Monetary Fund.”
“That in 1950 81st Congress investigated the Lawyers Guild and determined that the B.A.R. Association is founded and run by communists under definition. Thus any elected official that is a member of the B.A.R. will only be loyal to the B.A.R. and not the people.”
His mother is 85! Damn! She don't look a year over 70! I'm getting up there and look a hell of a lot older than that lady! More power to you mamma!
Elderly, paraplegic, black, wow, I can’t imagine how much this poor man was deprived of his liberties. My respect goes to him and his family.
Why point out that he is black?more unarmed white men are killed by police anyway. Actually we ALL are being targeted by bad tyrannical police daily. We need to bound together not allow people, narratives and millions of dollar scamming “movements” to divide us!
@@stagename1031 I also pointed out the victim as elderly and paraplegic, but you’re right, anyone regardless of who they are outside or in is susceptible to police brutality, but really I don’t know what’s in the mind of the people in charge at this point.
@@DMH-bt2zo I agree wholeheartedly. I’m just so tired of the divisive narrative. Heaven forbid if we all band together as Americans. This administration, politicians and the judicial system would come crumbling down. This is why they keep pushing these radicalized people to the forefront and on the media. It is all to divide us and keep us weak. This country is facing the largest economic crisis in history all due to this administration and what do they do?? FIGHT TO ALLOW MORE UNVETTED undocumented immigrants and criminals to pour across the border who have no money and are using BILLIONS of our tax dollars while we Americans loose are homes, can’t pay for gas or food while the shelves continue to get more empty. Our babies are dying and hospitalized due to no formula but the shelves in the migrant facilities are stocked FULL! We can’t even care for the people we have here yet they push to allow millions more in! These people have no health screening and have been released into the country. Over 250,000 a MONTH since Biden took office! And that’s just the ones they have documented! This country is screwed. Not to mention Putin invading Ukraine due to the weakness shown by Biden who can’t even formulate a sentence. Oh and NOW China is threatened to invade Taiwan! So what does Biden do 2 days ago? Instigate the situation to make it even more violate so once again the White House has to walk back his remarks! I hope the blind people who hated Trump so much are happy with the absolute destruction of America. In 7 years we will no long be a leading economic power. We have lost over 56billion now approved for Ukraine while we will all be doomed. Not including the tens of millions if not way more that was just left in Afghanistan. If the USA does go into war, we have given away ALL out money and resources in the last year! This was calculated by Russia and China and this administration is SO STUPID it fell right for it.
But thank GOD we no longer have mean tweets to deal with!
@@stagename1031 That is one excellent point. Really, I feel like we need to move forward one way or another, regardless how or when.
@@DMH-bt2zo have a wonderful day and I wish you the best!
Cops holding other cops accountable? That's a breath of fresh air.
Officer: Stop resisting, tases guy on wheelchair 4 times
Other Officer: does nothing to stop him…
This is the reason why we demand video recording so people like this do not have this type of power over people
Exactly second officer should be fired too. No effort to stop that torture.
Why didn't the other cop step in...
Right is right wrong is wrong both SHOULD be fired OMG
This will only decrease the trust the public has with the police.
Precisely.
That trust never existed not for us atleast.......
Simole solution to this rather than blaming the media for simply showcasing the police OWN ACTIONS to the wider public maybe the police should simoly stop the nonsense and maybe just maybe the ones that keep doing it should face imprisonment aswell rather than a paid suspension
The trust between public and officers is already at an all time low
If they hadn’t fired him, trust would be even further eroded. Glad they did the right thing . Poor guy. No matter what his problems that was inexcusable.
For some of us, the trust has been gone since we were kids. Crazy cause I wanted to be a police officer at one point
Tazing a man in a wheelchair.....such a brave officer, putting his life on the line.....
WOW, commit a crime, get fired....NOT arrested...He'll show up in another police dept ....somewhere
Am just so so sick of cop's always doing stupid thinks,they think everybody is a dam criminal
“You gonna walk or not” as the man literally has a wheel chair
*How heartless and cold can people be to see a disabled man panhandling for money and call the police on him when he's just trying to survive?!*
I dont think white people have hearts. I need to test this theory.
@xzbitxzbito3155reread that sentence
@xzbitxzbito3155 What does Japan have to do with the subject, when it wasn't brought up?
1312
@xzbitxzbito3155This is literally not true. I've personally seen homeless people in Japan why would you make this up.
Big deal. He’ll move an hour away and get a new job at another department.
He doesn't just need to be fired, he needs to be prosecuted for falsifying charges and abuse of power/assault.
Police Officers have a difficult job, but the bad apples need to be held accountable (by their own departments and by the courts) to reduce these incidents and rebuild trust in our peace officers.
lol
Only out of a job?? His sorry ass oughta be in jail!
Cop needs to be prosecuted for assault on the handicapped,loose his certification nation wide and never ever be allowed to be on a police force ever again.
The Nazi cop has immunity. That's the real problem. Our Justice system is ass backwards
Dude's in a wheelchair, where's he going? I'm surprised he didn't go straight to a pit maneuver with his cruiser....
I don't know what his warrants were for, but I really doubt this guy could put up enough of a fight to justify a Taser.
Vids like this are why I laugh when cops get dropped ☠️
That's a good chief from what I can see. We can only hope that officer didn't just go to another department after he was fired.
Ya white chiefs are evil
I wouldn't be surprised if he turns up quietly in another police department
Of course he did!!
I disagree completely. He dropped a charge to resisting without violence. But never charged the cop. All while telling the people the cop was breaking policy when the cop used assault with a deadly weapon and lost his qualified immunity.
@@scottbenzing1361 While frustrating, there is a certain amount of lenience we must allow law enforcement when it comes to the use of force if we want it to properly function in society. For me personally, this comes down to intent.
We have no shortage of situations where an officer has no right to detain a person, and simply abuses the power of the state to hurt others. This is not one of those cases.
In this incident, a legal arrest was made as he did have valid warrants--5 of them in fact. The issue is in the use of force as it feels like the taser was used in an attempt to force compliance rather than fear of harm.
I think resisting without violence is a charge that can be fought in court since citizens have no obligation to assist officers in the course of their duties, but stands as an at least reasonable charge(though whether the charge itself should exist is another matter).
Since there is no law against excessive force, and assault by police officers in the course of their duties can't exist while allowing them the power to apprehend criminals, there was nothing for the chief to charge the officer with. That said, I think Mr. Grant has a case for it, as excessive force is a violation of the fourth amendment--but again that would be a civil suit against the town and police department.
What a coward cop, he should be in jail, I feel so sorry for that man, and when the mother spoke it broke my heart.
Agree
The officer said "are you gonna walk or what." Someone tell him he can't walk he is in a wheelchair smh.
We need more Chief's like him getting rid of the bad apples.
Why wasn't there proper training. Yeah that is the Chiefs responsibility. So he should be held accountable as well
The chief only did this cause it went viral and was trying to quiet things. If he was a good chief he should have got rid of the other cop who didn't step up to stop the other cop. The barrel of apples are already bad.
He’d move to another and clock in again. Sharpton will be on it soon
Yeah good cop would have let that guy sit there and Panhandle with all his warrants.. who cares what that stupid business owner wants
@@tomblount5635 nothing is ever good enough for y’all. They could fire every cop and chief in that county and you wouldn’t be satisfied. Always this stupid anti police blame game.
Respect for firing officer, he should be charged as well..
Vern: Put him a leaky rowboat and set him adrift in the ocean, with two 5 lb. hams strapped to his back.
Then we'll see how tough he is.
WOW, commit a crime, get fired....NOT arrested...He'll show up in another police dept ....somewhere
Abolish qualified immunity now!
The end qualified immunity battle cry is cool and all and I'm all for it but qualified immunity only protects from civil litigation and then only in certain circumstances. "The doctrine of qualified immunity protects state and local officials, including law enforcement officers, from individual liability unless the official violated a clearly established constitutional right. " End quote. What you really need to do is elect prosecuting attorneys who are willing to prosecute criminal cops but since they're all part of the good old boy system good luck with that.
people who want to let it slide about what the disgraced cop did and how he did it quote the warrents outstanding, as if those things give free reign to the sturmtrooper and his huge unkindnesses to a man in a wheel chair. The tazing is disgusting, the firing is justified, and criminal charges ought to be forthcoming at the ex-cop.
I in no way excuse the officer's actions, nor do i excuse the criminal actions of the suspect. Lets butter both sides of the bread and be fair about it.
The taser wasn't justified, but he did have five outstanding warrants & resisted arrest. He should have been arrested & charged.
Termination was appropriate in this case. There's a spectrum of force and it looks like this officer jumped to the middle of the ladder.
@@Caseytify how much resistance could he give? The five warrants were failure to appear and possession of a drug ...possibly for pain. More elderly than you care to know about are out here panhandling and homeless now, no health insurance, food. Smh...some stupid warrants...
@@Caseytify You get a warrant when you DON'T APPEAR, but you usually don't appear when you _have no money_ to pay fines! And you're a drug addict in a wheelchair; so it's that much harder to get to court & wait for hours w/no bathroom breaks etc. Those are Poverty Warrants. He's not Al Capone. More importantly Tasers make you stop resisting, by making you _unable to control your movements,_ so how can multiple Taser shocks solve the 'problem' of him moving around?! The Officer and (many like him are just lying.)
@@rondodson5736 I agree the man should be taken in for the warrants but the point is he stilled deserved more respect than he got.
Thank God that man didn't have a heart attack, and can call Morgan and Morgan
Some people really get off on inflicting pain on people weaker than them self. I'm glad this Chief saw this
That chief is also responsible for how his officers are trained. He should have addressed that as well.
@@ctibpo991
You could be right but training can't get rid of character flaws
@@mtw1234 You are so right! Personally I am tired of hearing about how cops need better training. That's either not working or was never the solution in the first place. Many police officers are simply thugs with a gun and a hateful heart. Many cops are a microcosm of the communities they represent, living their hate and racial animus on the job every day. At least that's how it looks from my end.
hold on if that chief was white he might say it was fine i seen it many times that happened
Responsibility fall on the chief. It's top down.
He is a stand up Chief bless him
Finally someone held accountable, lets hope he can't get another job in a different city or state
They need to take Way his certification never to be a Tyrant ever again
This officer had barely been on the job with this department for a year when he decided it was ok to taze a handicapped man on the ground 4 times. How long has he been a cop? What department did he work with before and why did he leave? If he's a newer cop what kind of training did he have, because apparently he didn't follow protocol at all despite chest cameras recording everything, which makes me think he didn't think there was any problem with what he was doing?
He wasn't too handicapped to have 5 active warrants and he wasn't too handicapped to resist arrest. Tell me genius, what would you have done?
Exactly and that comes from the top down. He felt like he could get away with it because it has happened before
He was following protocol, his own.
@@harrypost9442 not taze him or kick puppies like you and that coward
I year on the job..however if this cop thought tazing a handicapped man any time much leas 4 times was acceptable..then no amount no amount of training. Can fix this! I hope he gets sued!! Or at least charged!!! And i respect the job they do! 😡
That poor man is in a wheel chair and the police officer has the nerves to ask “are you going to walk or not” like bro do you need glasses 😑
Hey, I know this community feels safer having an officer like this. Oh my God he protects the community. Are you serious? What a bag of nails
It’s about damn time that one of these unprofessional, abusing authority and racist ass police officers have been FIRED!!!!
That's the problem. He's not out of a job, he went two miles up the road and got hired by another city!🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@JohnDoe-qu8jt he didnt resist at all. Imagine bring as dumb as your are thinking a man in a wheel chair is supposed to walk. Then defending an officer who stuns him for not walking lol
Qualified immunity has spoiled the Rotten
Telling a person in a wheelchair to stand, is like telling a blind person to see
UPDATE: Officer has been hired at next precinct over. Close enough to home it barely affects his commute.
Don't forget to permanently revoke that former officers creds as well so he can't just go get hired as an officer somewhere else. People don't understand that as long as he keeps his creds he can still be an officer. It's most often overlooked.
They need to regulate a register for this kind of ex police officer…otherwise they just moved on to another county continue with their abusive ways…until they end up killing somebody.

Hence the police force needs reforms
This fact is not lost on me or overlooked. Many of these cops that commit these horrendous acts get hired elsewhere.
This would have to go down in America's history as the worst arrest ever ,DISCUSTING BEHAVIOUR BY LAW INFORCEMENT
Shooting a person repeatedly with bullets then yelling commands at them, expecting them to comply is slightly worse.
Worst arrest! Not by a long stretch. Another mob member shot another wheelchair bound man, IN THE BACK, killing him as he fled! Fled in a wheelchair FFS!!
Get rid of all the charges not just resisting arrest
When he said a tazer shouldn't be a first option I couldn't help but think that it's usually a bullet as a first option.
The victim should lawyer-up with the lawsuit against the cop and/or the PD.
- Malheureusement aux USA 🇺🇸 beaucoup de flics 👮♀️ se comportent encore comme leurs aïeux de l’époque du “ Far-West ” à la gâchette facile et aux comportements arrogants et humiliants !!……
J’ai vu 👀 beaucoup de vidéos d’interventions de policiers américains 🇺🇸 , et à chaque fois c’est la même brutalité excessive envers les citoyens souvent pauvres et malheureux 😭, problèmes de drogues , alcoolisme , sans domicile fixe !!…… Vous avez vraiment une police 👮♂️ aux pleins pouvoirs abusifs , il est temps que la loi change dans le rapport de force !!…… Amicalement depuis la France 🇫🇷
It’s bad enough that the cop expected the man to get up out of his wheelchair and walk over to the patrol car and get in it. Did he not stop and think about why he is in a wheelchair? Then puts him on the ground and uses his taser on him. God complex in action .
I guess he forgot to use his common sense?!
If I was the cop, I will not even handcuff this guy. Where can he go? No where, just call for backup and 2 person take him easily.
@@yahnglee2027, exactly! They can place him in a homeless shelter. With much regret, the Officer lost his job.
DO YOU NOT GET IT? he was a pan handler. he could walk fine. he was doing it to scam money. the small business owner asked him to leave and he refused. the cop tried to arrest him and he refused. no one stopped him from not resisting arrest. he had 6 warrants. resisting arrest leads to violence. violence leads to people getting killed. he's lucky he wasn't hurt permanently. cops are assholes. so are criminals who victimize people. dont fall for this. it all bs.
@@IMSOSICKOFITALL Cops have difficult jobs. I am a pro cop. They are risking their lives for us. We owed them a lot. All I am saying here is , the cop was supposed to call for backup and handle this man easily. I am not questioning the crimes and many warrants the man had. The cop didn't lose his job for the many warrants and crimes the man had. He lost his job for how he handled the man. All I say, if he is in the wheelchair, just call backup and handle him easily
This was sad to see one of my fellow Tampa Florida people treated like this, this man is in a wheelchair & struggling financially....he's not hurting anyone.....IF ANYTHING HE NEEDS HELP, ITS SAD, ONCE IN THE SYSTEM ITS A STIGMA THAT FOLLOWS. ITS SAD & I PRAY FOR CHANGE, PROTECTION OF OUR CHILDREN & GUIDANCE FOR OUR YOUTHS 💯❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Except he clearly needed to be in jail. He had 5 warrants for a reason
I'm so happy to see that these cops are getting fired and prosecuted
Me too!
me too it was the camera thanks to mr kodak eastman
He isn't getting prosecuted. Fired isn't prosecuted. It's getting an unemployment check.
I'm completely outrage of those 2 heartless officers for brutally tazed the guy who is handicapped. Glad those bastards out of the force and I hope other police departments won't hire their ass.
Sadly, they will get hired.
"Mr. grant is currently in prison on an unrelated case". lmao. Of course he is.
hahaha which one of the five warrants was he arrested for? haha
Exactly. Amazing how the bad guys are currently today's victims. LOL!
I think it's an addiction problem, probably started with prescription meds and now illegal drugs, happens all the time Don't think he was holding up liquor stores
@V I he's a convicted felon, who avoided court appearances. 🙄
@@Ezekiel-2517 he's such a big threat and a monster right?! That he needs to be Tasered multiple times. Look beyond the skin color and you will see a harmless man that was treated badly in this situation. You act as if he had a gun and being violent.
This officer is a lifetime rookie in life.
It's about time these cops are being held accountable for their actions!!
Is the Officer blind to see the man is in the wheelchair and proceed to use a taser on him??
Man they been held accountable for years
@@kjr4766 I want to see evidence of this.
@@kjr4766 the uprising against police brutality the last couple years is evidence that police are NOT held accountable. They're even promoted for their crimes
When I was growing up I was taught to respect police. My dad was very conservative and believed until his dying day that most cops are good people doing a difficult job. He was partly correct, but as I learned to think for myself I saw things that have convinced me that no....."most" cops are not "good people." Some are. But many, many more are narcissistic, egotistical, power-hungry assholes who do the job NOT to "serve and protect" but to wage war against civilians, who they regard as enemies and sources of revenue. I have at least a dozen experiences that support this sad, pathetic reality. I have absolutely ZERO respect for the American law enforcement system at large.
I'm sure there's cops who are okay people, but that doesn't change the fact that they are the enforcers of a bizarre satanic dystopia.
Very well stated. I grew up believing that, too. It's mentally shocking to witness. I hate that I have to teach my kids the opposite. There's not many great encounters these kids are seeing. We can try to lie to them, say they're trustworthy people yet they prove us wrong every day. How can we argue with what the kids are seeing and going thru? Social media is the worst thing to ever happen and history is on the verge of repeating itself.
Oooooh do I love you. My sentiments exactly
Not only the U.S...but here in Australia as well, most Cop's are lowlife's
don't hate the system hate the racist bigots that abuse the system.
Don’t trust the Police 👮♀️
NEVER HAVE 😡
Why is "taking it too far" in quotations?
He did. By doing that, you are implying and arguing that it was within the cops power to violate this mans right... which he did.
The cop will just get a job somewhere else. If they charge the cop with assault, then he won't be able to get another job as a cop elsewhere, because it will come up on the background check.
Correct
That Copper had no choice, HE FEARED FOR HIS LIFE, God dammit it.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
You serious?

Thank you for acknowledging wrong doing by LEO.
I wish more departments would follow this example.
Remember folks:
Multiple grown trained officers armed to the teeth can't handle an old man in a wheelchair but expect you to believe being a cop is soooo dangerous.😒😒😒
a 64 year old man.. on a wheelchair.
and you tasered him 4 times? You're lucky he didn't get a heart attack.. Smh .
Wow. No reason to treat the man that way. Unarmed, disabled & elderly....yeah sure he's a threat. Smh. Totally unacceptable. Good on the chief for getting rid of the this guy. It's officers like him that make the good ones look bad!
He's not out of a job, he's out of a job in that city but they always get hired elsewhere.
On the street begging for money and in a wheel chair it sound like he's already in his own prison.
At 65 yrs old at that
The officer was held "accountable" by being fired 😂😂😂👌
That officer still needs to be charged with assault. I believe in backing the blue but I don't believe a renegade "officer" should get away with just getting fired. He needs to be charged
You back the blue. You die by the blue
Back the blue until it happens to you.
Did he just say are you going to walk or not in a man in a wheelchair?
The cop knew wasn’t handicapped and knew he was playing people
So that makes it okay? Good you aint a cop.....
The cop didn't know he wouldnt get away with his racist antics of manhandling a nonviolent elderly man. And using a weapon on him.
“Are you gonna walk or not” like bro that man is wheelchair bound he can’t walk, dummy.
He got up an did the c walk media cut that part out
Officer:"are you gonna walk?"
(After pulling him out of a wheelchair) 🤦♂️
That ex-officer should be sitting in a prison cell being zapped every hour on the hour. To hear the sadness in his mothers voice brought tears to my eyes. For some reason police forget about deescalating verbal skills and go straight to the taser. He seriously asked if he was going to get up and walk!?!? He’s in a damn wheelchair so what do you think Nostradumass!
“Took things to far”. This cop should be in prison for ten years. Anybody else would be.
They probably didn’t like that he didn’t turn off his bodycam, that’s why they fired him.
I'm actually surprised that he actually used his taser as his first option. Most of the time they're first option to go to is their firearm so I'm surprised this guy's not Dead
True
Police are such kind and gentle people… Said absolutely no one!
The cop did not believe the man was paralyzed. He was trying to drum up another charge (like fraud). He wanted to see if he would move his legs. Vibrate ❤️Luv
This ex-cop did not have to tase this Man ! This ex- Cop wanted to tase this Man !
That was not right, that was really stupid to tase him just because he was being lazy to get off the wheel chair
Being lazy to get off the wheelchair? Huh?
I’m sure if he could’ve gotten out of the wheelchair he would’ve. People don’t have wheelchairs just because they’re “lazy.”
Glad to know the justice worked well, I salute the chief and I'm sorry that so many people had and has to suffer this incidents
I really hope I never see this because I would have to interfere in this against the cops.
0.44 The Officer::: Your gonna Walk or Not... ooooh Lord, help us Jesus, That fool Had me crying 😢😂
"You wanna stand up?" Bro he is in a damn wheelchair. Throw that cop in jail
I love the fact how at the end of the day the man in the wheelchair was still charged but he wasn't charged for the nonsense that that police officer created Amen to the black man on that force!!
