...I called The LJ Police and Mayor's office. The Police are hiding behind voice mail and would not comment. I spoke with The City Manager who clams that Officer Cagle just..."made a mistake", "that there was no collusion" between Cagle, Mendoza or Sgt. Nestosa(?)...and he said that Officer Mendoza had been "reeducated". I asked whether officer Mendoza didn't know before this incident that lying was inappropriate and illegal? I asked him if Officer Mendoza really needed such basic reeducation, then why wasn't the Police Chief disciplined or fired for failing to properly train the Police force in the first place? The City Manager couldn't respond to that, other than to say he decided not to discipline The Chief. When I asked the City Manager what Disciplinary Process had been executed for The Police Chief and the poor performance of his department, I was told The City Manager is in charge of discipline for the police and he chose not to discipline the Chief. When I asked if the City Manager was being intimidated, blackmailed or bribed to come to that conclusion I was told that "he's not afraid of The Chief". So...according to LJ City Manager, the illegal, aggressive use of force by Cagle was just a "mistake". Cagle just mistakenly created the aggression, mistakenly put his hands on the Auditor, mistakenly beat him up...(The City Manager claims no one was beat up, in spite of the Auditor needing medical treatment, and the follow-on injuries to the man's back). The City Manager claims that Cagle "made a mistake" when he sat there and lied about what went on, and that Sgt. Nestosa was "investigating" when addressing the lies and collusion between all the law enforcement people present. The City Manager also claims there was no "Collusion" to lie and create a false narrative, even though the body camera footage shows just such action. That is why nothing will ever get better in Lake Jackson. I would ask everyone who reads this to call Mr. Mobesto Mundo...The Lake Jackson City Manager and ask him why he is unwilling to discipline the corrupt police chief and the other police officers who lied about this situation. Additionally, ask him if his perception of the events are as he says, why did the city spend $102,000 of taxpayer funds to settle a case that he claims no did anything illegal...but were just mistakes. Give him a call...and see how long he has to hide behinds clerks and voicemail. I would call and demand the Mayor's resignation, the Police Chief's resignation, the resignation of every police officer involved in this debacle...and most importantly...demand the resignation of Mr. Mundo for his lack of courage in managing these lawless thugs, and his willingness to allow corruption to reign supreme in Lake Jackson. Call today, call tomorrow...keep calling until they take concrete action to address this criminal, lawless and unconstitutional conduct by these fascists. You can reach Mr. Mundo at 1-979-415-2500. If you take action, please comment on this thread about the outcome of your calls and what these criminals tell you.
@@JustinPulliam Hi Justin. No, I did not record it as I am a writer from California and I am unclear of the laws regarding the recording of phone conversations between residents of the two states. Frankly, I was shocked that he answered any of my questions, and I laughed very hard when there were multiple "pauses" as he tried to come up with answers. He was adamant that there was no lying, no collusion in creating those lies and that Cagle..."just made a mistake". When I asked why Cagle was allowed to resign and not fired or disciplined, he just kept going back to that "mistake" comment. When I referred to the $102,000 settlement, informing him that the settlement represents an admission of the illegal actions on the part of the police, and was not a mistake... The City Manager just kept saying..."Cagle made a mistake". The man just kept referring to those purposeful, illegal acts as a mistake, and that he would not discipline The Chief for not effectively "training" his force. If it weren't so important, and so necessary to challenge these criminals, the call would have been hilarious. What it showed is that no matter the corruption...they will never tell the truth until forced to do so in court. After that...they'll just spin, spin, spin. I enjoy your work, keep it up.
Can you imagine how many hundreds of citizens this happens to on a daily basis? The ones who don’t know their rights and don’t film police are basically screwed
Um, no, they will still likely try to get him... or they will set him up later. They are psychopaths, haven't figured that out by now? The entire US government is insane.

Cop would probably die if he did this to me, I'd be armed and he'd be too close to react. Go for my throat and I won't think twice, I have a zero tolerance policy on men with tiny dicks touching me.
It totally is and it's for the bystanders initially because if a cop is shouting stop resisting over & over the bystanders assume the guy is resisting (because they can't see his fingers being bent unnaturally by the cop) and neither can the body cam cuz of close proximity so it works on DAs & judges too and allows the cop to use all the force he wants to to channel his own personal anger & frustration plus he gets to add more charges because its hard to prove the guy isn't resisting since it's a natural human instinct to pull back & resist your fingers being bent backwards! Cops LOVE that maneuver so very much for all these reasons & probably a few more. It's tried & true.
We are fools for not flexing that 2A!! Misplaced mercy, aka pacifism, is basically the same as selling all our children into slavery..and giving possession over to these lying stealing murderous thugs. Gangsters in uniform, I say,"You better leave!", Whenever the police try telling me something.
@@Adroit1911 do you know the 'Remedy'? How to get out of that system?? Red pill or blue pill?, Neo. I'm still gagging on the red pill, but it's better than those GF garbage ass 'blues', is you know what I mean..
I always wondered how the reports were able to be so detailed Long after the incident. I would never remember All of that detail. "His right arm touched my left arm. Then my right arm Made contact with his left waist."😂 And I'm now realizing it's because they are allowed to watch their body Worn camera As they write their report. Aka It's available To view on scene right away
What a disgrace to the profession, the community, Mr. Reyes & his family, and the humanity. This cop should have been arrested and his law enforcement license cancelled.
I won’t agree that I’m fine with it, but I think you still bring up a very important point. The media always tries to paint police officers as the “victims” when they are in almost every situation the violent instigator. Think about how many times the media has successfully convinced everyone that the cop was the “victim”, when in reality they were the criminal. That’s exactly what happened in this situation. I can only imagine the amount of lies that goes into spreading the propaganda in a situation like you’ve described.
The thing is by the time higher authority finds out the damage has already been done and innocent people have been processed prosecuted and have a record so sad 😢 something really needs to get done now not tomorrow or in the future cops are out of control and they don't care about the public our government needs to stop this madness now 🙏 now......
HOW aggravating is it that cops say "your not allowed to take pictures/video of peoples private ... license plates" while they LITERALLY use the law to arrest ppl all the time.. they look around cars from public, run license plates, etc without permission CONSTANTLY...
@@joshfly210 Nope the plate numbers are public the private information behind them i not without pc of a crime.....They commit treason everytime they run a plate without pc of a crime......
The superior courts have already ruled on those matters and reasonable cop would know it's legal to film anything in public and what eyes can see can not be trespassed.
@@glennwall552 They'd probably just say that since police departments have fought for and won in court the right to discriminate against hiring officer candidates who score too highly on intelligence tests (yes, you read that correctly, they don't want officers to be too intelligent), and so would probably argue that their officers are believed to be reasonably stupid enough to not actually know that is a legally protected activity. "Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training. Most Cops Just Above Normal The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average. Jordan alleged his rejection from the police force was discrimination. He sued the city, saying his civil rights were violated because he was denied equal protection under the law. But the U.S. District Court found that New London had “shown a rational basis for the policy.” In a ruling dated Aug. 23, the 2nd Circuit agreed. The court said the policy might be unwise but was a rational way to reduce job turnover. Jordan has worked as a prison guard since he took the test." While, you're totally correct, I just found this to be an opportunity to once again highlight that they don't want intelligent officers. They like officers to be authoritarian thugs, preferably just smart enough to get away with violating constitutional rights.
It also shows how everyone in that department just wanted to cover this up and lie for this officer. It’s clear as day in that video that the officers ego got bruised so he initiated contact and used excessive force on a man just filming and taking. But yet they still try all this bs to try and get the officer off. These people want us to trust the police but yet they can’t even admit when an officer does wrong in a small case like this one. How can we be expected to trust them when it’s a much more serious case? We can’t. Police are 100% untrustworthy and ever word that comes out of their mouths should be considered a lie.
I’m a 71-year-old retired firefighter I’ve seen firsthand what dirty cops do and then they high-fives each other. Makes me sick to my stomach. I’m gonna pray tonight that those cops that did this to that man burn in hell Amen
When cops are willing to lie so blatantly when they know their actions are recorded then imagine how willingly they'll lie when they know cameras aren't around.
Yeah it’s even worse is smaller cities & towns. Had it happen to my husband and I on our boat in a county I didn’t even know existed plus the DNR were completely unhinged as well. Beat multiple cases from them which obviously pissed them off so they began to harass us for any & everything. The last case our point was proven on body cam they were laughing & saying “we got ‘em! Yeah just pulled em over last week but we can probably get ‘em this time” all for a fckn light violation on our boat bc our night blue light pole blew off & they immediately pulled us over it was creepy bc I actually felt like they were stalking us. Went to court and our lawyer told judge anything after this is harassment & we’ve installed cameras bc they “lost” my phone on another case. Anyways long story short they haven’t been messing with us sense & a cpl weeks ago I called & all but one has been fired/doesn’t work for them anymore…. They did other shady things but I’ll get off my soap box
To all auditors: Keep fighting the good fight! Until these public servants realize integrity and accountability are values not to be feared, you are needed. Thank you for your service.
I'm so glad to hear that Mr. Reyes prevailed. The only thing that I still want to happen is for the Officers to be charged criminally for their behavior.
And they should have to pay out the money from their own pocket. It shouldn't be the responsibility of the tax prayers, we aren't the ones that hired them or trained them
THEY NOT ONLY HAVE QUALIFIED IMMUNITY BUT WHEN THAT DOESN'T WORK THEY ARE ALLOWED TO RESIGN AND KEEP THEIR CERTS . BOTH OF THESE THINGS NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED .
@Babs Kaz Qualified Immunity does not apply to potential criminal charges. BOTH should be charged with false arrest, kidnapping, assault and battery, malfeasance of official duties.
@babskaz74 qualified immunity cannot be used for blatant crimes. Like fabricating official documents. This is deriliction of duty by the District Attorney and State Attorney.
They can't allow their authority to be challenged in any way whatsoever. That's why they will rather lie than admit to making a mistake. You can use this against them though. Next time you get pulled over give the cop your license and tell him "I'm ordering you to go write me a ticket, and next I order you to tell me to step out of the vehicle." They'd rather let you walk away with a warning than to follow someone else's orders.
This story is truly amazing. Basically LJPD tried to claim that what you saw on the video didn’t happen…..and they attempted to manufacture their own story. They actually were ‘in denial’ of the facts.
Every word that comes out of an officers mouth. All the way from the Chief of Police or the Sheriff, down to the rookie on his first day. They are trained to cover up and lie to skate accountability.
The way that cop giving his account of what happened I can bet the farm that this is not what really happened. Then they go to all their thin line gang members to get their story straight. Justin I would like to say your journalistic integrity and reporting is what we need in society today. You are the tops, awesome journalistic work.
Life is for the muderers, rapists etc. But certainly 10-15 years for lying to the judge ,false statements about reaching for a weapon et al, is s fair sentence, AND the fellow cops who lied on sworn statements should be fired immediately at the minimum. Then maybe we would see the culture of police bad behaviour change.
Justin, this is informative and enlightening. The cops and government will always protect their own at the taxpayers expense! I hope this goes viral! Great job!
Even body cams don't deter police from lying. They figure the police club won't let them down. & the DA delivered on that one by not going after the two donuts. That is scary.
These cops that feel comfortable LYING on written reports knowing there are multiple video recordings tells you all you need to know about accountability. They know they can lie and get away with it an only taxpayers will be punished.
Qualified Immunity only protects them in civil court. A crooked prosecutor is what protects them from criminal charges. People can't hold their elected officials accountable if they don't know how the system works. For some reason the public has chosen to remain wilfully ignorant. It makes completely completely incapable of doing that. Why I've even heard lying prosecutors say they'd like to do something but the cops have "Qualified Immunity" which while true has absolutely nothing to do with criminal charges but morons fall for it. Of course in this case the cops won't even have qualified Immunity because they lied. So it's even worse people fell for the lies of the prosecutor.
License plates are always out in public. If they were such private info they wouldnt be displayed in the backs & fronts of cars for the world & his mother to see!! The lies told by cops just boil my blood!! There was no finger jabbing, he was talking/gesturing with his hand which we all do!!
It was a ridiculous argument from the start! License plate info a persons private information? How dumb! If they are private why are they plastered on the back of all our cars?
It is legal (but not lawful) for the police to lie. US congress also passed laws allowing our federal government to lie as well. The corruption has been codified from top to bottom.
Because if we don't fight for OUR RIGHTS, then we won't have any rights as they will ALL be taken away. Keep on keeping on trying to hold em accountable it will happen. The tide will turn.
That's a good point and it also states the obvious... that there weren't any 'rights' to begin with... At least the ball is somehow rolling towards some type of change!
It is truly gratifying to see an outcome in favour of the citizen. What a shame the award was peanuts. A million dollars may have taught the police a lesson.
The settlement should have been for a whole LOT MORE, and it should have included the termination of each and every LEO that told a single lie that day regarding the plaintiff's actions! Every single LEO that was there should have been terminated, as part of any settlement. Just saying.... I think justice should matter!
peace officers have insurance for just such occasions. The cops should have had his qualified immunity taken and allowed the defendant to sue the cop personally
Every time I see a video like this you realize these cops have no integrity and no character. From top on down. All on scene should be financially and criminally responsible. Nice commentary from the lawyer. You rock
LEO Ego was the root cause. There is no way tyrant Cagle with over 10 years (as tyrant) in law enforcement would know somehow as fundamental as public photography (‘plain view’) and that non-LEO license plates are public info…
When citizens are up against police departments that coordinate their cover-up lies in such a well oiled manner, you're in deeper trouble than just being illegally arrested. You know then that this corruption is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Furthermore, having a lot of cop friends here in Sweden, I simply can't escape the feeling US cops are a different breed, leaving me believing they're poorly educated and simply unprofessional in general, as well as profoundly bad at de-escalating situations.
If you score high on the intelligence test, they will not hire you. They want you just smart enough to follow orders but not question them. They are not taught the laws when becoming a cop, but they are taught how to lie to the public to get information they will use against you...
They behave more like thugs w/guns & badges. It's truly frightening. Since our far far left democratic party & the brazen hostile orginizations such as antifa & blm who by the way are supported by George Soros began calling for the defunding of our police depts, rioting, burning some police stations down, many many good, decent officers were forced to retire or chg careers, in addition to the overwhelming hostile attitude from these orginizations & illiterate criminal types on the streets. Officers just werent safe anymore, anywhere. They were disgusted & fed up being treated so badly.We do not blame them. So as a result, lesser qualified, uneducated, thug, criminal types were hired. We are seeing evidence of this in so many of these vids. Let's hope & pray for a better tommorrow!! Watching from Alaska!!
The license plates being unrecordable is the funniest thing I've ever heard. They're on the outside of the vehicle to be seen in public so they can be recorded.😎
Its stuid anyway. If he would have told him he can't publish the number plate I would have been with him. Now these cops are assholes who take the whole corps down. The good ones should realize that.
Justin, as avid activists and supporters of citizen journalists, cop watchers and 1A auditors we thank you for your integrity and honest reporting. It's ironic and hypocritical when content creators who claim they champion our 1st Amendment, intentionally and willingly censor free speech. It's refreshing to see a 1A champion actually practice what they preach - thank you for having the courage to publish critical debate in comment. "Successful changes to systemic social ills often turn on a rare combination of complex cooperation and bipartisanship, however reluctant, of diverse human interaction".
Not really worried about the hands of free speech, as much as we are about what a police state reveals when they repeatedly go hands-on with excessive use of force. Whats does that signal ...
People may not know this, but RUclips automatically withholds a substantial amount of comments. When I have a moment I release the ones that won't get my channel shut down. This includes approving numerous comments per day that are criticizing or trolling me.
@@JustinPulliam Here at TAC [Transparency & Accountability Coalition] we are well aware of the the toxic platform controls manipulated with AI bots thats are designed to censor free speech. It's easy to differentiate between content creator or publishers intentional and willful overzealous censorship. Yours may not be the case, but many 1A auditors who ironically champion free speech - actively participate in censorship. True, some of these comments may be critical and unflattering, but when censorship impedes rational debate on the solutions that face our community it prohibits justice. Here, among your comments we find real debate and critical thought that's the foundation of rational expression in free speech. Without dialogue we won't see change becouse it oppressive of speech. It's one thing to experience platform censorship and another to experience wanton censorship by publishers who supposedly champion 1A. It's up to us to challenge ourselves to a higher standard than those we claim accountability. It's up to us to organize unity and it begins with free speech. Again, we thank you for your effort and actions that speak louder than words. You are appreciated.
They always want to charge you with "resisting arrest" and "obstruction of justice" or "disorderly conduct" or "failure to ID" but what did they do to get those charges to begin with because they weren't charged with anything else but those things.
I have seen this many times in the videos I have watched. the initial or underlying crime was not there. the bogus resisting arrests, disordering conduct, fail to identity, officer safety, suspicious activity, etc all happened after the police came into contact with the public. they are the catalyst or even cause for these secondary or after the fact charges. these charges take the misunderstood fact that police most of the time have no authority over the general public until the initial crime is in focus. only then, cops have legal basis to be involved.
I can’t believe that the entire police department does not know that taking photos of license plates is not illegal. They also do not know that it is not illegal to be at any scene and to take pictures as long as they are at least 10 ft away or outside of police tape. This is amazing. Someone on this staff. (The police chief) is highly lacking.
But according to the deposition given by this tyrant, he didn't care about the filming. He was only concerned about the SAFETY of this citizen at the scene of an accident. Don't forget that the citizen was only injured by the tyrants!! Back the Blue till it happens to you!
Frankly, if they are going to blatantly lie like that about an unjustified violent assault, falsify official documents, and attempt to get an innocent citizen locked up falsely... Lock those scumbags up for life. They certainly earned life imprisonment.
@@icgangthat’s not true. By law, you have no expectation of privacy while in public. That is part of how videoing and photographing in public is a constitutionally protected activity.
All these officers are corrupt and they should be fired immediately. Writing false statements and using unlawful force is illegal because of their feelings is violating the rights of citizens. All (qualified immunity)should be revoked immediately and they should be prosecuted for assault charges.
The police have gotten away with the "I thought he was reaching for something" charade for so long its the natural first tried & true go to. It was only in the minutes after saying it that Cagle remembered that Reyes' left hand was holding his phone so he had to switch to the hand on the chest theory which is often just a reversal of what actually happened cuz its easier to remember. So Cagle used his two favorite & long-standing go tos but then forgot the damn video cameras are not in on the cover-up like Mendoza was. Damn BWC's fucking up a really good plan!
I recently watched an audit and the LEO who attended the scene, after the PD was called, asked the guy with the camera "Why do you record the Police? This video is a prime example as to Why they must ALWAYS be recorded.
Every single law enforcement officer involved in this situation deserves to be in prison for life without the possibility of parole and their victim deserves to be awarded all of their pensions.
LEO's should be held to a HIGHER STANDARD than anybody else, instead of being held to a lower standard as they are now! There'in lies one of the many problems with our justice and law enforcement system today. smh!
They don’t give a shit about them been recorded. The stupid taxpayers will pay for the lawsuit. And the blue criminal will walk away without been held accountable
Wow unbelievable and frankly pretty disgusting behavior from the government Club there in Lake Jackson. They all should be fired and charged and then tried by a jury of their peers.
Their peers? Hopefully, that wouldn't include other cops. It probably wouldn't matter anyway. Qualified immunity is the security blanket for corruption.
The practice of police writing, then re-writing reports until they get the 'right' narrative seems like a fiction writing class I took at community college....
A near perfect example of corruption & just why entering a person's "space" IS ensightment to violence which should be equal to "fighting words". Also surrounding a person IS the same and should be treated as "Intent to harm".

I think cops who try and lay false charges should be charged with the crimes they tried to place on their victim.
I would add they receive maximum penalty. If the fine is $1.00 - $100.00 lying cops get $100.00 fine . 1 day -1 year in jail lying cop gets 1 year.
An eye for an eye 👍
Not to mention false arrest and imprisonment.
At least pull their certification and ban them from ever getting certified again.
Of course they should be. Unfortunately, the people that should charge them are on the same side as the Blue Line Gang.
If any Law Enforcement Officer lies then they should be fine fired and Jailed ASAP.

The Justice system, is there justice in the system or is it just us in the system 🤯
I dont think its broken, its working exactly as intended by the people in power it needs to change
We are fools for not flexing that 2A!! Misplaced mercy, aka pacifism, is basically the same as selling all our children into slavery..and giving possession over to these lying stealing murderous thugs. Gangsters in uniform, I say,"You better leave!", Whenever the police try telling me something.
@@Adroit1911 do you know the 'Remedy'? How to get out of that system?? Red pill or blue pill?, Neo. I'm still gagging on the red pill, but it's better than those GF garbage ass 'blues', is you know what I mean..
I always wondered how the reports were able to be so detailed Long after the incident. I would never remember All of that detail. "His right arm touched my left arm.
Then my right arm Made contact with his left waist."😂 And I'm now realizing it's because they are allowed to watch their body Worn camera As they write their report. Aka It's available To view on scene right away
What a disgrace to the profession, the community, Mr. Reyes & his family, and the humanity. This cop should have been arrested and his law enforcement license cancelled.
Lol. You said profession.
In this day and age, I’m perfectly fine when tyrants like this don’t make it home. For citizen safety.
Cop ignorance, egos and lies ruin lives.
I won’t agree that I’m fine with it, but I think you still bring up a very important point. The media always tries to paint police officers as the “victims” when they are in almost every situation the violent instigator. Think about how many times the media has successfully convinced everyone that the cop was the “victim”, when in reality they were the criminal. That’s exactly what happened in this situation. I can only imagine the amount of lies that goes into spreading the propaganda in a situation like you’ve described.
That makes two of us. I used to believe cops were the good guys. The truth has revealed them to be lawless lying corrupt cowards, nothing more.
Karma will get all blue American cowards..
Preach! 😄
These cops are the same Republicans who vote Republican and scream law and order but don't understand what that means. Fucking Nazis
We need our law enforcers to tell the truth in the report every time period.
The thing is by the time higher authority finds out the damage has already been done and innocent people have been processed prosecuted and have a record so sad 😢 something really needs to get done now not tomorrow or in the future cops are out of control and they don't care about the public our government needs to stop this madness now 🙏 now......
HOW aggravating is it that cops say "your not allowed to take pictures/video of peoples private ... license plates" while they LITERALLY use the law to arrest ppl all the time.. they look around cars from public, run license plates, etc without permission CONSTANTLY...
Exactly. Plain view doctrine give cops to view and run anything they see from public also gives citizens the same rights.
@@joshfly210 Nope the plate numbers are public the private information behind them i not without pc of a crime.....They commit treason everytime they run a plate without pc of a crime......
The superior courts have already ruled on those matters and reasonable cop would know it's legal to film anything in public and what eyes can see can not be trespassed.
Truly disgusting!🤮👎🏼 11:41 Imagine what we'd catch if we used incognito recording devices 🤔
@@glennwall552 They'd probably just say that since police departments have fought for and won in court the right to discriminate against hiring officer candidates who score too highly on intelligence tests (yes, you read that correctly, they don't want officers to be too intelligent), and so would probably argue that their officers are believed to be reasonably stupid enough to not actually know that is a legally protected activity.
"Jordan, a 49-year-old college graduate, took the exam in 1996 and scored 33 points, the equivalent of an IQ of 125. But New London police interviewed only candidates who scored 20 to 27, on the theory that those who scored too high could get bored with police work and leave soon after undergoing costly training.
Most Cops Just Above Normal The average score nationally for police officers is 21 to 22, the equivalent of an IQ of 104, or just a little above average.
Jordan alleged his rejection from the police force was discrimination. He sued the city, saying his civil rights were violated because he was denied equal protection under the law.
But the U.S. District Court found that New London had “shown a rational basis for the policy.” In a ruling dated Aug. 23, the 2nd Circuit agreed. The court said the policy might be unwise but was a rational way to reduce job turnover.
Jordan has worked as a prison guard since he took the test."
While, you're totally correct, I just found this to be an opportunity to once again highlight that they don't want intelligent officers. They like officers to be authoritarian thugs, preferably just smart enough to get away with violating constitutional rights.
The extra charges show retaliation and desperation. Excellent journalism
It also shows how everyone in that department just wanted to cover this up and lie for this officer. It’s clear as day in that video that the officers ego got bruised so he initiated contact and used excessive force on a man just filming and taking. But yet they still try all this bs to try and get the officer off.
These people want us to trust the police but yet they can’t even admit when an officer does wrong in a small case like this one. How can we be expected to trust them when it’s a much more serious case? We can’t. Police are 100% untrustworthy and ever word that comes out of their mouths should be considered a lie.
ZERO cood cops in this country. NOT A SINGLE GOOD MAN. Theyre all tyrant boots. They all have commited crimes against the US citizenry
Until the uniformed thugs start going to jail for their criminal acts this will never stop. Their lies are obvious
Thanks!
I’m a 71-year-old retired firefighter I’ve seen firsthand what dirty cops do and then they high-fives each other. Makes me sick to my stomach. I’m gonna pray tonight that those cops that did this to that man burn in hell Amen
Amen
How many times did you report all that crime and corruption you saw first hand?
30 year firefighter. I see police violate people's rights all the time.
@@Blgtn43 should gives you a sick feeling doesn’t it?
@@JohnJohnson-pq4qz most of the time I only saw the aftermath
When cops are willing to lie so blatantly when they know their actions are recorded then imagine how willingly they'll lie when they know cameras aren't around.
Proving that they can't be trusted. They should be placed on desk duty indefinitely.
They are paid LAIRS.
Yeah it’s even worse is smaller cities & towns. Had it happen to my husband and I on our boat in a county I didn’t even know existed plus the DNR were completely unhinged as well. Beat multiple cases from them which obviously pissed them off so they began to harass us for any & everything. The last case our point was proven on body cam they were laughing & saying “we got ‘em! Yeah just pulled em over last week but we can probably get ‘em this time” all for a fckn light violation on our boat bc our night blue light pole blew off & they immediately pulled us over it was creepy bc I actually felt like they were stalking us. Went to court and our lawyer told judge anything after this is harassment & we’ve installed cameras bc they “lost” my phone on another case. Anyways long story short they haven’t been messing with us sense & a cpl weeks ago I called & all but one has been fired/doesn’t work for them anymore….
They did other shady things but I’ll get off my soap box
Maybe we should no longer arm officers. It seems to be both a danger to the officer and to the public.
At least ya'll can imagine that black people haven't been lying all these years!!
Are you a proficient liar? Yes? WELCOME TO THE FORCE!
They obviously don’t even have to be proficient. Lol. Just being a liar will get you a badge.
To all auditors: Keep fighting the good fight! Until these public servants realize integrity and accountability are values not to be feared, you are needed. Thank you for your service.
I'm so glad to hear that Mr. Reyes prevailed. The only thing that I still want to happen is for the Officers to be charged criminally for their behavior.
And they should have to pay out the money from their own pocket. It shouldn't be the responsibility of the tax prayers, we aren't the ones that hired them or trained them
Yes, that would be nice.
Indeed. There was nothing necessary or legal about this incident and it amounted to a kidnapping plus other serious crimes.
DA will never do it.
DA will never do it.
This is why cops should not be allowed to stop or mute their cams at all. They can always blur or mute sensitive information after it has been viewed.
To me, muting a camera is obstruction of justice in many instances.
@@wallebo I agree 💯 %
@@Standing_Wolf Thanks.
They should be charged with tampering with evidence!
It should be a Ist class felony to delete, mute, or turn off body cam.
It's time for cops to take accountability and have it come out of their pay not the taxpayer

As a taxpayer who pays these lawsuits, it’s outrageous and needs to be addressed. Qualified immunity is unjust to all taxpayers.
I agree 100%
You would not believe how many people are in jail because of malicious prosecution.
I would...this is america after all ...the greatest hypocrisy in the history of the world..
And total fabrication
Thousand are incarcerated because of dishonest cops. FU
No I'd believe it
contempt of cop
THEY NOT ONLY HAVE QUALIFIED IMMUNITY BUT WHEN THAT DOESN'T WORK THEY ARE ALLOWED TO RESIGN AND KEEP THEIR CERTS . BOTH OF THESE THINGS NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED .
I hope there are local people who will recognize this cop and do the right thing
These officers have committed perjury multiple times. Why are they not being charged?
@Babs Kaz Qualified Immunity does not apply to potential criminal charges.
BOTH should be charged with false arrest, kidnapping, assault and battery, malfeasance of official duties.
@babskaz74 qualified immunity cannot be used for blatant crimes. Like fabricating official documents. This is deriliction of duty by the District Attorney and State Attorney.
They will get suspended and reprimanded for not lying well enough and getting caught
Great question!!!!! But we'll never see the end result!!! IT'S TEXAS!!!!!!
It's all about control isn't it. How dare anyone tell a cop no.
They can't handle being told no.
They can't allow their authority to be challenged in any way whatsoever. That's why they will rather lie than admit to making a mistake. You can use this against them though. Next time you get pulled over give the cop your license and tell him "I'm ordering you to go write me a ticket, and next I order you to tell me to step out of the vehicle." They'd rather let you walk away with a warning than to follow someone else's orders.
Good work Justin. You make the police look extra stupid. It's your talent lol
I think the police do a fine job of making themselves look stupid.🤣😂✌️
I don't think he makes them look stupid. I think he just documents then being stupid on their own video device
Justin’s like a ginger superhero, that bust police corruption. 👍🇺🇸
Sorry cops dont need much help to be honest sorry justin
They do that to themselves. Justin is great at narration of the action though.
Not once. NOT ONCE did any cop correct this corrupt cop, about filming license plates. Unreal.
This story is truly amazing. Basically LJPD tried to claim that what you saw on the video didn’t happen…..and they attempted to manufacture their own story. They actually were ‘in denial’ of the facts.
They are so dumb they actually gaslighted themselves into believing their own lives 😂
so they were 'cops'
Criminals

Every word that comes out of an officers mouth. All the way from the Chief of Police or the Sheriff, down to the rookie on his first day. They are trained to cover up and lie to skate accountability.
Cagle: Come on don't believe your lying eyes, just listen to what I'm telling you.
They were not in denial. They were lying to stay out of trouble and a lawsuit.
Thanks for shedding light on the bad officers in Lake Jackson, TX. This experience has changed the way I look at the Blue Line.

Hope you are okay my friend….God bless you and thanks for standing your ground…..
The fact that they're allowed to tell 17 different stories and still be believed is why there's only one response to our "justice" system. FDP
No words for liars with guns
100% best commentary and illustration and presentation of the facts in this case.
Back your cop buddy no matter how wrong they are. Ridiculous.
Very true, and that’s why there are never any good cops
because if you dont they retaliate against you.
Same thing in all gangs. Thin Blue Line = La Cosa Nostra, MS-13, Bloods and Crips.
who else is afraid of cameras.....Criminals. lol
The way that cop giving his account of what happened I can bet the farm that this is not what really happened. Then they go to all their thin line gang members to get their story straight. Justin I would like to say your journalistic integrity and reporting is what we need in society today. You are the tops, awesome journalistic work.
Haven't heard bet the farm in a minute. Warmed my soul❤
In the first 30 seconds you can actually see on body cam the cop shoves the guy in the chest first.
Those tyrants need to go to jail for life .
Life is for the muderers, rapists etc. But certainly 10-15 years for lying to the judge ,false statements about reaching for a weapon et al, is s fair sentence, AND the fellow cops who lied on sworn statements should be fired immediately at the minimum. Then maybe we would see the culture of police bad behaviour change.

Justin, this is informative and enlightening. The cops and government will always protect their own at the taxpayers expense! I hope this goes viral! Great job!
Apparently, ignorance of the law is no excuse - unless you paid to enforce it.
If you can't lie you can't be a cop these days
Why do you call them cops. Very clearly their organized crimes
In NYC, the cop's laugh about what they call this: Testilying.
If you're IQ is to high you can't be a pig either
Even body cams don't deter police from lying. They figure the police club won't let them down. & the DA delivered on that one by not going after the two donuts. That is scary.
It's what happens when I have blue line DNA...
"I moved forward to tell him to back up." Enough said.
These cops that feel comfortable LYING on written reports knowing there are multiple video recordings tells you all you need to know about accountability. They know they can lie and get away with it an only taxpayers will be punished.
That qualified immunity is one hell of a drug.
Qualified Immunity only protects them in civil court. A crooked prosecutor is what protects them from criminal charges.
People can't hold their elected officials accountable if they don't know how the system works. For some reason the public has chosen to remain wilfully ignorant. It makes completely completely incapable of doing that.
Why I've even heard lying prosecutors say they'd like to do something but the cops have "Qualified Immunity" which while true has absolutely nothing to do with criminal charges but morons fall for it.
Of course in this case the cops won't even have qualified Immunity because they lied. So it's even worse people fell for the lies of the prosecutor.
integrity...
Excellent news! Hold them accountable!!
License plates are always out in public. If they were such private info they wouldnt be displayed in the backs & fronts of cars for the world & his mother to see!! The lies told by cops just boil my blood!! There was no finger jabbing, he was talking/gesturing with his hand which we all do!!
It was a ridiculous argument from the start! License plate info a persons private information? How dumb! If they are private why are they plastered on the back of all our cars?
True ! What is the first thing the authorities ask you if you witness an accident?! "Were you able to get the license plate number? LOL
It is legal (but not lawful) for the police to lie. US congress also passed laws allowing our federal government to lie as well. The corruption has been codified from top to bottom.
Cops are so pumped up on bloodlust they forget they're even wearing cameras
Without a camera for documentation, judges CAN NOT take officers word for it over a citizen. That has to stop yesterday.
Judges are as shitty as the cops.
Any lying on a Report should result in criminal charges and instant dismissal
Its a Beautiful thing seeing Dirty Public Servants being held accountable. 🎥📽️
If only public amenity was abolished then they would have to pay the law suits. Don’t they know that people do this for the lawsuit
What a great job you did explaining the travesty.
I commend you on your reporting style. Very professionally done. Keep bringing these injustices to light!
If these cops aren't held accountable, then why fight for our rights?
Because then they will never be held accountable.
Because if we don't fight for OUR RIGHTS, then we won't have any rights as they will ALL be taken away. Keep on keeping on trying to hold em accountable it will happen. The tide will turn.
That's a good point and it also states the obvious... that there weren't any 'rights' to begin with...
At least the ball is somehow rolling towards some type of change!
We dont fight because we expect to win a reward in the end. We fight because it's the right thing to do
Agree %%% 😢😢😢
It is truly gratifying to see an outcome in favour of the citizen. What a shame the award was peanuts. A million dollars may have taught the police a lesson.

peace officers have insurance for just such occasions. The cops should have had his qualified immunity taken and allowed the defendant to sue the cop personally

LEO Ego was the root cause. There is no way tyrant Cagle with over 10 years (as tyrant) in law enforcement would know somehow as fundamental as public photography (‘plain view’) and that non-LEO license plates are public info…
When citizens are up against police departments that coordinate their cover-up lies in such a well oiled manner, you're in deeper trouble than just being illegally arrested. You know then that this corruption is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Furthermore, having a lot of cop friends here in Sweden, I simply can't escape the feeling US cops are a different breed, leaving me believing they're poorly educated and simply unprofessional in general, as well as profoundly bad at de-escalating situations.
If you score high on the intelligence test, they will not hire you. They want you just smart enough to follow orders but not question them. They are not taught the laws when becoming a cop, but they are taught how to lie to the public to get information they will use against you...
They behave more like thugs w/guns & badges.
It's truly frightening.
Since our far far left democratic party & the brazen hostile orginizations such as antifa & blm who by the way are supported by George Soros began calling for the defunding of our police depts, rioting, burning some police stations down, many many good, decent officers were forced to retire or chg careers, in addition to the overwhelming hostile attitude from these orginizations & illiterate criminal types on the streets. Officers just werent safe anymore, anywhere. They were disgusted & fed up being treated so badly.We do not blame them. So as a result, lesser qualified, uneducated, thug, criminal types were hired.
We are seeing evidence of this in so many of these vids. Let's hope & pray for a better tommorrow!!
Watching from Alaska!!
Police reports often sound like childrens books
It all depends on what state/county/city you're in.
They ( U.S.) cops sux at everything, known locally as The Blue Line Gang.
The license plates being unrecordable is the funniest thing I've ever heard. They're on the outside of the vehicle to be seen in public so they can be recorded.😎
Its stuid anyway. If he would have told him he can't publish the number plate I would have been with him. Now these cops are assholes who take the whole corps down. The good ones should realize that.
Notice in the COPS version, the COPS are always polite and respectful.
Justin, as avid activists and supporters of citizen journalists, cop watchers and 1A auditors we thank you for your integrity and honest reporting. It's ironic and hypocritical when content creators who claim they champion our 1st Amendment, intentionally and willingly censor free speech. It's refreshing to see a 1A champion actually practice what they preach - thank you for having the courage to publish critical debate in comment. "Successful changes to systemic social ills often turn on a rare combination of complex cooperation and bipartisanship, however reluctant, of diverse human interaction".
I’m a fan of what Justin is doing too but not a fan of what his hand signals are revealing.
Not really worried about the hands of free speech, as much as we are about what a police state reveals when they repeatedly go hands-on with excessive use of force. Whats does that signal ...
People may not know this, but RUclips automatically withholds a substantial amount of comments. When I have a moment I release the ones that won't get my channel shut down. This includes approving numerous comments per day that are criticizing or trolling me.
@@JustinPulliam Here at TAC [Transparency & Accountability Coalition] we are well aware of the the toxic platform controls manipulated with AI bots thats are designed to censor free speech. It's easy to differentiate between content creator or publishers intentional and willful overzealous censorship. Yours may not be the case, but many 1A auditors who ironically champion free speech - actively participate in censorship. True, some of these comments may be critical and unflattering, but when censorship impedes rational debate on the solutions that face our community it prohibits justice. Here, among your comments we find real debate and critical thought that's the foundation of rational expression in free speech. Without dialogue we won't see change becouse it oppressive of speech. It's one thing to experience platform censorship and another to experience wanton censorship by publishers who supposedly champion 1A. It's up to us to challenge ourselves to a higher standard than those we claim accountability. It's up to us to organize unity and it begins with free speech. Again, we thank you for your effort and actions that speak louder than words. You are appreciated.
They always want to charge you with "resisting arrest" and "obstruction of justice" or "disorderly conduct" or "failure to ID" but what did they do to get those charges to begin with because they weren't charged with anything else but those things.
MICHAEL CONTEMPT OF COP!
That's the scam
I have seen this many times in the videos I have watched. the initial or underlying crime was not there. the bogus resisting arrests, disordering conduct, fail to identity, officer safety, suspicious activity, etc all happened after the police came into contact with the public. they are the catalyst or even cause for these secondary or after the fact charges. these charges take the misunderstood fact that police most of the time have no authority over the general public until the initial crime is in focus. only then, cops have legal basis to be involved.
Cops shouldn't be allowed to resign while under criminal charges
Name and shame the lawyers defending the perpetrator!
You can not shame them
No everyone deserves a lawyer, and he's gonna need one.
They can't twist this, only the justice system will be able to pervert this.
Ever heard of a SEARCH ENGINE? They are the lawyers serving as municipal legal council, thus readily identifiable.
The bodycam audio is always so clear when a citizen is speaking, but mysteriously gets muffled when an officer is speaking!
I can’t believe that the entire police department does not know that taking photos of license plates is not illegal. They also do not know that it is not illegal to be at any scene and to take pictures as long as they are at least 10 ft away or outside of police tape. This is amazing. Someone on this staff. (The police chief) is highly lacking.
But according to the deposition given by this tyrant, he didn't care about the filming. He was only concerned about the SAFETY of this citizen at the scene of an accident. Don't forget that the citizen was only injured by the tyrants!! Back the Blue till it happens to you!
they know, they don't care
I was about to comment the same exact thing.
I hope no one tells them about dash cams ...
I mean it's not like it's on the back of the car. They can run your shit for literally no reason.
The cop trying to look 4:46 so innocent, like a virgin for the very first time...hahaha. I thought he was going to cry too..
Double penalties for those in whom we place or trust, and then break the law.
Frankly, if they are going to blatantly lie like that about an unjustified violent assault, falsify official documents, and attempt to get an innocent citizen locked up falsely...
Lock those scumbags up for life. They certainly earned life imprisonment.
If a person is in public they don't have privacy.

You do excellent reporting & produce quality videos Justin. Thanks for exposing dirty cops/politicians.
All these officers are corrupt and they should be fired immediately. Writing false statements and using unlawful force is illegal because of their feelings is violating the rights of citizens. All (qualified immunity)should be revoked immediately and they should be prosecuted for assault charges.
The police have gotten away with the "I thought he was reaching for something" charade for so long its the natural first tried & true go to. It was only in the minutes after saying it that Cagle remembered that Reyes' left hand was holding his phone so he had to switch to the hand on the chest theory which is often just a reversal of what actually happened cuz its easier to remember. So Cagle used his two favorite & long-standing go tos but then forgot the damn video cameras are not in on the cover-up like Mendoza was. Damn BWC's fucking up a really good plan!
Love your stuff Brother!!!! Keep us informed!!! I'm glad you take our rights so seriously!!!!!
So, all cops involved in this and the cover-up, should be fired and face conspiracy charges. DOJ needs to get involved.
Why would a cop think a licence plate it private information? It's always on display for all to see. That's the whole point.
I recently watched an audit and the LEO who attended the scene, after the PD was called, asked the guy with the camera "Why do you record the Police? This video is a prime example as to Why they must ALWAYS be recorded.
Every single law enforcement officer involved in this situation deserves to be in prison for life without the possibility of parole and their victim deserves to be awarded all of their pensions.
LEO's should be held to a HIGHER STANDARD than anybody else, instead of being held to a lower standard as they are now! There'in lies one of the many problems with our justice and law enforcement system today. smh!
It's mind boggling how they will lie knowing full well that their cameras are recording.
They know they won't get in trouble. They are trained to lie and be deceptive, plus they have QI
They don’t give a shit about them been recorded. The stupid taxpayers will pay for the lawsuit. And the blue criminal will walk away without been held accountable
Why is the cop not charged with filing a false report?
They cant even remember their lies.
Appreciate your work, Justin. Good to see you.

It's a shame those corrupt cops didn't have to pay out of their own pockets.
Great coverage
This is living in a state of terror .
Wow unbelievable and frankly pretty disgusting behavior from the government Club there in Lake Jackson. They all should be fired and charged and then tried by a jury of their peers.
Their peers? Hopefully, that wouldn't include other cops. It probably wouldn't matter anyway. Qualified immunity is the security blanket for corruption.

Well done Justin. Great "real" journalism.
It makes no difference why he wanted to remove him from the scene. He had no legal authority to remove him so everything after that is unlawful.
FACT!
The courts have even ruled that cops are not responsible for our safety, so that won’t wash. Plus, Uvalde proved it.
unlawful and awful.
What scene, the other officer made it clear the scene was over, there was no longer any scene.
Once again, fabulous job Justin! You’re no doubt a thorn in Tyrants toes!! Great reporting
What a hero. He never said any of that. Just wow. The lies make my blood boil.
And then you wonder why there are so many people in jail for crimes they never committed.
Many people get caught in the system this way
The practice of police writing, then re-writing reports until they get the 'right' narrative seems like a fiction writing class I took at community college....
If I’m not part of the accident scene? I have to leave? No witnesses!
A near perfect example of corruption & just why entering a person's "space" IS ensightment to violence which should be equal to "fighting words". Also surrounding a person IS the same and should be treated as "Intent to harm".

The ignorance of the law and outright lying is astonishing, but not surprising. The corruption appears to be systemic in the LJPD.
If it’s lies u want go to any church hahahahhaha hilarious
They're willing to put an innocent citizen in jail to avoid liability... disgusting.
