I would imagine that if the police arrest the employee whose job is to man the register of a store that would result in the store being unattended. That means anyone can get gas or pick up random items without paying for it because there's no one to stop them from stealing. In this way we can be absolutely sure that the police were causing crime.
Fuvk yea the owner could've just let early go simply bc it makes the business look bad to customers.. but that store owner is the boss.. and that position fits him best!
I have a lot of respect for the stores owner, clearly he values a hard working employee, and possibly knows that the police in that area are corrupt & just wants to make sure that not only his employees are safe from constant police interrogation but also customers are safe from the police. It's ironic how the "Serve & Protect" people in this particular situation are doing the complete opposite to what they're meant to do, protection from the police because the police are harassing people......it is ridiculous that such a situation can occur.

I can't imagine they were getting convictions (since he wasn't trespassing), *so how did NOBODY question the dozens of dismissed cases against the same person???*
And how do you even arrest someone for trespassing when nobody involved with the business is telling them that he's trespassing? They just rock up and decide for themselves that he's not allowed to be there? There should either be other staff there who can vouch for him or a telling lack of any other workers that would confirm his claim that HE is the worker.

Hahaha 😂🤣, I'm imagining that happen as the camera is rolling and he was still talking. Police: Earl, it's time to go back where you belong. Earl: Oh man, not again. I'm still not finish with the interview. 🤣😂
@ When you get 54 instances, considering the time it takes to report, observe, investigate, arrest, detain, and release someone, it doesn't matter so much how long the interview is.
Even more reason that police immunity should be removed. This should be an IA investigate the officer involved be fired and charged with harassment. The police chief also need to lose his job.
Think about how much money he spent bonding out, dealing with fines, or even court costs for every instance he was arrested. That is for sure something to look into because all that adds up. Not sure how much he has paid, but this feels like it's being done to drain his bank account.
Update: This video is five years old. The camera footage and media exposure has caused this harassment of Earl to stop, but not a single police officer was ever held accountable for any of it.
Im surprised Earl hasnt sued the police department for wrongful arrest/harassment. With so many counts he’d probably be able to quit his job and retire on the damages!
You know that Earl knows that he only has to lift his eyebrow wrong and the police will probably shoot him because he posed a “credible threat” to their lives - or, more accurately, their egos.
@@carloscardenas2598 I know. Poor Earl. It's as is this should be a satire or some kind of joke except it's real life. The police department should be ashamed and embarrassed over this.
It should also be noted: even though the cameras were only installed in 2011/2012, the owner has been by Earl’s side, fighting for him from the very beginning. He’d known Earl since he was 14, and knew he was an upstanding guy. He’d tried multiple times to report the injustice for multiple individuals targeted, but was only met with harsher profiling. What’s worse for Earl, he ultimately had to plead guilty to all the trespassing charges… in order to get out of jail… for something which was literally proven to be an abuse of the system. His record was expunged later on, but that’s not even close to the point.
@@nicomoreno5028 agreed. It happens far more than people like to believe. I’m tired of people being in denial and acting like police are second to god. They’re humans, and the vast majority of them either have terrible training, or they choose not to follow it.

In some towns they've past laws allowing them too 😒 legit in some states and towns police don't need owners to trespass infact you could even have the owners permission and they still can
He and others did. The city reached a settlement, and none of the officers in the lawsuit were punished in the slightest except for one that sided with the plaintiffs.
Keep suing! Until it's his full-time job! Until the town has to discorporate because there's no more money, and every tax dollar goes straight to Earl. And the police force, to the last man, dies of hunger under a bridge.
If he was getting arrested once a week there's no way it was a new officer every time. Feels like they were trying to slowly break him down, trying to get him to react violently. No idea why they were targetting him specifically, maybe the officers had some vendetta against him.
They weren't arresting him every week... the attorney said if you broke it down on average it would be once a week for the last 4 years when you totally all the arrests and pick ups etc...
@@victordali2404 still, the total amounts to once a week. So what? sometimes they gave him a break for a month or so and then did 5 in one week? No matter which way we split it it's crazy.

Its just "Modern Slavery". After the civil war, the southern states & Northern States knew that the south couldn't survive without the benefit of slaves. So the north basically looked away as the southern states found loopholes to give them power to maintain a control on minorities to ensure that they could keep black people enslaved even after the civil war. By instituting various laws that would be almost solely used on black people to ensure that they could not escape the slave states and be in return imprisoned by these new pig laws, such as * Riding a train is illegal while black. * Walking next to the railroad while black is illegal. * Riding a horse is illegal. * Leaving a job without completing it regardless of pay or not, is illegal. * Seeking a new job without the permission of the old job boss, is illegal. * Not having a job is illegal. * Loitering while black is illegal. * Testifying against a white is illegal. They essentially created so many asinine bullshit laws that ended up re-enslaving thousands of black people. People who wanted to escape these slave states were caught by the POLICE and then locked up, then laws allowed the police to send prisoners out for "work-programs" at plantations. [source 01.](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Codes_\(United_States\)) Be it Blacks, Native Americans, Irish, Mexicans, labor-union organizers and even "white foreigners", the police were not developed/formalized to protect them, but to protect the properties of the ruling class. To utilize the police to subjugate and control minorities. [Source 02.](time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/) Black people were brought to do the textile work in the north and the agricultural work in the south. The north utilized the police to stop any union forming, to maintain and protect the properties and products of the ruling class. While in the south the police were utilized as slave-patrols. Where they were predominantly used against black people to capture and imprison any "non-owned" black people who wished to run away from slave states or leave slavery. The south essentially were the first to socialize slavery in a sense. Because now they didn't need to pay for feeding, maintaining and housing slaves anymore. The police and state would handle that. This basic system of "slavery" has continued to this day. Imprisoned slavery. The prison industrial complex has multiple facets to it and multiple agencies that support it for their own benefits. * **You have the private prison corporations.** These guys are making bank right now, they were losing ground under Obama, but with Trump and the concentration camps in the south, [Source 03.](www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/border-facilities/593239/) they are making money like never before. During 2014-2017 Private prisons cost the US tax payer 2-4 billion over 3-4 years. During 2018 it cost 5 Billion USD. Private Prisons are paid 750 USD per CHILD they hold in the south. One facility can hold up to 3,500 kids, thats about 2.4M USD per day. [Source 04.](www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-children/first-stop-for-migrant-kids-for-profit-detention-center-idUSKCN1Q3261) There are 110+ private prisons in the US. They also own A LOT of "after-prison" programs. Were talking AA, Narcotics programs, halfway homes, mandated prison programs, prison clothes, prison food and equipment. So the incentive for them to maintain a high prison population is HIGH. * **You have the politicians.** Nixon was perhaps the one who really sealed the deal with regards to societal portrayal of police and black communities. Nixon domestic advisor was proud to announce publicly that they were lying about drugs in black neighborhoods so that they could police black neighborhoods and arrest and beat their leaderships and disrupt any organization and collective power building that those minority groups could achieve. This guy gleefully stated that they would DELIBERATELY portray black people as heroin and drug abusers thugs and gangsters to align white people with republican ideologies. [Source 05.](www.cnn.com/2016/03/23/politics/john-ehrlichman-richard-nixon-drug-war-blacks-hippie/index.html) This association lead to loss of social programs and tax money going from helping communities grow to policing communities to remain the same. Throughout the generations afterwards the association of Black people and Drug abuse was hand in hand. Reagonimcs and crack cocaine sealed the deal as FOR-PROFIT 24 Hours News came about lambasting and supporting republican ideologies by misrepresenting issues of black communities from specific perspectives. During Reagan’s last year in office the African American poverty rate stood at 31.6%, as opposed to 10.1% for whites. Black unemployment remained double that of whites throughout the decade. By 1990, the median income for black families was $21,423, 42% below white households. [Source 06.](www.pewsocialtrends.org/2016/06/27/1-demographic-trends-and-economic-well-being/) This lead to a feedback loop, where politicians would come in, use the medias portrayal of crime as justification to give less in social programs which lead to more people having to rely on criminal behaviors to sustain themselves, which lead to further increased policing and further loss of social programs and loss of local opportunities etc etc. The republican party deliberately wants to under-fund minority communities so to maintain their talking points. So the incentive for republicans and certain politicians and judges and DAs to come out and stand against crime and support the police is HIGH. * **You have the Police Union Leaders & Corrupt Cops.** Being a cop is a lucrative opportunity if wanted. Some cops can get up to 250k with overtime in a year. [Source 07](www.nj.com/somerset/2019/11/4-cops-in-this-nj-town-earned-250k-last-year-heres-how-they-gamed-the-system.html). They have no incentive to change. They dont want to change. Because this system rewards them. If there is lack of decrease of crime, then there will be an decrease of funding for the police. There will be limits to Overtime a officer can charge. There will be limits to the equipment and tools that police can purchase and where they can purchase from. There will be a lack of available positions and lead to downsizing if there is a decrease of criminal behavior. Union leaders know they get cushy pensions and fat checks. They have no incentive to change things. They scratched and clawed their way up and took the position from the previous corrupt cop. There is no way they will change the way they do things. Union leaders have such a hold on community politicians to the degree the politicians fear going against them. The system is designed to keep people enslaved to benefit a select few. It will continue to remain like that unless the people DEMAND the change. Because the empty promises, the logo change, the corporations sending out email newsletters, is NOT CHANGE. Its attempts to tell people to calm down and go back to their places.
Because how many people would care about a random black man getting harassed over hundred of times? If not for Mr. George, who would pay as much attention to these incidents? Plus, this matter is considered settled too.
Scenario 1: “Earl you have to stop trespassing.” “But I work here!” “That’s it. No talking back. You are under arrest” *Earl gets arrested* Scenario 2: “Earl you have to stop trespassing.” *says nothing* “Nothing to say, do you? Well, I’m sure you would feel more comfortable explaining down at the station.” *Earl gets arrested* Sadly, this sounds like exactly what must be happening.

Police: “ see you next time Earl” Earl: “please arrest me after the lakers game, I wanna see Lebron play” Police: “8:00 PM sound good?” Earl: “yeah aight”
Cop: Same slow tender pat down, no homo mate. I just want to make sure you are not carrying any weapons inside your pants. Just need a good feel to make sure I'm not missing anything.
"Zero tolerance" (for black people, even when they're not engaged in unlawful activity). A "high crime area" doesn't mean that people no longer have constitutional rights. Law enforcement officers are supposed to have at least a reasonable articulable suspicion that someone was engaged in unlawful activity, in order to detain them at all. And they're supposed to have probable cause to support searches, seizures, and arrests.
Or put another way: The police are spending so much time arresting and releasing Earl, they don’t have enough manpower to address actual crimes. I would fire every police officer, except for the first one to arrest Earl, unless they arrested him later as well.
They wanted him to get mad at least once so they could have a reason to shoot a black man. And everyone would have said, "He should have complied." 258 stops. 100 searches and 56 arrests. Comply.
*How was this allowed to happen 56 times over the span of 4 years before action was taken??? They falsely arrested him once a month for 4 consecutive years!!! Doesn't this department have ANY oversight, or is the whole chain-of-command corrupt???* You'd think that after the 4th or 5th case against him was thrown out, *the courts would have started questioning why the cops keep bringing bogus Trespassing charges against the same guy...*
As Mr. Bumble, in Charles Dicken's novel "Oliver Twist" said "The law is a (sic) ass"" Ass in England means donkey or idiot. Thus, there is no logic in lots of police actions. In England we have "law" but it surely doesn't equate to "justice"....NWA!!
Story gets more messed up. They finally start an investigation based on Earl, a cop breaks lines and signs an affidavit swearing that superiors (most notably Maj. Anthony Chapman) instructed them to target black men ages 15-30, and the results? You guessed it, nothing. Oh, there was one cop fired, the one that signed the affidavit.
@@michasokoowski6651I really hope you mean "perpetual motion" because what the fu@$ even is perpetum mobile....sounds like a cell phone plan you sign up for once and pay for for the rest of your life....
@@Astraeus.. Ah right, its a "perpetuum mobile", not "perpetum mobile". My bad. And perpetuum mobile is a commonly used to describe a device that exhibits perpetual motion.
It's probably a racist citizen who doesn't like Earl who keeps calling police when he sees him. (And keep in mind police have an obligation to come check if they judge it could be a dangerous situation)
Momo...no one is calling in. The police aren't answering calls. They've targeted one young man and they harassing him for no legal reason. They have no excuse and no one to blame but the police. Here's the kicker...the Police are funded by local taxes. Taxpayers are paying for these police to keep harassing him...for four years. If I lived there I'd want those police fired! They're costing taxpayers too much.
I remember when I got a new car, my record was 13 times pulled over in 1 year (2016). People really don't believe cops love harassing black people. I remember I got pulled over with my white friend at night. Cops drove up besides me, got behind me, pulled me over and said he pulled me over for tinted windows 🤣🤣... I DON'T HAVE TINTED WINDOWS LMAO. Its wild being black...try being black and having nice car. They'll think you stole it. Been pulled over few times and questioned how I got my money smh. But staying ignorant helps some white folks feel like we don't have police issue
@@Tunechi65 you are completely correct! I believe it’s actually a much bigger issue that this, too. If looked at nationally, try being poor (black, hispanic, asian, native american, and believe it or not, white) and getting away with it. The police protect and serve those in power and little else. In fact, the supreme court actually decided in 1989 that the police are not required to protect any of us at all.
Cop: Where do I file this? In the E section? Sergeant: No. In the Earl filing cabinet. Cop: Where is the Earl filing cabinet? Sergeant: In the Earl building.
@@grosbeak2007 then when they reduce enforcement in the area, and someone is killed in the store, they're called racist for not doing enough to stop Earl, I mean crime.
I don't get it either. There is no way every police officer there does not know him by face after all this. They should also be well aware that he works there and is not doing anything criminal. Seems like they are specifically fucking with him, like he fucked the police chiefs wife or something.
For anyone curious regarding the outcome: Earl Sampson filed a lawsuit in 2013. The police chief resigned a month later, but claimed it was unrelated. Earl's federal civil rights lawsuit was settled in 2015 for an undisclosed amount. No officer was penalized for the incident, except for Jose Rosado who was fired for siding with Earl against his employer in the suit. Jose's subsequent wrongful termination lawsuit was unsuccessful.
If this was not racial profiling and intencial retaliatory behavior and these officers should be fired. High crime does not justify them violating peoples rights unlawfully.
"A high crime area"
Yeah a lot of crimes happens because the police were too busy arresting and detaining Sampson.
Plot twist: All that crime data was just from what cops file from Earl
High crime area, BECAUSE of the police
The store was robbed no less than 25 times while they were arresting Earl, the person watching the store.
I would imagine that if the police arrest the employee whose job is to man the register of a store that would result in the store being unattended. That means anyone can get gas or pick up random items without paying for it because there's no one to stop them from stealing.

"Aw damn, look at this pothole! Earl's been vandalizing government property again! Better release him so we can arrest him again."
Credit to the store owner that didn't fire Earl to stop this but instead, he bought a security cam to catch the police!
Hell yeah! The “easy out” for the owner would have been to just fire him, but the owner had Earl’s back the whole way.
If I'm the owner, I would likely use that as evidence for harassing my business.

They probably did after the cameras were gone
Hahaha 😂🤣, I'm imagining that happen as the camera is rolling and he was still talking.
Police: Earl, it's time to go back where you belong.
Earl: Oh man, not again. I'm still not finish with the interview.
🤣😂
Statistically speaking, it is nothing short of a miracle.
I don't know. That was a very short interview.
@ When you get 54 instances, considering the time it takes to report, observe, investigate, arrest, detain, and release someone, it doesn't matter so much how long the interview is.
This is the most acceptable grounds for suing I've ever seen.
Even more reason that police immunity should be removed. This should be an IA investigate the officer involved be fired and charged with harassment. The police chief also need to lose his job.
It would have been excellent grounds to sue after the tenth time. Earls got the patience of three dozen saints
Think about how much money he spent bonding out, dealing with fines, or even court costs for every instance he was arrested. That is for sure something to look into because all that adds up. Not sure how much he has paid, but this feels like it's being done to drain his bank account.
In the polices defense they said they'd stop arresting him if he would just stop being black.

You know that Earl knows that he only has to lift his eyebrow wrong and the police will probably shoot him because he posed a “credible threat” to their lives - or, more accurately, their egos.

It should also be noted: even though the cameras were only installed in 2011/2012, the owner has been by Earl’s side, fighting for him from the very beginning. He’d known Earl since he was 14, and knew he was an upstanding guy.
He’d tried multiple times to report the injustice for multiple individuals targeted, but was only met with harsher profiling.
What’s worse for Earl, he ultimately had to plead guilty to all the trespassing charges… in order to get out of jail… for something which was literally proven to be an abuse of the system. His record was expunged later on, but that’s not even close to the point.
That just goes to show how badly we need to change the way some cities are policed. I wonder how many cities are operated just like this if not worse.
@@nicomoreno5028 agreed. It happens far more than people like to believe. I’m tired of people being in denial and acting like police are second to god. They’re humans, and the vast majority of them either have terrible training, or they choose not to follow it.

with the amount of times that he's been falsely arrested, i'm quite astonished he hasn't sued the police into oblivion.
He and others did. The city reached a settlement, and none of the officers in the lawsuit were punished in the slightest except for one that sided with the plaintiffs.
Keep suing! Until it's his full-time job! Until the town has to discorporate because there's no more money, and every tax dollar goes straight to Earl. And the police force, to the last man, dies of hunger under a bridge.

If he was getting arrested once a week there's no way it was a new officer every time. Feels like they were trying to slowly break him down, trying to get him to react violently. No idea why they were targetting him specifically, maybe the officers had some vendetta against him.

Its just "Modern Slavery".
After the civil war, the southern states & Northern States knew that the south couldn't survive without the benefit of slaves. So the north basically looked away as the southern states found loopholes to give them power to maintain a control on minorities to ensure that they could keep black people enslaved even after the civil war. By instituting various laws that would be almost solely used on black people to ensure that they could not escape the slave states and be in return imprisoned by these new pig laws, such as
* Riding a train is illegal while black.
* Walking next to the railroad while black is illegal.
* Riding a horse is illegal.
* Leaving a job without completing it regardless of pay or not, is illegal.
* Seeking a new job without the permission of the old job boss, is illegal.
* Not having a job is illegal.
* Loitering while black is illegal.
* Testifying against a white is illegal.
They essentially created so many asinine bullshit laws that ended up re-enslaving thousands of black people. People who wanted to escape these slave states were caught by the POLICE and then locked up, then laws allowed the police to send prisoners out for "work-programs" at plantations. [source 01.](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Codes_\(United_States\))
Be it Blacks, Native Americans, Irish, Mexicans, labor-union organizers and even "white foreigners", the police were not developed/formalized to protect them, but to protect the properties of the ruling class. To utilize the police to subjugate and control minorities. [Source 02.](time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/)
Black people were brought to do the textile work in the north and the agricultural work in the south. The north utilized the police to stop any union forming, to maintain and protect the properties and products of the ruling class. While in the south the police were utilized as slave-patrols. Where they were predominantly used against black people to capture and imprison any "non-owned" black people who wished to run away from slave states or leave slavery.
The south essentially were the first to socialize slavery in a sense. Because now they didn't need to pay for feeding, maintaining and housing slaves anymore. The police and state would handle that.
This basic system of "slavery" has continued to this day. Imprisoned slavery.
The prison industrial complex has multiple facets to it and multiple agencies that support it for their own benefits.
* **You have the private prison corporations.**
These guys are making bank right now, they were losing ground under Obama, but with Trump and the concentration camps in the south, [Source 03.](www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/border-facilities/593239/) they are making money like never before. During 2014-2017 Private prisons cost the US tax payer 2-4 billion over 3-4 years. During 2018 it cost 5 Billion USD. Private Prisons are paid 750 USD per CHILD they hold in the south. One facility can hold up to 3,500 kids, thats about 2.4M USD per day. [Source 04.](www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-children/first-stop-for-migrant-kids-for-profit-detention-center-idUSKCN1Q3261) There are 110+ private prisons in the US.
They also own A LOT of "after-prison" programs. Were talking AA, Narcotics programs, halfway homes, mandated prison programs, prison clothes, prison food and equipment. So the incentive for them to maintain a high prison population is HIGH.
* **You have the politicians.**
Nixon was perhaps the one who really sealed the deal with regards to societal portrayal of police and black communities. Nixon domestic advisor was proud to announce publicly that they were lying about drugs in black neighborhoods so that they could police black neighborhoods and arrest and beat their leaderships and disrupt any organization and collective power building that those minority groups could achieve. This guy gleefully stated that they would DELIBERATELY portray black people as heroin and drug abusers thugs and gangsters to align white people with republican ideologies. [Source 05.](www.cnn.com/2016/03/23/politics/john-ehrlichman-richard-nixon-drug-war-blacks-hippie/index.html)
This association lead to loss of social programs and tax money going from helping communities grow to policing communities to remain the same. Throughout the generations afterwards the association of Black people and Drug abuse was hand in hand. Reagonimcs and crack cocaine sealed the deal as FOR-PROFIT 24 Hours News came about lambasting and supporting republican ideologies by misrepresenting issues of black communities from specific perspectives. During Reagan’s last year in office the African American poverty rate stood at 31.6%, as opposed to 10.1% for whites. Black unemployment remained double that of whites throughout the decade. By 1990, the median income for black families was $21,423, 42% below white households. [Source 06.](www.pewsocialtrends.org/2016/06/27/1-demographic-trends-and-economic-well-being/)
This lead to a feedback loop, where politicians would come in, use the medias portrayal of crime as justification to give less in social programs which lead to more people having to rely on criminal behaviors to sustain themselves, which lead to further increased policing and further loss of social programs and loss of local opportunities etc etc. The republican party deliberately wants to under-fund minority communities so to maintain their talking points. So the incentive for republicans and certain politicians and judges and DAs to come out and stand against crime and support the police is HIGH.
* **You have the Police Union Leaders & Corrupt Cops.**
Being a cop is a lucrative opportunity if wanted. Some cops can get up to 250k with overtime in a year. [Source 07](www.nj.com/somerset/2019/11/4-cops-in-this-nj-town-earned-250k-last-year-heres-how-they-gamed-the-system.html). They have no incentive to change. They dont want to change. Because this system rewards them. If there is lack of decrease of crime, then there will be an decrease of funding for the police. There will be limits to Overtime a officer can charge. There will be limits to the equipment and tools that police can purchase and where they can purchase from. There will be a lack of available positions and lead to downsizing if there is a decrease of criminal behavior.
Union leaders know they get cushy pensions and fat checks. They have no incentive to change things. They scratched and clawed their way up and took the position from the previous corrupt cop. There is no way they will change the way they do things. Union leaders have such a hold on community politicians to the degree the politicians fear going against them.
The system is designed to keep people enslaved to benefit a select few. It will continue to remain like that unless the people DEMAND the change. Because the empty promises, the logo change, the corporations sending out email newsletters, is NOT CHANGE. Its attempts to tell people to calm down and go back to their places.

"Zero tolerance" (for black people, even when they're not engaged in unlawful activity). A "high crime area" doesn't mean that people no longer have constitutional rights. Law enforcement officers are supposed to have at least a reasonable articulable suspicion that someone was engaged in unlawful activity, in order to detain them at all. And they're supposed to have probable cause to support searches, seizures, and arrests.
“It’s a high crime area” so they spend most of their time arresting the same innocent guy instead of actually fighting crime
These cops are acting worse than the local gangs!!!
It safe. They can act big and worthy withou any danger.
Sue the police. Sue the city. Strip them of qualified immunity.
The cops ARE the high crime.
Or put another way: The police are spending so much time arresting and releasing Earl, they don’t have enough manpower to address actual crimes. I would fire every police officer, except for the first one to arrest Earl, unless they arrested him later as well.
These pigs get a paycheck whether Earl gets convicted or not. The cops are not judged on the quality/accuracy of their work.

@@dandc2011 A1 is poster size, 23.4 x 33.1 in. So the cops can't miss it. :)
Why did it take 4 years for authorities to “look into it”?
They were too busy arresting Earl
Cos the same authorities were too busy arresting the only black guy in the area.
one word:
florida
Story gets more messed up. They finally start an investigation based on Earl, a cop breaks lines and signs an affidavit swearing that superiors (most notably Maj. Anthony Chapman) instructed them to target black men ages 15-30, and the results? You guessed it, nothing. Oh, there was one cop fired, the one that signed the affidavit.
@@misinformedmarti that’s so fucked up
So they arrest this guy 56 times for doing nothing wrong... Then use the statistics of 56 arrests to patrol his neighborhood even more.
And they say perpetum mobile doesn't exist.
@@michasokoowski6651I really hope you mean "perpetual motion" because what the fu@$ even is perpetum mobile....sounds like a cell phone plan you sign up for once and pay for for the rest of your life....
@@Astraeus.. Ah right, its a "perpetuum mobile", not "perpetum mobile". My bad.
And perpetuum mobile is a commonly used to describe a device that exhibits perpetual motion.
@@michasokoowski6651 so commonly that.. no one anywhere has ever heard of it.
You know it. Cause... (drum roll,please) ... it's a high-crime area.
Being unlawfully detained, searched and arrested would be stressful for most people, but for Earl it is just Tuesday.
This is legitimate harassment, these officers don’t deserve a job even if it’s a “mistake” every time... somehow... yeah no dice
Pretty sure at this point it's a meme between them. Disgusting pigs
It's probably a racist citizen who doesn't like Earl who keeps calling police when he sees him. (And keep in mind police have an obligation to come check if they judge it could be a dangerous situation)
@@momo777777777777777 what about false accusation ? after 250 times n they find nothing on him.. the accuser should be accused
Momo...no one is calling in. The police aren't answering calls. They've targeted one young man and they harassing him for no legal reason. They have no excuse and no one to blame but the police. Here's the kicker...the Police are funded by local taxes. Taxpayers are paying for these police to keep harassing him...for four years. If I lived there I'd want those police fired! They're costing taxpayers too much.
you think??????? shit it only take one time!!!! oh u gotta be white!! lol lol lol
This is literally the real life version of the “Aw shit, here we go again” meme
Yeah, life not supposed to be a meme
@@melvinprince93 Where do you think most memes come from lol
I remember when I got a new car, my record was 13 times pulled over in 1 year (2016). People really don't believe cops love harassing black people. I remember I got pulled over with my white friend at night. Cops drove up besides me, got behind me, pulled me over and said he pulled me over for tinted windows 🤣🤣... I DON'T HAVE TINTED WINDOWS LMAO.
Its wild being black...try being black and having nice car. They'll think you stole it. Been pulled over few times and questioned how I got my money smh. But staying ignorant helps some white folks feel like we don't have police issue
@@Tunechi65 you are completely correct! I believe it’s actually a much bigger issue that this, too. If looked at nationally, try being poor (black, hispanic, asian, native american, and believe it or not, white) and getting away with it. The police protect and serve those in power and little else. In fact, the supreme court actually decided in 1989 that the police are not required to protect any of us at all.
@@melvinprince93 you understand that because of our gene and meme we are literally here lmaooooo
I'm surprised this wasn't The Onion
I was thinking it was The Onion when I read the title
#ThisIsNotTheOnion
Is that a happy ending? Some fat cat gets to retire early?
This is not the onion?
You see this is why The Onion stopped posting, where would they be when reality provides dumber news than they could ever hope to come up with?
How many times has he been arrested now, 10 years later?
Update: Out of court settlement was reached.
Chief of police forced to resign.
#Ilovehappyendings
Thank you.
I hope they leave that poor man the f-k alone now.
I am so happy to hear this. This was never right!
So the actualy policemen who all did the arrests are still out there, in uniform? Yes, "happy" ending.
@@jesse9710 they just follow orders.
Cop: Where do I file this? In the E section?
Sergeant: No. In the Earl filing cabinet.
Cop: Where is the Earl filing cabinet?
Sergeant: In the Earl building.
Hey, That is one of the Best comments ever !
.
Dude, that's comedy material you got there! Very funny!
You Deserve More Likes 😂
This was good bro.
On Earl street.
“This is a high crime area.”
Soooo.. that’s your excuse? Targeting a man each officer has seen at least 5 times?
I bet if the police stopped criminally harassing Earl, they could pretty much end crime in that "high crime area"!
@@grosbeak2007 then when they reduce enforcement in the area, and someone is killed in the store, they're called racist for not doing enough to stop Earl, I mean crime.
Do you think any of them were dumb enough to say "they all look alike" ?
The racist cops are probably going to arrest him while he’s at home cooking a meal and charge him for being an arsonist!
I don't get it either. There is no way every police officer there does not know him by face after all this. They should also be well aware that he works there and is not doing anything criminal. Seems like they are specifically fucking with him, like he fucked the police chiefs wife or something.
For anyone curious regarding the outcome: Earl Sampson filed a lawsuit in 2013. The police chief resigned a month later, but claimed it was unrelated. Earl's federal civil rights lawsuit was settled in 2015 for an undisclosed amount. No officer was penalized for the incident, except for Jose Rosado who was fired for siding with Earl against his employer in the suit. Jose's subsequent wrongful termination lawsuit was unsuccessful.
Thanks for the update!!! I was thinking maybe it was someone specific calling the police doing this!
There is no way they are not purposely harrassing him.
Yes ok
@@tydeprince719 wtf does that mean???
@@bigkiwial I put yea ok as being sarcastic but phone autocorrected to yes ok

Bruh 😂😂😂
Nooooo 😂
Oh noooooooo😂
Damn 😂
Yeaaa boiii
When you continuously land on 'go to jail' in monopoly
Exactly how it seems!! Like that's the only spot on the board.
Underrated af
Lmao more like "Go to Jail, Go directly to Jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200" 😂😂
and get the "go to jail" card every single time you hit the chance and community chests
😆
If this was not racial profiling and intencial retaliatory behavior and these officers should be fired. High crime does not justify them violating peoples rights unlawfully.
