when a sheriff is off duty running around in this personal vehicle looking to start shit he should be removed from office.
Power hungry dick head who has no control of his own life so flexes his authority by hiding behind a badge like a coward.
Could be the off duty sheriff was going to his home in that area.
He answers a call, They are on call 24/7.
@@ev88an Wrong, Next time something happens to you or family member.Call your local crack.dealer.
@Cops Suck Everything is racist to a racist.
Here's the thing: once the police found out he was just delivering papers, which took only 15 seconds, they needed to tell the sheriff to take a hike and let the man go back to work.
100% correct
Robert, just because the man had a legitimate reason for being there, doesn't mean he didn't threaten somebody. Haven't you noticed his short temper? Haven't you noticed his lack of listening skills? He made the encounter so much worse by failing to remain calm and reasonable.
His attitude hindered any possibility of a fast end to the situation.
@@markallen2984 To much for weak entitled minds to wrap around. When I'm stopped I keep it on the cool side. Thugs would call that a boot licker. No, just good old common sense and a sense of self respect morals and honesty. Greatly lacking in the
Thug world.
@@radicalttc Yeah he should have tried to calm down a little. But until you experience this bs for your self, this shit gets old! Put yourself in his shoes.
Wow, that sheriff should be arrested for calling false emergency which is a felony.
Why do I have to be calm? I am angry, and I have EVERY right to be angry!
This isn't "a misunderstanding". The cop lied when he said "he threatened me". He made a false report. Take the cop to jail.
He should sue the lying assas and retire early.
how do you know? you just assuming because the guy's black he must be innocent and being harassed right? sounds lil racist to me but you keep doing you.
how do you know that? i bet your black area is so safe.
He's an a hole racist! Isn't hard to tell. He should file charges and sue that piece of sh*t!
Agreed!!!!!
The Sheriff feels threatened yet he's outside 3 in the morning following a car by himself.
Logic, I'm sure he has his gun with him tho
Great point.
And wearing a sidearm and a trunk full of guns total bull crap
Lol right but he in the wrong
Stupid is not exclusive to criminals sometimes it is worse
I remember when this happened. This was THE top sheriff in the county who didn’t identify himself. There was an investigation afterwards because several cops came flying to save this sheriff who said his life was in danger. The sheriff was removed from office.
Good 👍
Didn't Have a Wife to Beatdown
Good
Wow!! So glad he was removed from office!!
He needed to be removed from office.
The more videos I see like this, the more I am understanding what black people (especially black men) have to go through. I’ll admit that I used to be ignorant and think that it was overblown and that this type of stuff doesn’t happen on the regular… but I’m beginning to realize that this stuff is WAY more common than we all think. Keep putting these videos out, and more people will learn (like I have). I’m truly sorry if you’re a black American and have had to deal with harassment like this.
specially men? They attacked a poor women and her 3 fucking children on a macdonals. She was driving her car, her day off with her family, and these dogs did that shit to her.
Well all you need to do when you’re a black man in America is just just call everyone a racist.
That's horrific and the caller should be charged with making a false complaint.
Exactly, I can see how a flying newspaper out a car window and plotting criminal activity can be confused! 🤦♀️This could have ended so bad. Thank god he kept his cool.
Never happen it was a no good pig that called in false report
Yeah this "sheriff" need a work in toys r us.
Should but won’t.
something tells me that the sheriff has a personal beef with this guy and is abusing his power to make this poor man's life way harder than it has to be in order to intimidate/bully him out of the area
He has the right to ask someone why they following him
He have them rights

They're not cops, they're SS soldiers of the American Gestapo
This sad... The guy that called the cops should be charged for knowingly making a false report.
He was, eventually.
I agree 100%. Racial profiling is way more than obvious.
Exactly , With Acquired Immunity these jerks can just continue committing criminal acts without any accountability .
The Sheriff was charged, but this guy's Disorderly Conduct is a misdemeanor in and of itself. Do I believe he made threats against the Sheriff? We don't have for-sure proof of either side, but given his bad attitude and aggressive nature, I wouldn't rule it out. His aggressive body language is indicative of someone who would say something like, "Come on then, you come over here and see what happens" or any variation thereof. I know this kind of personality and have seen it on and off for decades. He probably did say something. Take a look at what the cop says right before he leaves...he tells him to "don't say anything" when he was passing by the Sheriff. Why? The officer could tell that his big mouth and big ego would escalate the conflict even more and serve to get himself into trouble with multiple officers present and not just the Sheriff's say-so. Because again, looking at the guy's aggressive ranting and body language, he's the type who would ride by the Sheriff and scream something ignorant like, "Aaaaahaaaa! Got you, boy! They didn't do nothin' to me! You lied!" and start a whole thing all over again. Do I believe that he would do that? Absolutely. Apparently the unbiased officer who didn't witness what happened between the paper guy and Sheriff also read that same vibe from the paper guy that he'd try to start something with the Sheriff due to having a big ego and loud mouth. He jumped out of the car aggressively while talking to the officers, in fact. That's not even normal behavior of a person just doing their job.
@@jmr1068204 are you serious bro. To many assumptions on your behalf. Not good bro
The Sheriff needs to be charged with filing a false 911 call.
California just passed a law I believe where that's a thing. I could see how it could be misconstrued though and why some people are afraid of that law.
WE NEED A NATIONAL DATA BASE OF BAD COPS... most cops are good but let's be honest, a solid 20% are made up of meat heads, racists, bullies, and wanna be mercenaries.
I'm tired of hearing "it's just a few bad apples." 20% is not a "few bad apples."
These so called "bad apples" use key words like "suspicious" "I thought I saw a weapon" "I felt threatened" to harass and or kill black and brown.
Yes
Always going to be bad apples and also sheriff seems not saying the sheriff is a bit racist but to be honest has all these cops up the newspaper guys ass for nothing yeah sheriff seems abit fishy
@@ALlixior Yep. And being as this is not the first time he’s done this to this working man, he needs to be reprimanded harshly. Just like most bad apples, they are never out there doing anything productive to the community, just harassing people simply because they can. I know not all of them are like this, but it only takes one bad apple to spoil it for everyone.

@@itzmason2005 they weren't making assumptions, they were believing a lying ass sheriff, who made a false claim that his life was threatened. They wouldn't have treated the sheriff like that, if ole boy would've called the cops and said he was threatened. So save da BS you are on buddy.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
What's Hilarious is if he WAS white, they'd gave him just as much shit as they gave Mr. Black. But if HE'D raised he'll like this, he'd got his ass kicked. Dint tell me any bullshit either, as a Bail Agent/Fugitive Recovery Agent, I've been called in on 10 times and drug out of our vehicle..all 4 of us. And 2 of us were black too. So knock off all the whining and crying about racism. Im White as well as another of us are, and 2 are black. In Tennessee, we ARE our own Fugitive Recovery Team, and if it's 3am, (which it probably was because That's when newspaper delivery drivers start.)ANYBODY is going to be pulled over and checked if you're cruising around a neighborhood or Apartment complex...if you're seen, that is.
The cop who screamed at him out of nowhere for reaching, even tho his hands were visible the whole time was the most angering part for me, yes he was being expressive and moving his hands, but they were clearly visible the entire time
You are dumb af.
Tell that to all the police who have been shot in the head and killed in a split second over a simple traffic stop.
You have no idea how hard it is.
You're just talking garbage and have no clue.
This is sad, the sheriff said he knew he's a newspaper delivery guy but he's still detaining and asking questions because the person following him is a cop. He was on his delivery route and the cop was following him. Wow!!
I really think that cop was really trying to figure the situation out he was gonna let him go anyway
It's a shame.
Yeah, but there was still the issue of the alleged threat. Can't just let him go because they realised he was a paper carrier, they need to find out if he really did threaten his life. It doesn't look like he did, thankfully, but they've still got to question him to know.
The Sherriff is an elected official. Maybe this needs to be shown next time he runs for office.
Jesus, no, this will help the sheriff get reelected.

Definitely, because if he really wasn't doing anything, there was no reason to follow him nor call the cops. It's obviously racial profiling.

"Oh it's cuz im black"
This man expressed his anger and frustration in such a perfect way, without causing harm to himself. Love him. What really bothered me about them bothering him like this is the fact that he was just trying to earn a living, and a meagre one at that. I delivered papers and you don't make much. Poor guy. Trying to take care of 5 kids. These cops are such a joke sometimes.
They will call a black cop racist
A bad joke smh

I honestly don't think it had anything to do with the guy being black. since it's the sheriff that called the police and made accusations, they would've came with this many police regardless
He was targeted cops do this on their spare time leading to situations like this. Keep in mind that the sheriff himself had time to follow a newspaper carrier early in the morning imagine how much time cops have to target citizens.
Just a guy trying to make an honest living. This is fucked.

They're trying to cover the sheriff's tracks. He should have been arrested for making a false 911 call.
This is a very good man being harassed by a POS that should be removed from office. This encounter needs viewed by all the citizens of the county so as they may make an informed decision at the ballot box. It’s obvious you won’t get anywhere in there courts for real justice.
Seriously
😑
Sometimes police need to understand that the anger comes from the inconvenience and the time wasted when you're pulled over for no reason
They know they just don't care.
And more importantly systemic racism.
Their thought process is you should be more concerned about the officer's safety than you are about your time being wasted. Which is bullshit because I couldn't give less of a shit about a piggy's safety or peace of mind.
What nobody seems to understand though is that the cop has no idea what the situation is until they actually get there and see what’s going on. They just get a call over the radio, saying you need to go check this out. They literally have no idea of the situation they’re walking into and they deal with dangerous people all the time so they just have to be extra cautious. Don’t know why that concept and the cop’s eye view is endlessly lost on people.
@@ryanrobin12 that all goes out the window when they go to the scene and figure out what’s happening yet still decide to treat em like shit

The inconvenience of getting stopped from your work and having time wasted will get you pissed. He's right to be angry.
the sheriff broke the law by making a false 911 call and lying about being threatened and stalking a black man for doing his job while black.
He wanted them to show up and shoot him. He knew what he was doing.

Actually right at 1:06 he puts his hands into his lap and then the cop reacts saying to stop reaching for stuff which is a appropriate command. Takes only a couple of seconds for someone to pull a weapon and put a bullet between your eyes so safety is a number one propriety in any and all traffic stops.
Let him do his job and leave him alone.
Shit is annoying when someone calls the cops on you for BS.
Couldn’t the sheriff make himself feel unthreatened by simply turning the steering wheel and minding his own business?
Big facts 😆
That would be too human for him.
yep
This all started because the sheriff *Ed Troyer* was at home sleeping and he heard a car driving in and out of driveways so he decided to get up and follow him...He thought the guy was a porch pirate...The Sheriff's call to the 911 dispatcher sparked a massive police response, atleast 40 cops were dispatched from various agencies all rushing toward the scene because the Sheriff told the 911 dispatcher that the man threatened to kill him - an allegation he later retracted after being questioned by police...Ed lied!
@@reducecotwo Yes. So in other words he lied.

Cedric should have press charges against that sheriff for Harassment and Making a False Report. . .😶🤔🤨💯
Let’s be honest. How far do you think; pressing charges with get Cedric?
The sheriff’s fellow officers, are going to insulate him; from any liability. It’s the “Blue Wall”.
Also, victims of Systemic Racism, under “Color of Law” lack follow through.
First a victim has to file charges, at the Federal Level. Doing it at the city, or state level; doesn’t achieve ANYTHING substantive.
Second; while the Sheriff is being investigated; they have to Suspend his Police Power. That way; he cannot effect any arrests, or call in any favors.
Next Cedric has to utilize a Trial Attorney; in order to approach the Law Enforcement office, for a substantial settlement. Cedric has to make sure; that his attorney, is a Trial attorney, and not simply a settlement attorney. Just in case, the Sheriff’s department, wants to drag out the process.
The only thing; that people in positions of power, respect; is equal power, and economic accountability....
@@raymondweston8997 I believe Cedric has stated the process...

He should have got a pat on the back and told to continue doing what he was doing . Personal relation with the public goes along way at the end of it all !

And here’s the kicker… I’m a cop

Code 4
As a cop, can you explain how this man was not under arrest, yet was not free to leave?
Sheriff was in fear for his life.
A paperboy pulled a paper out and put it on his porch!
Such a brave cop!!!
Well it's not like the sherriff can read so he would be scared of the print.
So he called the police on the paper delivery guy and he said his life was threatened ain't some of the sheriff's armed cuz we know some of the sheriff's and police officers has to be having guns around their cars and house
yeah, they are like a gang of 3 year old girls.. no I take that back 3 year-old girls are much braver.
they generally aren't afraid of sandwiches or neighbors. or paperboys.
Lmfaoo
The 10,000 videos of whites being pulled over by white cops never make it to RUclips....Get it....probably not.
They charged the cop with false report after he took back that there was any threats. And the newspaper worker filled a law suit. Hope the charges stick and hope he wins his lawsuit
no they didn’t
The governor asked the attorney general to investigate, and the local council stopped their investigation. Court date set in july.
Later on the night of the incident, he recanted being threatened.
I hope that Cedric doesn't accept any settlements and takes this case as far as it can go to reflect real change.
Good thanks
BRAVO !!!
I love how they pretend that they would use the same amount of resources if he wasn't Black.
Throwing newspapers while Black is a crime...
You just know, if a regular person was randomly following someone and made a false police report, there would be hell to pay.
Damn straight! Go to jail for that shit.
What pissed me off the most is how they act like he doesn’t have a legit reason to be mad.
He doesn’t though. Soooo
Someone called the cops after they exchanged words with him and felt he was suspicious. Would you prefer that cops ignored all calls?
@@theprinceofallsaiyans5830 what??? hes mad cause theyre keeping him from getting back to work tryna talk to him when he's clearly not doing anything wrong. Even after he explained what happened and knew he was just a newspaper guy they were searching his car and wasting his time. So yes he DOES have a reason to be mad. smh
And it was late at night 🙄 talking about aggravation at it’s all time high ... let me do my job and go please kind sir, this made no sense, in my opinion no questions should have been asked towards “The Newspaper Guy” b.k.a Cedrick a hard working man trying to make an honest living
@@theprinceofallsaiyans5830 my man for face value it may seem like it's something small to you but as a black male in society there are thousands of situations with black men surrounded by cops for the smallest reason. It's unnecessary it's embarrassing all these cop cars on the street neighbors looking outside and for what? A new paper carrier & a nosey neigbor ? Sometimes you really have to put yourself in other people's shoes to truly understand . I completely understand why he's upset and tense because it's bs . Let him would've been anyone else he wouldn't have gotten bothered . Imagine trying to do your job and you get police called on you? Or someone made up a lie to get them to rush there for something more serious than what it is and now there tensed because there told one thing he's tensed because it's another and one pop off and then someone ends up dead.

I watched the interview this man did a yr after the incident. To say he's tormented and has ptsd is an understatement
It’s not hard to understand why this honest hard working guy is pissed!
If he's Just Working, then he Has no reason to be Worried!! The Clown that Called the Cops should worry!! They will Clear him If he Would only SHUT UP!!
These Cops are Azz wholes like this all over the country and it's a dam shame!!!
All them cop's for what,but need I ask we go through this BS all the time this is routine. Everyday in a America. The land of the free!!
Agreed
His behavior is irrational. Like a child. If he'd just be quiet and listen the matter would be resolved promptly. Did you notice that he's the one who's making about race?
When the cop accused him of moving his hands - that’s a nervous time, because that’s the time people get shot, when nervous cops think someone is reaching for a gun, when they’re not.
Cops not nervous! Let me guess you think he’s a scared cop? Lol. People kill cops all the time! Do you not know this? Be a cop first before you make a dumb comment.
@@JM-xj5xt...and cops kill or hurt people all the time. It goes both ways. That is NOT a dumb comment. I've met great cops and I've met horrible cops. It's a tough job, it really takes a good amount of attentiveness with a cool head.

Considering all the deputies surrounding Sedrick, he has handled himself like a real gentleman. I was sitting here boiling and wondering how he had such restraint… What a waste of manpower just to show this man who is in charge! Disgusting!!!
I get suspicious when cops repeatedly say, "we're just trying to figure this out." There really isn't anything to figure out.

@@MrEmoji-rf7wf stfu
Funny how it takes 4-5 cops to “figure out what’s going on” while the same exact story is explained to them for 10 minutes straight.
They automatically have multiple cops on every scene these days because of how crime, drugs, and terrorism has amped up.
I feel sorry for this black man. He’s trying to do his job, but the cops are trying to do theirs. They should have let him go once they realized who he was and what he was doing.
The sheriff may have had good intentions, but once he found out this fellow was a paper man, the proper thing to do would have been to apologize to the driver and get on. Instead, I’m guessing the Black guy felt profiled and got angry and the sheriff didn’t like the attitude so the sheriff made a stink. That’s wrong. Let the man go. The sheriff could have made an honest mistake, but he should have been a man and treated the other man right.
@@delilahrainelle7158 he didn’t feel profiled. He was profiled.* Also, they weren’t doing they’re job correctly because like you said, they should’ve left him alone to begin with.
@@reese7696 the cops attending did not profile the man, they were called because of what the sheriff said. The sheriff’s dumb behavior is not the fault of the others.
My comment was addressing the behavior of the ones answering the call. They handled the scene properly. It wasn’t fair to the Black man, but in truth they followed protocol. In today’s society, the appearance of innocence does not constitute innocence. I understand what being inconvenienced means, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Furthermore, not all cops racially profile. It’s sad that we still have bad characters, but those are in all races and all situations.
Chain of command is the same in a workplace. Ever called a company and spoke to one person who passed you off to another person's extension, who passes you off to another person's extension?
@@delilahrainelle7158 EXACTLY!!!! No More.... No Less! ✌️
His anger is real I get that, but his attitude places him in this problematic arena. He should have remained calm and just spoke to the officers. Everything will be ok.
he's a human not a robot we have emotions
Sheriff should be charged with false report, which is a felony.
"you're not under arrest, but get out and sit on the curb."
proper response: AM I BEING DETAINED?
"No you're not being detained we just need to check a few things have a seat"
"If I'm not being detained, I'm free to leave then?"
"No we just need you to stay here and answer a few questions, then you can go"
"So I am being detained?"
"No, we just need to establish who you are, and where you live, do you have any ID?"
He told him to seat on the bumper of the car not on the ground..
@@rigoramos9856 stfu that has nothing to do with anything
@@slav3_5534 You stfu yes it does The original statement says sit on the curb, which the officer didn't say that. He quoted it, it's called a misquote you numbskull.
@@kingelvis19 you're arguing semantics and ignoring the main point of the post.
The nerve of that officer to say what are you reaching for, when he wasn't reaching for anything! That's how it starts, and another innocent black man could've been shot for his foolishness! Smh!
I’m a white man, and I’m so sorry my fellow black Americans have to deal with this bullshit! I honestly felt scared for this young man when that officer yelled what are you reaching for, I literally tensed up and felt scared for him I couldn’t imagine what he felt being there in that moment surrounded by a bunch of police officers with guns TRYING to comply with their orders and he has the nerve to yell out stop reaching around while his hands were CLEARLY on his steering wheel smh 🤦🏼♂️ all it takes is a another un experienced low trained officer to take that as a threat and pull a gun out on this young man and now his life is in danger, just watching the video I felt his life was in danger while he was sitting the car, and FOR WHAT ??!! This is absolutely pathetic and unacceptable, bless this young man’s heart he had more than enough right and reason to be as pissed off as he was!!!
I think he was adjusting his seatbelt or hoodie or something. Which from that cops angle could of looked like that. However I do believe he has been treated unfairly and the whole stop shouldnt of took longer than a couple minutes, but the witty responses from Cedrick crack me up lol.
Emil Lulic,
no he wasn’t doing anything other than your basic hand movements we all do when we are mad and explaining something. He was in no way reaching at all. The only one reaching was that ignorant cop and without the other cop who was reasonable with Cedric the whole time, things just may have escalated into a situation that sadly we’ve seen far too many times.
I’m all for objective thinking in order to better understand each other but not here with that bitch ass cop.
@@travisp5747 there is no objective thinking in your statement. You don't know what the officer saw from his angle.
Rapid hand gestures are not a smart thing to do after an officer has asked you to keep your hands on the wheel.
@@nickfurym1 Yea... but in the video that we watched, it didn't appear he was reaching for anything. Then it was followed up with, "I'm not reaching for shit "... what other information should we consider other the 1 out of the 9 cops oddly yelling by himself?
The guy has a right to be PISSED but he could have been respectful from the start instead of screaming and everything. You need to always maintain your dignity. Dignity always prevails.
Going forward I will pray every black man makes it home safely! This is not a misunderstanding this is SAD!
I have to agree with this guy he’s being harassed
@Écrivain of course they sent him on his way. The police wanted information from him so if the newspaper guy wanted to press charges against his stalker, he would have sufficient evidence and proof. It’s good not to get so defensive right off the bat.
Sorry I don't agree. This fool is belligerent, argumentative and acting in a disorderly manner. You want respect, give it.
@@michaelmay7917 lmao your funny it’s the opposite way if you think he wasn’t racially profiled your delusional, the cops need to earn their respect and them not knowing the obvious is disrespectful they’ll believe your guilty before believing your innocence
@@michaelmay7917 you lack empathy, you can’t understand what’s going on, and I understand that. Just keep your mouth closed next time

Watch closely, he did put his right hand down for a second, I'm not saying he was reaching for something but he did put his hand down and that's why that officer said that. This officers interact with all kind of lunatics every day and if they are not careful they can end up like that officer in Chicago.
Sheriff is obviously a fucking idiot but those police officers don't know that, they are there on call and trying to figure it out what happened. That's their job and they did it very professionally, which is nice for a change.
Its wrong to treat a person like a criminal and not deal with that Sheriff.
It appears a senior officer used his power to call his subordinates to intimidate the paper guy.
They should have let him go in 5 minutes. This was a complete waste of that guy's time.

@@devinvez3869 when the cops approach wth their hands on a firearm and someone does not even weild a weapon then the logic of "being attacked" shouldn't apply to ALL situations.

I've been approached with a weapon before but i shouldn't think everybody walking up to me with a hoodie "most likely" has a gun on them should i? People need to stop making rare excuses sound relevant.
The guy who called on him is totally in the wrong and I can see why this guys mad, he likely was profiled. But I do understand the rest of the cops point of view they have to take an alleged threat like that seriously and ask more questions.

That sounds like a crock of shit! How would he lose his life if he complies? It's the *ones* that choose not to comply who escalate the situation further.
@The Realist : it's not a given for someone to lose their life by Police. Best case scenario for noncompliance is for them to get arrested for obstruction or resisting. What that person chooses to do during the course of the arrest determines the outcome for themselves. Trust me, killing someone is the last thing Police want to do.
@The Realist : I for one work as a police officer, and have 1st hand experience in the day to day duties. What you're saying is complete horse sh*t 100%. I don't know one cop who intentionally wants to shoot someone. It's the media's fault people like you believe that sh*t. Get a grip

Answering your front door, all while being black.
You or your kind may not set out out to shoot anyone on a particular day but from where we black folks sit, it seems to come easy to shoot us because we don't have the right to get angry; because you scare easy; because like Derrick Chauvin who expected to be fully exonerated despite killing George Floyd in slow motion in front of cameras for all the world to see.

And by you assuming I'm white, that clearly shows your ignorance... but in actuality I'm half Black & Puerto Rican. *News Flash!*
