This is peak level professionalism... These Officers treated this man with so much dignity and respect. And the level of patience they have is saintly... Thank you Appleton PD for the work you do! Y'all are incredible!
Me too. It actually made me feel really sad for him. (The first Brian) I used to work in a Psychiatric Unit and Brian reminded me of an Ex Marine veteran on the ward. Lovely quiet gentle guy who always tried to help everyone else, but had seen way too much (friends blown up by IEDs, their body parts over him) , used alcohol and weed to "self medicate" until it all fried his brain, so he just couldn't hold his own thoughts together. Really sad and our vets get jack sh*t in the way of proper EARLY help.
@@shea5287well that's why the judge signed the search warrant to confiscate his firearms. Well there safe until 2026. That guy better get that house ready to sell soon.
Probably not. Schizophrenia usually becomes symptomatic by the end of your 20s. Disordered and paranoid thoughts aren't a result of caring too much. They are unresponsive and unreasonable, by definition.
Id say it’s long term alcohol induced brain damage/ dementia. Same thing happened to my dad he now he has to have 24 hour care. Such a sad would we live it where you can buy a unlimited about of such a harmful substance it’s ok tho it’s taxable
“I’m getting cold too Brian. If you get in the car, I can too. I don’t have a nice fuzzy hat like yours.” That empathy encouraged him to get into the car without struggle. When I die, I’ve asked my kids to request donations for Wounded Warriors or any Vets assistance. The contrast is a disgrace between how politicians live and how impacted veterans live both active and retired.
Agreed. Liver disease comes with excesses and deficits in blood chemistry that causes abnormal brain function. Add in other substances and this is a perfect storm.
You're so right. He needs to be with people. I feel bad for him. He deteriorated fast in those months. He's not talking non sense at the end. In the first half he was tripping. But the 2nd video, he's in need of some help. He's articulating way better. But he needs a home. Or to live with people.
I’m so relieved to see compassion in these comments for beautiful Brian (the first man). I hope he gets love and care. Jail makes ZERO sense in his situation. 😢
As a person who works with black homeless vets, I just wished this compassion was for all people equally. Unfortunately not only do some people use the “mental illness card” for some groups as an excuse assuming that they just can’t be innately evil like everyone else because they’re naturally pure or some sh/t. But mental challenges don’t even come into mind for other groups who are genuinely suffering & deserve some empathy. Case & point in my line of work I see so many Karen’s fake hyperventilate & get taken to our nicest mental facilities yet the veterans I work with are given no patience and jail time for offenses that don’t even effect other people.
I won't lie. This seems like early onset dementia that has spiraled out of control. I have worked in nursing homes for a good chunk of my life, and this guy talks like some of my previous patients.
This guy seems to be having dementia that is worsening. He doesn't even remember the same cop. Even could have been brought on by chronic alcoholism. 😞 I wish they could get him help elsewhere instead of putting him in jail. Clearly, he's not okay and shouldn't be living on his own. It's extremely sad, actually.
Not early onset, hes well on his way, depends on if you watch the guy for a few days, if its Daily or if it comes like once every few weeks thats early but if its every day he should be in Long Term Care.
It's from all those heavily processed foods. The American public grew up on breakfast cereals, pop tarts, and frozen heat and eat meals. Then, to add to the misery, they charcoal grill their meats. If that ain't bad enough, everyone gets a handgun.
I was expecting crazy aggression before meeting brian. I genuinely feel bad for the man. Hes clearly suffering from some kind of dimentia and isnt getting the help he needs. He reminds me of my grandparents who both had it when they were at their cheeriest days but not quite there.
Retired Psychiatrist. From what I saw, I suspect he's an old Bipolar who's hypomanic. Not yet full fledge mania, but close. Very tangential, jumping one nonsensical statement to another. The classic fixation on hygiene, purging, fearful of sleep, extreme paranoia regarding all the neighbors, but then is going to buy up the entire neighborhood. Unable to adapt to any changes in his environment. He has assigned himself the role patrol person staying armed and guarding the neighborhood. I want to praise the officers. This was probably one of the best, most compassionate interactions I've witnessed. Brian no doubt has a lifelong chronic mental illness. Most likely Bipolar, or Schizoaffective disorder. (Bipolar and Schizophrenia combined. The most severe of all mental illnesses). I suspect it has reached a point where Brian needs to live in a permanent Chronic Mental Illness facility where his basic needs can be provided, shelter, clothing, food and access to personal hygiene as well as medical and mental health treatment. You're not going to cure Brian, but his life and everyone else's can be made a lot more comfortable and safe. Again: big kudos to the police officers. They were all excellent. This video should be used as a training film. The rest of the video indicates a decent into dementia. He needs to be in a controlled facility.
I was thinking old man BP too, and I'm NOT a psychiatrist :D, but have long term foster kids that have been DX'd. I've always wondered what they may look like if uncontrolled....
Kudos?? The officers locked up an elderly man who is clearly mentally unwell, not aware of what he is doing one second to the next, and a WAR VETERAN!! Not to mention, the Tyrants illegally searched his home, by not asking for consent, or obtaining a warrant. And the old man is the one who called them for help in the first place. Brian needed a hospital, not JAIL!
Psychiatrist offering a diagnosis yet did not notice it was 2 different Brians? The homes of the Brians appear the be different, the officers are different, the department vehicles are different one is Appleton the other is Tomah, but most obvious is the department logos on the officers uniforms are completely different. So who are you diagnosing, Brian A or Brian B?
I think it’s most likely he wants to prove of who is literally, due to his mental illness. He doesn’t know how to describe who he is, sad for sure regardless 😕
Call his VA hospital! I worked almost 30 years on the psych ward and this is where Brian needs to be (after he dries out) and gets on proper meds. They have social offerings for vets as well. Praying for Brian on Memorial Day weekend!!
Yeah, I'm with ya on this. He needs a hospital, not a jail cell and the cop that is arguing with him needs reprimanded or retraining because Brian has no idea what he is doing or saying. This man needs help, like yesterday.
Saying that you are a Veteran without proof is called Stolen Valor, he has to have a valid VA ID on his person at all times, I served during the Vietnam War, Air Force 68/72.
This was heartbreaking. When he said nobody gives him shit for veterans day, that put me in tears. I make sure I thank my soldiers in passing, and yearly on veterans day. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRIAN.
It was probably a real pleasure to know Brian when he wasn’t suffering so severely from mental illness. My heart goes out to him. I pray he is able to recover with the proper treatment.
Getting old is scary enough, having one’s brain betray is the scariest scenario. Sadly, the few underfunded VA hospitals are overwhelmed and no longer able to keep the promises made to those who defended the country. This is one of the results.
Thankfully, the VA is able to offer community care referrals now. They can refer patients to a provider outside the VA (private practice, etc), often to a provider of the Veteran’s own choosing. The VA is still as dangerous as ever, but vets have more options now.
Brian stating “I just got up and I’m losing my mind” is heartbreaking. As a paramedic to see an alerted reality isn’t abnormal. When someone realizes the reality is altered is when the fear sets in for them.
Never gave mind to those that actually know they are losing their minds. I never thought about it like that. I guess in the back of my mind I assumed when you went crazy (for lack of a better term) you just don’t realize but seeing what you said, I realize that some may realize what’s going on and yeah, that’s terrifying. The brain is such a mysterious thing…
probably because he has oppressive beliefs. he likely didn't magically become a transphobe when he developed dementia, he was an asshole long before that
They may have abandoned him because he was drunk and abusive. First guy had multiple OWIs by his own admission. People who are under the influence make horrible decisions, and treat other people like garbage.
Man, Brian was depressing . When I think how the MAGA GOP didn’t want to vote for the PACT act and there’s guys like Brian struggling everyday of their lives , well it’s infuriating. Voting for Joe Biden and all Blue this November. Not voting for the guy who thinks vets are suckers and losers (Trump)
@@Busterdrag You can get an emergency 72 hour hold, but longer term involuntary hospitalizations typically requires a significant precipitating event before anyone will sign off on it, (which is kind of true even for a 72 hour hold, but they're a lot more common.) Our existing "mental institutions" are fairly limited in scope. Depending on where in the country you are there may be options for longer term housing for people with severe mental illness; where I work many of my clients would be either homeless or in jail, and are typically mandated into state care through the courts after getting in trouble with the law. Where I work we have "community housing" so it's basically just a couple of small apartment complexes with 24hr on-site staffing, but we can't forcibly require our clients to stay on site. Where I live we put a lot of our taxes into paying for these kinds of services, compared to most of the country, and even here there are only a couple of places that offer mid-to-long term "lock down" housing, like an institution, but even at dedicated mental hospitals, the end goal is usually to transition people into community housing, as it's considered more humane. Other places might not even have community housing at all, so again, you have people who are either homeless, in jail, or people who are barely staying afloat living on their own like our friend Brian here, and as a result are often terrorizing neighbors and using up police resources, instead of having dedicated social workers to be a buffer for some of the escalations in their behavior.
@@laurissachapman9824 sometimes they will play into people’s delusions, such as when they humor them to calm them. They’ll agree and discuss things with someone as long as it’ll de escalate the situation.
This is sad. This man needs serious help and managed care in a hospital. Jail is not the answer in this case. If he is a veteran, the VA is failing him miserably.
@@amck72 You misunderstand the point of my comment. I treat vets with PTSD. Many are thrown aside like trash. Having served our country, they deserve better. If he had done something illegal, he would have to deal with the consequences.
@@amck72 A better question would be "What if he received the proper care from the VA, so that he DOESN'T have the ability or intent to shoot a neighbor?"
@@WhiteTrashTennessee well, that first complainant said he was calling the Chinese neighbors by the derogatory term, "Gxxks" - but he has also lost his mental capacity so... 🤷♀️
The problem is that President Biden has closed a lot of the mental health facilities that deals with people with severe mental illness. This man would be a perfect candidate for that however none of them are open. In fact, I have a friend that is in severe substance abuse and it’s been begging for help and nobody will take her in. They say she needs to be monitored however in Tucson there is no such facility. She’d have to go to Nevada. Really????? Nevada I. Pork
@DiEppley-bu1jp this has been a ongoing issue in this country for decades. Blaming it on one president bc you're still upset he lost a fair election is ridiculous 🙄 Trump did nothing for the mentally ill in this country and neither did his predecessors.
@@MrfailstandstilPeople get hospitalized for a week or so, they get medicated and stabilized, they get discharged. Pretty soon they're right back where they were before. There isn't much available for long term care except for the most extreme cases. Unless you have plenty of money and family to care you're pretty much out of luck.
Man, poor guy is literally out of his mind. he needs to be in a facility that has the capability to take care of him and help him if possible. But he shouldn't have guns.
A little MDMA and whip-it ballon, will get a meeting scheduled with those Chinese Hedgehogs. Or you might end up living a lifetime on the rings of Saturn. Either way, enjoy the trip.
Right.. Makes me want to make sure I do all I can to keep my mind healthy so when I get as old as these guys I'll still be mentally sharp.. I hope you stay healthy and strong! Keep up the good fight. God bless you.
@@TonyDoGood unfortunately Dementia/Alzheimer's isn't something you can avoid. My Great Aunt was sharp as a tack, never smoked, never drank, was extremely active and completely healthy until she suddenly just wasn't.... She died earlier this year after 8yrs from her first diagnosis, she spent a year of that bed bound, non verbal, on a liquid syringe diet and staring at a wall, her heart was as strong as an ox so she just wouldn't give up 😕 she was 73yrs old... If you think losing your mind is harrowing, watching someone lose their mind is 10x worse, my Great Uncle isn't the same man he was before, he's absolutely broken.

@@lindz916 “insinuating”? There’s a reason we don’t have those mental institutions anymore and still don’t. They know they can make those places better they just choose not to do it.
I'm not sure that locking people away in care facilities is the right approach. They can treated in the community, but it needs to be funded correctly to ensure everyone gets the necessary treatment. If the US is going to involve itself in other countries business, then they need to look after the people they send into harm's way.
@@Veritas_mens Really? Would you like to live nextdoor to this guy? He needs help, and getting it in the community simply isn't enough. He needs psychiatric help, home healthcare, someone to make sure he takes his medications, and needs to be supervised 24 hours a day.

@@investigator77 Exactly, im a disable veteran myself, i understand whats going on, he needs long term hospital care, as a veteran there are openings for them. If they can handle the paperwork.
@@jamallabarge2665 I am guessing that when he goes to re-apply to get them back that won't happen. Hoping, anyway. Hate to say it but Brian better learn how to swing a frying pan for home defense.
Yes! God bless our veterans. These politicians care more about the votes they intend on getting by the majority of criminally insane "asylum seekers" VOTER ID REQUIRED!!!
@amysmiles9751 before mental hospitals were closed in the early 80's. Not only were folks released en masse, many who didn't want to leave, it was decided that every mental could refuse their medications and treatment. Here we are today. Jails and police are forced to be the only place left.
I hope Brian gets genuine help. Interacting with developmentally handicapped individuals is rough, and I saw a lot of humanity and patience in these officers while dealing with him.
Poor Brian man. Seems like a great guy minus the psychiatric issues hes facing. This man should have all his needs met and he should be well taken care of. Sickening how politicians are treated versus our vets. God bless Brian.
Agreed, also glad you didn’t mention the same in the second because they didn’t. I get they were scared at first, but the dude needs real help, not jail
Looks like he degraded a lot in those 10 months. His mental state is so sad and yet he maintained a clean and tidy home. He needs a mental competency evaluation for sure.
Some mental illnesses makes it so you *hate* unfamiliar environments and changes to their surroundings, explains why he wants to keep his house clean and have everything in its place. Also explains why he dislikes having a _new_ neighbor.
my father had brain cancer and he left this world the same way, its a terrible fate and awful to witness the ones you love in that state, I'm sorry and i empathize with you
@@YouPwnLikeAGirlMy late wife had metastatic breast cancer. The last couple of months, it had already spread to her brain. She couldn't communicate at all, just stare at you. It was heartbreaking.
This is all very sad. He knows something isn't right. He wants help but the VA doesn't help these guys. When he failed the cognitive test, he should have been forced to have a caregiver or or into assisted living. Our system is so broken. He even went to hospital the 1st time and they let him go...smh..everyone failed him. Even this officer failed him
There's not really anywhere for him to go, the country has a lack of long-term psychiatric care facilities. Even if you have the money for a private facility, openings are severely limited. The psych ward would have only held him for a week or two, at the very most. Then he'd be back on his own with no support system. Jail is not the answer either.
In the US it's so much easier to walk in to a hospital with a broken arm and get help than walk in with mental health issues and get help. Not to mention how inaccessible preventative care, therapy, is. We really need to improve that.
@@hollaybee I was there, the majority of dudes that "Came back like this" who are violent and unstable, were not even good service members to begin with. The ones who came back with real problems are the ones who abused opioids and drank themselves to death. This guy is just a crazy person, prime example: The silver cross isn't a real award he is pretending.
Those were some stand up officers. They kept everything at a manageable level, talked in a laid back tone and were very courteous. Props to the cops !!
DAMN RIGHT- POOR EYESIGHT, SOMEONE- UNKNOWN- INSISTING EXCEEDINGLY FAST TO OBEY A COMMAND- BULLSHIT- AN ELDERLY MAN STANDING HIS GROUND TO SOMEONE INSIDE- MORE OR LESS AN OPEN DOOR ANYHOW DEMANDING THE MAN IN HIS HOME TO COMPLY - THE COP SAYS HE KNOWS THE GUY..SO HE FINALLY RELEASES THE POPGUN AND STILL GOES TO JAIL..AND THESE FOLKS SAY THE COPS WERE WONDERFUL? OBVIOUSLY THE YOUNGER ENTITLED CROWD- 2ND AMENDMENT LOSERS ON THE WAY CROWD.
@@GaryEtheridge-d5nyah that’s why he himself called and wanted to go to the v a did they bring him?nope so I’m sure he is probably still in jail rotting or back at home waiting to get shot or shoot himself all because the cop didn’t feel he needed help
The first Call for the veteran, who had pulled a gun on his neighbor, broke my heart. You could tell that he was a nice guy, but that he was extremely bipolar. I hope he gets help. He’s probably driven his entire family and friends away from him with his bizarre behavior.
Definitely. I'm a retired veteran myself and just based on his vernacular I can tell he's prior military. I caught this video playing halfway so im not sure if he mentioned he was military in the beginning
Best solution IMO would be to reopen the mental hospitals but pay people enough to make sure they don't abuse the patients. Unfortunately none of our current leaders will ever approve that.
Ah, meth can put you into a state of weirdly coherent delusion, something kind of like this. I’m over a year sober now, but this looks like either an extended stint of meth use, or some crazy mental health issues, or probably a combination of the two.
There is no cure for dementia or the like. He needs 24/7 care. 45 days in jail?? This is what’s wrong with our system! He’s not a criminal, he’s dying. My husband died of dementia. I know what he’s going through. May God bless him. He knows not what he’s doing. 🕊️🙏🏼🕊️
Crazy how the only thing the law knows how to do is threaten jail time, and when that fails it doesn’t know what else to do. I really hope in the future there is better support for people going through this. I can feel his struggle.
@@pechi22 - One main reason is that the default time indicator on here gets more & more general the longer a comment or reply sits there until it just gives years, so when it shows 1 year ago, it could actually be almost 2 years old. (30/May/2024-3:30am🇦🇺EST)
Appleton Police - Compassion - Integrity - Courage written on the cruiser. They showed immense compassion when dealing with this man. EDITED - I had only seen the first part when leaving this comment.
Immense compassion? When they coerced him into signing a statement saying he understood his rights. This allowed them to put him in a courtroom where the judge, the prosecutor and the cops all pretended this man was capable of understanding his rights and standing trial. That's not compassion. The word you're looking for is Evil. Their cars should say" faking compassion while kidnapping mentally ill war veterans and creating false documents to ensure the kidnapping last for 45 days.
@@nicollevandyke5950 for real they didn’t even give off that “I’m a cop I control everything” vibes like 90% do, they give off genuine people who want to help
That cop showed very little concern for the old man then he did for his own well being. Clearly the old guy was messed up in the head but cop doesnt give a fuck. More concerned that he pointed a gun to him.
My heart broke for Brian when he said 'It's Veterrans Day and no one gives a shit about me'. He clearly needs mental health help not thrown behind bars. He fought for peoplles freedom, he doesn't deserve to lose his.
@shazzymapatazzie3117 You are correct but what is the answer? Nothing that "Government" provides (via taxpayer dollars) will help him. My heart also hurts for him.
Its very tricky because people who get put into roles with power to decide who needs help have always abused that power. Oh you voted for Joe.. I dont like Joe I think you should be checked out for everyone's concern.
Regardless of your mental condition you still have to pay your debt to society. I’m sure a part of his sentencing it required psych support he better be happy it wasn’t a longer sentence considering he already had previous cases
This poor man needs some help man. Breaks my heart seeing a guy like this. He don't want to hurt anyone but something is wrong up there. Got me in my feels

Taking him to jail doesn't make any sense at all. He clearly needs immediate psychiatric hospitalization; then live at a full-time, long-term nursing home.
Right, my heart broke when they put him in hand cuffs and his brain just tried to reboot like he didn't understand what was going on.. he was so confused 😭

Especially the second man who is not only a veteran but also a former sheriff.

These officers did an OUTSTANDING JOB in dealing with an individual who is clearly in the middle of a mental health crisis. If only all of America’s officers could slow down and try the calm and compassionate approach... And I realize this isn’t always possible, but sometimes it is and the contact still ends in tragedy.
Please consider how many police interactions there are every day. They professionally deal with an array of incidents. The media, politicians, and activists choose to highlight the negatives only, so people like you incorrectly believe LEO’s are mostly bad.
This dude is incredibly dangerous to his neighborhood. Multiple OWIs, multiple firearms, and completely nuts with nobody to keep him in check. He's a ticking time bomb.
He said he got 9 26:30 OWI's, in my state it's called a DUI. Driving Under the Influence, OWI is Operating a vehicle While Intoxicated. He also said he was an alcoholic. He needs help before he hurts someone. This might end up being one of those cases where he goes off half cocked, because he didn't get any help.
Sorry but medication are garbage, they don't work, it's a scam, he needs therapy (phycologists) two times a week at least, and he needs to get in a diet managed by a professional.
@@Armistead_MacSkyeWell, until he gets a diagnosis and treatment that works I think it’d be best for his and everyone else’s health if he had 24/7 access to medical help and was being monitored.
I worked mental health for 31 years. He def needs an eval for dementia, maybe psychosis...so sad, he thought he was protecting his neighborhood. These officers did their best. I hope he is helped and protected.
This guy is definitely my favorite person from all police surveillance and ‘crime’ videos, he’s such a character. He has a very story but is very endearing. I hope his family quit ignoring him. He needs a lot more care than twice yearly, let alone weekly visits.
Listening to the way Brian is talking, his mind is deteriorating...but he doesn't have the care he needs. He was probably a good guy before this happened...it's really sad.
He is a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, misogynist, then thinks the neighborhood is his, and he thinks he is a persecuted victim because he is a straight white male. He also pulls guns on people he thinks are homeless or don’t belong in “his” neighborhood. What evidence do you see that makes you think he wants to be a good guy? Maybe that he feeds a cat?
Don’t assume over your screen hun your probably very young times have changed he obviously isn’t a rookie he’s been through some stuff back in the day this was normal
@@bacrey I’m not young, and I know what he’s gone through. That’s why I feel sympathetic. The guy wants to take care of his family but knows he can’t. He’s alone, and the reason he keeps repeating his future goals (I’m gonna buy this neighborhood for my kids, I’m gonna teach my son to shoot) is because people who feel hopeless get an increase of serotonin when they tell other people their goals. It builds self confidence. Every one of his delusions and mental incapacities can 100% be corrected through therapy and medication. But America has failed and continues to fail to take care of their veterans and seniors. Beyond everything, he is a victim.

Lovely quiet gentle guy who always tried to help everyone else, but had seen way too much (friends blown up by IEDs, their body parts over him) , used alcohol and weed to "self medicate" until it all fried his brain, so he just couldn't hold his own thoughts together. Really sad and our vets get jack sh*t in the way of proper EARLY help.

This poor man doesn’t need to be alone. His mind is so scrambled. He needs medical attention for the rest of his life.
You're so right. He needs to be with people. I feel bad for him. He deteriorated fast in those months. He's not talking non sense at the end. In the first half he was tripping. But the 2nd video, he's in need of some help. He's articulating way better. But he needs a home. Or to live with people.
The parts where he says "I don't even know where the fuck I'm at!" and "I'm losing my mind!" is a pretty good indicator that you're right.
Real that. He seems to have psychosis in my opinion or some sort of mental disorder
Yeah that’s free. We have free space for the crazies; jail. Because freedom. This is the crappy society we’ve created.

I’m so relieved to see compassion in these comments for beautiful Brian (the first man). I hope he gets love and care. Jail makes ZERO sense in his situation. 😢
What?
I’m happy to see the comments having some compassion. This guy was likely a useful member of society but needs help now.
We're seeing some compassion this time since the subject is an elderly Caucasian male.
As a person who works with black homeless vets, I just wished this compassion was for all people equally. Unfortunately not only do some people use the “mental illness card” for some groups as an excuse assuming that they just can’t be innately evil like everyone else because they’re naturally pure or some sh/t. But mental challenges don’t even come into mind for other groups who are genuinely suffering & deserve some empathy. Case & point in my line of work I see so many Karen’s fake hyperventilate & get taken to our nicest mental facilities yet the veterans I work with are given no patience and jail time for offenses that don’t even effect other people.

I won't lie. This seems like early onset dementia that has spiraled out of control. I have worked in nursing homes for a good chunk of my life, and this guy talks like some of my previous patients.
This guy seems to be having dementia that is worsening. He doesn't even remember the same cop. Even could have been brought on by chronic alcoholism. 😞
I wish they could get him help elsewhere instead of putting him in jail. Clearly, he's not okay and shouldn't be living on his own. It's extremely sad, actually.
Not early onset, hes well on his way, depends on if you watch the guy for a few days, if its Daily or if it comes
like once every few weeks thats early but if its every day he should be in Long Term Care.
I agree. The way he is continually talking and moving from one subject to another, is just like my mom was before she died from dementia.
It's from all those heavily processed foods. The American public grew up on breakfast cereals, pop tarts, and frozen heat and eat meals. Then, to add to the misery, they charcoal grill their meats. If that ain't bad enough, everyone gets a handgun.
What's your opinion on Biden?
I was expecting crazy aggression before meeting brian. I genuinely feel bad for the man. Hes clearly suffering from some kind of dimentia and isnt getting the help he needs. He reminds me of my grandparents who both had it when they were at their cheeriest days but not quite there.
Retired Psychiatrist. From what I saw, I suspect he's an old Bipolar who's hypomanic. Not yet full fledge mania, but close. Very tangential, jumping one nonsensical statement to another. The classic fixation on hygiene, purging, fearful of sleep, extreme paranoia regarding all the neighbors, but then is going to buy up the entire neighborhood. Unable to adapt to any changes in his environment. He has assigned himself the role patrol person staying armed and guarding the neighborhood.
I want to praise the officers. This was probably one of the best, most compassionate interactions I've witnessed. Brian no doubt has a lifelong chronic mental illness. Most likely Bipolar, or Schizoaffective disorder. (Bipolar and Schizophrenia combined. The most severe of all mental illnesses). I suspect it has reached a point where Brian needs to live in a permanent Chronic Mental Illness facility where his basic needs can be provided, shelter, clothing, food and access to personal hygiene as well as medical and mental health treatment. You're not going to cure Brian, but his life and everyone else's can be made a lot more comfortable and safe.
Again: big kudos to the police officers. They were all excellent. This video should be used as a training film.
The rest of the video indicates a decent into dementia. He needs to be in a controlled facility.
I was thinking old man BP too, and I'm NOT a psychiatrist :D, but have long term foster kids that have been DX'd. I've always wondered what they may look like if uncontrolled....
Kudos??
The officers locked up an elderly man who is clearly mentally unwell, not aware of what he is doing one second to the next, and a WAR VETERAN!!
Not to mention, the Tyrants illegally searched his home, by not asking for consent, or obtaining a warrant.
And the old man is the one who called them for help in the first place.
Brian needed a hospital, not JAIL!
What kind of Psychiatrist would agree with jailing mentally ill people, over hospitalizing them??
You’re sick.
Psychiatrist offering a diagnosis yet did not notice it was 2 different Brians? The homes of the Brians appear the be different, the officers are different, the department vehicles are different one is Appleton the other is Tomah, but most obvious is the department logos on the officers uniforms are completely different. So who are you diagnosing, Brian A or Brian B?
@@georgemccune2923Yeah…
He brought out all the memories he had to prove theres an accomplished, good man in there somewhere. Thats actually sad af. 😢

My sentiments exactly 😢
That's deep AF dude
Call his VA hospital! I worked almost 30 years on the psych ward and this is where Brian needs to be (after he dries out) and gets on proper meds. They have social offerings for vets as well. Praying for Brian on Memorial Day weekend!!
This is classic psychosis speech. I agree he needs to be on the psych ward.
How many billions to Ukraine and Israel instead of our veterans again?
Yeah, I'm with ya on this. He needs a hospital, not a jail cell and the cop that is arguing with him needs reprimanded or retraining because Brian has no idea what he is doing or saying. This man needs help, like yesterday.
First you have to prove that he is a veteran !!🇺🇲🪖
Saying that you are a Veteran without proof is called Stolen Valor, he has to have a valid VA ID on his person at all times, I served during the Vietnam War, Air Force 68/72.
This was heartbreaking. When he said nobody gives him shit for veterans day, that put me in tears. I make sure I thank my soldiers in passing, and yearly on veterans day. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE BRIAN.
It was probably a real pleasure to know Brian when he wasn’t suffering so severely from mental illness. My heart goes out to him. I pray he is able to recover with the proper treatment.

I don't think so
@@l.h.2543 yep! I manage mine well!! Amazing treatments now…therapy DOES HELP!!
Getting old is scary enough, having one’s brain betray is the scariest scenario. Sadly, the few underfunded VA hospitals are overwhelmed and no longer able to keep the promises made to those who defended the country. This is one of the results.
The VA is NOT underfunded. Their current budget is 325 BILLION dollars. The VA is mismanaged and is overwhelmed with fraud, waste, and abuse.
Yup. The VA….another fine example of “government-run excellence.”
Yup, this is heartbreaking💔
Thankfully, the VA is able to offer community care referrals now. They can refer patients to a provider outside the VA (private practice, etc), often to a provider of the Veteran’s own choosing. The VA is still as dangerous as ever, but vets have more options now.
This isn't age this is a serious mental illness
Brian stating “I just got up and I’m losing my mind” is heartbreaking.
As a paramedic to see an alerted reality isn’t abnormal. When someone realizes the reality is altered is when the fear sets in for them.
Never gave mind to those that actually know they are losing their minds. I never thought about it like that. I guess in the back of my mind I assumed when you went crazy (for lack of a better term) you just don’t realize but seeing what you said, I realize that some may realize what’s going on and yeah, that’s terrifying.

@@Busterdrag You can get an emergency 72 hour hold, but longer term involuntary hospitalizations typically requires a significant precipitating event before anyone will sign off on it, (which is kind of true even for a 72 hour hold, but they're a lot more common.) Our existing "mental institutions" are fairly limited in scope.
Depending on where in the country you are there may be options for longer term housing for people with severe mental illness; where I work many of my clients would be either homeless or in jail, and are typically mandated into state care through the courts after getting in trouble with the law. Where I work we have "community housing" so it's basically just a couple of small apartment complexes with 24hr on-site staffing, but we can't forcibly require our clients to stay on site.
Where I live we put a lot of our taxes into paying for these kinds of services, compared to most of the country, and even here there are only a couple of places that offer mid-to-long term "lock down" housing, like an institution, but even at dedicated mental hospitals, the end goal is usually to transition people into community housing, as it's considered more humane. Other places might not even have community housing at all, so again, you have people who are either homeless, in jail, or people who are barely staying afloat living on their own like our friend Brian here, and as a result are often terrorizing neighbors and using up police resources, instead of having dedicated social workers to be a buffer for some of the escalations in their behavior.

DAMN RIGHT- POOR EYESIGHT, SOMEONE- UNKNOWN- INSISTING EXCEEDINGLY FAST TO OBEY A COMMAND- BULLSHIT-
AN ELDERLY MAN STANDING HIS GROUND TO SOMEONE INSIDE- MORE OR LESS AN OPEN DOOR ANYHOW DEMANDING THE MAN IN HIS HOME TO COMPLY - THE COP SAYS HE KNOWS THE GUY..SO HE FINALLY RELEASES THE POPGUN AND STILL GOES TO JAIL..AND THESE FOLKS SAY THE COPS WERE WONDERFUL? OBVIOUSLY THE YOUNGER ENTITLED CROWD- 2ND AMENDMENT LOSERS ON THE WAY CROWD.
It sure is refreshing compared to how some of those hopped up cops act. Just aggressive and authoritative from the get go. Even over minor crap.
@@GaryEtheridge-d5nyah that’s why he himself called and wanted to go to the v a did they bring him?nope so I’m sure he is probably still in jail rotting or back at home waiting to get shot or shoot himself all because the cop didn’t feel he needed help
The first Call for the veteran, who had pulled a gun on his neighbor, broke my heart. You could tell that he was a nice guy, but that he was extremely bipolar. I hope he gets help. He’s probably driven his entire family and friends away from him with his bizarre behavior.
Not bipolar, he's schizophrenic.
Nice? Addressing everyone by their country? The Chinese? The Iraq? That lets me know he’s a racist. But you’re white sooo, yeah, “nice” .
He talks as if he has dementia too, keeps talking about chinese hedgehogs and drinking water as some kind of indian ritual
This is so sad. This country needs to help its elders and veterans. As well as the mentally ill. We need more health facilities and not prisons.
Definitely. I'm a retired veteran myself and just based on his vernacular I can tell he's prior military. I caught this video playing halfway so im not sure if he mentioned he was military in the beginning
its benzo abuse, im sure, nothing "ill" about him.
Best solution IMO would be to reopen the mental hospitals but pay people enough to make sure they don't abuse the patients. Unfortunately none of our current leaders will ever approve that.
Yeah well when you have the mentality I’ll president that we have in office that wont happen
@@jdsk8er98 the GOP closed the mental hospitals, has their policy changed?
This guy couldn't have fasted that much with that belly 😅
Brian seems to be going through a lot. I don't even know what it could be, he is all over the place and weirdly coherent.
weed induced phsycosis maybe?
Ah, meth can put you into a state of weirdly coherent delusion, something kind of like this. I’m over a year sober now, but this looks like either an extended stint of meth use, or some crazy mental health issues, or probably a combination of the two.
@@LukaGG-lp2hxyea probaly Weed isnt as harmless as most think
@@Lueckenphiller😂
@LukaGG-lp2hx not a thing.
There is no cure for dementia or the like. He needs 24/7 care. 45 days in jail?? This is what’s wrong with our system! He’s not a criminal, he’s dying. My husband died of dementia. I know what he’s going through. May God bless him. He knows not what he’s doing. 🕊️🙏🏼🕊️
Crazy how the only thing the law knows how to do is threaten jail time, and when that fails it doesn’t know what else to do. I really hope in the future there is better support for people going through this. I can feel his struggle.
He definitely belongs in jail.
Exactly my thoughts. Jail is a temporary solution. This man has to battle his demons without help. Our country is embarrassing.
He will probably be committed during or after his jail time
@@10Wk3y84R There should be NO jail time!! He’s out of his mind, only going to get worse!
Dementia is debilitating on many levels. He needs professional help.
He certainly doesn't need to be allowed to keep his firearms.

These officers were so gentle and understanding with Brian that warmed my ❤️
Appleton Police - Compassion - Integrity - Courage written on the cruiser. They showed immense compassion when dealing with this man. EDITED - I had only seen the first part when leaving this comment.
Immense compassion? When they coerced him into signing a statement saying he understood his rights. This allowed them to put him in a courtroom where the judge, the prosecutor and the cops all pretended this man was capable of understanding his rights and standing trial. That's not compassion. The word you're looking for is Evil. Their cars should say" faking compassion while kidnapping mentally ill war veterans and creating false documents to ensure the kidnapping last for 45 days.
Wish every department was like them smh
Exactly what I was thinking. Not
Only good officers bit gentlemen.
@@nicollevandyke5950 for real they didn’t even give off that “I’m a cop I control everything” vibes like 90% do, they give off genuine people who want to help
That cop showed very little concern for the old man then he did for his own well being. Clearly the old guy was messed up in the head but cop doesnt give a fuck. More concerned that he pointed a gun to him.
My heart broke for Brian when he said 'It's Veterrans Day and no one gives a shit about me'. He clearly needs mental health help not thrown behind bars. He fought for peoplles freedom, he doesn't deserve to lose his.
I mean to be fair, he treats everyone like garbage so of course no one wants to deal with him
This truly sad
People also don’t deserve to get a gun pointed at them and have a chance to have their life ended for no reason
once he's arrested and goes before a judge, he'll get help. Court-ordered, thats the way it works.
@shazzymapatazzie3117 You are correct but what is the answer? Nothing that "Government" provides (via taxpayer dollars) will help him. My heart also hurts for him.
Loneliness is the worst. Our veterans were subjected to hell and now we’re seeing the fallout.
Yes this is very sad that the ones that fought for our freedom is now fighting for his freedom mentally ❤️🤍💙🫶🏻🇺🇸
Americans are lonely and here in India we are suffering from overcrowding😂😂
How do you know he was subjected to hell?
He needs help,the meds aren't working,he isn't a veteran,if he was he would be asking to go to the VA
@Negan-lo7yr Thats actually really idiotic to say
They gave him 45 days in jail that's the problem with our country instead of helping somebody they put you in jail
What was that man’s name in the yellow shirt
Its very tricky because people who get put into roles with power to decide who needs help have always abused that power. Oh you voted for Joe.. I dont like Joe I think you should be checked out for everyone's concern.
45 days isn’t anything, but they do need to show the person what they did is wrong, but still help them, I agree with that part.
Regardless of your mental condition you still have to pay your debt to society. I’m sure a part of his sentencing it required psych support he better be happy it wasn’t a longer sentence considering he already had previous cases
@@LilJessye94 the guy needs mental help not jail what are you a nazi
Poor guy vet or no vet he deserves help and his family to help him. He deserves better health support.
@Cchv5hk
More so BECAUSE hes a vet and risked ALL for you and yours
drunk drivers with 6 convictions dont deserve shit.
This is so sad. Hes being tortured mentally. Realizing your losing your mind and helpless to fix it is hell.
Thank you Brian, for reminding us all of the importance of water.
This poor man needs some help man. Breaks my heart seeing a guy like this. He don't want to hurt anyone but something is wrong up there. Got me in my feels
Officer: “Are you Dave?”
Me: “Dave’s not here.”
Same thing I was thinking...
Dave’s not here, man
Lol
No I’M Dave
Hahahaha that’s a while ago!
Man, this is one of the saddest videos I have seen in a while. This man doesn’t need to be living alone and unsupervised. It makes me worried about aging without kids to help take care of me.
Try to make friends with a neighbor.
I feel sorry for him, too. I don’t know why but being older and lonely is a thing.
Exactly!!
@@DKisOk Yeah, and not one who will jokingly tell the cops to kill you when you’re an old, sick person who needs help. I was disgusted at the first guy’s demeanor.
@@scottierasberry4449Right? The neighbour talking like that was pretty sad, but on the other hand he doesn't know much about this guy's mental state and for all he knew the guy could have flipped and shot him at any moment. People who are like this are a sad thing to see. They are also unpredictable. You don't know what he was like before an authority figure came along.
Taking him to jail doesn't make any sense at all. He clearly needs immediate psychiatric hospitalization; then live at a full-time, long-term nursing home.
Right, my heart broke when they put him in hand cuffs and his brain just tried to reboot like he didn't understand what was going on.. he was so confused 😭
You mean the hospitals that WILL NOT TAKE VIOLENT PATIENTS and the asylums that the LEFTIST DEMOCRATS forced to close in the 1970s.
Nope, in-patient mental health care facility is the place for mentally ill people. Nursing homes don't have the capabilities to care for mentally ill
It is very sad...
This is why we need police reform, this isn't right. He needs to be put in a facility. 💔
Why is the cop in the second video berating the old guy. He’s begging for help and the cop is giving him hell like he is in his proper mind.
He was prolly a lil shook from having a gun pointed at him
He's in and out. He probably can't hear through all the noise in his head. We will be seeing more of this as our country is destroyed. Thank you, government, liberals, and Israel.
Maybe he knows Brian a bit better than we do....
That's pathetic how this country just turns it's back our veterans like that.. the poor guy needs to go to a mental hospital, not to jail SMH. These cops are useless and the system is broken.
@@JStock1032it's the same cop and guy from the first half of this video.... How no one realizes this is beyond me but sure shows how unobservant and brainless people are
Damn. The second guy made me cry. His awareness of his condition was heartbreaking. I wish cops were better equipped to handle situations like this. Poor guy needed serious professional help and care
The cops were actually really calm and nice with him.They're only doing what they're allowed to.The law has to be the one that pays attention.Gets him into a proper home with proper care.Unfortunately this is out of the police hands. And unfortunately this country sucks about mental health and elderly care.
It’s the same guy
@@jordiflower Two different Brians in two different towns.
@@outcasknight that are both veterans in similar houses and look identical? The officer was the same in both and said “remember me”
@@outcasknightit’s the same guy, they even say it in the video.
This is so sad. This man needs help. Heck, I think he knows he needs help. No one seems to be getting him the right help 😢
Brian should be taken to hospital with his history of stroke, a fall, head injury and not able to make the decision to ask for medical.
Not to mention his need for water...for his life
Kidney infections in the elderly can also cause confusion and extreme thirst.
It’s about time for brain to go
Probably has undiagnosed dementia too. Normally when they get upset it makes everything 20x worse, especially when their environment and routine change suddenly.
And to all the veterans and the ones struggling, you are loved and appreciated. Thank you for your service and sacrifices.
Thank you for that. I’m not a veteran but these guys deserve our support.
Total Support For Our Veterans. Happy Memorial Day!!
❤So many vets are suffering. Some end up taking their own lives. Casualties of war.
He is insane, this has nothing to do with service ... he cracked and wasn't kept out of society. Period
@@KMaybe-tw8wc Ah yes demonize mental illness and/or dementia. Both men in this video need help but they’re still people, they still deserve dignity. Especially the second man who is not only a veteran but also a former sheriff. I don’t see jail helping them at all, perhaps an assisted living facility where they can be monitored but still have some freedom and not just ‘removing them from society’
These officers did an OUTSTANDING JOB in dealing with an individual who is clearly in the middle of a mental health crisis. If only all of America’s officers could slow down and try the calm and compassionate approach... And I realize this isn’t always possible, but sometimes it is and the contact still ends in tragedy.
Yea? How calm can you be with a lunatic pointing a gun at you ?
Please consider how many police interactions there are every day. They professionally deal with an array of incidents. The media, politicians, and activists choose to highlight the negatives only, so people like you incorrectly believe LEO’s are mostly bad.
Problem is 3 quarter of America is mentally disturbed.
Yeah these officers did great, so calm and patient.
2 different individuals
I've been following you forever and your videos do not disappoint!! Thanks!
Needs a hospital rather than a cell, be a revolving door without medical intervention.
This dude is incredibly dangerous to his neighborhood. Multiple OWIs, multiple firearms, and completely nuts with nobody to keep him in check. He's a ticking time bomb.
Yeah, But not acknowledging, that he also NEEDS HELP?!
He said he got 9 26:30 OWI's, in my state it's called a DUI. Driving Under the Influence, OWI is Operating a vehicle While Intoxicated. He also said he was an alcoholic. He needs help before he hurts someone. This might end up being one of those cases where he goes off half cocked, because he didn't get any help.
@Tiefenliebe-aka-DJMOK umbrella that's what "with nobody to keep him in check means) smdh
100%!!!
Decent folks with firearms can be a blessing for a neighborhood, but a guy like him is unbearable dangerous
This guy doesn’t need jail time, he needs medication and therapy
Well the gun usage requires jail time sadly then after he can go to the hospital.
Exactly!!!!! He needs help. Blame this on the government.
@@katlynn744the government is responsible for dementia now?
Sorry but medication are garbage, they don't work, it's a scam, he needs therapy (phycologists) two times a week at least, and he needs to get in a diet managed by a professional.
Tranqs and antipsychotics will do squat.
Jailing him won't help he needs actual help in and out of jail isn't going to help this
You should be a judge
“I’m losing my mind” this man reminds me of my grandfather and it breaks my damn heart.
It really does break my heart too. This beautiful man. So so sad😢❤
This man needs some serious help… this is tough to watch. I hope this man gets the help he needs.
Brian needs to be in a home of some sort with 24/7 watch
He may be only having an episode. He may need medication and regular medical care, not "24/7 watch."
@@Armistead_MacSkyeWell, until he gets a diagnosis and treatment that works I think it’d be best for his and everyone else’s health if he had 24/7 access to medical help and was being monitored.
@Mavve69 Because you're a Doctor? 😂
@@Armistead_MacSkye no, because he has common sense! Let me guess, you're a firm believer in D.E.I.?
@@Armistead_MacSkye No I just have common sense.
Did they fail to recognize he has issues at every step of the process?
I worked mental health for 31 years. He def needs an eval for dementia, maybe psychosis...so sad, he thought he was protecting his neighborhood. These officers did their best. I hope he is helped and protected.
The guy outside with the hat? That looked like bipolar, based on experience, possibly schitzo.
This type of person is the last one that needs access to a firearm. Very scary.
BUT HE HAS A RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS.
He will be alright
@@oldedwardian1778 Does he? How are the laws in there that let mentally ill people have arms? Thats crazy man.
@@Zergling. I was being SARCASTIC.
THE 2nd amendment only makes the problem of gun violence WORSE, NOT BETTER.
@@oldedwardian1778 He didn't have bear arms though, he had weapons...
This guy is definitely my favorite person from all police surveillance and ‘crime’ videos, he’s such a character. He has a very story but is very endearing. I hope his family quit ignoring him. He needs a lot more care than twice yearly, let alone weekly visits.
Listening to the way Brian is talking, his mind is deteriorating...but he doesn't have the care he needs. He was probably a good guy before this happened...it's really sad.
You can tell he wants to be a good person. He needs help.
I thought the same thing; he seems very kind.
Yes! Please help Brian!!!🙏🏼😭🔐💯
He is a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, misogynist, then thinks the neighborhood is his, and he thinks he is a persecuted victim because he is a straight white male.
He also pulls guns on people he thinks are homeless or don’t belong in “his” neighborhood.
What evidence do you see that makes you think he wants to be a good guy?
Maybe that he feeds a cat?
Don’t assume over your screen hun your probably very young times have changed he obviously isn’t a rookie he’s been through some stuff back in the day this was normal
@@bacrey I’m not young, and I know what he’s gone through. That’s why I feel sympathetic. The guy wants to take care of his family but knows he can’t. He’s alone, and the reason he keeps repeating his future goals (I’m gonna buy this neighborhood for my kids, I’m gonna teach my son to shoot) is because people who feel hopeless get an increase of serotonin when they tell other people their goals. It builds self confidence. Every one of his delusions and mental incapacities can 100% be corrected through therapy and medication. But America has failed and continues to fail to take care of their veterans and seniors. Beyond everything, he is a victim.
