Hey man, contact me personally. Not into all the RUclips stuff, just watch. I have a lot more information!
Good job! Good luck!!!
@@leesenger3094 thanks.
@Hubert Harrison look on RUclips " Michael Wood v Chad Eubanks".
Man, what the hell is up with Ohio? Coulda sworn I watched something from San Joaquin just recently on Ohio cops.
That DA should be fired immediately. Absolute disgrace to the office.
... fired upon.
The DA can only be fired by the voters. They get a chance every four years on Election Day
Why?....the D.A. is the one who immediately dropped all charges.
Say it with me, Officers: "Ignorance of the law *is not an excuse for violating it."*
They even say in court that our ignorance of a violation is no excuse or defense.
Yet, it’s an excuse for them. If they harass/arrest us for something they think is illegal, they’re protected, the majority of the time.
That's why qualified immunity should be abolished and these tyrants instead should spend months leaning about the laws and constitution before graduating the police academy.
I went to court the judge told me there is no ignorance of the law I was arrested once and I asked the police officer if he actually knew the law he was arresting me for he said no I don't have to know the law it's not my job to know the lost my job to arrest people and it's the court systems job to figure out whether I broke the law or not pretty convenient
@John Doe - Proof read at all?
The Clark County Sheriff's Office is convinced it did nothing wrong. They admit that they don't think violating people's constitutional rights is wrong.
That's one of the many problems that they have. Our employees are telling US they did nothing wrong. Unbelievable.
That pretty much is an admission of collective guilt. Perfect for a Rico act charge.
The real fact is allow these police officers really don't know about constitutional law, constitutional law keeps them from arresting people for the petty s***. The problem is taxpayers pay for these violations instead of police officers. There is billions of dollars paid out every year all over the world, most of them from police who don't know constitutional law
Yep, and they are allowed to continue on doing what they are doing while the tax payers get punished for their actions. Thousands of police departments are corrupt like this across the US but nothing ever gets done about it. I’m tired of this bs.
@@skillethead15 you're so right and watching a lawsuit at this moment right now with a police officer, this guy got 200,000, I mean the money that they let these police getaway with one incident costs more money than some people will make in a lifetime and this is just one case it's ridiculous Congress need to do something about this.
"Disorderly conduct", "resisting arrest", and "obstruction" are the go to for corrupt cops to unlawfully arrest anyone and put them through the Injustice system.
They also love Trespassing and breeching the peace.
"resisting arrest" is an oxymoron when there was no crime committed! 😲😲😲
Their knife in your back.
@@wallychambe1587and especially when they don’t tell you that they’re arresting you, so you naturally resist their unexpected force
You forgot their go to assertions of smelling something, hearing slurred speech, seeing bloodshot eyes, and the "stop resisting"- that one I've seen them do before there was even a chance to happen, like they knew they were going to use excessive force and have learned to just say this every time to use as a blanket cya.
This guy literally had the cops called on him because of *a shirt.* Further proving our first amendment right is only valid sometimes.
We don’t have any rights
That’s an oversimplification man. It’s not just cause the shirt. It’s the fact that it’s a small town where everyone knows everyone. He’s done audits before. Cops know him by first name. Lots of variables
@@davidfreer2166 being an auditor doesnt mean he has less rights? What does being a small town have to do with police putting thier jobs over thier egos. Dont make excuses for public servants who take power from the people and abuse them with it.
@@dionreeves5716 you can’t read. I wasn’t defending anyone, I was simply pointing out to the OP that the cops weren’t called SOLELY for the reason they specified. That’s what we call hearsay and that’s also what we call bias and how rumors start, I was simply trying to open someone’s eyes to the contexts of the circumstance. I said absolutely nothing about violating rights or was right or wrong. Don’t put words in my mouth and don’t assume you know me based on a 100 word RUclips comment.
@@davidfreer2166 I'm from a small-town there is more than 50 people there that wasn't a small town that was a medium-sized town with a bunch of stuck-up Pricks small towns don't have people like that and they don't have more than one cop because the small town where I'm from still only has just one cop and he wouldn't even showed up for that s***
QUALIFIED IMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE OUTLAWED ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY!
While I agree with this in theory, it doesn't work in reality. I'm sure there could be some more substantial and definitive laws put on the books regarding qualified immunity and when and how it is allowed or denied. If it is more clear then both the citizens and the police would know EXACTLY what ramifications their actions will have on their private pocketbooks.
The reason we can't totally get rid of qualified immunity is that no one would want to become a LEO. Whether we like them or not, they are a vital and necessary cog in the wheel of not only justice but society as well. It puts the good cops at too much of a disadvantage as they could and probably would be sued for nearly any interaction with the public whether justified or not.
You would have people literally trying to poke and prod the police into any sort of confrontation that would allow them to be able to sue them and more easily win money from them for literally no violations or minor violations on their part. Insurance companies and/or the officers themselves would end up settling outside of court for the fear of losing in court for issues that should never have been allowed to be in a court.
@@thomasjoseph5876 WELL...........LESS QUALIFIED THEN! LOL
@@j.t.taylorjr.7264 Absolutely. While there are really too many laws on the books for LEOs to know them all, they should be able to know and understand what they can and cannot do in regard to the Rights and Freedoms of the citizens.
If LEOs do something that goes against and violates our civil rights, then they have to be ready to pay the price, and part of that price should be the removal of qualified immunity. Same thing if they do something to any citizen that would be deemed "illegal" and the average citizen could be charged with a crime or sued.
The only time they should get qualified immunity is when they saved someone's life, and accidentally hurt or injured somebody in the process.
There might have been a time where cops were so virtuous and attempted to preserve peace and Liberty that they deserved qualified immunity, but the cops today don't deserve the time of day
@Thomas Joseph if you can't do your job without being protected then you shouldn't be doing that job
The fair grounds belongs to the people of the community. The director needs to be terminated, and the officers who did not stop the director from putting hands on him need to be suspended.
agreed , i wonder if this (director) is still working there ?
A gun, a badge and hurt feelings is the most dangerous thing walking around for citizens to face nowadays.
Can I suggest you start the sentence with, "An idiot with a ............."
Respect Mr Wood for standing up for his rights. The fact that he had to seek an appeal shows how some Judges, who have time to research the law, can still be as corrupt as local Law Enforcement.
And I agree
Surely not in the USA they're there because they've proved themselves - right? Frightening that maybe nepotism got them there or money or crooked dealing who knows... But certainly not knowledgeable enough to understand Mr Woods rights.... I mean the cops let the manager ban him trespass him from public property sheesh... Good on you Mr Woods. Be safe from Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿
I've seen that UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL. Some of these judges may as well wear coward cop uniforms being that they are in LOCK STEP with the blue isis gang
Thank you.
@@slowfingers4026 Rest assured, they KNEW, they just didn't give a rats ass. They are more concerned about staying in the good graces of the coward cops as opposed to standing up for the citizens. This is VERY COMMON here in Amerikkka-SS
Qualified immunity must go. Everywhere in the world.
Here in Australia they don't really have it. If they make an unlawful arrest or use excessive force then they are liable just like an ordinary citizen. Unfortunately the judges just give them a slap with a wet bus ticket so the reality is that it is more about limiting their career prospects than full justice.
I think this is only in the land of the so called free that Qualified Immunity is a government free pass and the police just received it a few years ago because they lowered the IQ standards for hiring !
Actually, Qualified immunity is extremely rare in free countries, but why would you believe that we live in a truly free country?
@@jonahbrown4674 I'm not sure about every state but in my state in Australia there is a separate commision to handle all but the most trivial complaints about police. They are underfunded, but at least with serious cases, there is a separate government body to fight police corruption.
@@davexb6595 Here they just investigate themselves and decide they done nothing wrong !
NEVER FORGET, THESE BLUE LINE THUGS WOULD BEAT YOU TO DEATH IF ORDERED.
They don't need to be ordered, they would do it all day long if they could get away with it without being ordered to
Or if the opportunity arises without risk to their own freedom.
Even when a court of law states the officers were wrong, the department still digs in. Simply unbelievable.
Huge EEEEEGGGGOOOOO'S
Because they enjoy the hate. That's part of the power trip
Very CULT like.
"HES STILL TALKING! HES STILL TALKING!!"
Almost like they've never heard of the Constitution before...
"Somebody shut him up." -Bill Hicks
That's code for he's still not respectin my authoritie!
Feckless incompetence!
Most probably never read the constitution
@@jessegolden3589 read or not, we all know about freedom of speech.
This is my home county. The same cop from the video ended up shooting our towns photographer while he took pictures of a traffic stop because his “camera looked like a gun”
The cop ended up testing positive for steroids and it also came to light that he wasn’t even certified to be carrying a gun. To this day nothing has been done about it. It’s crazy stuff man, you guys should do a story on it.
What was the officers name? Would like to look it up and county/state
Yes, please give me more details for research purposes
Andy Grimm was the photographer shot, It was in New Carlisle Ohio which is Clark County Ohio. I forgot the cops name, but turns out he later popped for steroids and wasn’t even certified to carry a gun!
Oops I guess I already said that but that was crazy. I’ll try to find a link
Wow!
When have you ever heard a police department say, “we were wrong in how we responded. We apologize for our actions and we will take steps to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.”
Amen!
Rarer than rocking horse dung!!😂
When you break your OATH to the Constitution you ABSOLUTELY deserve the MAXIMUM PENALTY!
The lower courts that delayed this case are corrupt. I'm proud of this guy for sticking with it after hitting years of road blocks. It's really exposing the corruption of our failing justic... I mean court system.
Dirty DA's need to be put down.
Can anything be done about the lower court, they always said with cops, what can we do?
@@avakrug4349 Collect data on elected judges, and find out what percentage of cases against cops are delayed compared to other cases. Present the data to the public in time for the next election...
@@avakrug4349 Yes, they are elected positions. Find out who's funding their campaigns, it's all public information, and post it everywhere come election season. Judges who's campaigns are financed by police unions, are going to side with police in court. Stop electing crooked judges. That's how you fix it.
Judges & prosecutors are just as bad as the cops. A judge convicted me of DUI even though I passed the breath test with ALL ZEROS. No blood test. No evidence at all. Same judge was related to my parents neighbors & was always making up BS about me. He once accused me of something that isn't even illegal!!!! But told my mom when I was a teenager that he was gonna put me in jail for 6 months anyway. But He didn't. Another time he gave me the max fine for underage drinking, plus 3 days in jail. They put all the local court cases in our local newspaper, & I've never seen anyone get the max fine for underage drinking, & NEVER EVER seen anyone go to jail for it. Only me. People usually just get a $50 fine & nothing else. My fine was like $200 I think, plus the 3 days in jail. Crazy. He was a total scumbag. He's burning in hell now if such a place exists.
Qualified immunity is 100% unconstitutional, example;
18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law.
you're correct, qualified immunity was unconstitutionally manufactured out of thin air by the taco supreme court with no constitutional basis for its existence..
Marbury v Madison anything repugnant to the constitution is void!
how do you deprive someone of something they are already deprived of
NYC got rid of the qualified immunity and the piggies are now behaving better.
@@ocsob007 Terry v Ohio is a source of many of this nations policing problems
And I agree
Mr. Wood is a real American Hero.
i think that fair official should be charged with harassment and stalking. that entire time he never shut up, kept egging it on, and persisted on following mr. wood throwing unnecessary statements towards him. that man gets an F- in my book.
Sue all involved for $1,500,000 each Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law..
And then sue them individually in civil court
@@thomasryan2679 ? I clearly said sue the individuals, after he gets done with the initial suit?
5 1/2 years and no resolution?! Our Justice system has a HUGE problem.
Functions exactly as designed.
Real justice can be had at 1200fps.
Part of the problem is that we don't have a justice system anymore.
Pretty sure he got 155k and they paid his lawyer 30k too.
Deputy- 'Get out of my house!'
Guy- 'This isnt your house, its public property.'
Deputy: Im not talkin to yuu, get out of my house!"
That child isnt even capable of thinking critically 😂
I don't even think that was a cop, it was the director of the fairgrounds or something
I just cannot stand these “my town” cops. The irony of being paid by taxpayers in the town you claim possession of, and using that as a means to harass those citizens. It’s absolutely revolting
My grounds? Leave my grounds? This is the entire problem. These public servants believe that public property somehow has become their property. He has no more authority there than the guy getting thrown out. It's corruption and grift. The manager is more guilty of the crime than the victim.
This happens ALOT. just because they're on the clock, they wanna act like public property (probably paid for and maintained by Mr Woods tax dollars) belongs to them and they have power over everyone attending. It's a straight up ego power trip. Thin skinned butthurt cops..
This is the behaviour we see repeated over and over public servants saying this is “ my building “ “ my house “ cops saying this is “ my highway “ “my town “ and it’s not just a turn of phrase they mean it , they believe it .
James Comey, his FBI crew, Hillary Clinton, Communist voting James Brennan and the CIA resemble your remarks.
I'm a retired attorney so I don't know these recent cases, but when I was in law school there was a famous case from the 1970s in which someone wore a jacket that had "F^^^ the Draft" written on it when he entered the courthouse. He was arrested and charged with public indecency. SCOTUS ruled that although the public and police may not like what is said or written, regardless the 1st Amendment absolutely protects this speech, especially if you disagree with it. This police department is incredible and even worse is that the government attorney pursued the case and that the lower courts threw out this case. If you want another case on limits on free speech, look up case of the owner of Hustler versus Jerry Fallwell.
@@rabbit251 Exactly , why has the lower court judge not been impeached or whatever the process is for him directly ruling against the constitution ?
His 'crime' was contempt of cop, plain and simple. I hope all his legal endeavors succeed.
You can’t just prosecute somebody because your feelings are hurt.
I see it as contempt of fair director. The cops just kissed his ass.
The settlememt of the case has to include the firing and charging of all the deputies involved. Their actions are not just civil rights violations, but being "under color of law" they are felonies.
Every one of them might as well have taken an oath to defend a coloring book.
Qualified Immunity has perpetuated bad behavior in the law enforcement of this country. Advocate to remove it and hold law enforcement accountable.
The creep that claimed the town and everything in it was HIS needs to be taken down hard.
Little pecker problems has him like....
Its like watching Boss Hogg, you yanks need to start going after cops and D. A. S ludges etc if they cant do the job get rid.
Oh no he's still talking!!! Get him!!
As the Judge once told me when I was 15 and got a ticket for riding my bike while wearing headphones, "Ignorance of the law is NO excuse"
The lower court who ruled in favor of the officers scare the living day lights out of me. It took a higher court to tell the lower court you got THIS COMPLETELY WRONG. UNBELIEVABLE.
The question is WAS the JUDGE REMOVED from the Court.
It's absurd and sad....our nation is in trouble and it feels like that's an understatement
Sue the lower court! Oh wait, judges enjoy absolute immunity.
Absolute immunity should be changed to qualified immunity, so judges can be held accountable for their fugg ups.
imagine how scary it is then the high court makes a ruling in favor of police BS. Like the supreme court ruling cops can now shoot hostages.
@@charlestontouch the citizens of USA are just like every other proud nation, proud of their nation. Unfortunately we all suffer the same political terrorism from our governments at all levels.
The really insane part of this is that, as of my latest understanding, Dean Blair has not only not been charged with anything he's still running the fair! What a truly disgusting excuse for a human being.
Start a boycott
@@bigred1247 I did, a long time ago. Join it.
wouldn't it be funny if a whole squad of people showed up wearing "fuck the police" shirts.
Seems like we are getting more like Russia every day. Cops can do whatever they want with no repercussions.
@@sunnydaze2359 Just like CHINA.
Say it with me, Officers: "Ignorance of the law is not an excuse for violating it." QUALIFIED IMMUNITY NEEDS TO BE OUTLAWED ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY!
"He's still talking." And there lies your intentions, making speech you don't like illegal.
Exactly! Hearing that was a BIG red flag.
He needs to learn to leave when you're told to leave.
@@KrillixKai he was leaving. Didn’t you watch the video?
@@KrillixKai and you're part of the problem. Just giving in because it's a police officer and you think they can do no wrong means you've given up your rights long ago.
@@KrillixKai submissive much?
"He's still talking while walking, what do we do"????
Since when is any speech a violation, if he's just stating an opinion, or asking questions,
This is a perfect example of ignorance and intolerance of our constitutional principles and freedoms!!!!!
lol, 99.9% of cops out there are clueless about the Constitution, or even what it means
@@neckarsulme they aren't clueless. They just don't care. Because it interferes with their job.
@@INYB I think they are that clueless. I bet they would all agree that freedom of speech is a god given right, but at the same time they obviously believe they have the power and authority to overrule god and revoke that right from you. They are either saying they have more authority than god or they are engaging in doublethink to the highest level possible. A person would have to be pretty damn clueless in either case.
@@tubehound69 well said
they tried to say those were fighting words and rhe judge said nope… just free speech. the police were very vindictive and didn’t do their job that day.
While we are removing qualified immunity, we also need to change the law to allow for civil suit against politicians that willfully violate their oath to PROTECT the CONSTITUTION and BILL OF RIGHTS.
Thank God that justice is happening!
Once Wood volunteered to leave their was no reason to keep the executive director with him, having him there only escalated the situation. If the police wanted to do something (but didn’t know what to do) they should kept those two apart.
Good point.
Oh boy here we go again. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!!!!
Look at all those sheeple just looking around like ummmmm! Lmao. Funny now….
free speech, human rights and constitution are the lefties worst enemy
This is a perfect example of how a public official enforces his feelings, did you notice the fairground manager kept saying this was his property, his house, his way. This has got to stop people died for the right of free speech and the freedoms that we have and these people can't stand it when you invoke those rights. Those police officers May soon understand what it's like and they're going to feel the sting of the Court when they violate someone's rights, this is why police officers should know the law before they act. This is one time when police officers should have made a phone call to their district attorney and asked a question.
@@spicydiarrhea5662 what...? This is sarcasm, right?
@@spicydiarrhea5662 How so? Just another projection of a Reich-wing bigot
It's a crying shame that the people who are charged with enforcing our Constitution and Laws do not understand them at all.
Not only is his speech protected, but if two men are having a loud argument in public, how does only one get arrested?
The fact that the department still defends their actions is troubling to me and indicates as an entire department, they are unqualified to do their jobs. This seems to be a case for the Justice Dept. to step in and take over the department, since the department has chosen to admit that they are either unaware of the constitution or unwilling to support it. They have admitted guilt to the public.
We need our lawmakers that we put in Washington to step in and control our sheriffs and police departments and make sure that they are serving and protecting the communities as they should they have even started taking to serve and protect banners off of their police cars
That’s why I hate nepotism! My county is literally ran by two families. Almost every “job” is a family member or married into. From the county sheriff to the county attorney. And they cover up everything for each other constantly. They enjoy breaking the law and violating our rights daily. What little rights we have left. They treat the law as if it’s just there to protect them and their interests. Needs to change! This is exactly what we need. These people to held accountable for their actions as well!
@@jasonficek8221 wow, that sounds backward aF!!
Sadly this is how departments train them
Your comment almost sounds like Merrick Garland's Justice Dept. does anything besides collect paychecks.
I bet everyone of those cops are like “F-K” once they heard their QI was dismissed.

@@richarddavis2961 agreed. Soon it will be time to pay the piper.
@@FL_Taco352 not soon enough
this guy deserves to take everything he can from them up to and including their retirement funds...
@Handsome Wade Brody Jr. lol nice vocabulary
A woman seriously called 911 to complain about his shirt??
What I learned here is the manager doesn't have qualified immunity. So . sue the guy who called the cops. Why. They don't have qualified immunity.
Notice how long it’s taken this one to progress through the courts? Happened in 2016 and it’s now finally making its way to court to be tried!
yes. I accept the cops couldn't attend any court proceedings because they were either learning the US Constitution, violating other Peoples rights or boo-hooing to their union officials because the guy was performing a first amendment protected activity.
This is worth the wait. I don’t agree with him wearing that shirt but I will defend his right to wear it no matter what the messsge was. That old guy who didn’t like it caused those police to do stupid things. When you do stupid things you get stupid prizes. The police should sue that msm for forcing them to do something stupid. It probably won’t hold up but it’s a good messsge to snow flakes.
Thank you Lack luster. I like your channel.
@@gracieg7601 that idiot in charge of the fairgrounds is just that, an idiot. He made the police do nothing more, than what they already wanted to do. The cops could have called the prosecuting attorney for the county, before making any contact with this gentleman, and would have been told to keep their distance, or we will all be paying out a fortune, but they didn't call, they acted on their feelings, and here we are, going to pay for all of these idiots actions. I can hope that it being dragged out this long that he gets a huge bundle, because he deserves it, and someone has to teach these clowns, the boundaries of their authority, because their feelings have none.
I get angry emails daily, because cases reported on are left "open ended". I point them to videos like this to show litigation often takes 3-10 years.
You are one of the few channels that keep us updated on pending litigation. Thanks for that.
THAT is why I subbed Lackluster
I love this channel and Audit the Audit when it comes to this stuff
It is the MOST important part! having your rights violated and not pursuing legal action is basically telling the police "keep doing it". It is worse than not going out at all imho.
@@LeCheeZy I disagree, this guy waited for 6 years to get a just result, Now before, during and after do you think these scumbags changed their behavior? NOT A CHANCE. The money doesn't come from them so what do they care about legal action? Imagine someone come to your home everyday and eats your dinner and someone else picks up the tab. But under the same circumstances YOU get presented with the bill, I'd bet real money YOU'D put foot to ass and insist the guy made new dining arrangements PRONTO LOL
@@LeCheeZy Until THEY have to pay for this, it will NEVER STOP

Kudos for taking this all the way to a jury trial. With qualified immunity out the window, the butts on those officers will be starting to quiver.
Oh yes cause now he can get what they own.
@@gracieg7601 They have had an extra 6 years to save up the money for payment.😆
Wont the cops have some insurance with theyre chapter or club ?
Deprivation Of Rights Under Color Of Law
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, ... shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both
*Section 242 of Title 18 makes it a crime for a person acting under color of any law to willfully deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
@@rumple7551 In previous cases where qualified immunity is lost, the government entity often compensates the officers for the losses that they brought upon themselves. Every day, every way, the poor citizens and taxpayers lose, lose, lose.
The cops should be criminally charged and easily sentenced to many, many years in prison for things like assault, battery, kidnapping/abduction, unlawful restraint/false imprisonment, theft/mugging/larceny/etc.
The judges who tried to help the cops get away with their crimes should be facing criminal charges too for both civil rights violations and aiding and abetting.
If a person decides to be a Police Officer the they need to at least know and understand the importance of our CONSTITUTION and UPHOLD it.
I know there are some awesome professionals out there! Officers with maturity, honesty, & ❤!
This is one of the many examples of why qualified immunity should be done a way with.
We need more precedents like this to be set. Hold the criminals accountable.
That's only part of the equation, when the PUNISHMENT comes down the DEFENDANTS, not the tax payers should be on the hook. Until THAT changes, not much else will.
While I agree with the idea of what you're saying, IMHO what needs to happen is the criminals breaking well established laws\violating a man's basic rights, held accountable.
Do we really need to set a precedent for holding criminals accountable for breaking the law?
Every person that violated this man's rights and\or defended the actions of those that did should lose their job and no longer be allowed to hold a similar job anywhere else.
Anything less would be criminal.
@@mikereynolds1368 you pretty much NAILED as to how it SHOULD BE. But I fear you and i both will be on the wrong side of the dirt if and when this ever comes to fruition.
@@bbigrocker1 sad to say you may be right
Apparently the penalties need to be higher because incidents like this happen, it gets publicized so everyone knows the consequences but they keep doing it anyway.
Mr. Wood is a hero.
Everyone there that stood silent. Shame on you!
AWWW! Did their poor widdle feelings get hurt? Yes? GOOD!
Now hurt their pocketbooks.
feelings police to the rescue!!!
Sadly, any penalties won’t come out of their pockets, it will be taxpayers paying for it. Maybe if it did come out of the officers pocket things would change, but qualified immunity lets them do whatever they want and they usually get away with it.
I’m of the firm belief that once a public servant trespasses you from public property, not only should you sue them, but you should also be tax exempt from that county.
Agreed if the Gestapo wants to tell you that you can't use the public property that your taxes pay for you shouldn't have to pay taxes
Great comment.

“Never mind big tech, cops are the ultimate snowflakes engaged in cancel culture.” Well said, LL.
" he is disturbing my peace charge him!" God help these children
Isn't it "cop stuff 101" to separate the combatants?
Why'd they let the (hopefully fired) fairground boss follow him out, giving him the business the entire way?
@@michigangeezer3950 To expand upon your statement.... why'd they let him take the lead and make the decisions?
The fairgrounds manager deserves to be held accountable.
They arrested him for disorderly while the other guy was following him and harassing him
Judges who are corrupt should be immediately sentenced to life in prison
Nope, not harsh enough
Then there would be no republican ones.
@rodolfo schultz this is not about politics you're part of the problem
@@rodolfoschultz1604 You need to go back.
@@rodolfoschultz1604 doofus comment :(
The sad thing is it took him almost 6 years to get any justice and it was never guaranteed in the first place. Meanwhile all those cops continued on doing their thing this whole time. I wonder how many other people had their rights violated in that time.
My guess is: Plenty.
The amount of time is about right, it took me that long when i sued when i got electrocuted.
Not to mention the corrupt POS judges and DA's that ALLOWED this to happen in the first place. Bear in mind ALL OF THE FACTS that the appeals court used to come to their decision was PRESENTED TO ALL OF THE LOWER COURTS. Is that some SCARY SHIT or what? How many court officers and judges LOOKED this in the eye and couldn't draw the EXACT SAME CONCLUSSION the appeals court came to? Then you have to ask WHY???
@@jerrysockets8154 I'm sure there is, but once the case has been filed, I doubt it will time out prior to a definitive conclusion IE all appeals denied

FYI: "After prevailing in an appeal to reinstate his First Amendment claims in the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, Case Western Reserve University’s First Amendment Clinic recovered $29,750 in attorney fees through a settlement on behalf of its client, Michael Wood, from the Clark County Sheriff’s Office. Mr. Wood recovered a total of $155,000 from the incident after the Sixth Circuit reinstated his false arrest and retaliation claims predicated upon his First Amendment protected speech...." Case Western University School of Law - February 23, 2023
I haven’t seen an update on this, so here’s a headline, you could look up on this case:
First Amendment Clinic recovers $29,750 in Attorneys’ Fees In $155,000 Settlement in Civil Rights Lawsuits for Violation of First Amendment Rights
I saw that article after searching his name. But I also saw another. Mr. Wood has since been charged and convicted of Drunk Driving, and is currently trying to fight that.
5:32 "Sarge, what are we doing, he's talking the whole way out the door?". In other words, he's using his 1st amendment rights as he's advocating for the constitution, should we arrest him? Has to be the most egregious and asinine shyt I've ever heard from another officer.
The Sargent need to lose his stripes because he let a loud mouth pos(idiot that claimed the fair is his House) and a low ranking officer talked him into violating a citizen's Civil Rights.
Every cop on scene deserves to be terminated. Some deserve felonies and fair trials.
Awesome!!!!!!! All others should follow this man's lead!
$1.00 plus court costs and attorney fees is worth it!
I sent a message thanking the department for their tyranny leading to the loss of qualified immunity. It’s one step closer to ending it all together. I advise others to do so as well
My state strengthened QI 6 months ago. Don't count on it.
@@eq1373 is that why we’ve seen states and cities dropping it for cops lately?
@@67buick you didn't get the memo? Because his state is doing something that contradicts you, everyone else is /s
link the dept contact , and i will do the same.
@@67buick Don't buy in to the agenda @EQ 137 is pushing. He is a cop who previously stated he and ALL his buddies would quit if they ever took away qualified Immunity. I reminded him that there are over 1 million full time police LEO in the U.S. and since the educational requirements is at minimum only a GED, were they all going to try to get that one job out there that only requires a GED? They will not quit. They could never find a job with the same high Benefits Pkgs. and pay with their lower Educational backgrounds.
3 courts heard all arguments and only 1 took into consideration all facts and circumstances revolving around this incident. Fair and equal, or justly corrupt? You take what you will from having 2 different courts attempt to summarize punishment enforced on those who willingly conduct themselves as tyrants, only to have 1 man never back down and prove just how deep their tarnished code runs.
Yeap. It really sucks having to appeal simple things because the lower courts are too cowardly to enforce the law.
The Law is an ass just like the turds that enforce it. we all know it
Municipal Courts always favor the cops. Superior/District Courts are slowly being infected, as well.
Unjust, authoritarian america
Amen
Justice is slow, but at least the award he received will be helpful.
@LackLuster I had a very similar situation happen to me last month.
They had a perfect opportunity to talk to him and try to understand why he feels this way towards police and have a civil discussion but instead they did everything to further solidify why he hates the police. The lack of self awareness in some officers is shocking.
Its people. People arent aware of much, as a rule.
Cops work for Satan.
They have no 'self awareness'.
I think he proved a valid point by wearing the shirt. They responded exactly the way most ppl think they would. It's 2022 and ALL qualified immunity needs revoked. Their lack of knowledge of the law is what scares me.. They didn't even know if they swore to uphold the CONSTITUTION!! More training and require college degrees, higher wages, less problems for society. It should be a profession to be proud of, but all the high school drop outs that are power hungry creates the problems. You can't be a social worker without education, you have to do 180 hours of training to do nails, but throw anyone out there to serve and protect? Wtf?
These piggies proved this freedom fighter's T-shirt right.
@@CuShorts No they are aware, this stuff been in the news for decades because of all the lawsuits and supreme court ruling, and it is still in the news.
So let me get this straight, they want to arrest him for wearing a shirt and talking while leaving like he was asked? When did wearing a shirt become against the law? How do they not understand the damn Constitution? The pride and ego of these officers is just mind blowing...
What's so funny is their actions just proved why he wore the shirt that he did so they actually proved his point...
@Aluzky It is illegal to sexually abuse a minor and it's also illegal to own images of the sexual abuse of a minor. Therefore, you're comparing apples and oranges since it is not illegal to engage in or to display Constitutionally protected speech.
@Aluzky but your entire argument *IS* invalid. Shuffling words around doesn't change that simple fact.
"How do they not understand the damn Constitution?"
The Freemasonic ORDER is 1000% in control of ALL American police and their training! The Thin Blue Line = The Blue Line Flag = The Blue(local) Lodge of Freemasonry! All cops are pressured to join the local(Blue) Lodge! The oath to a cops freemasonic brotherhood, IN SECRET, ...OVERRIDES and NULLIFIES his PUBLIC oath to the Constitution, the USA, ...AND WE THE PEOPLE! The VERY FIRST thing a freemason MUST DO, to join the ORDER is TAKE AN OATH TO KEEP SECRETS FROM THE PUBLIC! THATS your police force America! Which oath do you think they honor/uphold more?!!! They are in total control of ALL police training thru their brotherhood ORDER The FOP, the Federal ORDER of Police, which fully controls ALL police academies and police unions!
They are INTENTIONALLY putting these undertrained, low IQ, corrupted by power, apathetic, ignorant psychos out on our streets without a speck of substantive training, and they even encourage their BETRAYAL, by promising "Qualified Immunity" whenever they violate our Constitutional rights! Its all part of their plan to destroy our Constitution, ...the rights it provides, ...our freedom, ...and America as a whole, to fold it into a global New World ORDER government. And the incredibly low intelligence, honor and morality of accepted applicants, makes it sure that the stupidity of cops will keep them from ever questioning how incredibly UNDERTRAINED they are, or understanding just exactly how they are being setup, and used to destroy their very own country ...and the country of their very own families, friends and neighbors!
The police are THEE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN AMERICA TODAY!
Don't get it twisted, it's not about "UNDERSTANDING" the constitution. It's more about simply NOT GIVING A FUCK about the constitution. He CLEARLY asked if they had taken an OATH....
@Aluzky Dude.. You cannot be serious? You don't know what the shirt he had on said even though they said 11 times from the START of the video?? Just you not knowing that makes everything else you said, irrelevant.. How on earth did you NOT know what his story said after them saying it FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO??
Now, second, which important, I work with lawyers and police officers... My title is training so I can assure you that the rest of your comment would not, could not, does not matter when you proved you don't listen AT ALL....
Also, by your writing, I can see English is not your native tongue which is why I'm cutting you some slack.. The Halloween comparison etc, that literally has NOTHING to do with this issue at all and far from it... Before you comment on something, first make sure you HEARD all of it.. I pray you never get called for jury duty because you don't listen...
His speech was #critical:
1) critical of the tyranny in that county
2) critical to the foundation of Constitutionally-protected freedom of speech
Congratulations!!!!!! They all need to read the CONSTITUTION!
I am very proud of this young man for standing up for his right's, 💪👍
These public servants are a disgrace to allow this man to kick him off the property for expressing free speach (1st Amendment)
and then illegally arresting him, they are earning the hate.
5:00 by this point the man is packed up and leaving. It amazes me that cops won't just take that as a win. They really prefer to conspire on false charges.
And the fair grounds director should/could have walked away instead of continuing to badger and escalate the situation.
And thats why they gonna get their asses handed to them.
Retaliation for butt hurt small minds.
@@Sandman_10372 What happened to the fair grounds guy? He's the one who should be arrested for disorderly conduct, he escalated a fairly mild procedure.
Plus the disorderly conduct statute needs to be abolished asap! It covers such a wide swath that a pi$$y butt hurt servant can taylor it to what ever he/she wants. Case in point this case.
Thank you to the prosecutor and to all honorable judges who decided to Revoke the Qualified immunity of those Animals!!!!!!! At Least they will learn that Abusing their power will get them bankrupt personally!!!!
The County Fair Manger is the main INSTIGATOR IN THIS MANS FALSE ARREST! HE IS IGNORANT OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW AND SHOULD ALSO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE !!
As a citizen of Ohio I'm quite concerned we have tyrants living and making a home on public property, I called the fairground just now but no one picked up. "Not in my house" "not where I live"
That d head fairgrounds keeper ought to be fired and charged.
That kid needs all the help we can give him.
It’s a shame that even now. Some people still do not know that this is and was something that occurred years ago and is a norm. Freedom of speech!
You can blame racist yeehaws for that.
The officers should have stayed by their oath. They didn’t know what to do showed they still have no idea what they took a oath to? They should have been telling that man to get a grip. Thst he’s not wearing it now. Now the police have caused themselves a pack of issues that was caused by a pansy who had hurt feelings. He wasn’t wearing the shirt any longer. They should have not done anything.
No, they know it, they just play stupid and hope to get away with it then cry when the get the consequences. Seriously these things been in the news for decades because of all the lawsuits and supreme court rulings.

"Freedom of speech" isn't just "You're free to say what we want you to say." As long as he isn't directly inciting a riot, those police officers were NOT upholding the Constitution of the United States. In fact, they were doing the exact opposite. Freedom of speech means that people will often say things that you don't want to hear. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT!!!
"What are we doing here? It's your call Sarge." The guy was walking out! F**king cops.
if assholes can yell religious shit at us in public we can yell FTP if we feel like it.
MOBUS,THEN THE GET YOU FOR OBSTRUCTION!
Unobjectionable speech requires no protection.
Even when the courts say basically “ what the accused did is legal “ the police believe that doesn’t matter and they can do what they want, they feel they don’t have to follow the law and can just make their own rules.
Yeah, pretty much. Clearly displayed here..........with the blessings of lower courts no less.
Why is he following him though
@@SilenceIsGolden64 He’s following the auditor because he hopes he will return to his car then they can run his license plates or better yet pull him over for some bogus stop and the auditor will have to show his ID, drivers license.
Until coproaches start suffering physical violence and death for their crimes against Americans on American soil as they are so ready and willing to commit violence and death to so called "enforce" "laws" that they are wonderfully ignorant of a willfully apathetic to, it only reasons that a return of violence will stop them as body cameras, cell phones and the thousands of cases prove have no effect against a gang and cult of thugs. They have become the villain so let's treat them as they desire to be treated.
It certainly makes the case for defunding the police doesn't it? Perhaps private neighborhood security guards can do better.
Update: most of these people work as security guards now.
All those cops need to be fired and some backwoods justice.
YES, YES, YES!!!!! Now, if only the cops were held to be PERSONALLY responsible for their actions...
I can dream, can't I?
... they can be. They all have home addresses. Justice against a corrupt government is a "DIY" project. Always has been.
Yay God bless this young man, thank you Mr. Lackluster for your excellent reporting
They thought they were protected and are unable to be held accountable because they have qualified immunity but fail to acknowledge that the citizen is protected with the constitution and common sense
They need to go after them personally and this will stop.
Its a year later an this Sheriffs department would love to hear our grievances once again.
These bad officers need to treated the same as any other criminal. Perhaps a few days in jail will cool them off? What a disgrace to all law enforcement. Thank goodness citizens now have cameras to expose these out-of-control, hostile, abusive and combative terrorists.
Come to NYC. We have the most corrupted cops in the nation. They take payments from the mafia, and allow prostitution, illegal gambling and narcotics to be sold. Common sense people know that the wouldn't be 5 mafia families, if it weren't for corruption starting at the top with the police chief, and commissioner!! Watch the movie, (SERPICO) with Al Pacino. All true to this day.
Hey let's just give them a single minute in jail so they understand...let's just hope they arent perceived to commit any aggravating factors in that minute that extend their sentence by an additional 20years to life.
Blue line domestic terrorism!!
Can you imagine before this cameras, came into approval? How much dirty work went on.
Perhaps a few months.
This guy was tremendous, he has my utmost respect!!
Thank you for your support. More law suits are coming.
