- 10/6/23 - Hattiesburg Mississippi. This is an HonorYourOath Civil Rights Investigation. Acting on nothing more than false reports and hearsay Officers with the City of Hattiesburg Mississippi violated my First Amendment protected rights to freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of assembly on a traditional public forum. There’s a lot of work to be done in Mississippi. Everyone has the right to petition the government for redress of grievances but I ask that you please do so in a polite, peaceful and constructive manner.
The second cop was really stupid, Disturbing the business? Lies and misinformation. Detaining someone without a crime on a public sidewalk? Hattiesburg committed kidnaping of a citizen, this is disgusting. I hope they are held accountable for snatching a citizen off the streets! God bless the homeless vets!
And i suppose he did not make a complaint ?
Felony kidnapping did it with a gun
@@wolvoman1lol stay tuned.....
Jeff, if possibly, please include the business in your lawsuit!!!
Exactly! It's almost the standard procedure for these idiot cops to spew bs while ignoring the plain evidence of their eyes. The concept of reasonableness is beyond them.
Can't believe the second cop actually said "it's not hearsay if someone calls in and says you're causing a disturbance". That's literally the definition of hearsay.
The definition of hearsay is second or more hand information. Typically when someone calls the police it goes to dispatch and then an officer, that would be hearsay. I believe she said she was calling someone directly if I’m not mistaken. If someone directly tells an officer an accusation of a crime and they find it credible it’s not hearsay and it’s probable cause to arrest.
@@jonnybaze7449except it was a false report. No peace was disturbed. Maybe the other signs were jealous of Jeff’s sign but you can’t make stuff up to get some one arrested.
@@cjinpa5713 doesn’t matter in terms of what’s hearsay or not. People definitely can, happens many times a day. It’s illegal but have you seen any video where someone was even questioned about giving false statements? I haven’t.
what do you expect from uneducated police!
@@jonnybaze7449do you know what first hand knowledge is? It's seeing and knowing it from your own experiences. Being told something by someone else is second hand information. Hearsay....
I emailed every city council member, the police chief, the mayor and all of the other employees that I thought needed to know. This is disgusting
I wish I knew the name of that restaurant as well.

Make sure to leave a google review on their page like I did. To get them some awareness of their stupid actions.@@joelbellJB
I called the Police Dept, the Mayor's office and the Chief of communications for this city. When I asked what they would do about this miscarriage of justice, they all said that they would like my name and number to add to the list of people who had complained. I again asked them about the video showing this miscarriage of justice and all they did was ask for may name and number. I told them that I was a Good Citizen and a statement regarding this inappropriate activity is warrant. I was told by a representative of the Mayor's office that they were aware of the issue and would be preparing a statement. Let's see if these clowns down in Mississippi will do anything. This state is an embarrassment to the Union. Always has been and always will be.
“He’s just detained right now.”
“For what?”
“Disturbing the wealthy.”
"How did he disturbed them?"
"By daring to stand 30 feet away, staring at them."
"Is that illlegal?"
"Yes, who else pays our taxes, you think that working man does it?"
Yes restaurant owners are definitely known for their wealth xD
They should be fired
Cop says, "I'm a veteran", then proceeds to violate civil rights. What a tool.
Jeff, you're the GOAT, thank you and God bless!
He mentioned that he was a vet as if that was carte blanche to violate Jeff's rights. Hypocrite much?
He’s a terrorist not a veteran
@@wallebo I was just about to say the same thing!! It sounded like he was implying to Jeff, all Vets should stand HIS way. OMG, give me strenghth!! God bless his pea pickin' entangled confused little mind!!

I can just hear ur southern drawl saying that. U know us true southerners need to stick together, lol😅
Excellent point. @@rarefruit2320
This is tough to watch. These dummy's honestly believe they are in the right and have fooled themselves into thinking they are the good guys.
To throw another man in a small cage on hearsay is disgusting and cruel.
They follow orders that's why they hire them. People in the Sippi, white and black, have a plantation mentality where you have to have permission to move freely.
@@OffWidthCrack and the little people are scared of police and rightly so
@@OffWidthCrackmost people have that in America. Herd mentality
Democrats and individuals that take orders and act on those instructions without question!!! No knowledge of the US Constitution and The Bill of Rights of the US!!! To many cops and city government people think their local policies are stronger yhan the US Constitution!!!! Fuycking pitiful!!!
@@mr.duanesharpe I think it's ignorance with a huge dose of self righteousness. "It's right because I say so, my daddy said so, and his daddy said so."
End Qualified Immunity and start holding law enforcement officers accountable for their criminal actions and lying.
As long as cops are legally allowed to lie to the public, *you can't trust anything a cop says.*
Qualified Immunity can be addressed in the cop's labor contracts!!!
Always one...QI isn't the problem. QI is stripped when it's done properly and the officer violated the law or civil rights. The real issue is training, or lack of, corruption, cover ups and lack of accountability. Stop blaming QI for those things.
Even in states that have outlawed QI, some municipalities continue to elect to cover the cops legal defense fees and court fines.
@@turbowarp Exactly my point. QI doesn't change a thing when the department is covering things up, the courts aren't properly recognizing civil violation (for whatever reason) and the agencies are paying the costs off the tax payers and the LEOs aren't held accountable. Start making them financially accountable, either directly or through loss of revenue, jail time, etc. and you'll see QI start working like it's supposed to again.
Please tell us that you intend to file a civil action against these tyrants. The Hattiesburg PD are poorly educated, and they need to pay their tuition so that they can be brought up to speed.
The Hattiesburg PD are poorly educated. They're indifferent.
Don't forget the business that called.
America needs these wake up calls. Keep going Jeff! After the lawsuit, go back to that same spot in front of the business.
@@user-tf6lb8ls2zPeople should call you and voice their disgust at you being unable to spell there/their correctly.
@@power2084 Grammer police, called on YOU, you Nazi Fascist
What's the name of the bar?
Hopefully that bar is out of business SOON
Open up at 3p.m.
"i'm not trying to be a dick" *continues to tell someone where they can and cannot stand in public*
Imagine walking up to a stranger in public and telling them they have to move 20 feet to the left or you will use violence against them...
I didn’t hear that. There was a lot of that conversation that I had trouble hearing. That’s why I was wondering if he was going to FOIA the recordings and phone calls.
@@mariagrenat6147 That was the "owner" that came out of the restaurant and then called the cops that said it.
@@mariagrenat6147 you can hear it if cc is on.
@@dianect2939 good idea thanks.
The way that code enforcement guy insists on giving him a call if people bother you gives me the impression he knew exactly what would likely to happen and it wasn't the first time...
Any chance "that code enforcement guy"can be convinced to require restaurant to remove their billboard signs from the public sidewalk? Could be a harder lesson learned than a lawsuit for a few dollars. Be fun for us Honor Your Oath junkies!
Where was the only seemingly educated person during this , the code enforcement guy ?
At first I thought code enforcer guy deserves a raise for all the saving of cash he does for the city in avoiding lawsuits. But then big dumb dumbs come along and disregard the first amendement. How did you keep your cool Jeff? These cops were brutal in their lack of knowledge of our rights.
I wonder if Jeff got in touch with him by now.
He called the cops
There is a reason Mississippi is at the bottom of the educational ladder, and the citizens in these cops are a perfect example of why
New York cops are no better.
Education means nothing. Some of the stupidest people I know are so called educated. Most are liberals.
Well said! Inbreeding is alive and taking place throughout that inbred community!!!
"And the citizens *AND* these cops" not IN.

He was probably using voice to text... And what he said is actually true. No offense whatsoever to you, but it is true. @@richardcain7352
It’s difficult to believe that the people wearing a police badge and carrying a gun don’t understand the very basics of the law they are supposed to uphold☹.
why bother to learn, they got QI.
It's not that difficult to believe, we are in Mississippi were people with half a brain are referred to as 'gifted'.
It's seeming more and more MANDATORY that they don't understand the law.
BINGO !!!@@marklatimer7333
@@marklatimer7333Good one.
Imagine insinuating that being on public property holding a sign is a crime. If this “officer” is a vet he does not know the Bill of Rights or Constitutional Law.
He knows the Bill of Rights and the Constitution he simply just doesn’t give a shit about it! He is master and you will do as he says.
He doesn't care. He thought Jeff was homeless, and he can run over him. They seemed surprised to find the camera recording.
@@jacodabrown1807 Wait he thought he could "run over him" ? What do you call what he did? He put him in a hot car for 30 min and told him to leave a PUBLIC SIDEWALK and he did leave.
A cop "helping" anyone is a oxymoronic statement. Especially when it comes to "helping" vets.
@@vpnhp1524the police dept and the City in general is experiencing far more pain right now over this than is Jeff, and rightly so.
Just called the mayor's office and they are answering the phone at least for now so let our voices be heard that a business and a town do not have the right to suspend a person's civil rights just because they don't like what he is saying or where they are standing in public.
Good man that’s our part of this ! Call call emails several very week
The "one vet to another vet" while violating your civil rights is just disgusting.
Cop - "People called and said that you're causing a disturbance"
Jeff - "That's just hearsay"
Cop - "That's not hearsay, someone called"
Excuse me little piggy, but the definition of hearsay is "information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor."
It shows u tht it doesn't take much to b a cop. GED, no felonies which they will get felonies after getting a badge, an ego, hatred and a battery pack for your back
Why do the police always seem to assume the 911 caller as fact and heavily discount the person being investigated as fiction.
😆😆😆😆
@@tariqsmith1108 and I'm willing to bet you won't call the cops when you get mugged, robbed or have your a$$ kicked. RIGHT? Good boy!
@@Chavee496tee IMO I don't think thats what he meant
God bless you Jeff.
I joined the Jeff can’t be everywhere club. Going out with my God Bless the Homeless Vet sign.
Awesome but be careful. Let me know how it goes.
Just gave bad review.
@@andrewstratford4753thank you for supporting Jeff with your views and comments
Handcuffs are pure torture... and they know it.
@@andrewstratford4753 to whom?
The ignorance and tyrannical behavior of cops is a never ending cycle.....also most people in public are ignorant aswell
Yep, those tyrannical cops come for the ignorant public. Ideally, the business owner would leave Jeff alone and even come out to stop the cops from what they are doing
They are ignorant when convenient 😮
No ignorance, quit giving that excuse
These cops know the law and what they are doing. They don’t agree with the limitations the law places on them, that is the problem. The cops think qualified immunity protects them from any accountability or consequences. Hattiesburg taxpayers won’t be pleased when they get the bill for the settlement or jury award.
SUE THE RESTAURANT TOO
Dude!.. you're the only one who expresses all five rights under the 1st Amendment in one simple act. Brilliant!🙏♥️🇺🇸📷🇺🇸📷🇺🇸📷🇺🇸🤔✌️💪👍. You're continued service to preserve the constitution is the most noble act as a true patriot.
Kidnapping is their profession.
Terrorizing the public is their goal.

@@DIYRotel No, it isn't. A haiku is a three line verse with five syllables in the first and third lines and seven syllables in the second line. Nice try though. 😉😎

@@DIYRotel it's just what I think of the police - no more, no less.
Once this video gets some views I would hate to be the person answering the phone at that restaurant. Awesome work Jeff.
What is the name of the restaurant
Everybody should call and simply say "God Bless The Homeless Vets."
Not answering, and voicemail isn't accepting messages. They've also turned off comments on most of their recent facebook posts, but if you scroll down you'll find some open ones yet.

Sue the restaurant for the false police report claiming he was disturbing their customers and business.
I really am sorry to say it, but I definitely see a pattern. It’s always the people who benefited the most from the sacrifices of others who gave their blood and lives in defense of the Constitution, hate it the most.
@@DearHenryAyeop false alarms are a crime. Being falsely arrested because of one, is injury. Hope Jeff sues them too.
Shame on "Bourbon on Front" 206 W Front St, Hattiesburg, MS 39401
I see a change of management/ rebranding in my crystal ball!
I sent an email to the city. I have never done that before, but like you Jeff, I am sick and tired of the ignorance.
I did the same. I sent one to every city employee on the website and all of city council.
Thank you. I've been the opposite way lately. I see videos like this and It's hard for me NOT to email the city, call the city hall, esp. comment on the PD's / citys public social media if they don't shut comments off first
Copy the local newspaper editor & producers at the TV stations.
They love local stories, esp. with video.
Suggest they follow up with this detainment. Should be on police logs.
Sadly they will not respond, they are all cowards
Mine is going out as soon as I get home. My letters to the mayor of Jackson, MS and the director of the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum went out yesterday.
I tried to call both the restaurant and the police station neither one would answer the phone I went on Google and gave them both 1-star reviews God bless you Jeff for all you do
Front Street Bar? Is that right? Trying to do the same.
Well...their customer service is shit!
Google reviews are counted more than Yelp
Someone who lives in the area might "accidentally" trip on those sandwich board signs on the public sidewalk and need to regretfully sue the business.

This shouldn't be a fight and it's sad that it is.
Another lawsuit and hopefully things will get better.
Thank you Jeff for continuing to fight
@@lolwatlolwatlolthey cuffed me and stuffed me in the back of a police car for thirty minutes while making threats to arrest me for “disturbing a business”. I think any reasonable person would believe that if they didn’t leave they would be going to jail don’t you?
Natchitoches, Louisiana. Any call for service gives police RAS, and LA is a “stop-and-id” state.
@@danboquistLouisiana is a no go state for me.
They are not answering phone calls, they are flagging all reviews. They turned off all comments on all platforms. They turned off messages. They know they messed up and can't just own up to and apologize. Instead they don't want people to see the bad reviews so they can continue business as usual. We can't let that happen!
Post one on Google... saw several
Damn Jeff! You have a lot of people to sue! That incident at the Civil Rights Museum was sickening! Mississippi is a mess. I can't wait to see the depositions in this case!
Mississippi IS a mess. You said it!!!
But does he follow thru? Maybe 1 out of 30? I really enjoyed him to start with. But after two years, nothing changes. No one gets educated and I thought that is part of the reason for this
@@Carma1900 Two years? Do you know how long it takes to get these cases resolved when you are fighting "city hall"? If Jeff filed a notice of intent to sue two years ago they MIGHT be getting close to a first hearing by now, unless the defendant decided to settle, and settlements typically come with NDA's. Patience, Grasshopper.
@@Carma1900 do you have any idea what it's like to have a court case out of state? Traveling hundreds of miles 6 or 8 times to go through all the BS of depositions and filing paperwork before the case even comes to trial, and even finding a civil rights attorney in that state with the time to do it all?
He's lucky they didn't charge him or there would have been 6 more trips to court while the prosecutor busts your b*lls changing the charges on you every time you show up so your lawyer has to re-prepare his case over and over.
@@Carma1900hmmm, he's sued and won against 3 towns in Georgia.....so, don't know what to tell ya.
Good job Jeff I called the police department and they said they had no comment so don’t forget to file charges for infringement on your constitutional right
They can't comment, there currently doing an internal investigation into this matter so they can find the cops did nothing wrong.
File those complaint forms
@@johnnylara .
Only Jeff should file a complaint.
Once someone files a complaint the body cams, report, and communications become unavailable because of an active investigation.
Don't forget to leave a restaurant review for Bourbon on Front.
Every auditor in the country needs to show up in front of this business.
🎯🎯🎯
Boycott Bourbon on Front Street!!!
Every business in the town. The cop was not specific. So they shouldn't be
My thoughts exactly. Get every auditor within a hundred miles to teach them the law....not how they feel.
Keep up the good work Jeff. It's appreciated God bless all our homeless veterans
America needs a legion of Jeff Grays ..this guy has to be one of the best auditors in America ..I hope the local population show their thoughts on this business by blanking it ..
It's not the business's fault if the police are tyrants
Not one of. He is the best. Has been for several years.
@@fredator76 Both are at fault. It’s possible that the police would never have contacted him had the business not complained.
@fredator76 The business decided they could grant Powers they DON'T HAVE to a government agency to have someone removed from public property. Every time this is done LE usurps a little more undelagated power.
Learn the Constitution!!!!
@@fredator76why would they call the police? Of course it their fault
Florida is just Florida but Mississippi is a really special kind of stupid. So sad to see this in 2023. God Bless you Jeff, please take care and know that we support you 100%...
Southern pride motto,
Thank God for Mississippi!!!
Do you think they can spell Mississippi with one eye?
When Jesus returns he bettwr stay away from mississippi. Those god fearing republicans will nail him to the cross for preaching the gospel while calling him a satanic heathen
Mississippi is the , how can I say this out loud?. It's the state with the most, percentagewise, the most. You see that a lot in Louisiana next door as well. But Mississippi has the most. Percentagewise. As you can see.
Hahaha I mean you wonder why the south ranks low in education right ?
I’m astonished how many public servants don’t know the basic civil rights!
I used to be surprised.
Sadly, I now just expect it.
They know. Playing ignorant helps their cause.
They are not taught basic civil rights but they are sure taught to use those handcuffs.
They do, they just hate white people having rights.
@@MonkeyJedi99that is so true why are we forced to pay for this idiotic thing we call a judicial system.
Thanks Jeff, your work is very good and impressive. Democracy takes participation.
As a veteran, I'm appalled how can you take an oath to something and not have read it.we all swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic . It's absolutely a shame they haven't read it.
In this particular case the cops were clearly wrong and should have known that they were (and likely even knew that they were). That said, I have no idea why you think merely reading the constitution is all one needs to do in order to understand it. None of the rights recognized and protected in the constitution are without limits. One person's exercise of a right can conflict with another person's exercise of a right, and a balancing of rights must be hashed out through legislation and case law, which the police must then learn and apply.
And likely took an oath as a police officer. Maybe he thinks the second cancelled out the first 🤦♂️
@COTTFLIX Or may "yall" are smart enough to understand that one doesn't need to define all cops as "good guys" or "bad guys", though I understand it's a convenient thing for people who aren't really into thinking to do.
@COTTFLIX Using "yall" doesn't indicate a lack of intellect. It was, and remains, the other thing. I quoted "yall" because it isn't at all clear who you're talking to as every single post above yours in the thread is critical of the police.
@@unnamed_channelthe guy who can't even demonstrate proper grammar or sentence structure is going to lecture others about being smart.
At this point i find it hard to believe that there any police stations left in this country that haven't been briefed on 1st amendment rights. Also, none of these cops watch youtube?
It is incredible. A random guy on YT who's never been outside of Europe, knows more about the civil rights in the US than a cop who has been trained to enforce the law and does it for a living, with the ability to take away the freedom of another person.
@ cops are not trained to enforce laws they are trained to write tickets and generate revenue. police care very little for any crime unless they can get money out of it.
@You got it 👍🏽
it's not ignorance, it's corruption.
Auditing Britain is a good channel too@
Jeff showed literally zero threat that warrented him being cuffed. That was outrageous!
They were going to taking to jail, but after making several calls they knew they fxxed up.
it was a kidnap,plain as day !
I completely agree!!!! These two idiots need to go back and get retrained!!!
"I'm a vet and if you need some help ..." "Well, you could take these cuffs off and stop harassing me."
I've been frequenting that restaurant for years and....now....they will never see another dollar of mine. Shame on them for treating Jeff that way. Stupid cops!!
You should let them know they lost a regular because of their shameful acts.
Make them wallow in their regret.
Jeff , I have shared this with the mayor and the higher ups with HPD . Thank you for exposing this and I pray that they will take this as a learning experience and actually train the police on the constitution and the amendments !
Did you warn them that a lawsuit was coming?
Quit giving the excuse of ignorance, it's crookedness what they do.

That's because he actually cares about serving the public and doing a good job.
That may be the only time those words have ever been spoken in the English language

Including that restaurant if possible.
That Owner / Manager needs to suffer some real financial consequences for his blatant disregard for Freedom…and for summoning armed goons!
I concur
These tyrants MUST be held accountable via a civil rights lawsuit. Absolutely mind boggling how so many of these idiots think they can get away with this tyranny.
Call Hattiesburg code enforcement and report an, Article 1, section 23, code #6 violation on the restaurant.
www.hattiesburgms.com/wp-content/uploads/streets-and-sidewalks.pdf
Yet they do get away with it. See the problem?
They will keep doing this until somebody actually follows through with a lawsuit.
A you tube video is NOT enough.
So disgusting, boycott "Bourbon on Front Street" horrible business, horrible employees, they got multiple signs on OUR public sidewalk, but you can't hold yours??? Copers as usual, sadly, even more disgusting. They should know the law before cuffing someone. They don't care cause they can't be held accountable for their stupidity and violence. It IS an act of violence to seize someone.
I love the sudden change in tone of the officer's voice when they find your gopro camera and realize that they've been recorded the whole time they were violating your rights. The sound of guilt and shame is clear.
Priceless, I noticed the change as well.
I don't think i was the camera so much as they guy telling them "they barked up the wrong tree because the guy they have cuffed has 9 lawsuits pending for the same thing"
He realized the trap he just got caught in. 🤣 I would have gone right back to that same spot. Screw those tyrants.
@@jonathandavis3312 me too!!! Would have went right back to what I was doing, to the exact location!
30 minutes = 250,000 sounds about right. Jeff you were Born for just this very day and time. stay strong brother.
1,000 a minute seems to be average payout without violence
A mother and her daughter were cuffed and stuffed for absolutely nothing (like Jeff) at a Starbucks in California not too long ago. They got $4million EACH.
The dollar doesn't go as far as it used to.
Jeff we owe you so much gratitude for your forum and commitment to our rights , i hope you realized you are making a difference and doing good work and gods work , keep the faith and the fight
That restaurant belives they can put their signs on the public sidewalk, but you arent allowed to. Fascinating.
End Qualified Immunity for government thugs and hold them accountable for crimes against innocent citizens.
Overturn Terry v Ohio.
Hold them accountable Jeff
Sue them personally and attach the lawsuit to their pension fund and then this stupidity will stop. Great job Jeff
Loved the reaction when he realized it was all recorded. They knew they stepped into it at that point.
May be the only reason the let him go.
@@clonefbeegthe cop was smart enough to not touch Jeffs camera .
I called and spoke to a representative in the mayors office. She has clearly received numerous phone calls in reference to this already while she was polite. Her tone was basically you don’t live in Hattiesburg so it’s not your problem. The problem with her line of thought is, it’s not Hattiesburg‘s constitution it’s a constitution of the United States and I used to live in Hattiesburg. I’m a native of Mississippi grew up in Hancock county in which the city of Waveland is part of Hancock county so this entire tour through the state of Mississippi, but he has conducted over the past couple of months has reinforce the feelings that I’ve had about law enforcement for a long time.
@@markmclaughlin2690 Most people don't live in Hattiesburg but I'm guessing many people visit the town from time to time. Those people might want to know what to expect from law enforcement there.....IF, after seeing this video, they choose to visit the city of Hattiesburg, Mississippi. (What, exactly, is the deal with the "You don't live in Hattiesburg?" Does that imply that when it comes to your rights under the constitution, all bets are off if you don't live in Hattiesburg, Mississippi?).......WOW......Just WOW!
Why is it so hard to just leave people alone. (FREEDOM)
Jeff You are a true patriot
If someone was within 2 feet of a business doorway and encroaching on 'personal space', then the business might have a case, but 30 ft away on a public sidewalk? What kind of entitled attitude do they have to mess with someone minding their own business? Shameful.
I hope someone trips on their (illegally placed) signs and sues them.
But, then, you can walk right up their window and legally look, and also take pics and video! 🤔
How are cops allowed to take an oath to the constitution but not required to know the BASICS of THE FIRST amendment?
Tyrants, by definition, don't care about rights. They only care about inflicting corrupt power over the innocent.
Welcome to Corporate America
Theyvdo know it. They don't care.
Cuz they do as they please with basically no repercussions. That’s why.

Gotta love the damage control in the end. “I violated your rights, illegally detained and identified you, kept you cuffed in car for 30 mins but would you like some water?” 😅
Stick your water where the sun doesn't shine and give yourself an enema, because you know what your full of. 🤣🪖🤣
Nothing will ever change until police departments have to pay for stuff like that our of their own pockets

Hattiesburg, so much for Southern Hospitality! I am gobsmacked, the local police don't understand the constitution. We need to fund and un-leash an army of Civil Rights Attorneys to sue these localities into oblivion until they understand they cannot tread on rights.
Well, I called to address the government why the constitution is null and void in Hattiesburg, MS, but no one was picking up. They must be arresting people holding signs of prayer!
This encounter started out so well and I was quite impressed with the the first interaction…..then the Hattiesburg Goon Squad showed up and ruined everything. I was sincerely hoping the encounter would have ended like Gautier, Mississippi. Jeff, please continue your mission of soliciting well-wishes for Homeless Vets.
Mr. Nelson Haskin jr. Owns this restaurant and 3 others on Front St. He was Hattiesburgs Veteran of the year for 2022. Perhaps he doesn’t know about this treatment of his fellow Veteran by the folks running his business at Boubon On Front. Let’s hope that oath he took to uphold and protect the Constitution is still in his heart.
He knows, cause is Mom knows. I told her. Their response appears to have been getting bad reviews cleared from internet.
That was handed to you on a silver platter. Great job Jeff. God bless the homeless vets!
That first guy really seemed interested in helping someone he believed was in need. God bless him.
I am sooo impressed at the guts you have displayed to hit all these towns in MS. One of the issues in MS is that the criminal code is almost incomprehensible. Heck, cursing in public is still listed as an offense, even though it has been ruled unconstitional. The state legislature is too lazy to fix it. Requirements to ID are nowhere to be found. Since the cops are barely literate, and do not care to learn anything new, they do what they feel like. The magistrates are as unknowledgeable as the cops.
Yes, you just described the Mississippi govt to a tee.
I absolutely detest fake concern like this cop "Vet" is acting like he has.
These criminals deserve to be sued.
They are the "Domestic" part that their oath was referring to.
Love it when people try and kick you off public property while simultaneously saying they’re trying to be nice 😂
they are too stupid to understand...
They didn't just try, they actually did, and Jeff let them do it too.
He is purposely interfering with their lunch business.
Came here to say this.
And I love that Jeff called her out for it.
Those types of people make cops do their dirty work for them.
Jeff, what are you do is not easy, I applaud you for everything that you’re doing to stand up for our rights. Don’t be discouraged, you’re making a change.
NOW JUST HOW IS HE MAKING A CHANGE? IF THE COPS CAN RUN HIM OFF LIKE THEY DID THEN HOW IS THAT MAKING A CHANGE. GOING TO JAIL, THEN GETTING A LAWYER AND SUING THEM WOULD MAKE A CHANGE. THEN THESE STUPID HILLBILLY COPS WOULD FACE THE COURT FOR THEIR ACTIONS. RIGHT NOW THEY AREN'T FACING ANYTHING. OH AND BTW. ISN'T IT IRONIC THAT A BLACK MAN VIOLATES THE CIVIL RIGHTS OF SOMEONE.
He has done absolutely nothing in the past 3 videos.
I’m lived in Hattiesburg for 10 years. I went to school and worked there as well. I’m sorry, Mr. Gray
Hope you have a Mississippi attorney on retainer. These folks are among the most ignorant and unprofessional government bureaucrats and LEOs in the country.
Absolutely
But they have diversity.
@@perdidoatlanticright. Any comments on iq?
@@mercandog507
Well it doesn’t seem high.
@@perdidoatlantic it never is, is it? Has to be the culture. Sub Saharan culture.
Hold those tyrants accountable.
I know you can't possibly sue everybody, but please sue these guys.
Keep up the important, meaningful, hard, and very thought provoking work.
You are making a difference
I HOPE YOU HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY DID.
The depositions should be entertaining to hear when they get to face their consequences, and that is what I love about you, they will face consequences.
From 1 vet to another vet let me break the oath that I’ve sworn to uphold twice & violate your rights unbelievable!! Tyrant losers! You rock Jeff thx for God blessing the homeless Vets & fighting for our rights🇺🇸👊🏻! Complaints & lawsuits here we come!
I'm not sure why they were allowed to place their billboards on the sidewalk but you as a living breathing billboard for human rights were asked to leave. Let's put a sandwich above our rights. Thanks Man, for doing what you do!! And the respect you show while doing it. God Bless you
Detained (arrested?) for the crime of spreading compassion for people who served our country and are down on their luck...
When will they ever learn?
They won't unless his lawyer lays some paper on the city attorney...
Perhaps never 😢
Fool for thinking they don't know.
sometime after pensions start getting liens placed on them.
not free to go? that's arrested !!!
I keep thinking of all the times (going back decades) of all the things cops and said, done, perpetuated, and lied about before cameras became more prevelant. Jeff, you're doing outstanding work.
How many innocent people have been jailed over the years because they didn't have video evidence showing how the cops really acted? It's gotta be an insane number of people.
I want to thank these officers for voluntarily revoking Qualified Immunity.
The bar is permanently closed
I am so sorry this happened to you brother and I Can Only Imagine how a homeless person is treated in this community !
Every city and government agency in Mississippi needs to be audited like this.
They need to do Senatobia PD. Look up their videos. Absolute animals.
@@brandonbp122
What is Senatobia?
In the country. This is the only way to keep them legit.
The level of incompetence from law enforcement is astounding. Zero investigation & I’d love to know the state statute regarding “disturbing a business”. Shameful. Decertification should be stipulated within all lawsuits regarding LEO’s. Officers have zero accountability when taxpayers float the bill.
I don’t understand why that business owner thinks it’s OK for him to put his signs out on the sidewalk and yet when Jeff stands there with a sign, that’s not OK and he calls the police. That guy is a significant hypocrite and I hope that a lot of people complain about his sign.
Of course, the cop was ignorant of the laws and there is no excuse for that. If you’re going to enforce the laws, you should understand the laws you’re going to enforce and not just make it up based upon your reasoning and logic. The law is the law and personal reasoning has nothing to do with it.
Jeff is a great American hero.
It's called C-A-P-I-T-A-L-I-S-M.
If you don't own capital, YOU DON'T EXIST.
PERIOD.
Thank you for educating Mississippi.
they haven't learned a damn thing. he already got multiple cities on the news earlier this year for this exact same thing. they'll never learn.
It has not been easy. Those people are ignant!
They didn't learn a thing. But it will cost them.
@@joeblow2069 very ignant. I mean can people read what his signs says!?! Nope. They always assume. How hard is it to see GBTHV on his sign 🤦🏿♂️
It's a truly God awful lost state
You're freaking awesome, Jeff. Thank you so much for exercising your rights. Please keep us posted on how you respond to this injustice.
Notice a trend in Mississippi when he speaks to the elected officials or their representatives mayor and Goucher great job city manager in Gulfport, Mr. Hughes great job code enforcement guy in Hattiesburg. Great job runs in the cops, forest terrible job. Hattiesburg illegally detained him Waveland, which was just a train wreck, and Ocean Springs was the same. All of those were law-enforcement officers, who don’t even know the basics of the constitution, and the laws in which they are in charge to enforce. It’s almost like in whatever academy they attended. This was never discussed. And then it absolutely shows that there is zero continuing education for those officers here’s your badge your gun in your bullet Barney go hit the street.
Please tell me you're going to file a lawsuit against these tyrants! It sounds like the first guy would be a perfect witness for your side.
As a business guy, i am baffled by their lack of seeing the marketing oppportunity. Its a great cause. Ask Jeff if they could team up and create a higher profile. Id ask to bring in a radio station on site. Look at the promotion for Vets and your business.
One place that did this had a sign honouring Vets above their door (just not the sick, dishevelled or homeless ones).
You sounded exhausted after that encounter. Thanks for fighting the good fight, Jeff. Hope you can make a difference in Mississippi.
He’s losing faith in humanity and I agree
Please don’t let them get away with this. 30 minutes cuffed and stuffed illegally deserves compensation.
Yes, most recent award I saw for unlawful detention was paid by the court at $6300 ber MINUTE.
I went to college in hattiesburg. Jeff is really doing the rounds in Ole Miss.
2:40 "I'm trying to be nice" is a THREAT OF VIOLENCE and might as well be "fighting words"
