Kentucky State Police Trooper James Cameron Wright has finally been indicted by the feds for multiple civil rights violations, which were not only known by his chain of command, but some of which were personally reviewed and approved by the literal head of the Kentucky State Police. This includes beatings, perjury, and more. Kentucky civil rights attorney Chris Wiest gives us the scandalous details, including exclusive new bodycam footage of one of the incidents.
In October of 2024, Monroe County (Florida) Deputy Jonathon Lane pulled over a dad/husband who was hauling a boat too slowly. The driver had previously suffered from a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Deputy Lane immediately escalated the situation to a felony arrest of the driver, afterwards lecturing the man’s wife about his integrity and the importance of following the law. But as it turns out, Deputy Jonathon Lane has a “confidential” past that exposes his own law-breaking, as well as his department’s apparent coverup of that law-breaking. As promised, here’s the footage of Deputy Lane’s arrest, which is shocking in light of the fact that he ended up getting the case dismissed and subsequently listed in records as “confidential.”
According to Manheim Township (Pennsylvania) Police, Benny Xavier Pena-Rivera, 24, was charged with aggravated assault, evading arrest or detention on foot, resisting arrest, reckless driving, driving under suspension- DUI related and five counts of summary vehicle code violations after he assaulted the police chief and fled the scene during a traffic stop. The only problem was… video later surfaced contradicting the story alleged by police chief Duane Fisher, who performed the stop, and who is now under investigation.

Full Press Release by Lancaster County District Attorney:
Deputies in Ashe County, North Carolina stopped motorcyclist Stuart Mast over an alleged traffic violation in September of 2024. Within seconds of being pulled over, his life would be over. The local sheriff put out a statement to the public and the media that, as it turns out, is completely contradicted by the bodycam footage, which was just released.
Many of my viewers from around the country sent me this viral Facebook post by the wife of an elderly, disabled military veteran (with severe type 2 diabetes) about three police officers abusing him in front of their home in St. Mary’s West Virginia. After she reached out to me, yesterday I drove 3 and a half hours up to the location of the incident to investigate the scene myself. Frankly, I’m shocked by what’s happening up there, and they can’t be allowed to get away with it.
Why would two separate police officers from two separate counties in rural Georgia both happen to end up harassing this super nice guy, driving this super nice vehicle, who incidentally is transporting his super adorable monkey that he has a YouTube channel with? And what were the chances that both officers would pull the vehicle over for “following too closely” to a tractor trailer, where coincidentally, both of the officers’ dash cameras would show the claims to be completely bogus?
Two years ago, Darius Lester, a young black man in rural West Virginia, was shot by a West Virginia State Police SWAT team while still in his bed during a botched pre-dawn raid while executing a search warrant at his uncle’s home. Despite the passage of two years, the state police still have not released the findings of their investigation into the shooting. The reason? They were most likely waiting the two years the victim had in which to sue them.
Five days ago, I told you about the tragic death of Doug Harless, shot by officers from the London (Kentucky) Police Department during a wrong house raid over the county “Judge-Executive’s” stolen weedeater. Since then there have been several updates, including a “Justice for Doug” march/protest, as well as a fiery town council meeting. But, in a “truth is stranger than fiction” style twist, an audio recording has surfaced of a phone call between the county Judge Executive, David Westerfield and London Police Officer Jared Hale, which tells us the real story….
On the evening of February 12, 2023, Edmond Exline was walking alongside Interstate 81 outside of Martinsburg, West Virginia. A West Virginia State Trooper approached Edmond and immediately pulled his firearm and pointed it at Edmond. He then switched to a taser and pushed Edmond into the highway and chased him against a concrete barrier. The trooper then repeatedly tased Edmond and called for backup. Two additional West Virginia State Troopers arrived on the scene and immediately began to physically attack Edmond. On of the troopers struck Edmond in the head with his flashlight before repeatedly striking Edmond in the face and tasing him. Another trooper slammed Edmond’s face into the concrete repeatedly and struck Edmond in the face multiple times. Edmond was also kneed multiple times.
Throughout the attacks by these West Virginia State Troopers, Edmond stated, “I didn’t do nothing.” … “You’re hurting me.” … “I need to breathe.” … “Let me up. I need to breathe.” … “I didn’t do nothing.” … “You’re trying to kill me.” After physically attacking Edmond the troopers attempted to stand Edmond up while he was handcuffed and realized he was unresponsive. Edmond Exline was taken to the Berkeley Medical Center and pronounced dead at approximately 10:31 p.m. During the time the troopers physically attacked Edmond Exline, he was unarmed, was not committing any crimes, and was not under the influence of any alcohol or narcotics.
The July 2024 statement from the West Virginia State Police:
A prominent judge in Houston, Texas, was pulled over on suspicion of DUI back in April. She was allowed to leave with only a warning, even though the officers believed she had been drinking and observed her driving on the wrong side of the road and speeding. Also, there was no footage of what transpired during the 45 minute incident, because the officers “obstructed” their body cams. There was however audio, and both the audio and dash cam footage later surfaced once it was realized by the media that the judge had seemingly disappeared – only to reappear under arrest several months later for DUI. But this wasn’t the same DUI, but a separate incident.
