Officers with the San Francisco Police Department thought they had caught a car thief… Instead, they had mistyped his license plate number, resulting in them attacking, arresting and prosecuting an innocent man – who 14 months later, would be dead.
Complaint by the San Francisco Public Defender:
The findings:
A bank was robbed in Boulder, Colorado. But thankfully the bank robber didn’t even have a getaway car… He had to take the bus. And then he stopped off in a Starbucks to relax for a while. But… as the bank robber is sipping on his latte, the cops are outside chasing an innocent high school kid (Galileo Wise) on his bike who is late for his haircut appointment…
The lawsuit:
Andrew Fraieli is an investigative journalist who runs a nonprofit that he started called Blue Surveillance, based out of Denver, Colorado. Basically what he does is monitor Colorado’s “Peace Officer Standards and Training” (POST) website which documents the certification of police officers within the state. He noticed that a Wheat Ridge Police Department officer named Carlos Bowdre was terminated from that department in July of 2025. But there was no explanation or public disclosure that explained the reason for that termination. So he submitted a public records request. But the Wheat Ridge Police Department didn’t want to turn over the video.
Remember the case where the 62 year old grandpa, Kevin Hinton, was driving with his pet cockatoo on a road trip to meet his new baby granddaughter… and he gets tired, pulls into a public park in Spokane, Washington, and tries to take a nap? But then Spokane, Washington police officer, Clay Hilton, shows up and starts to harass him, ultimately beating him to the point that he would have 8 broken ribs, a punctured lung, a severe concussion, a shoulder injury, and a disfigured lip? I originally made a video about that one all the way back in October of 2023. Then I made an update video on it in December of 2025 after Clay Hilton got fired and indicted. The criminal charges against Hilton just recently went to a jury trial and it’s probably not what you were expecting. He was acquitted. But it’s not over yet.
A mom called the cops on her 16 year old son because she was allegedly having trouble controlling him. Officers from the Melbourne (Florida) Police Department (my hometown) arrive on scene. They see a kid… One of the cops jumps out of his cruiser, threatens the kid, runs towards him and basically tackles him to the ground. The other cops then pile on. They pull the kid’s arm behind his back, dislocating his elbow. Only after they do this, do the cops bother to identify the kid. As it turns out, they just tackled and injured the wrong kid. So then they start to lie about it. One officer has already resigned. But should there be more?
As promised, here is the footage showing Officer Michael Bell, formerly of the Grayson Kentucky Police Department, arresting 19 year old Caleel Ware, a baseball player at a local university. Bell, along with another officer, angry because he thought Caleel was embarrassing his baseball team, used force on him, including tasing him, pepper spraying him in the face multiple times, and then shutting him inside this contaminated interview room for an extended period of time, as he begged for help. Also, the City of Greyson has now publicly responded to the first two videos.
Chris Nixon posted bodycam video to Facebook showing him getting attacked by deputies with the Lyon County (Nevada) Sheriff’s Office. It showed a brutal attack by a heavily-tattooed and aggressive deputy, against a suspect who was at worst, failing to follow orders during a minor traffic investigation. The unedited bodycam footage just looked really bad to the public, and it started to go viral. So then, it makes its way to the local TV news stations. At that point the sheriff steps in and makes a public statement about the incident. The Sheriff tells the local TV news that he fully supports the actions of the deputies, claiming that Chris had misled the public by leaving out the first 5 minutes of the bodycam footage. And so the sheriff provided that missing 5 minutes of footage to the TV news. So the TV news showed some of this missing 5 minutes, but not all of it. So I ended up finding it myself, and I’ll show it to you. Does it change anything? I also tracked down Chris himself to hear his side of the story.
7 months ago I showed you the video of Kentucky State Trooper Seth Owens arresting Devin Langsdorf during a traffic stop, as Devin’s 3 year old daughter was in the backseat. After beating him, Trooper Owens charged Devin with speeding, reckless driving, failure to produce insurance, failure to maintain insurance, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, no registration receipt, and endangering the welfare of a minor. Trooper Owens really threw the book at Devin. At the time I covered the incident 7 months ago, the charges were still pending. But now, just a few days ago, these criminal charges went to a jury trial. And rather than hear it from me, I want you to hear from the actual lawyer who tried that case – and he’s a good one.
A Kentucky State Trooper (Hayden Kilbourne) was just sentenced to 5 years in prison. His former employer, the Kentucky State Police just released the bodycam footage from the incident that caused him to lose his career and his freedom. What did this trooper do that was so bad, or even different from so many other videos I’ve shown you? Is this a rare example of the system actually working as intended, or is there more to the story here?
The complaint from the lawsuit:
In a Walmart in Danville, Kentucky, 66 year old John Hardwick (who had been diagnosed with dementia) was mistreated by Walmart employees while on a grocery shopping trip with his wife. They callously mistook John’s confusion (due to his dementia) for attempted shoplifting, and then called the police. But the police were worse. Officer TJ Godbey punched this vulnerable man 6 times, which was caught on video. And then he, along with Danville Police Officer Ben Ray, arrested John. A lawsuit was filed, which I covered about a year ago. That case has now been settled, with the government claiming the high road. But there’s something they’re not telling you, and they can’t be allowed to cover it up, and escape accountability.
