Cop SLAMS 70 Year-Old Man Over Traffic Ticket

In Oklahoma City, a police officer slammed a 70 year old Vietnamese man head-first onto pavement, seriously injuring him, during a traffic detainment. Due in part to a language barrier, the officer and the Vietnamese man began to argue about traffic law. When the old man poked the officer on his chest (causing him no harm) the officer violently threw the man to the ground. He gave no warning that he was about to do so. Nor did he tell the man that he was under arrest before doing so. He just slammed him. Now the officer is on paid administrative leave and the department is investigating itself.

Here’s the raw footage showing the violent use of force:

If you think that being falsely arrested can’t happen to you, then you have to watch this video. This video shows my client being arrested for DUI even though she was stone cold sober. This can, and does, happen to innocent people across the country. Here you will see an egregious example of this happening, as it plays out in real time on the officer’s bodycam.

Here’s a copy of the lawsuit:

Cop Follows Man Home After Traffic Stop, then Tases Him Repeatedly | 14 Other Victims | FIRED!

In Warrenton, North Carolina, bodycam was recently released showing now-fired police officer Mark Oakley following a black man home from a traffic stop and then repeatedly tasing him in his driveway. Dwayne Hicks was originally pulled over for a minor traffic violation. Finding a pickup order in the system for Mr. Hicks’ license plate, the officer got a screwdriver and pulled the plate off Hicks’ vehicle. Then he told Hicks that he was “free to leave,” and encouraged him to leave the scene. The officer even waved as he drove away from the scene. Instead, former officer Oakley followed Mr. Hicks home and performed another traffic stop – this time in Mr. Hicks’ driveway. The encounter quickly escalated into violence.

All hell has broken loose within the Kissimmee (Florida) Police Department. A single bodycam video showing former Officer Andrew Baseggio entering a man’s home, without a warrant, and inflicting violence on him inside his living room, has resulted in Officer Baseggio getting indicted, which has in turn taken down 10 other police officers in that department (including the police chief), found by a grand jury to have lied in an effort to coverup Baseggio’s misconduct from investigators.

Here’s the grand jury’s full presentment:

Cops Tased Autistic Son – After Making Him Participate in Father’s Arrest! (then lied about it)

A Peruvian family who resides in Bradenton, Florida, was pulled over by the Holmes Beach Police Department after an automated license plate reader flagged the vehicle’s plate as possibly being driven by someone without a valid license. The driver was Orlando Diaz, who spoke very little English. The officer asked his son, who is autistic, to translate. The officer then proceeded to have the son translate to his father that he was under arrest, rather than being given a citation. The son became quickly and visibly upset after seeing his father being placed in handcuffs. Shortly afterwards, the father would be thrown on the ground and the autistic son, Francisco Diaz, would also be thrown on the ground and tased several times.

LEAKED: Police Chief’s Anti-First Amendment Message to his Officers

Surprise Police Chief Piña recorded an internal message video for his police officers about a week after the arrest. In it, he defiantly and irrationally claims that there was no First Amendment violation. He also has another officer, who gained valuable experience in First Amendment (and other) violations, while working at the Phoenix Police Department, give the officers advice on how to respond to encounters with so-called First Amendment Auditors.

Here’s the first video I did on this.

Road Workers Assaulted by Drunk Driving Cop, then THEY were Arrested 10 days later

Road construction workers are facing felony assault and kidnapping charges after claiming they were the ones assaulted by a mystery driver. Even though the workers told the responding officers they believed the perpetrator was drunk, they let him drive away without a DUI investigation. It’s a secret case sealed by the courts, and authorities won’t say the name of that driver. As it turns out, the mystery driver was an off-duty police officer. Ten days after the incident, the workers were scheduled to have a TV news interview about the assault by the mystery off-duty cop. But instead, police officers arrested them prior to the interview.

Media report here.

This is the intersection where the incident occurred:

This is the actual photo of the off-duty cop’s car in the construction zone:

UPDATE to the case where my video made the TV news in Idaho. The cop, former Meridian Police Officer Bradley Chambers, who disappeared, has now surfaced at another agency. Also, I now have all the police bodycam footage from the incident. The footage corroborates much of what we already knew. But it also raises new questions.

Here’s my first blog post on this incident with the prior videos and details.
