In Park City, Utah, a 73 year old bicyclist named Gary Peacock followed a 22 year old driver into a park. Claiming the young driver drove “too close” to him, as Peacock was riding his bike in the road, Peacock forcibly held the young man in his car, refusing to allow him to leave, as he called the police. The 22 year old, Pierce Kempton, uploaded the video to social media and it went viral. I spoke with him and got the full story.

Here’s the citation that was issued to Pierce:

This is the Utah statute that Pierce was initially charged with:

In Phoenix, Arizona, cops were called by a Circle K gas station in reference to a white man they wanted trespassed from their store. When they arrived, the white man pointed across the street to a black man, claiming that the man was the actual culprit. Just taking his word for it, Phoenix officers Ben Harris and Kyle Sue violently attacked the black man. His name is Tyron McAlpin. He’s completely deaf and has cerebral palsy.

Officers Harris and Sue took him to the ground, punched him in the head at least 10 times and tased him at least 4 times, all the while shouting commands that he was unable to comprehend.

The Supreme Court has made clear that “one of the most precious of the liberties safeguarded by the Bill of Rights” is the sacred promise to every American, enshrined in the First Amendment, that citizens enjoy the freedom to complain about their leaders. Lozman v. Riviera Beach, 585 U.S. 87, 101 (2018). But the city of Surprise, Arizona and its mayor, Skip Hall, broke that promise, arresting Plaintiff Rebekah Massie in front of her 10-year-old daughter for criticizing a public official at a city council meeting.

The complaint:

Massie v. City of Surprise – Complaint_2Download

UPDATE October 24, 2024:

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.

On August 13, 2024, Anchorage police responded to a 911 call involving Easter Leafa, who was reported to have threatened her sister with a knife. What followed was a series of events that ended with Officer Alexander Roman discharging his weapon, leading to Easter’s death. The State of Alaska’s Department of Law, after reviewing the case, concluded that the officer’s actions were legally justified. But does the newly released bodycam footage contradict the report?

When Cops Ask to Come Inside, DON’T do what This Guy Did!

This involves the Moweaqua Police Department and happened in Macon County, Illinois. This man was being investigated for allegedly making a threat on social media. Police officers showed up at his door without a warrant. They asked to speak with him. He was apparently lawfully armed at the time. He invited them in. Once inside, they wanted to disarm him. Not being agreeable, he asked them to leave. They refused. It all went downhill from there. This all could have been easily avoided.

Original full video, with explanation, is here.

Rhyker Earl, 26, suffered a seizure on the night of Sunday, Sept. 8, at a home in DeMotte, Indiana, about an hour and 15 minutes south and east of Chicago. His grandmother called 911 for help, and Jasper County sheriff’s officers came to the home. Earl suffered from epileptic seizures. Having just had a seizure, he was agitated and noncompliant with attempts by EMS personnel to take him to the hospital. One of the deputies took Early to the ground, whereupon other deputies, as well as EMS personnel, forcibly held him to the ground. He was handcuffed and restrained in a prone position on the floor of his grandmother’s kitchen. They repeatedly injective him with powerful sedatives, as they held him down. A short while later, he would be dead.

On the afternoon of October 8, 2022, Anthony Silva’s life was irrevocably altered when Stanislaus County deputies unleashed a brutal assault, leaving him quadriplegic and eventually causing his death on September 10, 2023. Renowned California Civil Rights Attorney, Dale Galipo, filed a lawsuit on Anthony’s behalf. He joined me to explain the current status of that litigation, including the outrageous fact that no government investigation ever occurred regarding the circumstances of Silva’s injury and ultimate death.

Idaho Cop Gets Violent with Innocent Kids | Justified, or no?

A retired California police officer moved to Idaho and began working at the Meridian (Idaho) Police Department. In June of this year, a 16 year old kid crashed his dirt bike about a mile from his home. Later, when his brothers went to retrieve the bike for their brother (who was in the hospital), they were approached by Officer Bradley Chambers. Encountering the least bit of resistance from the boys, who had just struggled to load the bike into a truck, Officer Chambers chose violence.

Original video that was age restricted (probably due to the dirt bike wreck footage):

UPDATE Video, Sept. 24, 2024:

Police Report:

This shows the wreck scene, with police present at the scene. Two of the brothers who were later involved in the arrest incident are also at the scene at the time. The dirt bike had already been removed by one of the homeowners:

How Cops Scammed my Client and Took an Innocent Guy to Jail (and got sued)

DJ was driving to the store to get feed for his numerous farm animals. He was driving his crappy little “farm car” that did not have a valid inspection sticker. He was pulled over for that reason by the Martinsburg (WV) Police Department. Instead of being issued a warning or citation for the inspection issue, within seconds he ended up being arrested. Despite having committed no crime, other than the inspection sticker violation, he ended up being taken to jail in handcuffs and charged for being a drug dealer. All charges were subsequently dropped. A lawsuit was filed.

Here’s my first video on this incident, from about a year ago.

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.
