Cops See a Guy Who Looks Similar to the Actual Suspect (so they just grab him and call it a day)

In Las Vegas, a police officer saw a man with a gun. It wasn’t actually a real gun – just a “finger gun” – a harmless hand gesture. Though harmless, the officer was not happy about it, and decided to get his buddies and go teach the guy a lesson. The officer noticed that the suspect was a black male driving a black Dodge Durango, and saw him turn into a nearby parking garage.

The suspect parked, took the garage elevator to the ground floor and when the elevator opened, there were no cops waiting for him. He walked off and probably had a good time that night. But, when another black male, who had entered the parking garage in a different car, after the black Durango also subsequently took the same elevator to the ground floor, cops were waiting for him – the wrong guy, ready to teach him a lesson….

In Limerick, Maine, three Maine State Police troopers arrived at the home of Justin Savage and his girlfriend Shawna Morse on a disturbance call. Within fifteen minutes of their arrival, they would basically beat and torture Justin, throwing him in a police car handcuffed, with leg restraints, bloodied, and with a hood covering his face so that he couldn’t see or breathe. They charged him with numerous crimes and issued a press release two days later, accusing him of numerous crimes, including breaking the ankle of one of the troopers during the incident. The officers were not wearing body cams. Fortunately however, video just recently surfaced showing what actually happened that night…

At around 1:45 a.m., the Grand Prairie Police Department responded to a 911 call. But because of a dispatch error, officers went to the wrong house. The homeowner, Thomas Simpson, woke up to his dogs barking, armed himself, and stepped into his garage—only to be met with officers who, according to him, never announced they were police. Within moments, shots were fired, and Simpson was hit in the leg.

It was just before 1 a.m. in Mansfield, Ohio. A 67-year-old man set out on a simple errand: to grab a 50-cent soda from a vending machine at the Car Wash & Mini Mart, just a block from his home. But he would never get that soda, because the Mansfield Police Department rolled up on him and immediately detained him for allegedly jaywalking across this empty street. Knowing that he did nothing wrong, the man complained. But he was then forcefully grabbed and then slammed to the parking lot asphalt, severely injuring him. An army of officers then surrounded him, mocked him and belittled him. All the while ignoring his obvious physical injuries.

Police officer Brandon LeBlanc left Louisiana after 17 years of law enforcement experience to become a brand new rookie cop in Juneau, Alaska. But just months into his new job, a routine call turns into a brutal moment caught on camera that shocks an entire community, sparks protest, and forces the City to take action and to release the body cam and dash cam footage. Discovering the rookie officer was previously in Louisiana for 17 years, the community is left wondering why he left Louisiana in the first place…

Police officers in Jacksonville, Florida arrived at the home of a 44-year-old deaf man after a reported domestic disturbance. Despite knowing the man was deaf, officers immediately began shouting orders, which they knew could not be heard – or easily followed. Within seconds, they slammed the man onto the ground and continued shouting un-heard orders, as the man cried out that he had done nothing wrong. Afterwards, the officers mocked the deaf man, telling him that he should have “just listened.”

UPDATE to yesterday’s video about the incident in Huntington, West Virginia, where two women were threatened and forced to stop recording the arrest of a homeless man. As it turns out, the arrest was captured by a county surveillance camera, which shows the man’s head being slammed into the police cruiser by a Cabell County Sheriff’s Office deputy, as the actual elected sheriff (Doug Adams) casually observes from a few feet away. It also shows the Chief Deputy, Chuck Zerkle, grabbing a woman who witnessed the head slam attempting to record what was happening from a public sidewalk, as was more fully discussed in yesterday’s video. But, the video has apparently been altered…

Melvindale, Michigan police officer Matthew Furman was previously featured in two of my videos – both showing him escalating a minor traffic stop into violent uses of force. In both videos I asked, why is Furman still employed when he has been previously charged, suspended, fired, and then re-hired? He has now been criminally charged for both incidents I previously covered. But his lawyer quickly responded with a bold prediction…

Matthew Edwards, a hard working welder, had just worked a 14 hour shift and was waiting to turn into his neighborhood in Troy, New York. A marked police car was waiting at a red light in front of him at the intersection where he was waiting to make a left turn onto the street where he lives. But when the light turned green, the police car didn’t move. After waiting a few moments, Matthew briefly honked his horn to alert the distracted police officer that the light had turned green. Within 5 minutes, Matthew would be violently arrested by that officer, Taylor Ganache with the Troy Police Department.
