So pay a third party to do what? Create an echo chamber for myself? To support my own latent confirmation bias? Am I supposed to pay Ground for the convenience of them doing the critical thinking and reading comprehension for me? Why would I pay for a subscription to an entirely useless service, especially when they'll be selling my data to other third parties? Ever consider reaching out to companies worthy of endorsing in exchange for a sponsorship instead of just waiting for and accepting a sponsorship from such questionable companies who will sponsor anyone and everyone just to promote their snake oil, scam/poor quality product, or services which profit off their customers by selling their data?
The officer stated he was arrested for not giving his id, but says in the same breath that they knew who he was. That's pure abuse of power. The goal wasn't to get his name, it was to make him submit to their authority.
They arrested him simply for refusing to answer questions without a lawyer present which is his right. Going by the last thing that happened before they cuffed him.
I was thoroughly disgusted with her spilling all those details to his workmates. He lost his job as a result which will make it hard to file a lawsuit. That's some devastating "lawfare" right there!
That's not a lack of training. That's an utter lack of common sense when dealing with someone believed to be self-harmful. How helpful would it be to someone like that to be arrested? There are lots of places someone can believe is rock bottom, but adding an arrest to any of them would make things substantially worse. That's a lacking in the human decency department.
It's not even a lack of common sense. It's a blatant disregard for all other human life because they arrogantly believe they can do whatever the hell they want simply because they carry a badge and a gun.
I had something similar. 2 police came sneaking up my driveway. I was told my half sister in Alaska had called saying I was suicidal. I had not seen or spoken to her in over 6 years and I lived in Oregon. I was detained and handcuffed, then the one cop called the VA hospital and said they reported I was in the hospital the day before and left against consent. Not sure what patient they spoke to but the VA does not give any information over the phone. I informed the cop that was false as I had the plane ticket in my shirt pocket that I had just returned from Orlando Florida 7 hours prior. No good. They took me to a hospital some 140 miles away, where I spent the weekend. In less than 2 minutes of a doctor entering the room he was signing my release. Same cops had to return and take me home. The one in the copilot seat was writing a novel about me wanting death by cop. I told him to remove that nonsense and he refused. Before taking me to the hospital I asked him to turn off the water to my travel trailer. Instead he disconnected the power. So everything in my refrigerator went bad while the frozen plumbing exploded. He had failed to lock the door as well. That was 2007. My mother died in 2009 and all that nonsense by the half sister was to cut me out of her will. Well done. I didn't get a cent, not even things of my own left with my mother due my traveling. In 2013 I permanently left the US and police and relatives have been of no further problem. That half sister, another half sister as well as a half brother are now all dead. The half brother the first to go ibn 2014 while I was mountain biking in the Andes of Ecuador. Both half sisters died in 2015 while I was living in Nicaragua. So all turned out very well. Greedy bastards. I have a completely tax free income exceeding $2.6 million a year along with my wife who has no desire at all to even visit the US, nor do I. I had lived alone and had no friends as 3 friends had died so no one to come to my assistance. Sure glad I will never have to deal with Nazi US cops again.
cavalierly depriving a person's freedom, destroying their precarious employment and ability to earn a living, how does that demonstrate community care to a vulnerable individual?
That's just it. Cops DON'T care. They are not protectors, they are not guardians, they are not 'sheep dogs' safeguarding the flock. They are ravening wolves among the sheep, tearing apart the flock. And they MUST be stopped.
And we wonder why the suicide rate is so high.. no such thing as real HELP. Our health care and especially our mental health care is an absolute joke in this Country.
It's a damn shame that hiring a lawyer to help you fight any government clown committing a crime against you costs so much that most can't afford to hire one. And shame on Walmart for firing this man..
Any illegal arrest that results in the arrested person losing their job MUST result in the DISMISSAL of the ARRESTING POLICE OFFICERS - PERMANENTLY. The number of people I have seen on this channel & others that have lost jobs because of ILLEGAL arrests based on lies, ego's or WORSE misunderstanding or abuse of the law BY THE COPS. These victims get no or at best VERY LITTLE compensation for their WRONGFUL dismissals so cops need to be held accountable. The fact that people call the cops with potentially false allocations & the cops take it as the word of God & proceed as if the person HAS BEEN FOUND guilty in court & have an arrest warrant issued against them.
They spent more time talking to the employees about his business then they did trying to investigate what was going on with him and whether or not the phone call was legitimate and we wonder why we have so many missing people and so many unsolved murder cases
On your other channel, you said you wished you didnt do the intro for this channel. I just want to say, i listen to it every time, before skipping the promo 😂
I hope the guy gets in touch with civil rights attorneys and sue the crap out this department.... they only arrested him because their feelings were hurt he didn't want to talk....then the female cop went into Walmart and deafened this man character based on a phone call....he just needs to be patient and sue them for every red cent
So a guy is depressed and thinking about killing himself and your response is to arrest him and get him fired from his job? Fucking disgusting... This just proves that a majority of cops care more about making arrests than actually helping people.
This misconduct went beyond getting an arrest. They wanted some sort of additional revenge on him for “inconveniencing” them and revealed case details to random people. Almost felt like they were looking for approval by making him look bad in the conversation.
The police even speaking to his employer/fellow employees is a breach of confidentiality!! That female cop should suffer serious consequences!! She had no right to talk about this guys mental health, his arrest and quoting what he had been saying!! So messed up!
Disgusting behaviour - in a mental health crisis? Let’s go tell your Employer and paint you out to be an asshole just to fuck up your day more, lets tell them you were the problem not us trampling on his rights and fucking railroading him.
Yeah this was a tough one to watch. I'm just glad he didn't resist and risk serious injury to himself. Cases like this get less attention because he wasn't physically harmed but they deserve the same amount considering how invasive and mentally taxing getting arrested can be when someone hasn't done anything wrong.
In the swine's defense...they probably forgot that 'knowing who he was' meant they didn't need his idea. I'm sure they forgot who he was between the time they realized who he was and they demanded his ID. It's not like cops possess anything near human intelligence.
So his ex-wife ruined his life by calling the cops and having them harass him under the guise of a "welfare check." She got exactly what she wanted when she made that call.
@davidlamunyon9087 That vindictive ex wife needs to be fined and jailed. Fake police call. It's not like he was making a noose for himself, or pointing a loaded gun at himself
@@-The-Darksidetheoretically, yeah. but suing the police is a pretty major undertaking. the union fights you at every step, so there are a ton of motions and hearings and resets and delays, and if the attorney isn't working pro bono, he'll have to pay for ALL of that. you're not entitled to an attorney for a civil suit.
Yup, that was the intention. Wife called the death squad for an alleged suicidal man. What a loving wife she is, now her husband is unemployed. He was wellness checked and was found to be too well; now him jobless and that false arrest probably has him loving life.
Performing a welfare check on someone with alleged harmful thoughts, only to arrest him for not answering the cops questions. Then misrepresenting the situation to his employer, getting him fired. These cops did nothing but made this man's life worse. Those cops are disgusting
The ladycop says he’s not detained, then he suddenly is. What makes me mad is, how is arresting him and kidnapping him going to make his life better? Dude even lost his job because the cops lied on him. Hope the man sues and leaves that wife of his.
I had a cop roll up on my buddy and I (I was 60 and he was 45 at the time). The lying cop said that he got a call that said I was doing donuts in the pickup truck parked nearby. Any problems with that? Of course. 1. The truck belonged to neither of us. 2. The hood was cold and the truck had not been moved. 3. The back of the truck had work equipment that would have been thrown around. 4. There were no tire marks or smell of rubber in the air. When I wouldn't give him identification he said "Do you want to go to jail?". I said, "Yeah, I want to go to jail" and walked off on him. Guess what happened? Nothing, that's what. I went inside. The clown was just looking for something to do and didn't count on this old man telling him that he was a g d liar. That got me started filming everything. Now, I never leave the house without the phone being fully charged. Plus, I will film everything, get their name and badge number, ask for a supervisor, and then go file a complaint afterwards. From here on out I say FTP.
Being the subject of a 911 call ACTUALLY DOES abrogate your rights to some extent. Somebody with suicidal ideation is incompetent to dictate whether or not he will engage with emergency personnel. This idiot kept trying to walk away from the police when it was OBVIOUS they weren't finished speaking with him. When you communicate suicidal ideation to your wife, she calls the police, and you're found to be in possession of somebody else's prescription medication, BOO HOO that you don't feew wike talking to the big meanie doo doo head policeman. The guy had his father-in-law's high-blood-pressure medication. Do you know what happens when somebody with NORMAL blood pressure ingests Rx medication which lowers your BP? Their brain can become fatally oxygen starved.
@@troyevitt2437 My mom and dad both killed themselves. With that in mind, I take it seriously. In this case, however, what the wife said was at best not able to be verified by the cops that were all too ready to arrest the man because they got their feelings hurt. As I recall, when they wanted to kill themselves, neither went to work that day.
@@wallebo The wife said he was feeling suicidal. He was found in possession of a medication prescribed to his father-in-law for high blood pressure. If his father-in-law's medication had been Oxy or Vicodin, enough of it could still be fatal, but it could have been that he just wanted to get high. The fact that it was medication to lower the blood pressure, however, ruled out wanting to get high. A person with normal blood pressure would only take such a medication for one reason, to restrict the flow of oxygen to the brain resulting in fatal hypoxia. And Constitution or not, he was rude to walk away from ANYBODY who was obviously still speaking with him. No Constitutional Right trumps courtesy.
Nothing cures depression better than an unlawful arrest and then being slandered to your workplace. They sure did protect and serve this guy, great job officers!
@@sudonymh why are you surprised? the police basically came to his workplace and said "he is a trouble", unless youre friend of manager or boss its an automatic dismission
I’m sure telling all the guy’s business to his employer and getting him fired so that he’s not able to survive is really going to help him not feel like he needs to delete himself. The level of incompetence displayed here is disgusting.
It doesnt actually exist. Congress never passed ANY Law giving government employees immunity. No, that was invented by the Judiciary and both the other branches cheered.
Republicans in the Senate killed any federal reform of qualified immunity because they care much more about protecting bad and lying cops whose cop unions give them money then YOUR rights
It was purely out of retaliation. He's stating that this is an unlawful arrest, he knows he wasn't detained and didn't do anything illegal. Shes standing there listening to him while she knows she messed this situation up beyond belief, and instead of just taking the L and admitting the mistake, she has to run inside to "get even" with the guy *she* engaged with and victimized. This is tyranny
"We're worried about your wellness so we're going to arrest you and tell your employer your medical issues." 3 days after being released from jail, the man's body was found in a river. They sure do know how to help people.
The cops got offended that a mentally distressed individual working at walmart didn't want to chat with them about it, and they retaliated by arresting him on some trumped up charge and gettint him terminated.
@@20storiesundervery true. The way they presented the story made him look like a convicted criminal. The employer made no attempt to give the employee the benefit of doubt.
Once again, a PHONE CALL should not circumvent your rights as a free man! Now he lost his job and his rights violated over a false call. If he says he’s fine, what else is he supposed to do?
The labor laws in America are ridiculous. Why is it legal to fire someone for no reason? Him losing his job is not the fault of the police involved, it's the fault of his employer and the idiotic labor laws.
@@ketchup901it's absolutely the fault of the cops as the way they inform his employers makes it sound like the victim is a criminal, it was so obviously done in bad faith
@@h2lo704 It would not have been possible if labor laws weren't so idiotic. Also, what if he would have actually been a reasonable suspect in a crime but released by police or found not guilty in a court? In this case there is no police misconduct but it is still ridiculous that his employer is allowed to fire him for it.
Scotus ruled that a 911 call alone does not give an officer probable cause it only gives them reasonable suspicion and it is the duty of the officer to develop their own independent probable cause for a stop
@@killvision791i had to call the cops on a neighbor once - long story, but i genuinely had to. he was having some kind of manic episode or something, screaming at the top of his lungs and angrily accusing random neighbors of stealing his car. the cops tried to talk him down and sort of kept him in one area until an ambulance arrived and took him to a hospital. one cop came over to get my statement, and after, i asked if the guy would be okay. the cop is like, "i mean, he's clearly on something, he smells like alcohol and his dad says he's a meth addict. this neighborhood is horrible. this place sucks. this is the second time this month i've had to come out here." i was like, you didn't need to tell me all that stuff about the guy, and i fucking live in this neighborhood lmfao. i just wanted to know if that screaming dude would be all right. you could just say "yes" or "i don't know."
@@zubetp lol all I can say about the cop telling u that is WOW. It's literally against the hippa law's. and listen I know we need cop's but yahh the interaction could have been a little more positive, even about the sucks to come here. How about ya knownif the neighborhood is having problems I can park here for lunch, watch out, and actually be helpful, here's my number, and yah I'm glad I could be of service, poor guy is going through it! Lol we don't mind if a cop has to use force....but only when it's justified
@@zubetp I’m just looking at what is essentially a medical topic from a medical pov: In the medical field everyone is trained on proper privacy stuff and it’s taken extremely seriously, with super complicated procedures and sign this and authorize that and harsh penalties etc.. And then you have these LEO fools; it’s just so incredibly incompetent and pathetic in comparison! 😂
They literally denied a guy I know based on his extreme intelligence. That should tell you they prefer less educated and the most bigoted they can find.
What's more disgusting is that they went to his boss for his job and disparaged him as much as humanly possible. That should be a slander charge, because they don't actually know him and only have this one call to base their opinion on him.
She was butt-hurt because she fucked up by telling him he wasn't detained and he acted on that information by walking away. Telling lies to his employer was her way of getting revenge on him. She should be held personally financially liable for his lost wages and associated monetary losses, as well as for defamation and slander.
So, let me get this right. They have a man with potential mental health issues and could be suicidal. The police then escalate the situation, cause additional stress and tell his employer who then terminates his employment. The man needed help and the police just decided to make his life as difficult as possible.
They are trained to escalate the situation to the point they can take you to jail. They know it will cost you much money to clear your good name. They experience no consequences for their criminal actions.
@@frankarchuleta5427even when they’re sued it’s almost always the taxpayer that’s punished. They might lose their jobs, but they’ll just go work elsewhere. The taxpayer is left holding the bag.
I have such a hard time watching a video that starts out with cops getting their perceived omnipotent power challenged. A bunch of big, fragile egos with exactly the wrong profession.
"It's a welfare check and we're helping!" 🐷🤡 - Unlawful detainment - Attempts to force compliance - Straight up Thought Police behavior - Unlawful arrest/Unlawful search - Slanders him in front of his employer, causing him to lose his job
Why is she allowed to lie so much to the guy's co-workers like that???? Fired for a welfare check and unlawful arrest woooow what an amazing country...
If a cop ever says “take your hands out of your pocket”; regardless if they say you aren’t being detained, you are in fact detained. And if detained illegally make sure you file your complaints and follow up with suit. We need to keep the piggies accountable. Our constitution needs protection more than ever.
It is absurd that the female cop went inside and disclosed all the private information about the welfare check to his employer/co-workers. That is none of their business.
And Wal Mart gets an F, for failing to do any investigation into what happened to this guy, not waiting for it to be resolved in court before firing him, and for being generally a terrible employer and mistreating their employees all over the country.
@@genericalfishtycoon3853 Biggest issue is the lack of training. For example in Finland cops need to pass a 2 year academy training, and the school is a real school where you get a diploma from. In the US, like sheriff's departments, they vote people to be sheriffs or deputies? no training required, just a vote to gain full state law enforcement authority, gun and a badge. Thats insane if you ask me. This female cop and the sarge are utterly incompetent, they dont even know what detained means. She says he is not detained, he says bye and leaves and then she immediately retaliates with detention. Thats fucking illegal - Dana White
You are being arrested for refusing to talk to us without an attorney. You have the right to remain silent, you have the right to an attorney. Can't make up this kind of dumb. 🤦
So i have realized that the Miranda card is not for our sake, it is to remind the cop of what Our Rights are because they dont seem to know them in the first place.
@@dbfjohn2502that's exactly the reason , they used to have to read it off a card. Look up how the card came about originally, after the Miranda vs Arizona case supply companies started making Miranda rights cards for cops so they knew the law when arresting people.
God, that female officer just walked in there and admitted that they arrested him simply because he asserted his right to not be detained when he wasnt legally detained.
WHY is the cop going into his work and "investigating" by telling them all his personal business? They were in the wrong anyway, but if she had just asked them investigative questions that would at least be appropriate to their initial wrongdoing. Wtf.. She was just trying to CYA already by telling them what she thought happened. This is why police need officers/resources that go beyond treating citizens this way.
@gavinwigg8057 HIPPA applies to any PHI (protected health information). When I was a volunteer firefighter, we were warned against the information shared when telling stories. Telling a family member about a call you went to and being vague is ok. Saying it was John Doe who lives on Main street was having a schizophrenic break is against HIPPA. This applies to firefighters and EMS, I'm not sure if it applies to police, but it should.
@@Used_Hamster firefighters can be affected by HIPAA protections, but HIPAA has absolutely no coverage on law enforcement. I'm not making things up - go look it up.
Correct. They should have only told them they need to take him in for questioning and that they're leaving his car there. Just enough info to not put his job in jeopardy. Common sense.
This is proof police do not give 2 💩 about the citizens they are paid to serve and protect. Arresting someone you are sent to help during a supposed mental health crisis is absolutely insane and unhinged.
They even said he would probably be immediately released after being booked. IF he was potentially going to hurt himself...why is the cop so confident they won't get admitted to a facility? Welfare was not the agenda or concern.
I'll be happy when people stop throwing out "serve and protect". It's long been established in court they have no legal obligation to do either one. Time for people to STOP expecting this out of them and support ending qualified immunity.
The guy had too short an attention span to comprehend that the police weren't finished with him. He had expressed suicidal thoughts to his wife and had his father-in-law's high-blood-pressure medication. Care to guess what happens when somebody with normal BP takes medication that lowers your BP? The brain dies of oxygen starvation. The police weren't wrong for compelling his undivided attention; a suicidal person isn't competent to dictate whether they will engage with emergency personnel. The police were, however, wrong for taking him to jail instead of a hospital with a psychiatric unit.
Or he's just depressed and she cares?? I'm married and have dealt with and still deal with depression my whole life. I'd hope if I fall off she tries what she can
@@drumusic5665doubtful. The guy seemed completely fine. It was likely an argument and she needed to show her control over the guy. Either way, how did this help the guy?
Jesus H. Christ! Wife calls because she's worried he husband is going to kill himself, and your take is "probably depressed from her?" With zero evidence of course. What a great you'd be if a buddy was saying the same things. 🤦🏻♂️
The minute anyone calls the police to do a welfare check . You just increased that person's chance of being hurt tenfold. These cops don't know the law at all .
That’s not true. My mom called one of these on me when I was in college and not answering my phone. The encounter took two minutes, was totally safe, and the police were cordial. That’s what happens in 90% of cases. What you watch is the minority of interactions. This is the reason it’s recorded and we watched it.
@@stanleyhaskell8207 I think anyone would say that. But that’s the same with all things. The minority of people get hit by lightning. I’d hate that also.
“That’s okay because if anything does stab me that’s a charge.” Those are the words of someone looking for confrontation. Not of someone trying to help.
Threats of violence and suicide are outside the realm of privacy and anyone can report that, even your medical provider. If you tell your doctor you plan on hurting yourself, they have a duty to report that.
If you try to keep cops from abusing your rights, you’re immediately confrontational, difficult, abusive and even sovereign citizen has popped up. It’s like they are actually describing themselves, i.g. deflecting.
This is a great example of divorce, rape culture. An ex-wife makes a false allegation and the police swoop into destroy his life. They violated his rights which caused a cascade failure and destroyed his entire life. And all the ex-wife had to do was call and make one simple allegation, and the police over backwards to destroy his life
This seems almost as if the ex-wife wanted something on his record in regards to it being either known to be suicidal or an obstruction charge in order to gain something in the divorce, or later down the line. These officers did absolutely nothing to either show any empathy toward him, nor show any knowledge of the actual call they were attending, because as soon as he didn't want to talk to them, the 'welfare check' goes right out of the window
It was an attempted murder. She made a big deal about telling 911 he might be armed and dangerous. High chance cops just mag dump on him for "officer safety". She was trying to up that 50% divorce settlement to 100% by becoming his widow..
I’m English and many American cops are so ingeniously clueless. These cops are the biggest chumps I’ve ever seen on this channel. They lost him his job, his liberty, his dignity. I hope he sues and receives adequate compensation for his distress.
@@ciberzombiegaming8207 So...OP compares "English" to American. The point was that "There are worse countries than the US, why aren't you focused on them?" Instead, the world fixates on USA.

Because we're one of the few countries that can openly criticize our police/government/etc (We're also one of the few countries that records our law enforcement's day-to-day through bodycams too). Try this in Russia. Heck, try this in China. You won't ... well you might, but we'll never hear from you again.

So you're upset with the male cop that arrested him....but not upset with the female cop that went out of her way to smear his name and get him fired. Got it, thanks.
cops will always lie to justify their criminal behavior and the fact the charges were dropped just shows someone knew it was rubbish yet the officers aren't automatically held accountable for their actions, which in my opinion they should be
Aww. The cops cared so much about his mental well-being that they went out of their way to give this guy a lawsuit for a major pay out 🥲 how nice. We need more caring cops like this
he needed help in the mental dept. he was depressed. well at least according to his ex wife, some of his colleges. he even stated he's going through some stuff.
@@Yoder023once he said he was fine, and the cop said he wasn’t detained and was free to go, that should’ve been the end of it. There was nothing indicated that he needed help.
It's amazing that we as citizens are held to the standard of "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" yet those whose ONE JOB is to uphold the law get away with being woefully ignorant of the law.

@@ratagris21 *"Because they have nothing better to do."* Right?!?! There might be actual crimes being committed in their town, and that sh*t can be dangerous!

A simple wellness check doesn't generate revenue for their jobs ,their municipalities and for everyone involved in the court and prison industry. Falsely arresting an innocent person and ruining their lives does. Plus they don't have to worry about being in any danger by trying to arrest real criminals.
I hope he sued both the Police department and Wal-mart for the illegal arrest and getting him fired from his job based on Hearsay from his disgruntled Ex-wife

He did actually identify himself. The first question they asked him is are you Nathan argent and he said yes. These cops are a disgrace
Fire that lady ckop
I REALLY don't appreciate the female cop going in to tell random employees about another person mental health. Absolutely reckless.
Right! What happened to medical privacy?!
Privacy breach AND soliciting for "evidence".
The female cop showed no compassion whatsoever for the man. She's a cop. So, par for the course.
I was thoroughly disgusted with her spilling all those details to his workmates. He lost his job as a result which will make it hard to file a lawsuit. That's some devastating "lawfare" right there!
It is criminal.
That's not a lack of training. That's an utter lack of common sense when dealing with someone believed to be self-harmful. How helpful would it be to someone like that to be arrested? There are lots of places someone can believe is rock bottom, but adding an arrest to any of them would make things substantially worse. That's a lacking in the human decency department.

It's a lack of accountability. As long hey are protected by qualified immunity, there is no reason to worry about rights violations.
This one truly made my blood boil. Those cops failed in their duty in every conceivable way.
I had something similar. 2 police came sneaking up my driveway. I was told my half sister in Alaska had called saying I was suicidal. I had not seen or spoken to her in over 6 years and I lived in Oregon. I was detained and handcuffed, then the one cop called the VA hospital and said they reported I was in the hospital the day before and left against consent. Not sure what patient they spoke to but the VA does not give any information over the phone. I informed the cop that was false as I had the plane ticket in my shirt pocket that I had just returned from Orlando Florida 7 hours prior. No good. They took me to a hospital some 140 miles away, where I spent the weekend. In less than 2 minutes of a doctor entering the room he was signing my release. Same cops had to return and take me home. The one in the copilot seat was writing a novel about me wanting death by cop. I told him to remove that nonsense and he refused. Before taking me to the hospital I asked him to turn off the water to my travel trailer. Instead he disconnected the power. So everything in my refrigerator went bad while the frozen plumbing exploded. He had failed to lock the door as well.
That was 2007. My mother died in 2009 and all that nonsense by the half sister was to cut me out of her will. Well done. I didn't get a cent, not even things of my own left with my mother due my traveling.
In 2013 I permanently left the US and police and relatives have been of no further problem. That half sister, another half sister as well as a half brother are now all dead. The half brother the first to go ibn 2014 while I was mountain biking in the Andes of Ecuador. Both half sisters died in 2015 while I was living in Nicaragua. So all turned out very well. Greedy bastards. I have a completely tax free income exceeding $2.6 million a year along with my wife who has no desire at all to even visit the US, nor do I. I had lived alone and had no friends as 3 friends had died so no one to come to my assistance.
Sure glad I will never have to deal with Nazi US cops again.
Amen
The lack of training and basic common sense from these cops is astounding.
cavalierly depriving a person's freedom, destroying their precarious employment and ability to earn a living, how does that demonstrate community care to a vulnerable individual?
That's just it. Cops DON'T care. They are not protectors, they are not guardians, they are not 'sheep dogs' safeguarding the flock. They are ravening wolves among the sheep, tearing apart the flock.
And they MUST be stopped.
Or even the ones who aren't vulnerable. Satan is there for that.
If the man wasn't in a mindset to delete himself before, now he definitely is. They really helped him out a lot.
They decided he didnt want to kill himself badly enough, this was their way of nudging him over the line. You know, “help” him until he was there.

Any illegal arrest that results in the arrested person losing their job MUST result in the DISMISSAL of the ARRESTING POLICE OFFICERS - PERMANENTLY. The number of people I have seen on this channel & others that have lost jobs because of ILLEGAL arrests based on lies, ego's or WORSE misunderstanding or abuse of the law BY THE COPS. These victims get no or at best VERY LITTLE compensation for their WRONGFUL dismissals so cops need to be held accountable. The fact that people call the cops with potentially false allocations & the cops take it as the word of God & proceed as if the person HAS BEEN FOUND guilty in court & have an arrest warrant issued against them.
Wonder why an ex wife would lie to get someone in trouble? 😂
This is sooo dumb!!! To arrest someone for just standing there!!!
What makes them think. You HAVE to talk to them
i guess he's lucky that, someone having a mental health crisis, didn't decide to commit SBC, because i have no doubt they'd do it. great "help" guys.
They spent more time talking to the employees about his business then they did trying to investigate what was going on with him and whether or not the phone call was legitimate and we wonder why we have so many missing people and so many unsolved murder cases
Crazy this cop is just telling all these people in the store his personal business. Lowkey awful.
On your other channel, you said you wished you didnt do the intro for this channel. I just want to say, i listen to it every time, before skipping the promo 😂
I hope the guy gets in touch with civil rights attorneys and sue the crap out this department.... they only arrested him because their feelings were hurt he didn't want to talk....then the female cop went into Walmart and deafened this man character based on a phone call....he just needs to be patient and sue them for every red cent
So a guy is depressed and thinking about killing himself and your response is to arrest him and get him fired from his job? Fucking disgusting... This just proves that a majority of cops care more about making arrests than actually helping people.
This misconduct went beyond getting an arrest. They wanted some sort of additional revenge on him for “inconveniencing” them and revealed case details to random people. Almost felt like they were looking for approval by making him look bad in the conversation.
Literally making his life 10x more depressing. I hope he's okay.

It's unreal the number of police that think that laws and rights vanish just because they "got a call".
it goes even deeper, many feel that just because they say so, you are required to do so. and will enforce that misguided feeling with force.
I had a cop roll up on my buddy and I (I was 60 and he was 45 at the time). The lying cop said that he got a call that said I was doing donuts in the pickup truck parked nearby. Any problems with that? Of course. 1. The truck belonged to neither of us. 2. The hood was cold and the truck had not been moved. 3. The back of the truck had work equipment that would have been thrown around. 4. There were no tire marks or smell of rubber in the air. When I wouldn't give him identification he said "Do you want to go to jail?". I said, "Yeah, I want to go to jail" and walked off on him. Guess what happened? Nothing, that's what. I went inside. The clown was just looking for something to do and didn't count on this old man telling him that he was a g d liar. That got me started filming everything. Now, I never leave the house without the phone being fully charged. Plus, I will film everything, get their name and badge number, ask for a supervisor, and then go file a complaint afterwards. From here on out I say FTP.
Being the subject of a 911 call ACTUALLY DOES abrogate your rights to some extent. Somebody with suicidal ideation is incompetent to dictate whether or not he will engage with emergency personnel.
This idiot kept trying to walk away from the police when it was OBVIOUS they weren't finished speaking with him.

As I recall, when they wanted to kill themselves, neither went to work that day.
@@wallebo The wife said he was feeling suicidal.
He was found in possession of a medication prescribed to his father-in-law for high blood pressure.
If his father-in-law's medication had been Oxy or Vicodin, enough of it could still be fatal, but it could have been that he just wanted to get high.
The fact that it was medication to lower the blood pressure, however, ruled out wanting to get high. A person with normal blood pressure would only take such a medication for one reason, to restrict the flow of oxygen to the brain resulting in fatal hypoxia.
And Constitution or not, he was rude to walk away from ANYBODY who was obviously still speaking with him. No Constitutional Right trumps courtesy.

@@robv5834I'd sure hate to be in minority.
That's probably why the ex-wife called.
@@stanleyhaskell8207 I think anyone would say that. But that’s the same with all things. The minority of people get hit by lightning. I’d hate that also.

“That’s okay because if anything does stab me that’s a charge.”
Those are the words of someone looking for confrontation. Not of someone trying to help.
Where the fuck is their right to go and tell his boss and coworkers that he is suicidal?!
HIPPA violation. Add that to the list.
that part pissed me off the most.
Yep, she had no right to violate his medical privacy and defame his character. She needs to be sued.
Exactly! These idiots make me sick!
Threats of violence and suicide are outside the realm of privacy and anyone can report that, even your medical provider. If you tell your doctor you plan on hurting yourself, they have a duty to report that.
Telling coworkers his business, someone help this dude. 🤦♀️
No one will help him since Americans are total narcissists and only care about themselves or when something happens to them.
Police love to call someone “confrontational” when they’re the ones who approached
If you try to keep cops from abusing your rights, you’re immediately confrontational, difficult, abusive and even sovereign citizen has popped up. It’s like they are actually describing themselves, i.g. deflecting.
This is a great example of divorce, rape culture. An ex-wife makes a false allegation and the police swoop into destroy his life. They violated his rights which caused a cascade failure and destroyed his entire life. And all the ex-wife had to do was call and make one simple allegation, and the police over backwards to destroy his life
This seems almost as if the ex-wife wanted something on his record in regards to it being either known to be suicidal or an obstruction charge in order to gain something in the divorce, or later down the line. These officers did absolutely nothing to either show any empathy toward him, nor show any knowledge of the actual call they were attending, because as soon as he didn't want to talk to them, the 'welfare check' goes right out of the window
As soon as he said he was fine, it should have ended. There was nothing else he could do to prove he needed any help.
It was an attempted murder. She made a big deal about telling 911 he might be armed and dangerous. High chance cops just mag dump on him for "officer safety". She was trying to up that 50% divorce settlement to 100% by becoming his widow..
Yeah and then she tells them he must have stolen his father in laws blood pressure pills. She was definitely trying to fuck with him.
It's almost like the welfare check isn't their concern....weird.
I’m English and many American cops are so ingeniously clueless. These cops are the biggest chumps I’ve ever seen on this channel. They lost him his job, his liberty, his dignity. I hope he sues and receives adequate compensation for his distress.
Be serious, most cops in most countries are far more openly corrupt than US cops. We just _see_ them more, because of bodycams.
Clearly you've never been to Russia......
@@glen603 i been, so? does worse example make usa a good country? then russia is good country because look how it is in iran or north korea.
@@ciberzombiegaming8207OP literally said “worst in the world”
@@ciberzombiegaming8207 So...OP compares "English" to American. The point was that "There are worse countries than the US, why aren't you focused on them?" Instead, the world fixates on USA. You know why? Because we're one of the few countries that can openly criticize our police/government/etc (We're also one of the few countries that records our law enforcement's day-to-day through bodycams too). Try this in Russia. Heck, try this in China. You won't ... well you might, but we'll never hear from you again.
So...he was arrested for exercising his right to a lawyer. Hmm.
That cop is now personally liable for his loss of wages, due to her willful incompetence.
ATA really makes things happen. As of my typing this over $5500.00 of the nearly $7000 donated has been since this video came out. My Kudos to all of us that help this person correct the wrongs to egregiously done to him. He's still FAR short of the $25,000 goal needed for a decent lawyer and living expenses since being fired, but the ATA community has certainly shown their love. Please continue to do so. Be well.
That they FIRED him for being s*icidal/having real bad mental health is SO GROSS!!
That made me equaly as mad as the male police officer did
I hope the jury keeps this in mind during the trial.
@@Figgy20000Charges were all dropped
So you're upset with the male cop that arrested him....but not upset with the female cop that went out of her way to smear his name and get him fired.
Got it, thanks.
@@downhomesunset during the Civil trial he better win
They fired him for being arrested on the job. This all comes back to the cops.
They don't know what confrontational means. They also filed a fraudulent police report.
cops will always lie to justify their criminal behavior and the fact the charges were dropped just shows someone knew it was rubbish yet the officers aren't automatically held accountable for their actions, which in my opinion they should be
Of course they did. They are cops. They lie as easily as they breathe.
Aww. The cops cared so much about his mental well-being that they went out of their way to give this guy a lawsuit for a major pay out 🥲 how nice. We need more caring cops like this
😂😂😂 lmao cause you are spot on!
Just cops giving away more taxpayer money.
Title is wrong because he never needed any help. The cop just had to flex their power for no real reason. His ex made a false call.
Title isn't wrong, blame his wife calling the police when he's walking around trying to calm himself
Exactly. He never needed any help whatsoever. His wife made a false call. Once he said he was fine, that should’ve been the end of it.
he needed help in the mental dept. he was depressed.
well at least according to his ex wife, some of his colleges.
he even stated he's going through some stuff.
@@עמית-ג6כ Because believe all wahmenz right? 🙄
@@Yoder023once he said he was fine, and the cop said he wasn’t detained and was free to go, that should’ve been the end of it. There was nothing indicated that he needed help.
Female cop doesn't want to detain him. She just wants him to want to be detained.
It's amazing that we as citizens are held to the standard of "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" yet those whose ONE JOB is to uphold the law get away with being woefully ignorant of the law.
Thank you!! It has to stop! It's the culture of it all!! Keep fighting for equal justice ⚖ no more immunity and stop paying taxpayers money for lawsuits!!
Police unions ensure incompetence is everyone else's problem except the cop.
the worst part is it's intentional. QI only works if "I didn't know", stay stupid stay employed....
Why do these corrupt cops have to escalate to 100 so fast. You were here to make a wellfare check, not arrest a criminal.
Because they have nothing better to do.
@@ratagris21
*"Because they have nothing better to do."*
Right?!?! There might be actual crimes being committed in their town, and that sh*t can be dangerous! Much better to harass and abuse someone who may be having self-deletion thoughts. That person is almost certainly not going to do anything that could endanger the swine.
The only criminals in the scenario were the cops.
A simple wellness check doesn't generate revenue for their jobs ,their municipalities and for everyone involved in the court and prison industry.
Falsely arresting an innocent person and ruining their lives does.
Plus they don't have to worry about being in any danger by trying to arrest real criminals.
@@evanr1784 Yes, in my mind cops are the true domestic terrorists and born cowards.
I hope he sued both the Police department and Wal-mart for the illegal arrest and getting him fired from his job based on Hearsay from his disgruntled Ex-wife
The lady cop lying to the other store employees to make herself feel righteous about this abuse literally sickens me.
Classic narcissism.
1. Exaggerated / false ideas of their own importance, abilities, power and/or identity.
2. Lack of empathy.
3. Need for excessive admiration.
4. Sense of entitlement.
5. Envy.
6. Interpersonal exploitative behavior.
7. Manipulative
People with 'antagonistic narcissism' may have a strong need to be better than others, may lie, cheat, gaslight, or put others down to appear dominant.
That's basically a point-perfect description of every pig in the US...
Make a video on the cop that stole $900
