Well considering all sides, once you approach someone and they resist the most basic questions to help keep their own community protected, it gives reason to believe something suspicious might be going on. Hard to think that nothing is suspicious when the resident starts being argumentative with authority who started off polite. They both needed to apologize for starting off on the wrong foot and restart the convo with clear heads.
@@nathancourse8852 did he not give him the address and offer to buzz him in??? i’d be put off too if someone called me out for not “belonging somewhere” cuz they drove by and said i was suspicious-looking for sitting on the patio in between picking up trash
But the kid did give him his college ID which proves he is a student and he's clearly working there. He also offered to buzz him into the building to further prove he lived there..
but does a college ID prove that you are living in a certain residence ? i think i also used my old college ID before to buy student meals even though im an adult. so any1 could have faked it..

And they have no idea how to deescalate the situation. The faculty member comes and says he knows him, but they make him stand ten metres away so he has to shout to try to calm the dude down, which obviously doesn´t work because who calms down when someone yells at you? Let the man go to him and talk to him quietly and let him know they will deal with it. But the cops don´t want a discussion they can´t hear happening because they want to control the situation that they caused. Even at the end the cop couldn´t let it go. He had to keep talking. Just say "I´m going to put your licence here and then walk away. Sorry for the inconvenience." and then do it and walk away. But no, he needed the last word. No wonder he got fired.
That is a different officer. It was the other officer, the first one, who irritated him. The other officers had nothing to do with it, they were made to believe that the young man was dangerous or holding a weapon.
Can't believe he called for back up and saying he has some kind of blunt object wtf he's obviously trying to make him sound more dangerous by saying that
This isn't some cop worrying about some guy picking up trash, this is a dictator mentality of a psycho pig on a power trip trying to control someone because of his ego and desire to feel above others. This is the lowest type of human being, worse than murderers, because they usually are murderers, but have the power trip and use the badge to hide behind. Sick sick sick individuals.
It is not pride. I see this type of thinking all the time on subjects which have nothing to do with this. Once someone starts down a mental pathway they keep to that direction because they can do nothing else. It is why if a person who commonly debates in poor faith hears certain words they will make an assumption based on the data they already have set in their mind before the conversation even takes place. Then continue to speak as though they are right even after being proven wrong. We are more animal than some think. The act of pride in this case would actually be a fear response in this case. Someone attempting to control the situation because they are confused. It might be a fear response as you said though it could also be something else.
One man with a gun cannot handle a student so he calls for backup then they couldn’t handle him so they called for the U.S army who arrived with tanks and planes
That's the standard procedure. Alternatively, could have either smacked the student a$$ immediately or shot him dead without asking questions. But ya know...that would have been painfully stupid and kinda racist.

Even after the cop realized he was in the wrong he didn't even apologize, just acted like he was doing the poor guy a favor by giving him back his ID. Cmon man, treat people better than that!!!
He pursues the brother for “trespassing” on his own property, pulls a gun on him for…nothing. Then lies to his back-up to take down this dangerous felon after identifying him as a resident there Yet even after confirmation from Zayd’s WHITE boss and fellow resident, Smylie continues to harass the man wanting to do his day’s work So after internal investigation Smylie gets a paid vacation and unblemished service record. ….and that is not racial profiling??
“Some kind of blunt object in his hand” was intentional and malicious to make the responding backup officers have a heightened sense of a threat so that when they showed up, they’d be more inclined to draw. This officer knew exactly what the “some kind of blunt object” was.
Exactly. He made it sound much worse purposely. Glad he is off the force. I think there are a lot of amazing police officers that truly want to make a difference but there are also ones like this guy that lets his ego get in the way. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity.
Definition of disingenuous, with an added stench of lethality. Wish we could be sure he'll never work as a cop again -- but we can't. There needs to be a registry for people like this.
No, this cop is part of the bad bunch of cops. You should never hate the police in general. You can hate the "bad cops" like this officer, but not all cops are bad. Think twice before writing a comment.
@@JoeKing69Exactly. I know too many cops personally to think ACAB, but BS like this is enraging and makes it easy to sympathize with why people say that. Disgusting and shameful.

When the officer claimed his trash stick was "some sort of blunt weapon" when he clearly knew what it was seems like an indication he was trying to make the suspect look more dangerous than he actually is. Especially since that was his main message back to base. Blunt weapon armed black men being aggressive.
Obviously TRYING to set him up to be hurt by ANOTHER Cop, by saying "He has some sort of blunt objectcin his hand."( An embarrassment to our 'real' hard working, and very needed Police Force.)
wild Flowers No one denies the need for police, nor the difficulty of the job. But some, like the doofus pig in this case, make the job harder. And they’re too often tolerated and/or protected by other cops.
Reminds me of that footage of soldiers in a helicopter who told their backup officer, a man had a rocket launcher. in reality it was a camera with a tele. That was how they got their license to kill.
Not to mention if he's a student it's also entirely possible his drivers license says a different address than his college dorm - maybe even a different state. Had he turned that over to him it would only 'prove' to the cop that he was lying, which is probably why he handed him the student ID.
Who is the jerk that called the police on the person picking up trash? Anyone with half a brain cell can deduce that this man, listening to music, is picking up trash.
#1 Pollock No at first he thought it was a trespasser then he went and to check it out and ask for ID he gave him it ask for proof of living and he won’t comply
True. Either way he was doing a good thing for the people living there and causing no harm. If I was a police officer I would have appreciated him for the work he is doing.
Ok so every robber should just walk around with a clamper and a bucket? If that guy would have just answer the cops question calmy, so the cop could rule out that he was a trespasser the cop would have left within a couple of minutes.
Normally I would agree with you. However, those college students are pretty crafty! He could have been casing the joint for multiple TV sets, large-scale evidence of dancing, and oh yes, illegal walking. (FOR THOSE WHO DON'T GET IT...THIS IS SARCASM)
But sir how do you explain these kind of officers I mean how do they even pass the academy with this behavior?? Or is 'checking' the behavior or attitude of the officers in the academy not necessary for them??
Not some officers, this is the result of systems of power, influence and control. This officer is doing exactly what he has been trained to do, which is to assume that he has carte blanc authority that is not allowed to be questioned, and that his assumptions are valid until proven otherwise. I bristle at your invocation of bad apples rhetoric
watching these videos, sometimes i feel like most of these cops in the videos are only cops because it's the only way they have "power" over people. pathetic lol
🤣 just listen to the police officer mate, detained doesnt mean arrested, and unarmed doesnt mean not dangerous, there are many cases of officers getting assaulted from a unamred suspect
@Khair Muhammad it was a metal rod and the cop would be scared because he doesn't want to shoot him cops just dont kill people they think of what their family goes through and all that but you need to look at the cop suicide rate because people kill themselves by cops by rushing them or threating with a gun or pole
@@bloodninja2237 imagine judging a person whos only saying the truth. Imagine defending a power tripped trigger happy insane police officer, pls severe yourself from the gene pool.
He could be pretending to pick up trash and wait for someone to leave their house so he can break in. *That's their thought process* EDIT: I've bolded a portion of my comment since some people can't read
CrNessata if that were true, once in the building, then what? Pretend to be a cleaner and wait for someone to leave their flat and catch the door before it closes? Common sense says no, that’s a stupid idea, the accused is not stupid, the police officer is clearly a boob. I mean if the accused is going to go to elaborate lengths to break into a student house, of all places, why then waste all that time and energy of pretending and then create noise by breaking the door? If he knows how to pick locks, then the accused wouldn’t pretend anything.
I feel that way when I have to verify myself with the fkn cable company when there is an issue. I am like if some stranger wants to call you to fix my service I give full permission. Who in their right mind would call the cable company if they didn't have to.
CameroonKing 00 I know what you mean but I don’t even trust these types of cops to even fight crimes to tell you the truth. I can imagine that they harass countless innocent people all the time in the midst of investigating the “crimes” they find. These types of cops don’t need a badge period. Because even if they choose to focus on real crimes, they likely target people of color.
John Smyl is the cops name. He resigned, but will get $69,000.00!!! Let's call, write, and make our voices heard that he should be taken off Payroll Immediately!!! Paid time off is NOT a PUNISHMENT!!! This isn't right!!! Call, write, spread the word!!!
“I’m just checking you have a right to live here”. Gestapo. First let me check that you have a right to step on the constitution. What crime are you investigating? Who complained I was trespassing? Who asked me to leave?
May the one which never mistaken a bucket for a weapon throw the first stone. Don't judge the cop so quick buddy, that bucket is very similar to an assault rifle. Said no one ever.
Yes. I was thinking the same thing. I’m so impressed with that young man standing up for himself. Courageous and obviously very intelligent… and putting himself in dangerous position. I hope I’d have the same inner strength as he did in this twisted situation. 💫
The young guy needed to show his I.D. and be detained to prove that he belongs there. The older why guy just said yep this is my property. And just like that the older white guy was cleared, believed and wasn't harassed. That was bullsh*t.
@@EpicBunty Uh, it was 1 bully. The rest of the cops had nothing to do with it. They were just made to believe the young man was dangerous and suspicious.
@@chubby_cheesecake_cheeks Same lol. In my country, education takes 4-6 years depeding on the kind of police academy you want to go to. Then the police academy takes 2 years to complete.

When I first watched this I was 16, I thought the best solution to this was to comply with with officer for safety and to avoid the confrontation. But now as a man now, I realize the man was standing his ground against a bigger issue than a gun. Respect to the man for fighting for his integrity.
Students shows his school ID and continued to be harassed, Director asked do he work here and says yes I’m the director and they believed him without doubt that’s crazy!
Exactly!! Officer: Is this one of your properties? White guy: absolutely it is Officer: ok The white guy could've said that he owns the world and the officer would be like: Ok, you're totally believable, sir.
Jonathon Galmore how does a student ID not help enough? Security at my school is always like “you have a student ID?” There you go “okay you’re good to go!”
L X uh no? He questioned him and believed he was trespassing which he wasn’t. He was a student there and he even showed him his student ID. Isn’t that enough for the cop? Also the cop had violated the departments policy

I hate SO MUCH how he kept saying “just making sure you belong here” that alone speaks VOLUMES and he said it more than once. This is very sad and I am sorry for this man; just being a regular human existing like we all should be able to do peacefully and respectfully ❤
It’s so frustrating to see the kid trying so hard just to defend himself and the officer isn’t even trying to listen. I can’t imagine the rage he felt. Poor kid was just trying to do some good for the community.
It's saddening that we can't even help clean our communities without being treated like a bomb threat. I bet some stupid old Karen called the cops on the poor student too.
For real no wonder he resigned. If you feel threatened by someone picking up garbage not only are you in the wrong field you should probably never go outside
For anyone who got recommended this and is curious what happened after: The police officer resigned, and Atkinson filed suit against the town, but settled out of court for $125,000
"Some kind of blunt object in his hands." Dude, you KNOW what that item is. He afraid he's gonna get pinched to death? This cop needs to be fired for good if he hasn't already. Intimidating someone picking up garbage is ridiculous.
@@abz2000123 my friend had the cops called on him about 2 years ago cause he was carrying a camera bag. Haha. The caller claimed she thought it was full of weapons.
I'm glad I took law and criminal justice as my highschool electives..back when I wanted to become a cop. He has no reasonable suspicion for anything or probable cause to be pulling out his taser or firearm. This cop needs to be fired and given time in prison with felony charges of abusing his powers and sabotaging his proper code under the law. UNDER THE LAW.. not above it!!
Right? Even at the time the cop is talking to the student like he is the man's handler. The cop got worse and worse as he went believing his own power. Was it little man syndrome? Hmmm
@@noahjohnson8968 So you would be perfectly fine if a police officer drove up to your house while you were raking leaves and told you to put the weapon (the rake) down and made you give him identification showing you that you actually live there?

They werent trying to arrest him...if I was a burglar I could easily start picking up trash around a complex checking whose home and maping the area. And any burglar can sinply read off the address they’re at...doesnt confirm anything
rose patiag totally unacceptable. When there are real criminals they can’t oder won’t do anything but when there are people like this man just picking up trash then they try to play the strong police man. Hilarious.
Well all you stupid people some crimes cops are not made aware until after they happened but this guy was in front of the police officer and though he did nothing wrong, well he refused to comply for a little. Cops are humans, Some cops racially profile, A LOT DON’T so get over it. This is the world we live in and if you don’t like it, take it up with a official.
This guy has total rights to get mad. He was doing a good deed for his community yet these grubs try to arrest him for that, also the guy who owns the property is a massive hero.
The cop made the situation a whole lot worse by intentionally giving his fellow officers misleading information. “ he’s got a blunt object of some description “
"He has... **pauses as if trying to figure out what it is** some kind of a blunt object in his hand." Your cover is going to arrive and be highly annoyed you mislead him into thinking the situation is more severe than it is.
Officer knew he screwed up and instead of backing down tried to protect his dignity by creating a fictitious situation. Which backfired on him. The student kept walking away...how is that a threat.
@@EddieJrDigiarts The issue is whether his rights are impeded or not. The police officer had no probable cause in this entire situation. Can you name me one way the person in the video was breaking the law in any form or fashion?
The ID card was literally enough proof already to show that he "belonged" there. Honestly the moment he took the taser out on him was where the line was really drawn, especially if he wasnt threatening him at all. If you're afraid of a stick like that, then you shouldn't have a firearm or a taser on your belt.
He told him to show his id and then it will end there which was a total lie. In some states legally you do not have carry id or produce when asked. But you also want to mindful and read the room sort of speak because like it or not in a public forum the cop has the power. Comply and get home alive and then report the cop formally after the fact. It is not always the easiest to do because some cops try and bait to respond negatively so they validate their aggressiveness. The cop really wanted to tase the guy but the guy was not raising his voice or acting aggressively. So instead of defusing the situation the cop was trying to escalated matters.
@@quantumwitcher9376 Literally all the cops except the first cop. The first cop acted very poorly, the rest had nothing to do with it. The first cop is completely to blame, not the others.
i was going to write that as well... he believed the white guy without asking for ID...should every black man should do what michael jackson did,remove their black skin or what?
The other officer probably believed him because he thought the other cop was actually doing his job well. all he knows is to trust his colleagues. He probably didn’t know what was actually going down.

This officer soon resigned, but received a $69,000 severance despite violating department procedures. He was well compensated for traumatizing this man, and will likely go on to work in another department as the United States has no precautions against this.
@@rupeniugavule3479 I strongly disagree in a realm of wrongdoing only the wrongdoer should be punished. Involving this officer's family to bring them trauma so these officers understand will not make them understand, there's your mistake already you think they have the same mindset as a regular person, newsflash if they had the mindset of a regular person they would have a similar or identical moral compass. But the fact is they don't. So going this route does 3 things. 1. Makes us worse than the officer by bringing harm to a family that had nothing to do with the incident and therefore we are harming people who did nothing wrong except associate with the officer. 2. Justify the officer's actions he will then say “ See I was right to be scared look how they went straight for my loved ones.” Lastly 3. It will breed more hateful people, now this family that has been traumatized will associated people of colour with negativity leading one or the whole family to act on trauma or try to regain their pride or dignity or ego leading to the exact idiocy that happened in this video. Rinse repeat 1/2
I would advise my kid/student's, etc...to comply with the officer's requests and file a complaint afterwards....way too easy for things to go much worse than they did.
Dude so true, I usually say just give up and reason with the cops later. This man had no reason at all to give in to the cops orders, he was obviously never a threat, but the fact is cops sometimes get blind and could see his "stick" as a weapon, i was scared for him at moments, actually terrified.
A police officer CANNOT trespass someone. The property owner has to. This officer was out of line and wayyyy overreacted. As a former LEO, I can tell you if I rolled up as his backup, it would have ended right then. I would have told the student to go back to what he was doing and told the other officer that he was totally not in the right there.
@@taraflint5391 Unless a property OWNER complains, the police cannot arrest you for trespassing. They cannot "assume" you are trespassing on their own.
He actually spoke very well, mostly trying to keep things calm, but threatening him to see if it would have worked. He was dumb for thinking he could be trespassing in the first place though, and the student should have just given his room number, or the officer should have followed him to the building to prove he lives there.
@@MichaelRockfez he literally proved that he was a student with both his id and Dorm room key. The cop had no right to ask for anything. Stop defending the cop.
"A metal object" can describe anything from a fully automatic assault rifle to a hairpin. I love how these police officers use descriptions that are fatally ambiguous.
Yes, I understand that the officer was exaggerating, but the man should've cooperated to de-escalate the situation. Yes, the officer was taught to de-escalate the situation, but there are terrible cops out there, and it's better to obey than not comply and risk being shot. To be honest, I'd rather cooperate than be shot, tased, or arrested for wielding a litter pick-up stick. It is preferable to comply first, then go to court to seek justice. Both individuals handled the situation wrong, but the officer's actions were inexcusable. I'm glad the man stood up for himself, but the way he did it was begging for attention.
this is a completely idiotic take, do you realize that? something that only makes sense in america. zayd wasn’t wrong anywhere in this situation because no human owes another any kind of blind obedience. he was being harassed and he absolutely had the right not to take it. the only escalation came from the cop who KNEW he was wrong but just wouldn’t admit it. i’d understand if you’d said “i wish zayd would’ve been more cooperative to deescalate the situation” but to say he was wrong because he wasn’t is fcked up thinking. cops are here to ‘serve and protect’ us, are they not? they’re the ones we call when we want a situation deescalated or taken care of, right? that officer did the opposite of his duty here and he is the only one at fault. period.
I suppose the object in his hand "could" have been used as a weapon if he so desired. BUT, we all know what it's used for, and the student clearly demonstrated same. Based on the totality of circumstances, the only appropriate thing for the officer to say would have been along the lines of, "You're doing a good job, thanks. You have a nice day!!"
Can’t make it up. I could see if it was the trash picker with the poker at the end, maybe. But he had the clamper and the officer says he felt threatened after he was the one to approach him, and to top it has a taser and a firearm. Make it make sense Jesus.
MessiMessiah She was agreeing that the cop was being ridiculous because the cop has a gun compared to the guy that just has a trash clumpier. I don’t think you actually read what they said-why call Natalie a KKK member??

“Some kind of blunt object in his hand” was intentional and malicious to make the responding backup officers have a heightened sense of a threat so that when they showed up, they’d be more inclined to draw. This officer knew exactly what the “some kind of blunt object” was.
Exactly. He made it sound much worse purposely. Glad he is off the force. I think there are a lot of amazing police officers that truly want to make a difference but there are also ones like this guy that lets his ego get in the way. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity.

The officer was literally trying to make this guy sound as dangerous as possible.
When the officer claimed his trash stick was "some sort of blunt weapon" when he clearly knew what it was seems like an indication he was trying to make the suspect look more dangerous than he actually is.

“Some kind of a blunt object in his hand” was such deliberate wording, was willing to get the man killed.
the fact that it was literally a clamper with clamps on the other side yet he worded it that way as if he had a weapon was just insane
He could’ve just said “trash picker upper”
Yea, I agree, its sad
And the cop lied when the other officers get there… He tells them he never stated his address. Which he did.
Reminds me of that footage of soldiers in a helicopter who told their backup officer, a man had a rocket launcher. in reality it was a camera with a tele. That was how they got their license to kill.
Not everyone carries their ID on them when they're hanging out in front of their building. I sure don't.
... this cop is an example of a 'pig'.
He sure did squeal at that student alot
Please don't insult pigs. They're lovely creatures.
Not to mention if he's a student it's also entirely possible his drivers license says a different address than his college dorm - maybe even a different state. Had he turned that over to him it would only 'prove' to the cop that he was lying, which is probably why he handed him the student ID.

Not some officers, this is the result of systems of power, influence and control. This officer is doing exactly what he has been trained to do, which is to assume that he has carte blanc authority that is not allowed to be questioned, and that his assumptions are valid until proven otherwise. I bristle at your invocation of bad apples rhetoric

Common sense says no, that’s a stupid idea, the accused is not stupid, the police officer is clearly a boob. I mean if the accused is going to go to elaborate lengths to break into a student house, of all places, why then waste all that time and energy of pretending and then create noise by breaking the door? If he knows how to pick locks, then the accused wouldn’t pretend anything.

Yeah but I’d be trespassing
@@akiisho He's on a public side walk. There is no such thing as trespassing in public...
@@gutar5675 its the US, there is probably also trespassing in public.
@@gutar5675 it was sarcasm
@@magus3597 it's America, people wouldn't be surprised if it did happen lmao
The ID card was literally enough proof already to show that he "belonged" there. Honestly the moment he took the taser out on him was where the line was really drawn, especially if he wasnt threatening him at all. If you're afraid of a stick like that, then you shouldn't have a firearm or a taser on your belt.
He told him to show his id and then it will end there which was a total lie. In some states legally you do not have carry id or produce when asked. But you also want to mindful and read the room sort of speak because like it or not in a public forum the cop has the power. Comply and get home alive and then report the cop formally after the fact. It is not always the easiest to do because some cops try and bait to respond negatively so they validate their aggressiveness. The cop really wanted to tase the guy but the guy was not raising his voice or acting aggressively. So instead of defusing the situation the cop was trying to escalated matters.
A country where citizen can't pick up trash without 6 officers watching his every step, harrass and annoy him to underpin their ego
Not always, but when it is the case, it sucks. There are good and bad cops
@@isaacdynys6518 where are these so called "good" cops here?
And they complain about China being this way
@@quantumwitcher9376 Literally all the cops except the first cop. The first cop acted very poorly, the rest had nothing to do with it. The first cop is completely to blame, not the others.
@@TheCaitron What an ignorant comment. China is much worse. Of course this should not have happened. But your comment is just ignorant
Worst part is how quickly the officer believed this other dude on who he is
i was going to write that as well... he believed the white guy without asking for ID...should every black man should do what michael jackson did,remove their black skin or what?
The other officer probably believed him because he thought the other cop was actually doing his job well. all he knows is to trust his colleagues. He probably didn’t know what was actually going down.
Damage wasn’t that a different cop?
He didn't even asked the work card of that white man. That white man could lie too you know, Officer. But u just trust him like that. And u point a gun to a kid. 6 to 1.
@@poppylovegrove8765 ballooney.. i guess the three officers around george floyd thought that 4th officer was doing a great job with his knee on his neck.. disgusting
This officer soon resigned, but received a $69,000 severance despite violating department procedures. He was well compensated for traumatizing this man, and will likely go on to work in another department as the United States has no precautions against this.
@@mlaygo ummm jesus f**ing christ💀 THERAPY! GO NOW! 😂😂💀
@@SHADOWPRIME3000 nah hes right
@@rupeniugavule3479 I strongly disagree in a realm of wrongdoing only the wrongdoer should be punished. Involving this officer's family to bring them trauma so these officers understand will not make them understand, there's your mistake already you think they have the same mindset as a regular person, newsflash if they had the mindset of a regular person they would have a similar or identical moral compass. But the fact is they don't. So going this route does 3 things. 1. Makes us worse than the officer by bringing harm to a family that had nothing to do with the incident and therefore we are harming people who did nothing wrong except associate with the officer. 2. Justify the officer's actions he will then say “ See I was right to be scared look how they went straight for my loved ones.” Lastly 3. It will breed more hateful people, now this family that has been traumatized will associated people of colour with negativity leading one or the whole family to act on trauma or try to regain their pride or dignity or ego leading to the exact idiocy that happened in this video. Rinse repeat
1/2
@@SHADOWPRIME3000 I don’t agree. The need to be punished accordingly and this should be on his background check the next time he gets a job.
@@carlivasquez6840 so you agree with me then, I am saying that the officer should be held accountable and or punished, not his family.
So he didn’t need to verify the guy who verified that the guy stays there?
“Do you live here, do you work here? Looks like you’re working.” Shouldn’t that kinda be the end of the conversation?
it should have been the end and the officer would have kept his job.
Yep
He answered his own question XD
You have no obligation to show id to a cop if you're not committing a crime. He didn't have to prove he lived anywhere.

I'm so glad that student stood his ground.
The Tin Man I wasn’t, I was afraid for him.
The Tin Man Thank god he wasn’t killed.
I would advise my kid/student's, etc...to comply with the officer's requests and file a complaint afterwards....way too easy for things to go much worse than they did.
Just caused more trouble and more resources on the officers side
Dude so true, I usually say just give up and reason with the cops later. This man had no reason at all to give in to the cops orders, he was obviously never a threat, but the fact is cops sometimes get blind and could see his "stick" as a weapon, i was scared for him at moments, actually terrified.
“Has a gun”
I am scared of the trash picker.
This so-called officer needs to be fired for stupidity.
Funny enough is they did, thankfully
He resigned
Since when do people who trespass go around picking up trash?
People with a mission
Newtttton we usually called them homeless just saying.
@@jhova6542 don't homeless people just sit on the street
Cute Face of a patio apparently in this case lol.
@@jhova6542 oh ok
Like even if he was trespassing
The man is picking up trash
He’s literally doing something good
yup
A police officer CANNOT trespass someone. The property owner has to. This officer was out of line and wayyyy overreacted. As a former LEO, I can tell you if I rolled up as his backup, it would have ended right then. I would have told the student to go back to what he was doing and told the other officer that he was totally not in the right there.
It would still be trespassing and that's illegal
He wanna keep his college dorm clean! What's wrong with that?
@@taraflint5391 Unless a property OWNER complains, the police cannot arrest you for trespassing. They cannot "assume" you are trespassing on their own.
I think this police officer is against the world’s wellbeing.
Yep
He actually spoke very well, mostly trying to keep things calm, but threatening him to see if it would have worked. He was dumb for thinking he could be trespassing in the first place though, and the student should have just given his room number, or the officer should have followed him to the building to prove he lives there.
He did tell him to follow him to the dorm
Mr. POPO Why are you so mad? We're just having a conversation.
@@MichaelRockfez he literally proved that he was a student with both his id and Dorm room key. The cop had no right to ask for anything. Stop defending the cop.
That cop should be in jail!
"A metal object" can describe anything from a fully automatic assault rifle to a hairpin. I love how these police officers use descriptions that are fatally ambiguous.
be careful you might get shot at from a paperclip
“fatally ambiguous” well said!
Yes, I understand that the officer was exaggerating, but the man should've cooperated to de-escalate the situation. Yes, the officer was taught to de-escalate the situation, but there are terrible cops out there, and it's better to obey than not comply and risk being shot. To be honest, I'd rather cooperate than be shot, tased, or arrested for wielding a litter pick-up stick. It is preferable to comply first, then go to court to seek justice. Both individuals handled the situation wrong, but the officer's actions were inexcusable. I'm glad the man stood up for himself, but the way he did it was begging for attention.
this is a completely idiotic take, do you realize that? something that only makes sense in america. zayd wasn’t wrong anywhere in this situation because no human owes another any kind of blind obedience. he was being harassed and he absolutely had the right not to take it. the only escalation came from the cop who KNEW he was wrong but just wouldn’t admit it. i’d understand if you’d said “i wish zayd would’ve been more cooperative to deescalate the situation” but to say he was wrong because he wasn’t is fcked up thinking. cops are here to ‘serve and protect’ us, are they not? they’re the ones we call when we want a situation deescalated or taken care of, right? that officer did the opposite of his duty here and he is the only one at fault. period.
@@vanceausec8684 boot licker
“He has some kind of a blunt object.” That is straight dishonesty. You know exactly what he had.
I suppose the object in his hand "could" have been used as a weapon if he so desired. BUT, we all know what it's used for, and the student clearly demonstrated same. Based on the totality of circumstances, the only appropriate thing for the officer to say would have been along the lines of, "You're doing a good job, thanks. You have a nice day!!"
Cop should have been dismissed for that alone....
Cops lie-its part of their JOB DESCRIPTION!
My Grandma Wields That
Same "Deadly Blunt Object"

What a surprise! Someone not complying with the officer. I’m sorry for being white 🥺
“Some kind of blunt object in his hands” HE WAS LITERALLY PICKING UP TRASH WTF
Can’t make it up. I could see if it was the trash picker with the poker at the end, maybe. But he had the clamper and the officer says he felt threatened after he was the one to approach him, and to top it has a taser and a firearm. Make it make sense Jesus.
Natalia shut up you KKK member
MessiMessiah thank you for that impressive comment.
@@EkayLaive how did you get KKK out of her comment?

She was agreeing that the cop was being ridiculous because the cop has a gun compared to the guy that just has a trash clumpier.

This cop needs to be fired and barred from working at any other department
