I’ve seen this a few months ago elsewhere already.
@@MichaelMolli then there you go. It isn't a reupload. People saw it somewhere else.
I'm so glad the cops are protecting us from flower-watering pastors. The horror!
@@watchoutnow930 , Alabama's finest
Do you know how much this lunacy cost the Taxpayer?
I definitely feel much safer now 😂😂
@@The_Bit_Player , I imagine more than the city may be able to afford. Qualified immunity should be eliminated. When police act that unwise they should personally be held accountable for their actions.
So fucking suspicious. Literally watering flowers… smh
The fact that the officers first arrested him and only then brainstormed what to charge him with, shows that arrest was obviously illegal.
that happens hundreds of times a day, if not thousands of times a day, by every police dept. in America.
@@chipchaser44 I've had it happen to me with them trying to find a reason to give my kid to my baby momma even tho they had my custody papers from the judge, they didn't take the cuffs off til my lawyer showed up
The police think that if you don’t do what they say then you are guilty of a crime. He didn’t do what they said so he was arrested. They believe their authority is absolute and if you challenge that authority you go to jail. There is a charge for any behavior that they don’t like, all they have to do is figure out which one.
@@chipchaser44 more often than not my friend! A man in a yard with a water hose isn't a CRIME! Had they observed him for 15-20 they'd of probably seen him role the water hose up & go home! Every 911 call isn't a actual crime. LEO shows up and Escalates the situation.
Black men are not allowed to talk back to white cops.
What pisses me off even more than the arrest is that the caller is almost *certainly* an unemployed, bored voyeur Karen snooping around the neighborhood. I've had to deal with these types of weirdos calling the cops on me while I'm working for clients more than once.
ugh I can relate. I do pet care and I always feel awkward parking/walking into a client's house in those suburban "karen"-filled neighborhoods. Only a matter of time before I show up on my local fear-mongering site
@@carolinelewis6798 Funny you mention that. A guy owed me over $800 for a recent project and never paid. So instead of putting a lien on him, taking him to Court etc. I just chose to turn the page and ignore his requests for me to come work for him again.
So the idiot put me on our "Community Facebook", or so I've been told. Said I was unreliable and did poor work. The nerve of these morons!
Not to mention she's racist. She knows who he is. She said who he was and where he lives along with recognizing he likely had permission to be there. She's not a Karen she's a racist C.U. Next Tuesday.
@@mattfrank7796 Occam's Razor.
@@jamesbartz3803 was that the caller though? I think she was just a neighbor that they tried to talk to to verify his story. They said that they couldnt find the caller and/or that it was anonymous I think
His attitude is completely justified to me. This is his own neighborhood. He doesn’t match the description. No one should have to identify themselves ESPECIALLY in their own neighborhood. He’s clearly watering the flowers. Has nothing on him that could even begin to imply a break in.
hes "SuSpiCioUS" (black)
No, he clearly is a dangerous criminal, he tried to murder these plants by drowning them in water!!!
@@damienostler4531lets just call it what it is and why it happened to the Pastor and not the wyt neighbor for not identifying herself?
"We can't unarest him" lies. I've literally seen cops unarrest people in the past when things were clarified. They intentionally kept him arrested out of spite.
Yep, and I'm surprised the video didn't go over that. I've seen the very same thing multiple times.
The only unarrest them if it’s to their benefit. I used to bill insurances for a hospital. If someone got hurt and had to go to the hospital while under arrest for something small, they would unarrest them before they got to the hospital so they wouldn’t have to pay the medical bills.
It's because if they get a corrupt court to uphold that obstruction charge or get the Pastor to plead guilty, a federal wrongful arrest lawsuit becomes nearly impossible to win.
It's so casual in the manner these cops lie about what happened. These cops are accomplished liars for sure!
Yup. That's why they'll usually they're just detaining you while they investigate.
Pastor: “I told you I was here watering flowers.”
Officer: “How do we that’s the truth?”
Pastor, laughing: “Because I had the water hose in my hands and I was watering all the flowers!”
SHOO BOY *spits dip* heooow do we know dats duh truth *deliverance noises*
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And the "Pastor" who very well might have seen the officer pull up before the officer saw the Pastor, may have picked up the garden hose to appear like he was doing something legitimate (actually a common criminal tactic) while his accomplice was breaking into the rear of the house.
@@HUBABUBA-il8fn innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around bud
@@wiibuyer28 he might have been using liquid heroin on those flowers......😁
11:48 is actually vile. The fact that they knew they couldn’t charge him for anything so they all congregated together to tap their fingers together and make something up. Insane, actually insane
Well, apparently, "Once we arrest him, we can't just let him go." They had to figure out what charge would look least absurd.
OF COURSE THEY FUCKED UP...AND YOU KNOW WHATEVER THEY DO OR SAY KNOWING THEY ARE...DEAD... WRONG...
EVEN IN FRONT OF...EYE...CAUGHT ON

@@UnconventionalReasoning THEY DONT CARE ABOUT THAT
@@UnconventionalReasoningthey could let him go
@@user-tr1yp5tx8k I agree. I used the quotes because that is what one of the officers said, recorded on their bodycam.
A suspicious man??? Wow.
Dudes literally watering plants across the street from his own house.
He's quite literally doing the most innocent, and most wholesome thing someone can do for another, and he can't even do that.
Yea it’s like it’s not even about race anymore…well race still plays a part but it’s these officers inability to reason…
@@neefbucketts3919 its the cops ego, some cops think they are above the law and when citizens take a stand for there rights they try to twist the whole story
If he were in California, they would lock him up for wasting water.
You're wrong. He clearly committed the crime of Watering flowers while black.
You shoulda seen what they did to the 'water protector kids at nodapl.
He identified himself and where he lived, and what he was doing was obvious, all during the first 10 seconds. This is absolutely insane. I hope he sues the shit out of these cops.
You wouldn’t last a week as a cop 😂
@@joebyron4892 Saying someone wouldn't last a week as a cop is actually a huge compliment to them. You're basically saying they are a decent human being with common sense who isn't going to illegally detain people and then come up with a bogus charge after the fact.
@@joebyron4892 You're a troll. Lowest form of humanity.
@@joebyron4892 You wouldn't even pass the test to become one, I bet.
@@joebyron4892 ,
And, whomever called 911 should be ashamed of themselves
It's obscene that the officers got together to discuss how to charge the man and not how to apologize to him.
I hope he gets his apology in federal court. 💰 💴 💵
i've often found that when it comes to the "legal system" in general, making an apology is the very definition of having done something wrong. i know that sounds odd because they're clearly in the wrong but to admit a mistake would mean that there is an inherent flaw in the legal system itself. like when they lock the wrong person up for years n years and even after releasing them they never really say "hey, i'm sorry, we fucked up"
Yep. I knew the "don't do this to me, man" was phoney. Just another bully boy cop looking to pin anything he can on someone who won't instantly bow to him.
When I know I'm wrong, I apologize and hope the person I wronged shows me mercy. Those officers don't value the citizen as their equal
@@rogerm3708 well said. Takes a special person to OPENLY admit they r WRONG!
"I told you I was here watering the flowers."
"How do I know that's the truth?"
"BECAUSE I HAD THE WATER HOSE IN MY HAND!" 😂🤣
And the lady who called the cops, actually knew the guy, living just right there. Whoopsie.
@@Njazmo A fat, white Karen.
HE WAS DROWNING THE PLANTS AND THESE ARE COPS SCRAPING THE BARREL I WOULD SAY
Ohhhhh I hope some evil flower waterer don't come in my yard... What horror.....
💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️
This isn't the pastor we deserve, it's the pastor we needed. Not all heroes wear capes. They officers should have to attend his Church as punishment - like the community service and rehab programmes they send you to. They might actually learn something.
I will sleep better at night knowing this dangerous gardener is off the streets. Good work, Johnson!
I know, just thinking that my Azaleas 🌺 could be overwatered is keeping me up at night.
I like how they arrest him and then stand around figuring out what they arrested him for.
That's American police for ya.
Most powerful country in history and still run like a plantation for the privileged class that owns everything. I wonder if they would stalk people like this around Martha's Vineyard.
they even trying to talk quietly, so maybe it won't be heard in the camera
Yes.
Because a cop calling Karen was prowling
I’m pastor Jennings I live across the street and I’m here watering the flowers for my neighbors while they’re out of town. That should have been the end of it right there.
Cool, when I'm caught scoping out your house when you're on vacation we'll know what you thought was acceptable for PD not identifying me when called.
@@ScreaminMime
He identified himself with more than enough information that it was easy to verify with the neighbours,
as was done in the video, without the need for escalation.
Are you deaf or did you just not have the attention span to take note of anything in video?
because you went straight for the boot and you look like a fool.
@@ScreaminMime lmao .. so your gonna be watering my plants for me while "scoping out" my house? ok .. thanks man.
@@ScreaminMime
The next time your scoping out a house to rob, would you please wash the dishes before you leave.
@@ScreaminMime lmao You barely have the intellect to form a proper sentence and you think I’m going to believe you know how to break into a house??🤣🤣
Calling the police for looking out the window and seeing someone unknown in the neighborhood seems like the most american thing ever.
As American as Apple pie
But that's the weird thing. How could he be UNKNOWN in his own neighborhood?
@bunpeishiratori5849 a white person does not like him in their neighborhood.
“I told you I was watering flowers.”
“How do I know that’s the truth?”
“Because I had the water hose in my hand!”
😂😂😂😂😂
The old Waterhose In-Hand defense. This criminal is strategic.😂 The Pastor is a real El Chapo.
I love how the cops sit around and discuss what to charge him with after they realize he’s done nothing wrong. They act like just letting him go and apologizing isn’t even an option. These kinds of people shouldn’t be in positions of power.
Well what we don’t know is the departments regulations for „unarresting“, could be they can’t do that.
I mean they gave him the smallest charge when they realized it…
@@profdrvinz Nah. They can just let him go. They did not book him.
ProfDrVinz, department regulations do not take precedent over the law.
@@profdrvinz That's not the Pastors problem though ..its the Police's problem.
this is typical police behavior in America
'He seems like a reasonable nice guy I don't know why he's doing this'... Says the cop that is upset that this man isn't allowing them to violate his rights
They literally arrested him, then sat there in a group talking about “what should we book him for.” They were plotting what to book him for before even knowing.
I’m currently trying to become a police officer, this channel is super helpful. Shows me how I should and shouldn’t behave.
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. The job occupation you have chosen is a heard one so, I commend you for providing your service to the community. We need more good officers. Just a word if I may, treat citizens like you would like to be treated on the job. People will not like you just because you are wearing a badge but you have to develop thick skin. I wish you all the best.
Why would you even expect him to have ID on him when he’s across the street from his house watering his neighbors flowers?
"Once we arrest someone, we can't UN-arrest them"
What a clown. He just admitted he has to let his pride win over people's rights.
Total BS as well. They had technically "arrested" him by detaining him, but no formal arrest report or charges had been filed. There was no reason, other than cop egos, not to release Pastor Jennings.
"I'm sorry sir, but we've already arrested you on suspicion of murder. The fact we just caught another suspect, drenched in blood, and holding the severed head of the victim, doesn't mean we can just let you go!"
And I've seen cops de-arrest people plenty times! It's a thing, right!
how is that... its not that hard..
They should make a law that cops getting their feelings upset should be a crime. The cops even admitted they were wrong when and made charge anyway.
Exactly, making up BS.. all you had to do was take the cuffs off but pride took over
It’s so crazy and scary how police can twist one little phrase to manipulate the entire situation.
That's why you don't talk with them. Period.
It's not just police. Lots of people twist words
twist? someone called the police and show up to find someone who doesnt live at the address and wont i.d themselves, is it unreasonable that cops suspected he was up to no good considering a neihbor called the cops and dude said he didnt live there
@@Spookykidshow no matter how much you want the police to be right in this, they’re simply NOT, bud.
@@Spookykidshow i bet he's trying to do a lot of wrong with that waterhose!
Judge: What is the Crime?
Cops : He watering the Neighbor's Flowers.
These cops obviosly went out of their way to charge him with something once they were mad that he was questioning them. 3 grown men, conspiring to take another mans freedom away. It is truly sickening, and they need to be removed from their job.
Listening to these guys call him a suspicious person for watering flowers in broad daylight is one of the most frustrating things I think I’ve ever seen
It's called watering flowers while black.
@@juliosanchez8263could they have made it any more obvious
"You're being suspicious" - he's watering flowers, with a hose, there's water coming out of it, you can see water on the flowers.
How does a cop not see what's in front of them?
I see a guy.
I see him watering flowers.
He's older.
He says the car belongs to the neighbour - I can run the car number, check if that's true. If this is true then he's telling me the truth and he knows something about the car and property and owner to know the car belongs there.
It's also 2 negatives against the witness phone call - strange car, now not a strange car. Older man, not younger.
"Let me tell my wife" - Why wouldn't a cop want him to tell his wife because then that would back up who he is? The cop could even speak to the wife to ask what's his name, where does he live, is he a pastor, what church, check if suspect says the same church. Opportunity for info.
well someone called saying he was a suspicious person who didnt live there. That is why they showed up..
The most sick behavior is the way the officers arrest a man then get together to decide what to arrest him for. This is a police state society
it was deeply disturbing..rather than a charge a genuine apology was needed
@@paulrichards6894 sick is that some random dude can do what he likes on you premises when U re gone , and U will never know about it cuz " This is normal that some guy will say , I am just here to water the flowers " ... just imagine that U got kids at that premises ....
Oh wow this is a dumb comment
@@PirateOnUA-cam I would hope most responsible people would not go away and leave kids unsupervised. If they do then they need the book thrown at them. Also the neighbour vouched for him, which they chose to ignore.
@@PirateOnUA-cam You don't happen to fly the confederate flag outside your house do you? Are you a supporter of all lives matter?
"I got one who's not listening to us" 🙄
Cops family must be so proud that he got this elite level arrest. Being a good neighbor and watering flowers is a serious offense. Very professional to scream at him as well.
"we're not investigating a crime, we're investigating a call..."
But they charged him with a crime
LIKE...WHAT?!
"I'm arresting you for this call"...Doh!
Yes, police investigate calls. "There's a person I've never seen before outside my neighbor's house in his yard and up close to the windows. My neighbor is out of town. Please check it out." Upon investigation they will determine if a crime has been committed.
In this case, it's obvious their thinking meats are impaired, because there isn't any law against watering flowers.
Watering flowers is a MASSIVE red flag for criminal intent. So glad we have ‘6th sense’ supercops like these guys.
yeah... deffo saved several dozen of flowers from mass watering spree
Who's ringing the cops on these people??..wow...
L bait comment
What “6th sense”? The home owners let a neighbor know thy were out of town and the neighbor called about someone trespassing.
Exactly, cop see him watering flower, he tell the cops who he is and where he lives… investigation over. These cop are idiots and are trained to get id…
They can never just admit they were wrong and apologize instead they go even further in the wrong and try and find a unjust reason to arrest people!
Things are upside down in the USA. Being nice is highly suspicious. Being vindictive and racist is applauded.
Imagine getting arrested for kindly watering someone’s flowers. This is awful .
I can't imagine it because Im a white woman and it would never happen to me. The cops are racist.
As I’m a white dude…I literally cannot imagine that. I doubt it has ever happened to a white dude…nor will it.
Shameful ignorant buffoon cops in this vid, for sure.
He was clearly committing watering of the first degree with intent to cause grand bodily harm to the daffodils. His 2nd charge was 2nd degree menacing the cops with the spray hose, because we all know cops hit with water melt like the wicked witch of the west... :D
Disgustingly, the real reason for the arrest is closer to: watering a neighbor's flowers *while Black.*
I wonder what went through the mind of the 9-1-1 caller when they first called, and then as they watched this insanity unfold. Did the caller realize they had made a terrible mistake that could cost this person his life? Or did they see the arrest, and feel justified for their call? Whatever they thought on that day, I hope they learned that their action had awful consequences for a man who was just doing something kind for a neighbor.
It had nothing to do with watering flowers but everything to do with the color of his skin
They said he didn't identify himself. He told them who he was, where he lived and what he was doing. This is why people have issues with the police. Even after the lady told him he wasn't doing anything they still arrested him.
a last name and occupation are not identifying yourself, and have absolutely no way to be verified. Criminal lie to cops about 99% of the time, ofc they are not just going to believe someone at face value when they are trying to defend themselves. The reason why we have problems with police stems far more from the fact they still wanted to find a reason to keep him detained after the complainant confirmed his story.
They had to stroke their ego somehow
Yup
Yup
i mean yeah he did identify himself, but the police cannot rely on simple words of mouth, they need federal approved intel. Anyone could say my name is.. i live just right across the street.. etc. i mean he just had to gave them an approved ID and the police would've been already gone in 2 minutes
Thank you officers for cleaning the streets from Pastors who like to water flowers.
I love that the female neighbor refused to give her info because they arrested him. Good for her.
as someone that HAS unarrested a person after realizing I messed up, the excuse of "we can not unarrest him" is the biggest lie on the planet.
That was the most ridiculous part of this imo (which is saying a lot, considering how out of line these chuckleheads were throughout this interaction.) It’s called officer discretion, and it’s nothing new. The fact that they pretended like it wasn’t a thing in that moment shows just how wrong they knew they were. Earning that hate more and more every day.
A simple “sir I’m so sorry my understanding of the situation was wrong. Have a great day.” goes a long way. They could’ve eaten crow and walked off like men. Quite literally acting like a group of hormonal women
Good on you. Not all cops are bad. Sounds like you were one of the few good ones.
Not many people are big enough to admit they made a mistake. Kudos. I can't stand 1A Frauditors and the crap they put you guys through, and there are times when I disagree with this channel's rulings, but this case had no grey areas. The cops were wrong and refused to admit it. If they needed a satisfying outcome, why not find 'Amber' and charge her for making a frivolous 911 call?
@@Jenifer_R_ your fundamental misunderstanding of how it all works is pretty evident to me. “What they put you officers through” or however you worded it, is laughable. All these cops have to do is leave them alone and there would be no interaction, and be no auditors. And calling them frauditors just displays your ignorance even further, much the same as calling someone a libtard or trumptard reflects directly back on the sheer stupidity of the person saying it. Be a better person, it’s totally free, and easy to do.
Imagine living in a country where water flowers is suspicious.
Damn I guess I better stop too.
If you’re black, it’s normal to be suspicious
Just like those people in the store stocking up the shelves at 1 am
Living while black in a red state is basically suspicious to cops.
Don't worry, they are trying to make it illegal to water your own lawn or even grow your own food.
I have heard it all now!🤦
What you doing?
Watering flowers!
You’re under arrest!
Thank you for covering the story on my father. We greatly appreciate it. 😌
I sent the video to them 6 months ago to review it, like i have done others, i am sorry this happened to your pops. Happy Easter to you and your family, and God bless you.
Really sorry this happened to your dad. Good neighbors like him are hard to find.
If I never saw it I wouldn't believe it.
Your dad should OWN these badge heavy thugs and the whole PD in that town!
Unreal dude
“We’re just trying to talk to you” then proceeds to arrest him.
It’s technically detainment but still disgusting none the less.
Edit: I commented before the video(sorry) Yeah those cops need to hang up their badges and hand their guns.
"We've been trying to reach you regarding your car's extended warranty..." lol. Just trying to add some levity to a messed up situation.
An on-duty cop isn’t “just” doing anything.
@@Awkwardndeaf Yeah, at one point they say "We arrested him, so we can't un-arrest him without charging him with something." Great logic.
@@austinconn7178 Lol... for sure. Cops often arrive with the 'we gotta DO something' mindset when in many situations all that needs done is to quickly figure out what is not happening. They don't have to like it. Citizens don't have to like it. Just observe and respond don't fish for that 'gotcha' moment.
He was watering the damn plants when the cop walked up 😂
How stupid can your cops be 😂
Cop: There’s a suspicious person.
The Suspicious person: “watering the plants”
It's sickening to watch them try to come up with a charge after realizing they arrested someone doing nothing wrong. The giant ego that requires is terrifying when that ego has a gun and the ability to remove your freedom.
Arrested for helping
"Once we arrest someone, we can't unarrest them. You understand?"
@@ghostunspeakable7866 lol. That's lie itself. They can do so just do not want to admit where they were wrong and think an arrest will cover their asses for handcuffing him.
No good deed goes unpunished
Because it would look bad for us...
This is another prime example of why it should be the law that body cameras MUST be worn by EVERY law enforcement officer in the country with no ability to turn them off.
Absolutely! The fact they can just turn them on or off at will defeats the purpose; they still have control off the narrative.
You wanna gab with your parter in the car without cams? That's fine. But once you begin a response to a call, you need to record the events as they happen. People paid minimum wage are held to this standard every time they interact with a customer.
And, Any public citizen should be able to log into the live feeds at Any Time. That may change some behavior...
@@markmower6507 That would be a violation of personal privacy and won't happen. But avoiding that, anyone can already tune in to their local police radio live. Look up yours!
It’s shocking there is any sort of button on them at all. They should just be on from the moment an officer is on-duty.
Seems like something was edited out
Really keeping the criminals off the streets
"I was watering flowers"
"How do I know that's true"
"I had a hose in my hand, watering flowers"
Did that cop just said “We’re not investigating a crime but we are investigating a call?”... The incompetent of these officers are beyond my mind.
Wow I can barely get the cops to come to the apartment complex I'm in for someone disturbing the peace at 2AM, but this Pastor gets popped just for watering the neighbor's plants? If he had been light skinned, it probably wouldn't have happened...
They need to force all cops to have a master degree so they can root out idiots like this who get a badge because they pass a easy service exam a 3rd grader can pass
That one statement is mind blowing 🤯
@@iamherefortheshow699 Exactly. Too often cops respond 'to the call' as if what they find at the scene is somehow less important. In this case they had the option to try and contact the property owner and also to the person calling it in which once they got her on scene she explained that dude was someone she knew to be allowed on the property. This one is going to cost the PD some $$$ for sure
@@ZanyJIntPictures Pretty blonde girl watering those flowers would've been completely ignored.
In the officers defense, those flowers were in danger of being overwatered
These cops are out of their minds
“I’m just watering flowers”
“How do I know that’s the truth?”
“Bc I had the hose in my hand, and I was watering flowers” 😂
You can’t make this up! 10:52
Imagine if he would have planted tomatoes a Pepper plant probably life in jail 😆
I reckon we need to start issuing IQ tests as part of police recruitment because clearly they seem to be lacking in this vital area!
@@sdwone They do intelligence tests, and are known to NOT hire those who score too high. Compliance and the ability to turn your brain off is a desired trait, sadly.
I face palmed when the cop said that. Like seriously?! When you walked up to him he was literally watering flowers 😂
I always attach a hose to the water supply of a house every time I do a burglary. Never caught me yet!
I hate this whole having to sue them thing, if they have no law to make an arrest it should be treated as kidnapping.
And the worse thing is that the taxpayers get the bill, the cops just go on a month vacation with pay and then comeback to the station and get promoted with a nice fat pay increase.
Police conducting an unlawful arrest is not close to kidnapping. The police simply made a bad judgement call about if they had reasonable suspicion. Kidnapping on the other hand is not a mistake, its unjustified in any and every respect and is done for malicious reasons. A police officer is not the same as some random person on the street. They were in the wrong here but let's not get carried away.
@@FatherManus contempt of cop is intentional and malicious….
@@MicMadness I don't believe the cops here thought what they were doing was illegal. They even had a conversation about not overcharging him. So like I said, the police were in the wrong but this is not the equivalent to a random person committing the crime of kidnapping.
@@FatherManus I disagree, it is the job of the police to enforce the law, not to enforce what they think and hope its correct. An ER nurse can remember the 1000 ways to not kill you by accident then surely the police can learn what their identification laws are and how they are to be properly applied. “Ignorance of the law is no excuse in any country. If it were, the laws would lose their effect, because it can always be pretended.” - TJ
lmao I like this pastor. "no, no.. I like this." LOL. he's on another level.
sometimes it feels like having the IQ of a potato and the self-restrain of a chihuahua is a requirement to join the force.
It’s insane that just letting him go and apologizing didn’t even occur to them 🤦🏻♂️
No, he refused their orders and bruised their egos. These are bullys with badges. No business being a cop, this is retaliatory 100%.

Get the phuck away from him. Get back in your cars and drive away. And let the man finish watering his neighbor's goddamn flowers. Man, it's hard to believe what stupid fools some of these cops are.
The way they gaslight and stand around each other trying to rationalize this massive screw up so they can keep their qualified immunity is gross. Lock them up!
Conspiring is grounds to lose QI, which likely to happen in this suit and will be lovely to see these cops whine about not being able to provide for their families or retirement...heinous mistakes made as an officer should absolutely carryover into your personal life
Exactly. People in comments calling out 'incompetence' or 'poor training' or 'lack of intelligence' are missing OP's key point here: Cops must double-down on their unlawful actions and they say they "can't un-arrest" because they must maintain this fiction that they believed their actions were lawful. They are very competent, indeed, in following their dept training to get that ID at all costs, and then never backing down or doing anything that might be construed as admitting fault. It's a calculated cynical play to protect themselves and their dept, citizen's rights be damned.
If police depts really wanted cops to understand and respect people's rights, they would train them accordingly and we wouldn't see all these abuses. Depts train cops to jump through whatever hoops necessary to side-step (or even trample) rights and laws protecting individuals to further their mission to 'fight crime,' even where it doesn't inherently exist.
Lock Them Up and put them in General Population, No Special Treatment...
Retard circle jerk
Wildest part about this is that even the lady that called won't talk to them anymore because she doesn't trust them.
And even by the sounds of it, she mistakenly identified the pastor as a suspicious man, and even she said that she knew who it was after getting a better look. Like, how is, "they are friends and he is the pastor" not a clear enough indicator to bugger off?
Stepping out your front door each day is now considered suspicious activity.
And yet again, zero consequences for a nosey neighbor weaponizing the police against an innocent citizen....gotta love it
To be fair, I say it is 100% the cops. It is good when we look out for our neighbors' property. But then she said she knew him.
She did nothing wrong. Nothing. The cops were the only ones in the wrong here.
@@brianloveless2717 she called in the description of someone who was not there and claimed she didn't recognize the vehicle that belonged to said neighbor. if you're going to call and make claims at least do it with accurate information...
@@brianloveless2717 Hardly. It’s a frivolous call that put a man’s life at risk. A caller must be sure of what they’re seeing before they summon a police response.
To be fair, they were looking out for their neighbor while they were away. They didn't weaponize the police. Noticing a strange vehicle at someone's house while they are away is more than enough to call police to check it out. But it isn't enough to arrest someone when the person gives a reasonable explanation for why they are there and its not apparent that a crime is being committed. I would want someone to look out for my property like this if I was away.
This is actually terrifying watching them stand around after the fact and make up a story
"We got to find something to charge him with".
"Disorderly conduct" and "Disturbing the Peace" and "Disrupting government operations" Those plants are so happy!
They’re sitting there trying to convince themselves he actually did something wrong. It’s crazy.
For real, that was scary. Arrest the guy 1st, then think about what they could charge him with, wtf 🙄
So, at least in my state LEOs have ZERO obligation to be truthful to you about anything. There is literally zero reason to ever trust their words/actions because as an authoritarian (ensuring power = authority = power), no casual 'trust' can be given assuming they won't do something illegal (because they're the authority and see themselves as The Law fundamentally)...
...Its more likely a felony level crime will be committed upon you by your gov then by a criminal. I say this, because right now, right this second...it is happening.
The Kicker: It is generally lawful to disobey an obvious illegal demand of a LEO, them trying to enforce a nonexistent law, or do something against it...Since not a single word from their mouth can be trusted, then its almost required to disobey/not comply with them, because they haven't and cannot establish (and convey to you) the thing they're doing is lawful...and you have no burden to 'assume' it is.
You're grading and interpretation is spot on.
Dispatcher: 911, what is your emergency?
Caller: There's a scary old man watering flowers! Please get here quick!
Dispatcher: Don't worry ma'am, we're sending our dumbest cops to handle the situation!
No more like "OH MY GID SEND THE SWAT OR THE ARMY! THERES A BLACK MAN!"
@@CodeeXD BLACK MAN SPOTTED! WE'RE GONNA NEED REINFORCEMENTS!
😆
*Scary young black male
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Could have just said cops lol the "dumbest" part was a little redundant. lol They're not exactly Mensa candidates.
What a scary man,Watering flowers,THE POLICE should be Ashamed of themselves!
These officers now have a one way ticket to hell. Congratulations! 👏
Thank goodness they caught him. Imagine living in fear, never knowing when your flowers are going to be watered.
Ur sarcasm makes me happy
For some reason i read that in Bill Burr's voice lol
Lmaooo
Nothing more suspicious than a black pastor watering flowers
😆😆😆
“This could have been all avoided”… if he just let us violate his rights.
Oh yes, all crooks water the flowers of those they plan to rob... 😅😂😂😂😅😊
the pastor is very funny.
"I told you I was watering the flowers"
"How do I know it's the truth?"
"I had a watering hose in my hand"
So even after finding out he wasn't doing anything wrong, then they search for charges to place on a completely innocent man. Then they wonder why theres such dislike for Leo's
Ok the leo part got me off guard but cops wonder why people hate the police and don’t appreciate them. They always get away with murder and false arrest after being caught live and the judges try to tell us: your eyes are lying at what you saw on UA-cam, tv, TikTok, etc.
That’s because all cops are evil.
Brandon Tatum would still defend the cops here
Yes, the over criminalization of Americans... Gotta love it.
_"We can't un-arrest him"_ err.. actually yeah .. you *can.* It's simply a matter of taking the cuffs off and saying:
"Sir we've completed our investigation, and after speaking with your neighbors, who have corroborated your story, we've decided to not press any charges at this time. Sorry for the inconvenience. Have a good rest of your day".
The end.
Nah, as you saw it's an ego trippin' thing, they have a little group discussion trying to figure out what to arrest him for and continue with this BS. What in the actual fuck is wrong with police in the US?
They'd still have to generate a report stating what happened on the call. The brass would have they ass for not charging him with something cuz he would've requested that report, the 911 call, and filed a lawsuit for violation of his rights.
@@pallviggosson2144 Well, I would suspect low funding, lack of proper education and low requirements on recruits.
To do that they would need to ADMIT they made a mistake or over reacted. That's never going to happen. Too much pride or testosterone in that group. Wish in 1 hand, crap in the other and see which one gets full 1st.
But these officers were not that smart!
The Pastor is a legend... sending respect.... Scotland
Since when was watering flowers a suspicious activity?
It's much Deeper we all know why
"Oh, you're watering flowers?
Have a good day, and thanks for being such a good neighbor."
That’s how it should of went! Cops were disgusting, as well as neighbor who called
Nah, he black. He's suspicious because they got a 9-1-1 call. So they 'have" to "ID" them, regardless of the law, the Constitution or any policies they have. Have to run his ID in case he has warrants, you know, typical bullshit cop thug mentality.
That was prior to 9/11 Patriot Act and training in Israel.
Ever since 9/11 police were trained in Israel to break down our society. It’s about weakening goyim.
That should have been the correct response
This was clearly a crime of officer's shattered ego
This is where I wish we had judge Judy, but she doesn’t do this type of crime.
room temp IQ country boys cant handle it when the person they are dealing with has read more than one book in their life.
@@KarmaTube5 and honestly she would likely side with the police. Judge Judy has done several civil litigations between police officers and civilians. She almost always sided with the police officer even when they were doing constitutionally protected activities.
@@KarmaTube5 Judge Judy needs to stick with the law, and keep her snot in her nose.
That suspicious ish always gets you it’s there go to phrase for the cops.
"Once we've put him under arrest, we can't un-arrest him"
Translation: Once its become clear we've f'd up, we have to follow through to save face.
Yep! 😅😮💨
I hate how some random person can call the police on someone and the cops can just show up and arrest them even if they haven't seen them do anything.
HR: "This guy is a moron, but I think I should hire him. What could go wrong?"
MALICIOUS REPORTING. AND NOTHING HAPPENS TO THE PERPETRATOR/HARRASER AKA THE CALLER.
It’s called harassment
Imagine the cops breaking into someone's house and shooting the owner and maybe other family members because SOMEONE called about suspicious person in a house. Happens all the time in the good old USA.
@@Phukugoooglification or worse yet: the child of the owner for walking in front of the gun of an officer.
I mean: How could the cop have known that a person could appear in in a hallway after her screamed everyone to come out?
Thanks for the help!! Apparently we need these guys???
Unbelievable.
The cops even said the neighbor who called the cops, also refused to ID. Why weren't they also screaming at and arresting her for "interference"?
Ciz she's white
1a. White, 1b female
"we're not into profiling, we don't do that" LMAO
She’s a white woman
Somehow these police officers determined that someone watering flowers is suspicious enough to detain & gather ID from an individual. This whole encounter is completly ridiculous & shows how incompetent some police officers can be.
It wasn't the watering of the flowers that was the officers "reasonable suspicion", it was that he was black. He of course found this perfectly reasonable, as the racist tend to do.
@@54tisfaction Oh shut up you lunatic!😂😂
Sometimes they'll use any excuse to go fishing. Some of them, their whole goal or agenda IS to make arrests. Otherwise, they don't feel like they're doing their job. 🤷🏿♂️
Truth is... he damaged their ego. How dare he not do what they say when they say it!!
@@nathanielanderson8623 And, sometimes their actual job is to make arrests, because of their department earning money that way or measuring their results by the number of arrests. Very twisted system.
"Watering Flowers? How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?"
I hate these neighbour's that just call the cops for no reason. It drives my blood pressure sky high
Calling the cops isn’t a problem, they just looking out for their neighbour bc they heard that no one was meant to be home, the real problem is how stupid the cops are, I’m 16 from Australia and I understand more about your basic amendments than these brainless cops
@@rapleaker1117 dude, he was watering plants. What did they call the cops for, over water the hydrangeas? It was clear there was no reason to involve police
Over watering*
We don’t call cops. Every cop you call in my area takes it as an opportunity to question you
Mine too!
“Well, what charges can we make stick on this guy because he won’t comply without questioning our legal authority? This upsets us.”
🎯
None as it as it made up BS anyway. They had an innocent black man watering flowers. Guess the racism still flows strong down there
These officers should spend 40 years in jail.
I despise these officers much more than I can express.
I read the title of this his video and just busted out laughing 😂😂😂, genius.
Cops scared of a water hose. Smh. That neighbor should be ashamed for calling cops over that.
SOME KAREN called the cops. Oh no,....he's WATERING the plants. How criminal...🙄
And SOMEHOW her "totally not racist" brain made her perceive an elderly black man watering flowers into a young black man engaging in suspicious activity.
This Schitt runs DEEP.
Why should they be ashamed? I get that it might've been racial profiling but we don't know if it was. If he was actually breaking into the neighbor's house would we be saying the same thing? Maybe he took a while to bring out the hose and it looked to them as if he was casing the place, we don't have the all the facts so we don't know for sure how it went down. Personally I wouldn't have called the cops but there's always two sides to every story
@@d3b3z05 hope you are just trolling lmao
@@baconknightt as far as the video shows she never saw the guy watering plants. Just a strange car and at a glance a man she did not recognize. When she found out her mistake she told the cops but they did not care.
"We got one that's not listening to us" This sums up all the problems with police interaction.
These flower watering vigilantes need to be stopped IMMEDIATELY! Thank God the police showed up and handled the situation in a calm and logical manner.
Imagine calling the police on someone watering flowers instead of talking to them yourself
The female neighbor that was on the scene called the police on him.
He should call the police on the person calling the police. And report harassment
Right. It amazes me how lazy people are. I used to listen to the scanner in my city. One summer day I heard 3 "possible bodies or persons hurt" on the side of the road... not one person stopped to check on these supposed hurt people because if they had they never would have called. 2 were dead deer hit by cars and one was some dude tanning on his front lawn. I also had the cops called on me as a " person hurt" when I was laying in the sun on a blanket napping when I was 17 waiting for my friend to show up at our other friends house. Cops must have come like 20min AFTER I had got up anyway. So if I were in trouble I would have just been dead
It's not like everyone there is probably armed
The person who called is know as Gladis Gravites AKA Karen.
The most frightening thing about the police is that some random person on the phone is given more credence than what common sense is telling them in person, on the scene. The man said he lives at a specific house and is a neighbor. Ok, run the address he gave you. His license photo will pop up in the system. There you go, case closed. It's not that hard.
That's what gets me too. With the initial information the first officer received, he had everything he needed to verify what was going on. Everything. He didn't need ID, and he didn't need to keep pestering that man all the way to an unwarranted arrest. He has a little computer in his car where he can look up who is who and where they live, and then just common-sense his way to the answer from there. I know these guys aren't Sherlock Holmes, but can we at least expect them not to be Inspector Clouseau?
@@mikekohary1075 It isn't fair to compare Clouseau to them, he is more competent than them.
Your mistake is you think they are actually trying to get to the bottom of things and protect the community
seems like they have a fetish of seeing people in hand cuffs
All simple things are hard for idiots.
The chief out there wilding..
It's a good thing he didn't resist, otherwise he would have been viciously beaten and possibly murdered.
For me, the concerning thing here is the cops’ inability to back down as it becomes increasingly clear they have no standing. It truly appears that they believe that the only possible reaction to having their authority questioned is to double down and escalate.
Exactly, the investigation doesn't even continue once their authority is challenged by refusing to ID. The compliance becomes their laser focus. How about forget about the ID and just ask the neighbors to confirm what he said about being a pastor and a neighbor? Nope, now it's about ego. That they could have 'solved the mystery' within minutes by asking neighbors but chose instead put him in cuffs just shows how their true goal became compliance, not actually responding to the 911 call they keep using to justify their behavior in the first place.
THATS BECAUSE THEY ARE TAUGHT TO NOT BACK DOWN EVEN WHEN YOU ARE WRONG I KNOW I WAS A COP ALSO BUT I LOVE MY COMMON SENSE SO IF IT SMELLS LIKE A SKUNK
HOW MANY CRIMINALS YOU KNOW WATER YOUR FLOWERS WITHOUT PERMISSION 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😒😒😒😒😒😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫
Yeah, I think the detention could have happened either way, even if it’s wrong, mistakes can happen, but a good cop just has to admit, uncuff him, apologize and go on with their day.
yeah it's called EGOMANIAC and unfortunately too many LEOs are
And we wonder why jails are filled with black people…..sick
