Ok, honest question, how can a federal agent legitimately violate your rights and then you are unable to hold them accountable? Is there more info that you can direct me towards? Thanks.
Thank you for showing the good work being done by this amazing group. AND for giving the link to donate.
I wish there were more comments and likes to this post.
How come no talks about InfraGard?
These are the scumbags that perpetrate the destruction of the constitution.
When you asked what can we do about this, in my head I was like green tipped ammo?
Thank You.
One of the worst stories about civil rights abuse I've heard.
Except for someone actually being killed.
This has to stop.
Implications are far reaching and causes increased distrust of law enforcement.
Undermines public faith in the worst possible way.
How would the feds feel if this happened to one of their college age sons or daughters?
Common now!
End qualified immunity now! Mandatory minimums for all corrupt officials!
or stop electing democrat judges that give these cop's a pass.
privatize all police... solved. no conflict of interest. no qualified immunity required.
@kevin cornell You do know that democrats and republicans are the same snake on the same two-sided coin. In fact republicans are law and order first
@@kevincornell1439 Sorry but republicans love cops even more.
How about we focus on passing a law removing immunity and add a 3rd party review board.
@@kevincornell1439 I don't understand your comment. I thought it was conservative judges that tended to side with police?
Every Police officer that forced bystanders to delete their video footage of the incident should be charged with obstruction!
I would disobey
And they should be charged with tampering with evidence and destruction of evidence.
And who'll charge them, you? Lol
I believe it should carry a more severe punishment, Imagine if a civilian who just committed a crime rounded up all nearby witnesses and forced them (flashing a gun) to delete the footage they took of him committing the crime. Now an officer doing that should carry a more severe punishment because he did it while on duty, he's getting paid for that time and he's using government issued service weapon, vehicle and resources. While being paid to uphold the law he instead violate the law!
@@arribaficationwineho32 Right? Who in the F___ lets cops delete anything from their phone EVER?
The officer that forced everyone to delete the recordings should be charged with destruction of evidence.
Once someone realized that they were being made to delete, they should have immediately forwarded it to any friend, etc.
@@jaykb6587 exactly, "Sure officer, deleting" and send it broadcast to your largest group.
These "officers" need to be sent to prison.
They are dam abusers
Yes. Where TF are the American people??? March against QUALIFIED IMMUNITY.
Law enforcement has had qualified immunity for about 56 years , and in those 56 years they have proven they don't deserve it .
I wonder why it was created in the first place??
They don't deserve squat, except some hot lead.
Qualified immunity is a widely misinterpreted legal theory. Qualified immunity protects cops from frivolous litigation.
Sadly, the reason that cops have literally gotten away with murder so much is because government itself is inherently criminal.
Policing needs a complete overhaul. Cops protect their oligarch owners -- not the people.
@@AngelaMerici12 It was created in 1967 to 'protect government officials from frivolous lawsuits' and like most laws, was written so broadly in the govt's favor that it's been abused from day 1
Qualified immunity is derived from sovereign immunity, which dates back to the English kings. I the original idea of sovereign immunity is that the king could do no wrong that definition has been refined over the years in the United States to allow people to sue the government in some instances, but not others for example, if you are a civilian employee of the military you can sue the government, but if you are, an enlisted person or commissioned officer you may not. Qualified immunity is supposed to protect an officer from being sued in the case of a legitimate mistake of fact, or law, not obvious criminal abuse, as we saw in this case.
The idea that the federal govt can’t be sued for rights violation is absurd.
Yea this is news to me and I'm confused how it's a thing. I'm only halfway through the video though.
Those rights are there to protect you against this exact thing.
Police departments want to hire psychopathic/ sociopathic people. It’s not an accident it’s by design
You are correct
"Parents spent their life savings in his criminal defense", holy crap! Imagine your life being ruined by these people. These ridiculous immunities need to be removed!
"The process is the punishment."
Forget the immunities… this was before that had anything to do with it.
They ruined his life before he was even allowed to TRY to sue them.
Say there were 0, Zero, protections for the officers, not even qualified immunity at the local level. In that instance, they would have Still spent their life savings on the ‘criminal’ defense…. Then he sues them and wins instantly etc etc, but FIRST you have to have a life savings to spend on the criminal defense so that you aren’t in jail..
We need to rise up as a nation or else this is only going to continue to get worse. We the people working with each other is the only thing that can make things better...
It was granted to them by the Fed.
That's why this was such a nightmare, it comes from way higher than the local police
They're not immune to the 2a
Qualified Immunity NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED so law enforcement can be held more accountable just for this exact reason! Being a constitutional attorney it drives me crazy at times
You're a Constitutional Attorney and you're expecting this cop-owned Republican majority Supreme Court to rule favorably on this once it gets in front of them? Like freakin' CLARENCE THOMAS is gonna rule in this guy's favor? I positively do not think so.
Violent Cop Registry NOW.. POST THEIR HOME ADDRESSES
@@BillySBC All 9 members of the Supreme Court are nothing but political hacks, ideologues appointed for their politics and not for their knowledge and understanding of the law. Worst Supreme Court in our history, absolutely bogus and unqualified, every single one of them.
If elected President of the United States, I by Executive Order will Alter and Abolish Qualified Immunity! 😁👍👍🇺🇲
Only way this stops is people start concealed carrying like a responsible adult should and cops like this get what they asked for
Unreal story. Sad that it is true. I hope he recovers and goes back to school. “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.” - Thomas Jefferson
Oh, the irony of that statement coming from a tyrannical slavemaster who raped his wife's enslaved half sister, and then enslaved their children for the rest of his life. He was only for uprising when it was white men!
He'll probably never go back to college. That was taken from him.
This is my Facebook banner
Why? He is doing fine without a certificate.
@@DemiGod..how so?
And then they ask why we are scared of the government when we want to have guns.
If the police can't be held accountable by law then they need to be held accountable by force.
That's exactly what they want so they can "legally" pull martial law.
I would normally say that is the wrong way, but... plain cloth officers pressing charges for resisting police officers against a person they victimized...
What are people supposed to do? Calling the cops does not help, that leads to arrest and charges being pressed. Opening a case? Burns money and decades of lifetime and results in... nothing I can call a victory for anyone involed.
Ask the law makers? That is a good one, if those two muggers are immune to the constitution and literally use it as a weapon against a defenseless person, then nothing helps.
Be careful what you say on line ! These are dangerous times !
@@JoMcD21 Martial Law is already coming… For it is already written in the Book of the Prophets
Even then, i doubt they'll learn. We're talking about super aggressive and violent people who think they're above ordinary citizens, who think they have a right to do as they please with lowly civillians.
Absolutely disgusting. These people belong in jail for the rest of their lives.
I would say for longer than their disgusting lives.
Agreed 💯!!
Nooses.....
@@6StimuL84 Really? For a beating, what a dumb ass
Nothing is more realistic
It just amazes me when law enforcement is dumbfounded at why the public hates them so deeply.
They earned it.
They don't care if the public hates them. It just means they'll enjoy it that much more whenever they abuse and attack an innocent civillian.
It’s a hierarchy, they literally and metaphorically look down on us as lesser. Politicians rule, law enforcement enacts and the people serve. Anyone tells you different is lying.
@@cashdingo6386 Yep. Nothing has changed.

Grand Rapids PD needs to be investigated. My daughter was roughed up over a simple traffic stop. Officer said he thought she was “ Fleeing “. All she was doing was looking for a safe place to pull over, in an area she was unfamiliar with! Oh, and she’s a student at Grand Valley State. She has said “ I will never go to Grand Rapids again”.
I want accountability, not qualified immunity. I want transparency, NO MORE qualified immunity!!
then do stuff.... sheep
Even without qualified immunity it'd be difficult to hold cops accountable. They still won't get criminally prosecuted often because prosecutors love cops that abuse people.
if you want accountability you will never get it as there's CONFLICT OF INTEREST as long as cops are part of the govt. .... it's a game they play with dumb people... which they will keep playing while distracting them with nonsense politics and pres puppet elections
that's such a stupid statement. maybe democrats need to clean up there corrupt law enforcement.
@@kevincornell1439 seems you're the stupid one if you think demoncrats/republicans have anything to do with honor. you sir are a moron. politics is the furthest thing from earnest honesty.
😳 Horrifying! The fact that the police made bystanders delete their video footage means THEY KNOW THEY WERE WRONG! End qualified immunity!
Always livestream
Over my dead body and it would have been in this case!
Is there a way to set an account so a device can stream upload a video but not delete from that device? Maybe 2 passwords one with full access and the other with upload only no delete.
No doubt about it. It is as clear a demonstration of consciousness of guilt as can be imagined.
@@trekie12cataz Mobile Justice by the ACLU is an app that will even e-mail the video to you or a loved one

If the internet didn't exist, there would be no pressure to hold corrupt officials accountable
This is actually terrifying… government agents with no accountability randomly assaulting citizens
Who then charge you with 3 federal crimes so you have to spend 100% of your time and money defending yourself for…. Being attacked…..
It's insane
They have immunity, they can do whatever they want to you and your family. You live under tyranny, you do not live in a FREE COUNTRY "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" do you have the courage?
That's the whole point. It's called "social prophylaxis", and it's where the police beat and abuse random citizens for the purpose of terrorizing the others in to submission. Stalin used it pretty effectively.
@@pedroparamo-fw6ezas much as I hate to have to, you are right. I'm one of those people who "support the blue till it happens to you". I hate myself now but I was the victim of excessive force by the police TWICE. I no longer support the blue. The are tyrants, bullies and basically bullying children with f*ing guns. And they have free reign to anything. It's deplorable, horrific and most definitely terrifying to be surrounded by 12+ cops guns pointing at your head, WHEN YOU ARE PASSED OUT FROM A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
YEAH THAT'S PART OF
ONE OF MY STORIES.
I GOT MORE.
I would love to see those cops who demanded everyone erase their phones, to be brought up on charges of evidence tampering, destruction of evidence, and witness intimidation.
If only. This is the US, not a country of freedom and liberty
I have a problem with the amount of slaves exist in a "free" society. Yes massa, I will delete the video -- I just do what the mayor man say.
Not brought up, but buried.
Courts ain't gonna do anything.
It is not like they have done anything constructive beyond some few celebrity/famous cases where they did justice.
For the rest, it is the usual harassment, killing and victim shaming.
That's what "QUALIFIED IMMUNITY" and CORRUPT JUDGES are for...protecting criminal cops from being prosecuted and sent to prison to become a punk b***ch to some 400 pound black homosexual lifer with an 18 inch penis and loves little white boy ex-cops to express his sexual frustration upon with a 24/7 buggering!!! Somebody has got to teach these vermin cops some manners and when they're getting bent over, they will know that justice is being served upon their a*****hole and karma is a real b****ch!
It's not better in Canada, everybody knows that the laws apply 100% to citizens even the super obscure laws that nobody could reasonably know considering regular people are expected to be able to hire a lawyer just so they can understand the basic laws that apply to themselves.
Police officers on the other hand are allowed to break every single law that it was ever written and be praised for doing it.
So, James now has a police record for nothing, and that will always be on his record. That is completely insane.
Yup. Even if he gets the incident of arrest expunged it'll still be there for certain authorities to see..
I remember this one. They just came up to the guy, didn’t announce who they are, and they instantly attacked him. THEN, charged him with felonies that ruined his life.
All for literally walking and minding his business
I've been attacked multiple times by police for walking and minding my own business. Police officers need to resemble Swiss cheese.
We've got a whole lot of mega-police Patriot Act legislation to roll back in this country... and we have a whole lot of ignorant fools to eject from a uniform as well.
@@kermitthefraud700 agreed
Think if James had a boxing background and knocked both of them out. If these pigs were injured they'd have thrown the book at him because he thought he was being mugged
They add the charges to make it harder to punish them. They will trump up anything in effort to slow it all down.
End qualified immunity for cops, prosecutors, and judges. Immunity clearly means Above The Law!
No Qualified Immunity for any and all TAXPAYER Paid employees.
For sure.
No one should have qualified immunity. It just helps one side.
You misspelled tar and feathering or hung from the courthouse steps 😂
If you're in NYS you'll want to support NY Senate Bill 182. It would repeal qualified immunity for police officers and government officials through all of NY.
Call your senator ASAP and tell them to vote for SB 182.
Why is violence against a police officer somehow more of a punishment? You don't have a right to defend yourself once you're being assaulted by the police? With no crime having been committed?
Actually you do.
You can use equal force when the detainment or arrest has no grounds.
But it’s also one hell of a fight in the court room.
Plenty of people who have won the fight and used force against an officer when the officer was out of bounds.
@@richeyrich2203 Not in Arkansas, resisting arrest is resisting any law enforcement officer performing an arrest regardless of whether the arrest is legal or not.
@@arronjerden915 if the arrest is not lawful then all charges associated will be subject to dismissal. In no state are you required to obey an unlawful order.
And in many states you can used equal force to an officer to resist arrest. But you gotta be sure it’s an unlawful arrest or they don’t falsely create a case against you by planting evidence.
It’s like gang violence or even worse than the MOB.
Part of me wants someone with a conceal weapon to defend themselves against these plain clothed officers.
In the wrong state that person would get the death penalty for self-defense. Citizens are left without recourse.
The fact that this even went to trial, just to hassle the guy further, speaks volumes as to the level of rot present in that area.
It would make me go postal and do something really drastic. GD I'd be nuclear. Well, if anything he can keep an eye on their careers and if they're fired or leave the force he should find them without their badges with a bat or some friends like they did. Or wait till they retire and smash them then. Shit, I'd even think about setting one up for some child porn or drugs years down the road. If they go hard and you don't have any justice you have to go hard back. Maybe he could see if they have daughters or granddaughters(of age)to hook up with and then call them and say "dude, I fucked the shit out of your daughter. Remember me?"
And I'm no anti cop guy, but bad cops are THE WORST. Like as bad or worse as the thuggies.
Recently the Supreme Court ruled against him in his civil rights lawsuit too. But he’s not giving up.
You have no idea how evil michigan cops are, and people in general. Until you see it in person or experience it, there's no way to understand the depth of evil of these cops.
*He was a thug. He should have complied. Follow police orders and you`ll be fine*
@chuck 8094 How is that trolling? Isnt that what American Society has been saying for the past 10 years?
"He was a thug... he should have complied". how is that trolling?
This is outrageous. They will give someone a criminal record to cover for their mistakes. Every one of those four officers should be fired and charged with assault.
…In the 1st°.
Set on fire and assaulted
This is normal. This is typical.
Wake up Americans;
Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to watch one owes allegiance.
So those with Allegiance can attack a citizen and the government authority has the security blanket of qualified immunity,
The sole purpose for this allegiance is for prosperity for all.
Harlow, V. Fitzgerald 1982
( Qualified immunity)
(1) The officials believed in good faith that their conduct was lawful,and
(2) The conduct was objectively reasonable.
These two authority persons of the government attacked a citizen with no mindset of the duties and obligations to this country.
This was done with a mindset of I am my own god I can do as I please to all citizens this authority gives me.
From the moment of first contact
Lawfulness was lost. Criminals of the government acting under the color of law conducted themselves as tyrannical criminals supported by the security blanket of qualified immunity. All the acting government authority on scene did their best to use their presumption of authority for the brotherhood of law enforcement not for the oath of prosperity for all.
The destruction of evidence is not in good faith or objectively reasonable with the laws of this United States of America.
Wake up Americans;
800,000 AKA law enforcement officers across this nation keeping America from prospering over
(1). Qualified immunity encourages criminal activity.
(2). Fraternal order of Police, protects criminal activity within the agency of policing
(3) the Unions of law enforcement protect those that do criminal things under the color of law.
Americans with all the proof against these officers all the powers of government are dragging out for years for this Young Man James Kind to see his attackers face justice and for his right to be compensated for this aggressive act of betrayal on his rights as a human.
The United States of America must suffer from Dyslexia,
They most definitely qualify as committing treason to Mr James King. The Pinnacle of prosperity in America a man that is able to access a lot of the prosperity America has the offer. (To prosper). But the government is Committing Treason to a citizen of this country. As long as the authority of government is suppressing
rights of not just Mr James King but all citizens of this country.
Is this a country or is it a continent being pillaged by Genghis Khan's blood line.
Where is this officer that was at Mr James King's bed side losing his cuffs and telling him he doesn't belong here. The brotherhood of policing America, most have convinced the officer to suppress
the honor and beliefs for the oath of the constitution, for the sake of the brotherhood. Just a tangent (noun(2) of the beliefs of the code of conduct ,code of ethics and all other good Americans believe for a path of prosperity for all. Was squashed by the brotherhood.
To all that died to fight against Genghis Khan's blood line, and all other blood that's willing to take the blood of others for one's self gain.
Braking news the government and it's authority is showing the world they have the power to do as they please to ho they so please to do it to. For they have the mindset of having blue blood Royal blood.
Blood of rulers.
Who was it that said history repeats itself?
Open your eyes embrace what is good.
From 1982 to 2023 over 18.28 million government employees.
All that still have a service to this country should be audited and held accountable for their part of all that has be considered under
Qualified immunity.
Qualified immunity was established in 1982. These are the ones that hold the truth of the need to have such a security blanket as qualified immunity to protect the mindset of those with tyrannical beliefs.
Stop those that keep prosperity for themselves.
True leaders need only good faith in themselves to be honorable to the believes to prosper we must have the mindset that prosperity is for all.
It's impossible to be the white stripe on the American flag, but it's possible to recognize what is not pure and innocent.
It's almost impossible to always hold true to hardiness and Valor. But when we see the red in others we most certainly know theirs no valor in their hardiness.
We most as a nation strive to keep a watch for danger that keeps America from being prosperous, it's an agonizing responsibility to always strive for justice, it's the need for all humans to have the chance to prosper.
It's time to hold your self's acceptable, be for hold others acceptable. The path to prosperity for all is to always fight against tyranny and treat it as it's never welcome in any society.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Deus benedicat.
I'm sure this was hold to read even hard to understand if you got this fear you most have read it.
Thanks

That's how American justice is apparently done.
Yeah, we got qualified immunity. Who cares? We can do whatever we want. Nine years later and nothing has happened in court. This is our judicial system, all planned out in favor of the government.
Gotta be thankful for a great lawyer like these two.
I’m ashamed of my country.
Those cops deserve to be jailed for life, no parole.

An apology is an admission of guilt. They're not gonna admit to wrongdoing, even if it's wrongdoing.

Every aspect of this case makes me livid. Qualified immunity has been so egregiously abused that it must be ended.
Would qualified immunity be unconstitutional?
As a father I dont think I'd be able to not stalk the people responsible and fuck em up baaaadddd when the opportunity presented itself. Fuck the immunity bs. They should be charged double than the average citizen because of the higher standard they should be held at.
@@ftws41 Depends. If you define unconstitutional to mean "whatever the Supreme Court decides", then no, Qualified Immunity absolutely is as constitutional as it gets. If you define unconstitutional to mean "whatever a moral and intelligent person interprets the constitution to say", then Qualified Immunity is absolutely unconstitutional and an egregious abuse of power.
Things would change if Qualified Immunity was about protecting officers who made a honest mistake, but then we're talking about spelling errors on a form, not "I accidentally beat somebody up, after I accidentally mugged him, then I accidentally charged him with multiple crimes"
No political party will touch qi because they want the endorsement and votes from the police and police unions. And the cops know this, that's why they're so brazen. They know the people are too cowardly to do anything Other than just complaining and venting, which will eventually pass...

This is a horrendous violation of the man's Fourth Amendment rights to just go into his pocket and get his identification, excessive force and the destruction of evidence.
As a concealed carrier, them not identifying themselves immediately is wild. They could have ended up worse than getting bit and then imagine how long the guy would have sat in jail for legitimately defending himself.
Ditto
Sadly, it wouldn't have gone that way, if he had defended himself with a weapon, he may have gotten one officer but then the others would have killed him
You would end up in jail or shot. Look what they did to king
Well you may have presumably tried to intervene had you been there to save someone from being pulped by muggers. That would've been a noble thing to do but then you'd have been painted as a nasty cop killer they heroically took down.
@@that.ll_do_pig If they're both plain clothes, then odds are neither are open carrying. Drawing from concealed carry will be slow enough it's feasible for him to down both. But he would definitely have the risk of being shot himself.
He was acquitted!? That means a prosecutor, saw the video, saw the beating, listened to witnesses, and still decided to try to put this man in prison. The prosecutor is even a bigger villain than the cops.
No, it means he was found innocent, but they are still trying to sue the officers in court to hold them accountable for their crimes
@CrucialFlowResearch No. What they're saying is, since he was acquitted, that means it went to trial. The prosecutor's job is to decide wether or not there is actually a case to bring to trial. So the prosecutor saw all the evidence and still decided to try and send him to prison when they should have seen that evidence and immediately thrown it out.
Wrong… acquitted of criminal charges. Acquitted means found not guilty. Charges are invalid. They are appealing to the Supreme Court for 5he violation of James’ civil rights. I suggest you look up the legal definition of “acquitted.”
@kriskoppy2753 just looked it up. First hit on Google: "Acquit means to set free, release or discharge as from an obligation, burden, or accusation. It is what a jury or a judge sitting without a jury does at the end of a criminal trial, if the jury or the judge finds the accused defendant not guilty of the crime."
That's what they are saying. It went to trial. Which means the prosecutor still tried to convict despite all of the evidence suggesting innocence.
Who do you think those "invalid charges" were brought by?
@@CrucialFlowResearch it's "not guilty" not innocent.
You guys are real modern day heroes! Police enforcement is out of control. Ego's and revenue is the priority not the constitution. You guys give me hope, thank you.👍
Our country isn't broken, it has never been whole.
We had a whole country from 1781-1878 before this country became a Corporation. Since than this Country has gone down the hole .
This Brutal, illegal behavior is encouraged and is a direct result of immunity. We NEED to hold these animals accountable and end qualified immunity, years ago! It never should have been instituted. It was misguided and completely naive while also being inhumane and Deluded.
Qualified Immunity was extended to cops to make it profitable for civil rights lawyers to sue. Cops were taught to hide their assets and make themselves judgement proof. Lawyers weren't talking egregious cases because there was no boat payment at the end.
The idea of QI was to open the deep pockets of the tax payer. It's a difficult situation. They talked about it from the lawyer perspective in the beginning. How if there's no big payday at the end lawyers just won't take your case. That's even with the deep pockets of the tax payer.
It's a balancing act.
@@edwardscott3262 Suing is the only redress the people had. That's why they're trying to make it to where we have no redress at all. I'm all for going back to the original punishments for traitors. It would solve the tyranny of this lawless gov we've allowed to be created.
no what we _need_ is to stop letting them get into these positions in the first place. dna tests and MRI can both detect psychopathy, screen for public service
Get rid of qualified immunity. Get rid of pensions for cops who lose their badges. Put convicted cops in the general population of prisons.
@@edwardscott3262 This disaster went into effect in 1982.
The local DA should have pressed charges against the "federal agents" for assault and armed robbery.
Basically ..... All these criminals actually deserve triple the prison sentence considering they're supposed to be 'representing the law'. That costume and badge shouldn't allow special rights. It's absolutely insane how these psychopaths are out there murdering/ executing people like Daniel Shaver and they pretty much walk away with extremely light jail time with accompanying massive payouts that set them up for life. One day, these pieces of crap will be hunted as the court systems continue to protect them. If the central banking oligarchs actually follow through with their agenda and ultimately deindustrialize the west ... These idiot enforcers will be first in line when the SHTF, I guarantee it. That might be the one good thing that comes from economic collapse. People with nothing to lose are dangerous.
And for the kidnapping.
@@RiverRat-2112 Technically that would be the charge for all the local police who showed up along with a nice charge of conspiracy for the lot of them.
DA's need to be reminded that thet are supposed represent The People, and they are not free defense attorneys for corrupt cops. Sickening that they went ahead and charged the victim in this case, wasting everyone's time.
Do you think they're going to go after their little revenue making pirates?they're on the same team corrupted as $hit.
Absolutely one of the most disgraceful actions against a citizen by a government entity. This is wy civil rirghts lawyers are a absolute gift from God.
Unbelievable, the immunity for federal officials is absolutely flawed as we all see. These officers caused pain and suffering for miss identifying someone, and just get away with it. Scary stuff.
It would seem at worst it would be a matter of getting redress from Uncle Sam. Washington takes in enough tax to cover this every stinking second. It's not like this would be a budget buster.
They'd rather ruin an innocent man's life than take accountability (the overwhelming burden of which is typically collectively bore by the taxpayers anyway) by admitting wrongdoing.
It is vile and despicable.
Disgusting abuse of power
that alone should be good for conspiracy to commit civil rights violations convictions
morally speaking it is.. utterly without morality.. they would have this innocent kid thrown into the rape room prisons for 3 felonies.. they should be facing capital punishment.. every single one on the scene
talking about ruining something... I dont know about other tourists, but this is just another reason for me to NOT visit the US.
Cops ARE vile and despicable!!
It's disgusting that they don't have the common human decency to man-up and apologize.
It shows what thugs they really are.
Pigs are animals. That's your first mistake, assigning human emotions to animals.
And to charge James with 3 felonies and for the DA to prosecute him after learning the facts...🤬
The LEO involved aren't going to testify against themselves. I can't imagine how the people defending them on the federal level can stand being in the same room without spitting on them much less defending them in court. Perhaps the only way to punish these kind of criminals until laws change is to publicise their crimes, along with their names, photos, in the hopes that decent people will refuse to socialize with them and at least let their families know what they really are.
By apologizing would be admitting guilt! This is why law enforcement acts as if they are above the law!
End the patriot act….end qualified immunity
How do we protect ourselves from our "untouchable" government?
I feel like the moment any officer deletes body cam footage those involved should be immediately charged with obstruction, falsifying evidence, filing a false report, abuse of power, and any other crime that could remotely be charged.
Delete records & you're GUILTY
It wasn’t just the body cams, they had the bystanders that filmed it, delete their video.
YES...We the People need a FEDERAL LAW and STATE LAWS also against any law enforcement officer DELETING any body cam footage AND We need federal and state laws passed REQUIRING all law enforcement officers to wear body cams FOR OUR PROTECTION (and they protect GOOD law officers just as much).
This is unconscionable! We must rein in our Law Enforcement agencies at all levels.
They used to be called "Peace Officers."
Now they are so proud to be "enforcers."
You know what groups have enforcers? Gangs.
This is America
Cops: "lol, who's gonna do that, you?"
Not just the cops judges politicians the government as a whole
Abolish
Thank you so muchf oryour working on this injustice God bless
This is a fantastic channel. Provide so much education and insight. Thank you.
9 years in litigation for this despicable police brutality. The hell this young man and his family went through.
And to think this was about some stolen aluminum cans and bottles of alcohol. From a residence.
still going through
It literally makes me sick to my stomach
I didn’t think any level of misconduct by law enforcement could shock me, but this does.
There needs to be severe penalties for bringing CYA charges brought against innocent people by law enforcement.
There are malicious prosecution statutes that actually have fines and prison sentences for violations. The problem is that the people that you want charged are the same people that are supposed to be doing the charging.
Then stop voting R or D if you vote. The two arms of the uni-party are the primary forces of entropy that keeps adding heat to the system rather than removing it.
@@Tom-hz9oc I don’t know the penalties for malicious prosecution, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the sentencing guidelines aren’t adequate for the offense. Regardless, it needs to be used prosecuted more often.
There are worse cases.
@@sswwooppee The penalty is nowhere near enough for the crimes being committed against the citizens!
Looked it up and the Supreme Court denied to hear the case on October 30.
"In an appropriate future case, this Court should decide this issue." What the absolute hell does that mean??
This is sick! This can happen to anyone! SHAME ON THEM!!!!!! 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
In reality, only a judge that has had this happen to himself or a loved one would care to do anything about this. It's pathetic. Those officers should be in prison for felony aggravated assault at the minimum.
Well this judge clearly Should have had this happen to himself or a loved one
And that's not going to happen because they play on the same team and get blue line privilege 🤮
I'm appalled that the local prosecutors brought this case to trial.
That is frightening!!!
Every American should be against this type of injustice!
Disbar. Disbar. Disbar
The system will always protect its weapons...
Crooked cops, crooked DA’s and crooked judges.
They're evil. Read the Bible.
Thanks for doing what you do.
Always name the criminals - FBI Special Agent Douglas Brownback and Detective Todd Allen of the City of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Police Department.
This man's parents spent their life savings on his "criminal" defense! The thin yellow line gang should have to pay them back w interest!
as always... that would be the taxpayers. Stop monetary lawsuits! Start putting these criminals in prison!
@@DistrustHumans Getting support in the law for this is the only way.
This is scary , that an innocent man could get this brutalized and still have not gotten justice going on almost 10 years
Look at Steve Avery.
Wait till you hear about the ones that got killed
I never got justice. crooked cops knocked my teeth out and tried to leave me to die after having a stroke. Cops kill us every day and noone knows about it. this is just another day for a cop.
SUCH a great discussion! Thank you both for working toward LEO accountability and civil rights!
I think anybody that works in any form of law in cluding public defenders. Should have accountability.
He thought he was being mugged because he was being mugged. What if someone concealed carrying was there, thinking they are about to prevent a broad daylight murder?
It was at a college campus. Gun free zone. Only law abiding victims there.
Soon we won't be able to conceal carry and prevent this.
True, stealing your wallet and beting you up is mugging.
I don't need to imagine a government that does something wrong and not being able to sue over it. I was arrested for a crime I didn't do. Spent over a year in jail fighting for my freedom. Just for the DA to drop all charges a year after my arrest and them saying they didn't have any evidence against me. Happened to me so I don't need to imagine. I lost everything. My home, truck...... everything. I looked for help after I got release. All the attorneys said they want money up front. Lol how in the hell am I going to have money if government just kidnapped me for over a year.
The charges are probably still attached to your name too.
Yup.
You were really lucky to live in this "LAND OF THE FREE" the land where JUSTICE DOES NOT EXIST.
Been there too
A year out of your life,the state deprives you of your livelihood,your home and so far they escape paying you compensation thats injustice,i hope you are able to get your legal rights try Taya Graham real news network!
Zero faith and trust in the government and it sucks.
This is just one example why I have forbidden my daughter and her husband from ever visiting America.
If they live in a free country , they can do what they want, they don't have to obey a dictator.
@@DemiGod.. nah. They agree they don't want to watch policemen shooting innocent people in the street. They don't want to watch women dying because they can't have a DNC after a. Miscarriage. They don't want to look up. People unable to afford treatment. They don't want to look at you down and outs and skid row. They don't want to have to smell the stench from Trump. And in many ways, the most disgusting thing about America is your attitude to women's rights to control their own bodies. You have to go to places like Afghanistan to understand the ROP in their attitude to women.
You have a healthy relationship with your daughter and son-in-law
There's crime and corruption in EVERY country
I've had a burglary with $5,200 in property stolen. The cops never got any Feds to run around and look for my stuff. How in the hell does this guy get such help from the police for a tiny theft? They seriously need to investigate how this guy gets to snap his fingers and get police resources. Something is very corrupt here.
Small town with a bored FBI office.
I know someone who was real estate scammed for $50k by a forged title sale by an investment scam group.the fbi basically told them they basically don’t waste their time on anything under $250k because there are so many bigger fish to go after.
The cops are state police operating with FEDERAL power.
They are still state police!
Sue the city charter directly and force a settlement!
Is this attorney a public defender? Friends with the DA? He did very poor here.
Bryan should take this case on, this bald dude blew it for his client decades ago.
Correct. The character you mention probably belongs to the same secret society as the badge carrying criminals who were involved with this.
@@seebeedee Yeah, but no, they aren’t. Once they’re deputized, they’re legally federal agents working for the federal government, albeit in a limited role.
You also obviously didn’t watch the video. The guy is not a public defender and this wasn’t a decades old case. He already argued it in front of the SCOTUS.
We really need to end qualified immunity. The very idea that you can't sue any government agent, state or federal, who violates your constitutional rights is an affront to the constitution. How are our rights "guaranteed" if agents can violate them with impunity?
Everybody needs a cwp permit and some good practice at the range.
Quite a contradiction. Of course, Some smart pants in the government gave themselves qualified immunity to protect themselves from the Constitution. How are they working for the people? We all need to stand together and review what the government has done to protect themselves instead of us.
Our Constitutional rights are meant to protect us from a tyrannical goverment.
That's what the 2nd Amendment is for!
Impossible to remove the inmmunities, you do not live in a FREE COUNTRY "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants" do you have the courage?
Isn't it amazing how much the government will go through to not have to admit they did something wrong?
I used to be a Blue line supporter.
I am now a Civil Rights Activist
The ONLY people they "protect and serve", whether local or federal, is themselves!!
They are not obligated to protect any one. SCOTUS ruling.
The scary thing is that when cops abuse you, there's no one to call.
You might as well find a Mafia to pay protection money to, because unlike the government, they can run out of money, and thus they have a far vested interest in your safety and happiness.
I'd follow them home and introduce them to my good friends Mr Smith and Mr Wesson. Those two guys are always on call!
You are 100% correct.
We need people who dislike the police of all stripes to form community defence alliances.
State militia's are the answer.
Awards from these lawsuits should come from the police pension fund, not the taxpayers
80% of people in prison are innocent. Its a money machine
He thought he was being mugged? He WAS mugged!
I won’t be surprise if one taken his money. Like they already beat up the poor guy. Why not rub him too as their government thugs.
DebS- He's STILL being mugged. Every single day, for the rest of his life.
Nah, a mugger only takes what you have on you. The government took his family's life savings and years of his life...
And kidnapped.
*He was a thug. He should have complied. Follow police orders and you`ll be fine*
Not just the police, but every judge that sided with them needs to be removed and charged for the multitude of crimes, including violating their oath of office and other Constitutional violations.
I second this
It’s when justice fails in cases like this that the risk of vigilante justice becomes increasingly likely.
After listening to your discussions and hearing all the intricacies around your laws, I am SOOO IMPRESSED with the work you guys do. The laws in your country is written in such a way that it can be read either way and all the dodging and turns your judicial system apply ----- who the hell stands a chance.
Thank you again standing up for your citizens and may God bless you all.
They took his wallet without identifying themselves as Law Enforcement. What was he supposed to have done?!?
They probably wanted his ID, even though their action is unlawful
This has been going on for 9 years?!?! That is insane!!!
It's amazing how little accountability matters when the government is the one who did something wrong...
No one wants to hold law enforcement accountable.
They won’t even allow the officers to be sued for monetary value. Let alone the fact that these criminal officers deserve to be behind bars for what they did. And the entire government protects these criminal officers. But yet they will convict us of the pettiest of crimes. It’s disgusting and this crazy laws need to be changed. Every officer needs to be charged with felony assault and this man James needs to be awarded a minimum 9 million dollars. A million for every year they tried to dodge accountability.
@@skillethead15 Even just getting these assholes charged with simple assault is like moving mountains. Whereas the average citizen would be in cuffs by the end of the day.
@@ianbattles7290 They throw us in jail for not wanting to answer their fishing questions on a traffic stop or recording them in public. But then they turn around and beat the crap out of an innocent man, send him to the hospital and charge him with 3 felonies. And then run away from all accountability. It’s so wrong how they can do this.
Accountability is a two-way street.
