F around and found out pulling people off for minor infraction and weed, and escalating the situtation
Maybe don’t drive on the wrong side of the road
@@Eko34tj have you seen traffic in the area? Nobody stays within the lines here, it was just a pretext to stop the guy. Claiming they smelled weed was an excuse to search the car. We may disagree on the shooting itself but the initial stop was just cops being dicks.
Prayers for the families and the force🙏
When racial profiling goes wrong 😂
How was it racial profiling? Dude was in the complete opposite lane and was pulled for that reason.
@daniellelightfoot8394 "I smell weed," despite no marijuana found in the vehicle...that ignorant officer went off a ridiculous stereotype, and it got her partner smoked 🤣
Still haven’t heard what the traffic was for, probably tinted windows or some other pretextual stop.
DeHart was convicted in 2005 in U.S. District Court in Knoxville on the weapons charge, records show. He was sentenced to 37 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release.
The conviction came as a result of a police stop and standoff on Aug. 31, 2004, in Pigeon Forge. DeHart was riding in a vehicle with another man who identified himself as George Simmons.
According to a Pigeon Forge police report, the stop occurred on the Parkway in the parking lot of Stewart's Discount Drugs. Riding in the front passenger seat, DeHart gave his name as "Jerome Roberson," according to the report.
During the police stop, records show, DeHart refused to cooperate with authorities and put a gun to his head
"Mr. DeHart was later found not to have a permit for this weapon," the report states. "Mr. DeHart held police at bay while threatening to kill himself."

DeHart also was charged in 2017 in Blount County with attacking his girlfriend and trying to strangle her, court records show.
The incident happened in June 2017, court records show. A grand jury indicted him on an aggravated assault count. He pleaded guilty about a year later to misdemeanor domestic assault.
In 2017, DeHart also faced accusations of violating an order of protection, state records show.
DeHart's past arrest record includes an aggravated assault case from 2002, according to a TBI record.
@@TreeLBollingTreeMan we don’t care about his past criminal history. We want to see the video.
His past criminal history has no bearing on this incident. The government deemed him safe to be out in society, so we can’t deflect to his past criminal history 😢
@TreeLBollingTreeMan Now pull up all of the deputies violations
The traffic stop was for driving on the wrong side of the road
Gotta love how some people defend the actions of a convicted criminal in possession of a firearm.
Show the video
Funny how some people make assumptions to lick boots.
Show me the body cam. It sounded warm and fuzzy until you learned a man was being Tazed during a traffic stop. To say he shouldn't defend himself before learning the facts speaks volumes for one's opinion.
He has to get out of the car if they tell him to. United States Supreme Court. Don’t like it? Move to Liberia.
Where is the video?
I wonder what they were pulling him out of the car for?

@@TreeLBollingTreeManbro but what does that have to do with them pulling him out the car
@hannahlivingston5986 incorrect...
@@TreeLBollingTreeManThe prior aggravated assault is from him defending his mother from being battered and beaten by his stepdad
He has to get out of the car if they tell him to. United States Supreme Court. Don’t like it? Move to Liberia.
The US Supreme Court ruled in PA v. Mimms that a police officer may order occupants (driver and passengers) out of a vehicle once it has been detained for a traffic violation under a reasonable suspicion standard. The reasoning flows from Terry and is largely based in officer safety.
Don’t like it? Liberia is waiting.
Thanks for posting. Too
Many people think they know their rights and the law but don’t really have a clue
Why was he stopped. I think you missed the point.
Plate. Warrant. That’s why.
Can you explain why the police have refused thus far to release any video footage of this incident?
Typical bootlicker response. Legality doesn't trump morality.🤡
internal affairs report to see if the police department is racist
Your so ignorant, watch the footage, the man was all over the road, and was a danger to everyone else, before they knew he had a weapon. Claiming racism where it doesn't is like crying wolf, eventually no one's gonna believe you.🙄
Sad the officer and the suspect were only 1 year apart in age.
Praise you Jesus for delivering my life from the wickedness of sin 😊
You people are the reason why Christianity is dying off because you’ve never been Christians
Prayers for family and friends, so sad 😭
Praying for you and the families. I am so sorry that we are living in an evil world. God bless you.
🥱
All this crime can be contributed to our current so called Presidents stupid policies.
All the crimes in the $o called United States started with the European!
Lady there has always been crime in America and the cops are doing most of it.
Yeah! Cope are doing it! Not black people! You know how ignint you sound?
@@buckbuchanan2559Well ya ..but not this bad..its gota way outa hand..this pos animal had a lengthy criminal history..and society keeps letting them out back on the streets to continue their killing sprees..so ya..shes is 100% correct..dumm
@@buckbuchanan2559 facts did you know police steal more than all burglars combined through civil asset forfeiture?
😊❤😊
You’ll never see the body cam footage because the shooting was probably self defense, notice they never specify the reason for the stop or why they chose to raze/attempt to pull the man out of the car
The public is getting fed up with police brutality, and we are in the south, we will defend ourselves be warned. We are armed.
Do what you are told by Law enforcement officers to avoid tragedy
...if LE is in wrong, hire an attorney...violence is not the answer
@@Larryolson123 body cam footage?
@@Larryolson123and guess what hes not allowed to own a gun but guess what 🤦♂️
I was thinking the same thing they're not going to show the video it may have been self-defense .
@@RobRamirez456He will be dead or in jail in 24 hours he spent enough time in federal and state prison and had a standoff with pigeon forge police so he ain't learning anything.
😁
They are probably getting the story together on why they stopped him in the first place. These cops need to learn that these pretextual may not be tolerated much longer. Maybe this guy was fed up with being harassed.
Or maybe he is a felon 🤦♂️
He was a drug dealer you idiot. This is my town, ahole!

If they tell him to get out of the car he has to. That’s United States Supreme Court verified law. You don’t like it? Migrate to Liberia. .
