- He was just trying to get to work when officers pegged him -- the only black man on the light rail train -- as the suspect who unlawfully fired a gun in a church kitchen.
Good on him. Once they saw his ID, he should have been released immediately. I stead the cops thought he was an easy mark, they weren't gonna let this black man get away with being innocent. Hope he wins a fat stack.
Deliberate and intentional.
2 things cops say "I feared for my life" & "why are you breathing ? many of you will understand this message OTHERS won't
🗣️ EXACTLY ✊🏾
😬
And also cops always will you yell at you
" do not resist ,do not resist" so it gives the impression that you are uncooperative
heartbreaking but true
Crazy how the breathing statement is still valid right now. So sad
Honest mistake is when you had no discription, id, loction. That was an "on purpose".
For sure.
They had the name of the actual suspect, but they figured.. we've got this guy detained already, so let's just hold him and see if we can't pin something else on him, y'know.. for reasons.
Facts Check out This song and video by JONAH'S RUN should be an anthem. It highlights the injustice that blacks face in this country!

Exactly
He fit the description. Clothed, black and breathing.
3 ft to 9 ft tall, weighing 45 to 1000 lbs, baby faced with full beard sideburns and goatee, bald headed with close cropped fade braided Afro in Dreadlocks. Wearing exactly what he was wearing and had two arms. Could be male or female, possibly both. Oh and that skin hue, light mocha to deep purple. Yeah, he the one, get him boys. Worthless POSs in costumes with a badge and a freaking gun, without that crap, they would never approach.
@@dwainmcwilliams2043 Accurate description.
Dwain McWilliams I’m shocked cops ain’t waiting outside the delivery room for a black child to be born to lock them away at birth.
@@rd4454 Please, they don't need any suggestions. Plus CPS already has it covered
Once they knew it wasn't him(when he gave them ID) they should have let him go not put him in cuffs,search him and put him in the cop car. Then to add insult to injury they gave him a ticket to boot smh.
They had to give him a ticket, in order to justify their wrong doing. It wasent him, but we found some bullshit to peg on him captain!
White cops cannot envision a black man who's innocent.
@Michelle Goodrow ....I'm not going to disagree. However we know that the Archie Bunker/Trumpster mentality is concentrated in the white cop demographic and we know it influences their interactions and who they target. According to DOJ stats blacks are 3.5 times more likely to be stopped and searched while whites are 4 times more likely to be actually carrying contraband. Then right-wing media uses these skewed arrest stats to justify police abuse of minorities.
Donald Trump has nothing to do with this. People have been abused by the police before Trump ever thought about being in politics. I've seen this type of stuff from the police for over 50 years. I'm tired of this being blamed on Trump. I clearly remember the days when the police would just shoot you in the back just for running,and if you lived in Detroit we had the Big 4 you didn't want to cross those guys or your could find yourself beat up and under arrest.
@@jamesharrison1143 .....Yeah and Donald Trump appeals to that demographic who feel that police abuses are either non-existent or justified: that white police are above the law just like Donald Trump himself. You saw him stand before an audience of grinning applauding police officials telling them to bang "suspects" heads on the car and rough em up. Those days you referred to where the police could afford to be sloppy because they got away with everything is the nostalgia Trump is invoking with MAGA.
The journalist's question at the end of the video is questionable. How could it be an honest mistake when the name in the man's ID didn't match with the suspect's and rather than being release with excuses he was searched and taken into custody?
Guaranteed that Media Station was told but they have to word it that way, police will never admit fault to anything and police Shakedown anyone who tries to make them accountable.
turning left when the gps said turn right is a "mistake"
you have a search for Donal Trump, you don't go arrest Bill Gates and get to call it a "mistake"
It's never an honest mistakes with cops!
Policing in America has changed from finding out you're not the suspect and letting you go to going ahead and investigating you further because they believe pretty much anybody can be arrested at any time for any reason.
The other reason that stuff like this goes on is because it happens repeatedly and it goes by unchecked and unchallenged.
No it wasn't they looked at his ID and to them that wasn't enough
Yeah, that's the problem
It should've been.
I saw another video where the police told a guy his ID meant nothing to him. These fools will never admit to being wrong.

You always conduct yourself so well. Good work for not letting this go.
These cowardly cop's are a menace and threat to public safety. Good luck with the federal lawsuit please update us.
How can it be a mistake?
Dispatch: the suspect's name is Earl Motton
Officer: We have one in custody whose name is Brown
Evidently not the right person
Officer cuffs him up and arrests him anyway.
Brother brown you are right to sue the living daylights out of them. And as for the officer who arrested you he shouls be fired.
He didn't even look like the person they were looking for and his ID should have ended it there. It's like every black person looks the same to them 😒
They know we all don't look the same, they just think that any one of us is no different than the other. If they can't get a specific one, another one will do just fine.
@@blacknosugarnocream Good point. They dont believe we all look alike...but if they can't catch one of us, any other one of us would do.
I’m so happy he kept his life. Minorities with guns are so scary even when they announce it with permits so in his case I hope he gets a permit and justice.
As usual ,Denver law enforcement get it wrong. Racial profiling is the norm in Denver
It's the norm all over America.
This is at least the fourth video of galactically stupid denver and Colorado police recently fuckin up. What's wrong with them
WavyDavy they are police. That sums it up, as to what is wrong. The police’s power needs to be curtailed.
This is one of the reason why people don’t give a damn when cops die, some people even celebrate it and if people celebrate your death chances are you were a horrible individual.
Exactly 👍💯
Lady Karma has been slacking lately. she needs to do a better job of leveling the playing field
This man was inconvenienced. This is a scene out of 1920s the KKK Patrol gallops up on their horses with white sheets and harass you like it's no big deal
If he wins any money and what is leftover after the lawyers "take", he needs to leave that town, state and possibly the country. For there is going to be retribution. The police probably are using his image for target practice, now that they know he is armed.
How could he not fit the description? He's black. Another black dude did it but it doesn't matter. You're black you'll do.
None Yours,
Head office: we’re looking for a suspect he’s back.
Police officer: looks like we’re going to have to arrest all the black people
Sad but true.
How could it be a "honest mistake"? Name and description didn't match but handcuffed and searched all the same.
If they saw his identification and saw that he was not the person they were after, they should have let him go. Instead, these dumb officers continued with him as if was who they were looking for and are now being lawfully sued.
The unaccountable government Gestapo strikes again.
Thanks for paying for his dream..
The great WHITE IN BLUE !!!
i hope this man win the lawsuit & also get them fired for false arrest & Etc...
Let the jury decide Your settlement if they do not want to admit the wrong THat sends a real message
The verdict of 12 white jury members will be, "Not guilty."
@@georgethegreat7015 this is a civil case not Criminal on the federal laws
Just replying to member who suggested to leave the decision to the jury. Same thing if you leave it up to judge/DA. Not guilty!!
@@georgethegreat7015 the jury will have to decide the case under federal guidelines once they er found guilty you kill two birds with one stone
This was an unlawful detainment.
Once they saw his id & confirmed he wasnt their suspect but refused to release him it stopped being an "an honest mistake
Hey he was BLACK, so of course he fit the description. We all look alike. And he knew he should have had a copy of his permit on him whenever he carries his firearm. Thank GOD they didn't MURDER him.
They could've argued honest mistake right up until they got confirmation of the name and saw his i.d. was not the same name.
When the cops disrespect our men... it's a oops...
Yup. Stop! police ! put your hands in the Bang!Bang!Bang! Oops.
An honest mistake that still violated is civil rights.
What happened? What was the outcome in court
I hope he gets retribution!
Hope You get Justice sir..this was so wrong..
he was profiled,embarrassed in public for doing nothing wrong,get officers sued and hopefully jailed
Street justice is required. Justice system is broken
Take away their qualified immunity and all this harassment will STOP now.
The fact that the corrupt cops found out it was not him by looking at his ID and not ending the detention right there and then, tells you they were not really looking for the real suspect 100%, they were USING THE EXCUSE of "looking for the suspect" to detain and search other black men that they can get their hands on.
I hope you sue and get every dime
"Honest mistake?".. Yeah, Right!
Sounds fine right up to the point he presented ID and the name didn't match. It's OVER, DONE, FINISHED at that point. You don't get another 30+ minutes to figure something out.
Officers were completely unprofessional.
"Once they get back to us " is a strong indication that it probably wasn't just an "honest mistake ".
Can’t find any updates on this..anyone know what was the court outcome?
trail was canceled due to covid -19. waiting on new trail date..
Lawsuit!!
He showed it wasn't him the pig should have left, piglets are bad and need to be sued each and every time they make a false arresst, go after there homes there wages and there cars civil court for pain and suffering and defermation of caracter
Hope you get paid my brother..
I am a criminal defense attorney and politically Conservative. I see things like this often. I am always outraged by gross profiling. It is demeaning to human dignity and violative of the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution. it does not matter if you are on the left or on the right this kind of thing is just wrong.
Cop: sir do you know how black you where going?
Any updates on this story?
That is ONE of the reasons i dont use PT here in LRAR. I ride a bicycle.
They were told the name of the person they were looking for. This was no accident.
Had no business detaining him, pay up.
Good for you Mr. Brown
People with guilt will never admit their guilt.
Sue them personally, leave them broke.
Anchor is like he’s taking him to court for this like it’s ludicrous
Hope he gets millions
Why doesn’t he get a permit? Two wrongs don’t make a right!
RTD Response:. We investigated ourselves and found or no wrongdoing.
That’s what you have to do. Sue every single time they do this bullshit. That’s the only way to stop these pigs.

Oh, so he was carrying a gun without a permit. He should have been arrested.
Hell no. Nothing matched him to that crime. And you still hold him hoping to find something. Those cops should be fired and pay him out of their own pockets.
I remember when officers were there to protect and SERVE not harass and attack. You know if you were underage caught drinking or some such foolishness the officer would hall you home, wake up your parents and turn you over to them. Now that permissive parents have little or no oversight of their kids ----- In a poor way I see this attitude trickling up throughout all law enforcement.
Sue the he'll out of them! That will learn them.
Hope you win the lawsuit
I know dude.he was my barber. Its crazy cause i moved because it was so racist out there
Them punk cops ain't got any business being in law enforcement, not treating the people of this country this way .
So the Denver police said it was an honest mistake!
I like the part of the joke of them being honest.!
He is seeing justice, not retribution.
Hope he gets a good pay day. Much deserved
He is going to get paid
Lawsuits are not a deterrent for bent police officers. They know that tax payer will generously pay for their wrongdoing.
I hope you get a lot of money and those cops lose their jobs.
There are too many cases that I can't believe anymore that the police is doing so many mistakes!
Sue for Their Net Worth.........
How did the police come to stop the train in the first place? Did they have a report that someone fired a gun in a kitchen then ran out hopped on the train? Or what?
i don't know ?
Incredibly lazy cops can't be bothered to LISTEN when told the man's name and it didn't match.
How did the outcome end with the lawsuit ?!?!
trail was canceled due to covid -19. waiting on new trail date..
Wrong guy.. Should have cut him loose immediately.
Even when they had a name and his ID they still cuffed him. Makes no sense.
Write that man a big check Denver
W O W ‼️ ... When I see all the countless videos . Of black people being targeted . For driving while black . I took a small amount of assurance . In living in the city . And relying primarily on PUBLIC TRANSIT ! But after watching this . There's no escaping this tyranny !
They had name and ID for the suspect and presented with totally different id and description they still hold the guy.
He had a gun with no license. Ummm.
The public need to stand up for what right not the wrong we all need to stand our grounds against these gangs members so called(train robbers) people stand up and start filming and recording if you see cops talking to a person because that person would need witnesses from public to abtain their innocents from police curroption. WAKE UP PEOPLE
We automatically fit the description doesn't matter who they are looking for
"Update" please.!!!!!!!!!!
There you go again cops breaking the law
How the fuck was it a mistake when he showed his I.d that should have ended it him proving he was not the guy. I hope he wins his law suite. Wut needs to happen to make police b held accountable. Make them start paying these law sites them selves. Stop charging the people for their racial unjustified stops, beatings, nd wrongfully arrested law abiding citizens.
I like his bracelets
Yes,his bracelets are beautiful
Why the gun no permit if that was me I'd be in jail
Hope he cleans-up with his lawsuit, they got his ID, his name, radios asking name of person they were looking for, NO MATCH yet they detain him in cuffs. Just held him trying to make up a crime to justify the stop.
When you think all black people look alike, this been going on for 400 years.
Honest mistake my ass. If that was the case I'd and name he should have been let go. It was racial profiling I hope he got those cops fired and a huge settlement
It was not an honest mistake... it was par for the course
It really seems so to me
How many mistakes can they make 🤔? 300,000
