Absolutely not rude. I think he handled the situation very calmly and professionally
💯 cop did nothing wrong, he's not the feelings police
I took it as the officer saying the owner was trying to be nice but because the city is coming down on him, he now has to be an ahole.
Seems like one calling another.
I agree with this though I think it definitely could have been worded far better because I can see how the reporter could take offense to hearing that. If I were reviewing this case I'd just tell the officer to utilize better words when having an interaction. For example, could have said "Hey man, spread the word around that this guy has been calling a lot and the city has been kind of coming down on him as of late so he is kind of ramping things up to avoid dealing with all of that ya know? So I don't want you to get the short-end so just go around and let everyone know.". Something like that, I know the officer had good intentions and was acting chill as sort of de-escalation that will help him both now and any future interaction he may possibly have with the group down the line.
The Officer was kind in both voice and actions.
He's trying to get compliance from the trespasser, you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar. Sometimes words are just words.
not when dealing with junkies and referring to the owner in that manner which will 100% make the junkie believe they can do as they wish because even the police refereed to the owner in that way
@@rodrod383 I spent almost 20 years dealing with junkies, the officer's method works. Get a job doing security and you'll understand.
@@DarthVader1977 he did not need to refer to the owner in that way that was not a "method"
@@rodrod383 You would be terrible at security/loss prevention.
@@DarthVader1977 yea because someone doing that job would keep that job by telling thief to please not come back and steal from the store any more because their boss is getting pressure from corporate to reduce theft so they are becoming an a hole.....yea that would make you a really great employee to let a thief know you think your boss is an a hole for preventing them from stealing
Nope. He told the truth...
No, not rude at all. Using a calm voice and demeanor, this LEO stated facts to the subject. Even asked him to spread the word in the community about not coming to the location. While people in general don't like being referred to as an arsehole, it is what it is!
How do you figure that the owner trying to avoid issues with the city makes him an arsehole? Are you going to pay whatever fines he gets?
@judystine7901 To clarify, no one's calling the owner an a-hole. The LEO stated he was becoming one. My saying "it is what it is" simply means I'd probably become one as well if I were the owner and dealing with the same. Homelessness is a much bigger issue outside of a police force. Have a great day, Judy!😊
@@EveryoneKnowsItsWendy Let me get this straight. The officer wasn’t being rude, he did not refer to the owner as an asshole only that he was becoming one? Okay, that’s an opinion that should have been kept to himself in his official capacity. He was there to perform his duty to remove someone who was trespassing on private property, he has no dog in this fight. He should have been there as a neutral party to the situation and simply done his job, no opinions required. And by you saying, “it is what it is” you indicated that you see the owner as an asshole and just agreed that the officer did refer to him as an asshole. The owner is not responsible for the homeless population. I’m sorry that man is homeless, but if he were to get hurt on that property just who do you think he’s going to look to for compensation?
@judystine7901 You are over-thinking this, in my humble opinion. I once was homeless, just FYI, and not for reasons you could think of. Again, have a great day/weekend!😊
@@EveryoneKnowsItsWendy Oh okay, I’m overthinking a situation where a property owner doesn’t want trespassers on his property. Apparently you don’t mind unwanted visitors on your property.
The city was causing him problems that he got the city to fix.
u were being real. the public was never ready for body cams.
this interaction makes perfect sense …
an officer will get a more cooperative response if they talk to the subject in a language they understand …
is this guy whining aGAIN ?? … sticks & stones, big boy … sticks & stones
💯👏👏
The officer did not call the owner an a$$hole. He only said that the owner was becoming one. Apparently, the owner is thin-skinned.
🤣😂🤣
I'd be pissed, too. All the trash they leave behind? Needles? Ya, get the f@ck outta here. I feel bad that they're homeless, but I wouldn't want to have to pick up after them, either. Let alone they try and break in to steal stuff. 🤷♂️
Is this trying to get everyone off without escalating things. It worked so I was the owner. I'd be happy that I got what I wanted and there wasn't a huge altercation on my property that I may have to go to court over.
He was just saying understand from the owners perspective and the loiterer got that.
Just another way of saying "he may seem like a jerk, but hes just protecting himself from liability"
DEMOCRAT
Apparently, it is rude to poke somebody in the forehead
and say "skip intro" when they start talking to you .
I'm gonna have to try this
The owner needs to grow a pair and stop calling LE for stupid stuff. He could have talked to the guy just as easy as the officer did. I have to ask people to leave the property all the time at my job. Never any issues if you aren’t an asshole to them. Sheesh
More than likely, he has.
I believe that you released this last year right? I think you were fine and straight to the point. Well done as always Officer Ben 💙💙💙💙
I released the security camera footage, but I just got the body camera.
So is it officer Ben that's putting these videos out?
@@Hannadayflo yes
If I wanted someone trespassed, I'd be cool with the officer making me the bad guy.
not being rude AT ALL, that is being very kind 💙💙💙
He was rude To the owner According to the owner by calling him an ass hole.
@@216trixie and that was rude.....the junkie will take note of that and use it as a reason to return again
No... the Officer was speaking to the person at the building, on his own level....making it more favorable for him to cooperate...making it seem he was on his side. He was trying to de escalate... when the Officer talks to the owner, he will speak to him, on his level...probably say something like "yeah these bums are just everywhere, I told him to move along, he can't hang out here"
They are Peace Officers, n that's what he was doing.
No not rude! The cop said it in a way the street guy would understand! Cop did fine job! Thanks
No, not rude at all! I think the officer did a fine job. Not unprofessional as some have said. The officer will made more of an impact by leveling with the man. No…I think the officer handled this in the best way possible while keeping peace and remaining compassionate and respectful. ❤
Caller might’ve gotten his feelings hurt because the officer called him an asshole, so what? I don’t think it was necessary, but it doesn’t really matter because he still got the job done. The caller was overreacting.
The owner cannot even spell properly yet he owns property. He is an asshole. That cop was pretty chill. The homeless dude was chill.
Do you seriously think that the property owner typed that report? How dense are you?
You don't have to stop at just licking Ben's boots - you could probably deep throat the whole thing if you tried...
This. 👆
My thoughts exactly!
Slum lord
Yea what a jerk. He needs to be arrested for mispelling his complainte s 😅
No officers don't need to hold your hand and be nice to order people
That's called being unprofessional if you're talking about no respect.
Oh my goodness, the level of rudeness, it's criminal offence. Seriously, the owner is a puts. He made maybe a factual statement and he has the right to say it.
No, you’re fine.☕️
The officer was not rude at all, people really need to act more like grown adults and not let their fragile feelings rule their lives.
Ughhh and what was supposed to be rude about that interaction??? I feel like he was NOT rude at all. I feel like he was just explaining the situation in a direct way that will get people to realize that the guy that owns the abandoned building isn't playing around about people loitering outside his building!!
The officer handled it in the best way possible. No one was hurt, and everyone went home, a win in my book!!
That was one of the most polite uses of the word “asshole” I have ever heard.
What an a-hole trying to defend his property and not get in trouble with the city.
Everyone expects to have their feelings coddled by others now. Before I complain about or react to someone else, I think to myself, is this worth my time and energy? The answer is almost always “no”-life is too damn short.
That sir was a classic Ken. No you are not being rude at all. I've seen this video before. I still believe you handled it properly. Good day sir.
Excuse me? Lmao
@@Kenlydford no offense intended. 😆
@@DB-po8rs 😜
Not to the random guy but to the business owner yes and jm a Columbus resident.
No not at all, why?
I am a Columbus resident. Is this city a supporter of defending the police? Do we have a progressive lawless DA? How are police being treated? Hague Ave near W Broad
has certainly changed over the years. Thank you for all you do!
the caller is a karen that knows nothing about the streets. what that officer did was save him a ton. if people think its him kicking them out they have nothing else to do but retaliate. if they think he is getting in trouble because of them they may feel bad since its coming from a faceless entity "the city"
I think filing the complaint proves the officer nailed the description of you.
Bingo!
Dam robot Officer malfunctioned again......😂😂 If I was the caller I would have been thanking the Officer for taking the time to explain the situation.
You spoke in a calm and controlled way towards the homeless guy in a way where he could quickly and easily understand.
the owner of this property needs to grow a thicker skin and stop cutting his meds in half.
Good morning, Officer Ben!🌄😊
Officer Ben I have never known you in all the time I have been watching to be nothing but calm. You handled it perfectly. You are being respectful to the homeless/ man standing there and because of your respectfulness to him he will let others know not to come there. I’m so so sorry you have been reported for no reason. You have always been a policeman that is always fair always sincere and more importantly always honest and tells it as it is. Sending all the love and respect Leisa Western Australia xxxx❤❤❤❤❤
Personally, if i were the owner, i might get my feelings a little hurt but id also be like "whatever works for the officer in order to get people to stay off my property." If that means you have to play "nice guy" or act cool with the "bad guy" to get the point across, so be it.🤷🏻♀️
Officer Ben is never rude. He's the nicest one out there
It’s crazy I can tell it’s officer Ben from the second he begins to get out of the car.
There's a difference between calling someone an asshole and saying they're acting like an asshole. Probably not the most professional approach, but hardly a reason for a lawsuit. I work in healthcare and if I told a patient they were acting like an asshole I would be reprimanded. That doesn't mean they weren't acting like an asshole.
He was only being rude about the property owner.
and that was the opposite of who he needed to be rude to
I think the officer was just trying to relate to the man. However, calling a property owner an asshole is not appropriate. Just say "we're getting a lot of pressure" and leave it at that.
correct by calling the owner that in the mind of entitled junkies and squatters that simply tells them that what they are doing is not a big deal because even the police said the property owner was an a hole....others are trying to say that the officer was "trying to relate" or "not causing an issue" with a law breaker.....but the end result of that will be that guy returning again because those types only understand one thing and that is getting after them and making things hard on them.....when you give them even a millimeter of leeway they take a mile and referring to the owner in that way (worse yet while stating in the same breath that the city is after the owner o clean things up) it tells the junkie that the cops are not going taking this seriously thus the junkies will not either
@@rodrod383 You're babbling isn't making any sense. The officer didn't call the owner an a-hole. He was he going to become as a-hole about the situation. Big difference.
This has been repeated several times. The officer DID NOT call the owner an a-hole. He said that the owner was going to become an a-hole about it. Learn to listen to words in a video.
@@Beautifulclouds60 the officer had no need to make any comment on the property owner that is maintaining his property as the city is asking him to do and especially making any comments to the person that is creating issues for the property owner
@@Beautifulclouds60wrong! He didn't say "going to become"...he said "he IS becoming an asshole". There is a slight difference on the scale of assholeism. Either way, it's calling the property owner an asshole and probably should not have been said.
Just because the officer said that doesn't mean he's being rude. He's trying to communicate with the homeless people on their level.
Perfect. If a cop tells them to leave, it's much more likely to keep them away.
How in the world could that even be viewed as rude in the slightest?
Calm, straight to the point, gave the guy space to get a move on without standing over him, and made a good call to make a point in language that the subject would understand without going into a lengthy discussion. The caller wasn't called an asshole, but it was made clear that he is going to become one if the situation doesn't improve because he has the city breathing down his back. How can the caller say the police aren't on his side when an officer showed up, told the loiterer to move on and to pass the word along that this place is being watched. What more does he want?
The kind officer with the awesome voice.
not a problem here,sometimes getting the point to the offender in their language helps
He wasn’t calling the owner an asshole he was saying it as if people were going to continue with trespassing the owner will become one as in being more harsh on punishment like the officer stated by issuing arrest protocols
Okay, I am not sure at which point of the brief interaction I am even supposed to look for rudeness. If the owner thinks the officer calling him a bit of an a&$hole was inappropriate, the officer managed to talk to the trespasser and get him to leave. There you go, problem solved.
No not at all you are never rude very kind too all very respectful ❤
Oh man, you were so rude to him and the caller. 🙄🤦♂️ that was sarcasm for anybody who doesn't know me. If he thought that was being rude. He would probably cry if he listened to Goggins.
Thanks for the video! God bless, and please stay safe out there, brother!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
He wasn't being rude, but it's not correct to call the owner an asshole. The owner is being perfectly reasonable.
You were very respectful towards the fella. You were honest with the guy, explaining that the owner was being an asshole . The owner is making it look worse then it is, instead of doing things to prevent people from going on his property, he is putting it on the police to deal with the problem. A tall fence around the property would stop the problem. Have a great day my friend, and stay safe.Happy Easter ❤️🙂⚘️🐇🚔💙.
Officer is keeping the peace by helping the owner but also relating to the people hanging around the building by saying the owners a asshole. It’s phycological warfare on them streets and this officers knows exactly how to play the game. He did a good job
The complaint really does make this owner seem like an asshole. The cop is doing it in a way that makes the guy feel like its not the owners fault, the city is comong down on hom so he has no choice but to be an asshole and please tell your friends because now they will start getting arrested. What did the guy want him to do, beat him up?
No he handled it well and treated the homeless man with dignity 👍
By the looks of the property, he shouldn't even care, one way or another.
Columbus PD cops are NEVER rude. Not that I've ever seen, anyway. He's just mad because you treated the trespasser with respect. Reading his complaint, he sounded like an asshole (& a Karen). Seriously, I've never seen a video where you have been anything less than kind, respectful & professional. I really hope that your department has your back & doesn't write you up for this ridiculous complaint because that is how all of these PD's lose great cops. Keep doing you because you are awesome!!
This is the speach in question
"It's a matter of time but he's going to start issuing like arrest protocol etc...........
....so in order for him to avoid getting in trouble he's becoming an asshole".
English is not my native language but I guess words like "asshole" have various nuances depending on the contest.
And in this contest I don't think officer Ben means to offend the owner but he's rather warning these people to stay away from private properties or they will soon get in trouble seriously.
However I'm Italian, so...🤷
You all have a peaceful Easter!🐣
That’s it? I read the statement and waited for the rude officer. The video ended and I’m still waiting. Suppose the CRB will have a 2 hour meeting about this.
Maybe just a tad unprofessional, but not my place to pass judgement. Especially without knowing anything about the past interactions.
How is it unprofessional he told straight facts and didn't sugarcoat anything. Also there is this thing called freedom of speech and you exercise it in your comment and I just exercised it in mine and the officer exercised it in the way he handled the interaction and that's how all that works. Apparently people want to be fed lies and talk to like children but I thought that was the news stations on the TV to do all that, Oh and Brandon.
You're all good my man. If anything this well loved officer is trying to help you out. It matters the manner you talk to people whether they will comply with your request or not and was handled 💯
Not rude at all, he handled that very well. Explained about city giving owner a hard time and getting frustrated with it is how i took it. BUT.... BY FILING A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE NICE OFFICER MAYBE HE REALLY IS AN OL BROWNEYE LOL 😂
This business owner needs to find something else to cry about
100% incorrect unless you want to pay his fines to the city.....he pays taxes to have police deal with trespassers and junkies on his property he does not only pay taxes to have the city get after him about the condition of his property while the police call him an inappropriate name to someone that is on the property creating an issue
Maybe if you were a business owner and anything other than a minimum wage employee, you'd understand. Unfortunately you don't have the brainpower to comprehend his situation, which he is 100% in the right.
He wasn’t being rude, he was just letting this gentleman know that the owner of the property is a bit of a dick.
There's a longer version too but no you weren't rude. 👍
👮🏼🚔💙
Sounds like the best thing that could be said!! The owner is being forced to call so he doesn't find himself in trouble with the city. The Officer lets the guy know that the owner has no choice but to take action, that being said hopefully there's no retaliation from the homeless man or others if they know what position the owner is being forced into...
Speaking as a Senior Officer / fill-in Supervisor and FTO here in Texas that covers a wide area from the ghettos and hoods out to the hills and woods, here is my $0.02:
I think referring to him / his actions as becoming an "ahole" was probably not the wisest choice of words to communicate the point and I can understand that in his shoes I could find offence at being referred to as an ahole, especially for something Im being forced to do by the city just to keep myself out of a jam (though going so far as to say "I dont think the police are on my side" from this interaction is being a drama queen through the roof, no question).
I wouldnt say rude, and caller is being petty by filing an official complaint and crying about it to the level he is, but yeah I know Ive ended up wording things poorly in the moment on plenty of calls myself and upon reflection think "That could have been taken poorly, probably shouldnt have said it like that" and I feel this is one of those moments.
Happens to the best of us, especially in this era where Officers are expected to behave like a retail store employee whose customer satisfaction is the number one priority and everyone is so easily offended by even inoffensive things.
So I understand the reason for saying what you said (we all know street folk gossip like anyone else and your tired of deviating from patrol functions to play private security for one particular building over and over), but while caller is taking it way too far I do at least see reason to find offence (however minor). You are a great Officer who has the utmost respect for the citizens of your community, so I know this isnt even worth being called a teachable moment to do better. I say it was a small verbal misstep that likely wouldnt happen again anyway regardless of if a complaint got filed or not.
It seemed to me that you were explaining why the owner's hands were tied and had to call the police...even explaining that the guy is being pressured into being an "Asshole". I think the owner is taking it the wrong way and doesn't like the "asshole" reference.
If you own property would you want homeless hanging around your area, That is why we have fences or walls. Weak people think differently.
I don't mind being called an A--hole. I would rather people get the message that as such, my property shouldn't be the place to hang out.
Good morning Officer Ben ❤❤❤
Well this depends on which generation you've been born... to a Zoomer this was likely horrifying to watch.
😂😂😂
Not really, quite an ordinary police interaction. All he did was spew a single line of profanity.
How is this horrifying? Please explain.
@216trixie these brazen stormtroopers were likely appointed by Trump to carry out a campaign of terror against urban campers just tryna live their truth like litderalldtky bruh do you know what I'm saying bro?
Cop was rude and unprofessional.
No. The LEO asked the person to leave, as was requested by the owner. To the owner, thanks for making this LEO's job just a little bit harder.
Absolutely not
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck, it's a sure sign it's a duck.
I think the officer was just trying to put it on the guy's "level" so to speak, when referring to the owner as that term. I didn't take it as the officer was actually claiming the owner was an asshole. He was trying to put it in relatable jargon with the trespasser. It's not hard to see what this verbal interaction was about and why that word was used. In fact, I think the cop handled it very well and very professionally.
What a karen. The officer wasn't rude at all.... He's simply saying it like it is. Maybe the officer could've said "he's having to become an masshole" but still even without adding one single word it's what he meant. The owner is too thinned skinned if that upsets him to the point of filing a complaint.....
The officer said, "So, in order for him to avoid getting in trouble, he's becoming an asshole."
Of course it's rude and disrespectful towards the property owner to say he's becoming an asshole. The cop should have used different words to describe the property owner like, he has to become more strict or more concerned or more on top of the situation... If I was the property owner, I'd be upset to hear the cop describe my behavior as "becoming an asshole".
calling the property owner an a**hole for not potentially escalating a situation or getting bodily harmed but calling someone he pays taxes for 👮🏼♂️👮🏽♂️ is crazy and everybody in these comments are just as unhinged.
I think the officer did him a favour by indicating that any resentment that may be felt about being asked to move on should be directed to the city because the only reason the owner is doing this is because the city is coming down on him
The officer was NOT Rude 😂 he was professional and explained the situation to the guy and said to pass the word to others not to be on the property. The caller is being a jerk, is the property empty 🤦 why doesn't he fix it up and rent it so strangers don't hang out there 🤦
The property owner is becoming an asshole? Because he doesn't want degenerate filth on his property littering, which he's being penalized for.... That makes a lot of sense. How about do your job, just enforce the law, and keep people off his property. I'd refrain from making those comments in the future.
No he was not rude at all. Very civil.
Interesting channel,
Rude? No. genuine? Yes
Cop was just trying to portray that he was on the homeless guys side in order to get easy compliance, and hopefully cooperation in spreading the word to everybody not to hang around there anymore. Honestly, looks to me like this was the best way to achieve what the owner wanted.
Howdy from Temple, Texas
You should link the reference video in the description! 😊
Wait, What?
I'm sorry I'm still over here waiting for the officer to show up that was rude?😂😂😂
Also officer Ben I don't think you have a rude bone in your body lol You're just very truthful people can't handle that I guess 🤷
At this point it's up to the building owner to resolve the problem by installing a fence, hiring his own security or changing locations. I understand his frustration, but CPD can't be there 24/7 and should not be expected to be. The area in general attracts transient people, the building looks abandoned, there's no fence and there's no sign made that will keep people away.
As for the becoming an As...ole comment... I don't see a problem with an officer using a little colorful language when talking to street level people. It's unfortunate this comment was picked up and called in making it necessary to address. As I thought the guy hanging around the building did not make the complaint and had nothing to do with the CPRB finding.
Not sure what else to say about it.........
Officer Ben thanks for posting the video.........
Nope! Community policeactivity
Definitely not being rude to anyone or about anyone. Speaking the truth, looking out for the people who hang atop there and looking out for the owner at the same time. The owner has his feelings on his shoulders. Needs to get over himself.
I think he could have used a more useful word, like the owner is frustrated. No need to call an owner of a building an a-hole. The guy agreed to leave with no problem.
I have been In the Hilltop ..low End Trashy. 3rd world Violent threats OFTEN..
No… the Cop wasn’t being rude at all. He was just handling the situation. And he was just throwing blame on the owner so he, the Cop, doesn’t look like the jerk…. And I would say that’s a good way to de-escalate the situation.
And I’m sure the owner is tired of all the homeless people hanging around his building causing issues. I just read about 102-year-old guy online…. in a wheelchair that is going to be fine because people keep spraying graffiti on his building and he’s not covering it up enough for the city. So yeah, the owners of properties are getting tired of being taken advantage of.
I think more explanation of Why he might have considered being "A" is needed. Anna In Ohio
