Its always sad to me to see another person a victim of this corruption we all once believed in. It boils my blood when people say, "well if they arrested and charged you YOU MUST have done SOMETHING!"
I know and so does James! He encounters this attitude every time he goes on a job interview or starts a dating relationship. I think he's resorted to including a blurb about his wrongful arrest and prosecution in his resume' and online dating profile now. I could be wrong tho
They will never apologize, as that is a legal admission of guilt. They violated your civil liberties, they assaulted you, and they filed fraudulent charges against you.

@Michael Brennan that's what James King was doing when they approached him and accosted him for no reason other than he matched an excessively broad description of the suspect and never identified themselves. Further they said they wore lanyards but James said he couldn't see the badges, besides from the photo I've seen of the two thug cops the badges on the lanyards they were wearing looked fake. So he probably thought they were street thugs who could project an air of authority because that's exactly what they looked like: street thugs
I asked, "When will I be Mirandized"?, the officer told me, You have NO rights!! When I told this to my supposed defense attorney. He said, "Oh, I doubt that"! I then pointed out that signs all around the area of the desk where I was standing, stated, the AREA WAS UNDER CAMERA SURVELLIANCE 24/7, I told the attorney to check the facility's TAPES!! I DOUBT he EVER did!!
I feel so bad for this young man, he was deprived not only of his Civil Rights but also of basic humanity ! I've always thought that police were a necessary Evil in a civilized society, not so much anymore ! I watch hundreds of videos and follow countless accounts of police committing criminal acts and using excessive force . It's really scary to think that "We the People" have quietly allowed the Police to run rampant over all our desires to be protected . No person should ever need to go to a police station to get an Officer Complaint form due to 'intimidation', all body cams should transmit to a cloud recorder so they can't be erased, all dash cams should be reviewed by Council Members weekly and all complaints should be acted on immediately ! Giving an Officer time off with pay is not punishment, it's a fishing trip !
Yep. Anarchy works a lot better - EVERYONE is armed, so criminals don't get much of a foothold and anyone stepping out of line in the general populous suddenly has a lot of well armed people saying "I wouldn't do that if I were you"!
I suppose I'm watching old CZcams videos but I'm guessing things have not changed. I'm from the UK I think we should make donations so we can fight tyranny. All auditors should donate. Everyone with a CZcams channel filming the police should form a union and collect donations to fight tyranny
I believe the officer’s names need to be said and made public one so they can be publicly shamed and two we as citizens know who to stay away and be aware of their violent behavior!
I hate the idea of plea deals. "This crime is so bad it's worth 75 years in prison, but if you just go along with it, 5 years will be fine." If it's worth 5 then you should be able to get your day in court and only risk 5.
No, there is not a series of "steps" leading to a police state. Police states are designed as such. All states are police states, what matters is the severity of the oppression.
Mr. King, I appreciate your willingness to describe and comment so extensively on the horrendous series of events that has not yet been acceptably resolved. Keep the faith!
Its up to the citizens to enforce laws against Law Enforcement Officers. Also, it is up to the citizens to enforce penalties and punishment onto Law Enforcement Officers. Same for Judges.
Time to bust the police unions apart, they are the ones that probably come up with these bazar laws to begin with. They think if police cant function with impunity, no one would want the job. They should only be allowed QI if ALL policies and procedures are followed, any miss step and they should not be allowed to hide behind it.
It has and will continue with all these bad piggy's That's the reason I stopped collecting them where you can hold them accountable for their actions This is why we used to vote them in like the sheriff now the city just oh will pay you. It doesn't matter what you do. We ain't got check your record. You're more than welcome to come on Inn. Violate your rights that much more.

The officers know how the law works. That is why they threw these bogus charges at this young man. The law needs to change to remove these perverse incentives.
They got a free pass ..kudos etc., one retired..just read that in comments.. THIS EXACTLY WHY THERE SHOULD NOT BE A DEATH PENALITY.. EVEN IF ONE INNOCENT MAN IS CHARGED..IT ISPL Q A ONE TOO MANY.
Either you didn't watch this video or your comprehension skills are severely lacking. Nothing happened to the cop and FBI agent. Why? Qualified Immunity Never charged and unable to be sued.
@@Uberragen21 Qualified Immunity really doesn't apply in this situation. The Government is using two Different legal principles against each other concerning a Federal Law and a Court decision and a jurisdictional issue concerning whether they acted as Federal or Local law enforcement.
@@HUBABUBA-il8fn says who? You? Me? I agree, don't misunderstand that i support the victim here, not government. But so far the courts have sided with government citing qualified immunity. So while we know the cops are wrong and need to pay up, it may never happen. I had a college professor say once, it's not what actually happened, it's what you can prove. OJ Simpson ring any bells?
It you are acquitted of all charges, how can you still not get government jobs? You are innocent until proven guilty. You are certainly innocent if a jury found you innocent.
There is no such thing as innocent until proven guilty. It is guilty until proven innocent. Even then the government never questions cops and there arrests.
I experienced a similar incident and as a victim can relate to his state of mind. This is not an isolated phenomenon, but a chronic problem in law enforcement. The laws need to be clear and uniform across the country.
I don't ever let one, let alone two questionable men approach me and I certainly don't let them get behind me. This guy was a kid at the time, well young adult (same thing), so he may not have been the best trained or been able to defend himself adequately. He may have also been too naive to see these criminals approaching and analyze the situation properly. I was _that young guy_ once and it ended badly for me. I learned and grew from the experience and now identify threats before they get too close. It has saved me a few times from robbery and assault. Sadly I got off easy compared to this kid, so yes, he would have been better off getting mugged by a dozen kids. Stay in shape boys. Remember the rules of Zombieland. Rule #1: Cardio Also rule of life, trust your instincts and pay attention to your surroundings. The police are not your friends. They are not necessarily your enemy, but they are _definitely_ not your friends.
Had to rewind it as soon as I realized that at around the 1:40 mark, when he's about to state how he realized that they weren't Muggers! If you pay careful attention to his facial expressions, his breathing, him raising his eyebrow, etc. You can clearly tell that even just by his eyebrow raise alone he's looking for a visual cue from those filming him as to rather or not he's staying within the guidelines by not saying anything in a way that jeopardizes his case or him possibly being sued for stating the obvious fact - Basically he struggles wanting to say that - " he ultimately realized that they were Tyrant's!" It just pains me knowing this guy (victim) literally is uncomfortable with having to struggle with saying anything but the obvious about the criminals responsible. SMDH
Their is video on line by bystanders he did nothing wrong bystanders called 911 that two men were beating a man to death he was beat bad and did NOTHING
If the prosecutor scores a plea bargain or a conviction, it is considered a victory on his record. The more victories they score, they better their record. Better records equal more job security, more job offers, and more promotions. The same is true for law enforcement.
Im very proud that you made a stand and fought for your rights! I was assaulted also after leaving church on 6/17/2016 they knocked my teeth out after throwing me from the passenger side of my daughter's car. They handcuffed me then tackled me ! It was t the worst night I'f my life. I still suffer from the situation, that the video was altered and it was corrupt from the beginning!!! I wish i could go to the supreme court with this but ive been to afraid! Bless you James
This is why we need *Vigil-Antes* it will let people like Politicians and Law enforcement to watch more of what they do, Knowing Lots of Vigil Antes are out there !
Hell fire yes lay the smack down on there candy arses every time they violate and abuse members of the public it's time we brought our own justice if there immunity protects them from beating and killing innocent people
Thank you IoJ for taking up this case! Qualified immunity HAS to be done away with. The abuse James endured pisses me off. All officers and court officials involved should be charged and tried for these crimes. Damn it! This pisses me off!
As a blind man, I have had my rights violated by government representatives on several occasions, my prayers and thoughts go with you, and may you succeed against such cowardice pukes
The accuser and prosecutor in any case risk NOTHING. The accused/defendant risk everything. Then there's no risk in proscuting or making allegations, its in human nature just to continue with the case/allegations because its all risk free.
The greatest defense against prosecutorial misconduct are intelligent and well informed jurors. The DA and prosecutors should be disbarred for misconduct.
WoW. Such open corruption . I would have lost my touch with reality when released. Went to my foot locker break out all my old combat fatigues, camouflaged my mug and super cleaned my 2 AR15s , two klocks and went on a manhunt. Everyone involved would be taken out then turn myself claiming PTSD which cause me to have flashback of being in iraq for 14 months. Sad.
I lived in NYC for about 5 years in the 80s. I was a frequent visitor to the Times Square area at all hours of the day and night. Every time I saw a uniformed cop standing around, I felt a sense of safety.
The one thing that should scare every citizen is that the prosecutor is in this up to their eye balls. Instead of seeing that n injustice wad done he or she doubled down n pushed forward.
"Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine in United States federal law that shields government officials from being sued for discretionary actions performed within their official capacity, unless their actions violated "clearly established" federal law or constitutional rights."
Charlie Belle the “clearly established” part of Graham analysis is construed in different ways. More often than not, it’s always tilted in favor for the cops. Hence, the majority of civil rights violators get away from being held accountable despite the obvious.
@@edwardmiessner6502 And if any of that were true, again, what does that have to do with federal police? Did this guy steal the bottles of liquor and cross state lines with them? Really now
@@vovin8132 No he didn't cross state lines and I agree the feds never should be involved with anything that's not strictly interstate or an offence against the Federal Government. The joint task force is only supposed to deal with violent fugitive felons. The fugitive never went further than 50 miles from Grand Rapids and the fugitive did not commit a violent crime. The home invasion was strictly an ordinary burglary. PS sorry for the late response CZcams failed to notify me! 🤦🤷
What I don't understand and never have is why is it illegal let alone a felony to fight back when someone who's trying to physically confine you against your will. Which is a trigger for your natural fight or flight response
The experience of being mistreated by the government leaves you with a long lasting PTSD. You devolve from being angry to being mistrustful and downright anti government/cop. They do as they will and you have little to no recourse. It's a hard smack in the face when you've lived your whole life indoctrinated in the fallacy of american freedom, rule of law, equality and justice for all.
You speak so well, you state many times the police in this case need to be held accountable. Start by publishing the names of the offending officers so WE THE PEOPLE can make sure they can't even work as a crossings guard. If you find a bad cop get him fired.
Guilty until proven innocent and even then have a record to follow you and imped your endeavors in life. The system is broken, qualified immunity should be abolished and LEO's held accountable.
What's being choked into unconsciousness worth? I say $10m plus legal, counseling, med.cost + $5m to his family for their strong support. Just my 2cents.
Gosh, this is such an injustice. I hope you guys win! I feel that we citizens will not have our full Constitutional rights if you don't get the Supreme court change their previous ruling! I'm glad that you have taken this case this far. Even though the Constitution has the best human rights laws, this paper is not being interpreted correctly by the former Supreme Court.
I feel James Pain and I too have experienced the type of corruption you have espoused. Perhaps many of the Bad Players will eventually be dealt with and meet their fate with TRUE JUSTICE. What about Title 18 subsection 242 USC as his rights were Violated?
Hard to do when the DOJ protects their own. Contrast with Bryce Masters who was tased for 23 seconds into cardiac arrest while he was under arrest then dropped on the kerb face first. The DOJ went after the suburban cop who did this because the kid's dad was a narc who was owed favors from the FBI
The most disappointing part of the whole story to me is the officers who went around to witnesses and ordered them to erase their footage, they are as guilty as the guys who did this. You clearly cannot trust law enforcement. Protect and serve themselves. They are not your friend and they are not here to help you.
Ah, but some monsters are very pretty and are not monsters at first sight - still other monsters are hideous to look upon, and slso the kindest, most generous and loving creatures all the same! Careful thought before you kill - because you can't take it back. Merely looking monstrous makes not a monster - being monstrous makes a monster.
For this institute for just to function and try to right this wrong for this person must require tons of legal fees. No? Yes?

When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. I have a similar case. I was given 4 public defenders who ALL ended up withdrawing. None of them were willing to stand against the local government who included all of the top officials. The Mayor, Chief of Police, Assistant Chief of Police, Sheriff, Chief Deputy Sheriff, State's Attorney, 1 Police Lt, 2 Sargents, 2 judges, plus many more. I was given a bench trial is how I was beat. I was not given the opportunity of a jury trial. I had to defend myself because the public defenders felt like prosecutors. My defense was rock solid, yet the judge couldn't wait to find me guilty. My appeal runs out in 2 weeks. I have no idea how to file an appeal and I have no money, not that any attorney in this town would be willing to help me anyways. I feel very defeated. This was covered up. None of you know my name or my story yet I have published it on my channel. The government refuses to admit their wrongs and are willing to criminalize innocent citizens in order to avoid accountability. I have lost ALL faith in the government. I have no option left but to take matters into my own hands. Give me liberty or give me death! If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. Police need to be set straight. They are out of control and not held accountable. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!!
Ok……. You’re being an asshole. This situation is not a question of privilege. By the sounds of it, your situation you shouldn’t have been treated the way you were treated either. But never think of this situation as “equality”. Both of you should be treated fairly. The fact that instead of standing united with another victim of police brutality you’re playing the race card……..you’re being an asshole.
Here in Maine a few years back a Hancock county sheriff hit a deer while driving 105 in a cruiser. No he wasn't heading to a crime scene. He was on his way back from one. It was early in the morning and he wanted to go home. Long story made short. The deputy was never charged with anything and the taxpayers paid for the cruiser. The deputy is still employed by the county but it's all good. You know because when he's not breaking the law he is enforcing it.
The prosecutor/district attorney also needs to be investigated for the prosecution of this young man.

I agree. There's nothing wrong with admitting your wrong.
Qualified immunity has to be abolished. Who are these public tyrants?
They are the people you hired

@@monfrig6959 No one hired them, they steal our money with violence. They're mercenary thieves.
NO GOD DAMN EMPLOYEE WILL LIVE IF THEY THINK THEY CAN PLAY DOMESTIC TERRORIST AND MAKE ME SUFFER THEIR TREASON, THEY ALL WILL BE EXECUTED, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!
WE WILL KILL THEM!
And you should also stop collectively dismantling the legal protections of your 2nd & 4th Amendments. Your modern police forces are part of the standing armies it is supposed to protect against.
Its always sad to me to see another person a victim of this corruption we all once believed in. It boils my blood when people say, "well if they arrested and charged you YOU MUST have done SOMETHING!"
I know and so does James! He encounters this attitude every time he goes on a job interview or starts a dating relationship. I think he's resorted to including a blurb about his wrongful arrest and prosecution in his resume' and online dating profile now. I could be wrong tho
No more qualified immunity, police unions, or internal investigations.
“All men having power ought to be distrusted to a certain degree” - James Madison
EXACTLY
The more power that they hold, the more so that they should be distrusted.
FBI is a terrorist organization IMHO.
Low info lemmings will say this is the exception, however, this is the norm. Pigs are evil.
Deranged words from a Deranged man
They will never apologize, as that is a legal admission of guilt. They violated your civil liberties, they assaulted you, and they filed fraudulent charges against you.
You seem like a good kid, and this sort of thing should NEVER have happened to you. I hope they are fired, and put in jail. I also hope you win a civil suit against them. Good luck!
I wish the cops that did this to end up in a ditch. They ruined this mans life. And all you want is jail. You to will be held accountable for the actions you support.
And not one damn thing will ever happen these cops in the meantime have violated other peoples civil rights and they will continue to do so
If your lawyer wants you to plead out. Fire him.
I went through the same situation where my lawyer wanted me to plead I fired his azz and took over my own case it happened in 2012 and I won in 2014 I came to be my own counsel and investigator
Randy Anderson bet that took some time and money and more.

Yes it does.
U can foia all their records.
U really don’t need a lawyer
Film the police
@@electrichellion5946 nope I beat the 5 felony charges and ended up with 1 misdemeanor battery. No record still had to pay probation 3 months and my bond took care of all fees
Legally he must tell you the offer that the shit prosecuter gave. If he stresses that you take it. Find another
Lady justice may be blind but she sure can smell money.
Lady Justice is only "blind" to the hypocrisy in turning a blind eye to injustice committed by government.
Oh come on, everybody knows if you're not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about........
Unless there's a cop near you.
@Michael Brennan oh the state of blissful ignorance. My least favorite state. It's expensive to live there it cost all your dignity.
Michael Brennan Don’t worry. You’ll fit a description one of these days.
@Michael Brennan that's what James King was doing when they approached him and accosted him for no reason other than he matched an excessively broad description of the suspect and never identified themselves. Further they said they wore lanyards but James said he couldn't see the badges, besides from the photo I've seen of the two thug cops the badges on the lanyards they were wearing looked fake. So he probably thought they were street thugs who could project an air of authority because that's exactly what they looked like: street thugs
@Michael Brennan Keep living...
The Police did this to me too ,
James . They broke the Law...
and then charged ME for crimes !
Me, too!
I asked, "When will I be Mirandized"?, the officer told me, You have NO rights!! When I told this to my supposed defense attorney. He said, "Oh, I doubt that"! I then pointed out that signs all around the area of the desk where I was standing, stated, the AREA WAS UNDER CAMERA SURVELLIANCE 24/7, I told the attorney to check the facility's TAPES!! I DOUBT he EVER did!!
I now believe the worst gangs in America these days are police and their departments.
More like mafia
A guilty plea kills all known and unknown defenses. I applaud this man for not taking a plea.
An apology would have been an admission of guilt, and police are never going to do that.
I feel so bad for this young man, he was deprived not only of his Civil Rights but also of basic humanity ! I've always thought that police were a necessary Evil in a civilized society, not so much anymore ! I watch hundreds of videos and follow countless accounts of police committing criminal acts and using excessive force . It's really scary to think that "We the People" have quietly allowed the Police to run rampant over all our desires to be protected . No person should ever need to go to a police station to get an Officer Complaint form due to 'intimidation', all body cams should transmit to a cloud recorder so they can't be erased, all dash cams should be reviewed by Council Members weekly and all complaints should be acted on immediately ! Giving an Officer time off with pay is not punishment, it's a fishing trip !
Yep. Anarchy works a lot better - EVERYONE is armed, so criminals don't get much of a foothold and anyone stepping out of line in the general populous suddenly has a lot of well armed people saying "I wouldn't do that if I were you"!
I suppose I'm watching old CZcams videos but I'm guessing things have not changed. I'm from the UK I think we should make donations so we can fight tyranny. All auditors should donate. Everyone with a CZcams channel filming the police should form a union and collect donations to fight tyranny
I believe the officer’s names need to be said and made public one so they can be publicly shamed and two we as citizens know who to stay away and be aware of their violent behavior!
I hate the idea of plea deals. "This crime is so bad it's worth 75 years in prison, but if you just go along with it, 5 years will be fine." If it's worth 5 then you should be able to get your day in court and only risk 5.
The system is broken for sure. When you see innocent people go away for 25-40 and actual killers get a 5-10 plea it makes no sense.
Qualified immunity is another step toward a police state, along with all the DHS crap.
No, there is not a series of "steps" leading to a police state. Police states are designed as such. All states are police states, what matters is the severity of the oppression.
Mr. King, I appreciate your willingness to describe and comment so extensively on the horrendous series of events that has not yet been acceptably resolved. Keep the faith!
everyone should be accountable for their actions. that's what makes it a civil society.
Christopher J we have a Sick society. Very sick humans raised with no care for others at all. .
They are out of control.
czcams.com/video/FzEy-cAucBY/video.html
this could be the most important thing to address the problems with policing.
So the FBI was called in to investigate someone stealing empty soda cans? Doesn't sound legit.
The guy who stole the empty coke cans invaded someone's house to steal bottles of liquor. The empties were lagniappe.
Great vid ,very informative👍👍. Good man for standing up to the charges, fighting like Rocky. Need more lawyers like this Law Firm. Salute. 👊
Its up to the citizens to enforce laws against Law Enforcement Officers. Also, it is up to the citizens to enforce penalties and punishment onto Law Enforcement Officers. Same for Judges.
@John Graham Hi john, I've seen your vids. Oh How? Second Amendment!
@John Graham - the 2nd amendment is the ultimate example. But the affected should pursue other means first.
Time to bust the police unions apart, they are the ones that probably come up with these bazar laws to begin with. They think if police cant function with impunity, no one would want the job. They should only be allowed QI if ALL policies and procedures are followed, any miss step and they should not be allowed to hide behind it.
It's a stacked game and the house always wins. The time is rapidly approaching where the tree of freedom and liberty will need to lose a few branches!
This can happen to you too.
Likely end up with two dead agents if they tried this to me on the street.
It has and will continue with all these bad piggy's That's the reason I stopped collecting them where you can hold them accountable for their actions This is why we used to vote them in like the sheriff now the city just oh will pay you. It doesn't matter what you do. We ain't got check your record. You're more than welcome to come on Inn. Violate your rights that much more. I have GOD-given RIGHTS AND These Piggies like stomping all over your rights.
It has
Mark Letros I’m sorry that a similar incident happened to you. To many incidents like this happen daily. “Every cop is a criminal “ Rolling Stones.
Will. Will happen to you, sooner or later.
When there is no legal way to get justice,justice will be found for those deserving souls by other means.
Exactly. I can see vigilantes are going to start popping up everywhere and start policing their own areas. Cos the filth cannot be trusted!
Well, theres always the Dirty Harry way? If someone, cop or not did this to me, Id serve my own justice.
Thank you for taking on this case, IJ!!!💐💐💐 I'm so thrilled to hear about this new project on Immunity & Accountability. I think every case you've worked is important, but this brings new meaning to the word. There is no more urgent issue than this. It effects every citizen in every community, every state, every day. This won't just help James, this case matters to all of us!
James, I'm praying for you!🙏 You will find your person, and Google will just be proof of the struggle you've overcome and battle you've taken on. The WRONG you fought to RIGHT! You & IJ have got this, and we're with you! Stay strong💪 and keep fighting! 💗💗💗
The officers know how the law works. That is why they threw these bogus charges at this young man. The law needs to change to remove these perverse incentives.
Ruining young men's lives.... one at a time.
Ruining all lives, one at a time.
Conditioning
And this is why the Federal Government and the civilian side should be separated, like church and state.
Never trust our government. They care nothing for us. Those cops need to get what they gave that poor young man. Qualified immunity has to go.
I hope that the Federal Officer and Detective got thrown in prison after he was acquitted
Well of course they didn't. They probably a promotion.
They got a free pass ..kudos etc., one retired..just read that in comments.. THIS EXACTLY WHY THERE SHOULD NOT BE A DEATH PENALITY.. EVEN IF ONE INNOCENT MAN IS CHARGED..IT ISPL
Q A ONE TOO MANY.
Either you didn't watch this video or your comprehension skills are severely lacking.
Nothing happened to the cop and FBI agent. Why?
Qualified Immunity
Never charged and unable to be sued.
@@Uberragen21 Qualified Immunity really doesn't apply in this situation. The Government is using two Different legal principles against each other concerning a Federal Law and a Court decision and a jurisdictional issue concerning whether they acted as Federal or Local law enforcement.
@@HUBABUBA-il8fn says who? You? Me? I agree, don't misunderstand that i support the victim here, not government.
But so far the courts have sided with government citing qualified immunity. So while we know the cops are wrong and need to pay up, it may never happen.
I had a college professor say once, it's not what actually happened, it's what you can prove. OJ Simpson ring any bells?
It you are acquitted of all charges, how can you still not get government jobs? You are innocent until proven guilty. You are certainly innocent if a jury found you innocent.
Curt D Yoo can still get a government job you just have to have your paperwork
The arrest record does not go away unless you get it specifically expunged.
in the US you can't be found "innocent", only not guilty.
The government will never let go of all the info they collect on you.
There is no such thing as innocent until proven guilty. It is guilty until proven innocent. Even then the government never questions cops and there arrests.
Eventually citizens will have enough of fearing the government and Law enforcement.
Wow James, my heart goes out to you! That could easily have been anybody in this comment section. I pray you get justice, soon.
It is sedition - end of story
THE DEATH PENALTY STILL STANDS . TOO BAD WE CAN NOT HANG THEM . LEAD POISONING AT HIGH VELOCITY WILL WORK.
And cops cant figure out why almost everybody is sick of these thugs in uniform.
I experienced a similar incident and as a victim can relate to his state of mind. This is not an isolated phenomenon, but a chronic problem in law enforcement. The laws need to be clear and uniform across the country.
I don't ever let one, let alone two questionable men approach me and I certainly don't let them get behind me. This guy was a kid at the time, well young adult (same thing), so he may not have been the best trained or been able to defend himself adequately. He may have also been too naive to see these criminals approaching and analyze the situation properly.
I was _that young guy_ once and it ended badly for me. I learned and grew from the experience and now identify threats before they get too close. It has saved me a few times from robbery and assault. Sadly I got off easy compared to this kid, so yes, he would have been better off getting mugged by a dozen kids.
Stay in shape boys. Remember the rules of Zombieland.
Rule #1: Cardio
Also rule of life, trust your instincts and pay attention to your surroundings. The police are not your friends. They are not necessarily your enemy, but they are _definitely_ not your friends.
Had to rewind it as soon as I realized that at around the 1:40 mark, when he's about to state how he realized that they weren't Muggers! If you pay careful attention to his facial expressions, his breathing, him raising his eyebrow, etc. You can clearly tell that even just by his eyebrow raise alone he's looking for a visual cue from those filming him as to rather or not he's staying within the guidelines by not saying anything in a way that jeopardizes his case or him possibly being sued for stating the obvious fact - Basically he struggles wanting to say that - " he ultimately realized that they were Tyrant's!" It just pains me knowing this guy (victim) literally is uncomfortable with having to struggle with saying anything but the obvious about the criminals responsible. SMDH
Their is video on line by bystanders he did nothing wrong bystanders called 911 that two men were beating a man to death he was beat bad and did NOTHING
If the prosecutor scores a plea bargain or a conviction, it is considered a victory on his record. The more victories they score, they better their record. Better records equal more job security, more job offers, and more promotions. The same is true for law enforcement.
yes very true. You have to be. one sick fuck knowing you got a job promotion ruining peoples lives and caging them like animals
And that's why there are so many innocent people languishing in prison
This is absolutely terrifying.
Im very proud that you made a stand and fought for your rights! I was assaulted also after leaving church on 6/17/2016 they knocked my teeth out after throwing me from the passenger side of my daughter's car. They handcuffed me then tackled me ! It was t the worst night I'f my life. I still suffer from the situation, that the video was altered and it was corrupt from the beginning!!! I wish i could go to the supreme court with this but ive been to afraid! Bless you James
INFURIATING!
This is why we need *Vigil-Antes* it will let people like Politicians and Law enforcement to watch more of what they do, Knowing Lots of Vigil Antes are out there !
Yes sir ! Correct
Hell fire yes lay the smack down on there candy arses every time they violate and abuse members of the public it's time we brought our own justice if there immunity protects them from beating and killing innocent people
Don't forget to recruit from across the political spectrum from AntiFa on the left to the citizens' militias and 2A people on the right
Thank you IoJ for taking up this case! Qualified immunity HAS to be done away with. The abuse James endured pisses me off. All officers and court officials involved should be charged and tried for these crimes. Damn it! This pisses me off!
Why are names of those that violated James King's rights not named in this video? They deserve to be exposed for what they are.
If he named them he might spoil his case
We need to publically shame the officers and make them social pariahs
Yeah by cutting there throat and hanging there bodys from the nearest lamp pole with a note that says all cops with hang together
Why just those pigs? They are ALL corrupted and stink!
Protecting and serving........ even if it kills you.
Back Pack Hack Harassing and collecting more like it.
As a blind man, I have had my rights violated by government representatives on several occasions, my prayers and thoughts go with you, and may you succeed against such cowardice pukes

The accuser and prosecutor in any case risk NOTHING. The accused/defendant risk everything. Then there's no risk in proscuting or making allegations, its in human nature just to continue with the case/allegations because its all risk free.
The greatest defense against prosecutorial misconduct are intelligent and well informed jurors.
The DA and prosecutors should be disbarred for misconduct.
WoW. Such open corruption . I would have lost my touch with reality when released. Went to my foot locker break out all my old combat fatigues, camouflaged my mug and super cleaned my 2 AR15s , two klocks and went on a manhunt. Everyone involved would be taken out then turn myself claiming PTSD which cause me to have flashback of being in iraq for 14 months. Sad.
I lived in NYC for about 5 years in the 80s. I was a frequent visitor to the Times Square area at all hours of the day and night. Every time I saw a uniformed cop standing around, I felt a sense of safety.
They may have their immunity now but there will be a reckoning. Tell the Father you were just doing your job. Vengeance is his. Good luck.
Such a quaint superstitious notion. The elite want you to believe in supernatural sky daddies meting out justice. Sucker!
@@NeverTalkToCops1 Go tell your pond slime ancestors that! LOL!
Karma is a bitch. I won’t shed a tear if either one of these cops is killed in the line of duty. Fuk them.
The one thing that should scare every citizen is that the prosecutor is in this up to their eye balls. Instead of seeing that n injustice wad done he or she doubled down n pushed forward.
"Qualified immunity is a legal doctrine in United States federal law that shields government officials from being sued for discretionary actions performed within their official capacity, unless their actions violated "clearly established" federal law or constitutional rights."
Charlie Belle the “clearly established” part of Graham analysis is construed in different ways. More often than not, it’s always tilted in favor for the cops. Hence, the majority of civil rights violators get away from being held accountable despite the obvious.
This has come full circle from the revolution. The kings men had all power over his subjects. We are back to that time.
So... what was a federal task force doing investigating some guy who allegedly stole some aluminum cans?
He also stole some bottles of liquor and invaded someone's house to do it
@@edwardmiessner6502 And if any of that were true, again, what does that have to do with federal police? Did this guy steal the bottles of liquor and cross state lines with them? Really now
@@vovin8132 No he didn't cross state lines and I agree the feds never should be involved with anything that's not strictly interstate or an offence against the Federal Government. The joint task force is only supposed to deal with violent fugitive felons. The fugitive never went further than 50 miles from Grand Rapids and the fugitive did not commit a violent crime. The home invasion was strictly an ordinary burglary.
PS sorry for the late response CZcams failed to notify me! 🤦🤷
What I don't understand and never have is why is it illegal let alone a felony to fight back when someone who's trying to physically confine you against your will. Which is a trigger for your natural fight or flight response
It's simple never trust the law enforcement. They are taught to lie, beat and kill. Deescalation is definitely not taught.
I certainly hope we be updated on this case!! Please!! I am praying for you James an your awesome legal team!!
The experience of being mistreated by the government leaves you with a long lasting PTSD. You devolve from being angry to being mistrustful and downright anti government/cop. They do as they will and you have little to no recourse. It's a hard smack in the face when you've lived your whole life indoctrinated in the fallacy of american freedom, rule of law, equality and justice for all.
“Qualified Immunity” = no accountability for TYRANTS
Almost killed a young man for empty cans and a bottle of liquor. Just sick.
And the real culprit invaded someone's house for such meagre "rewards"!
You speak so well, you state many times the police in this case need to be held accountable. Start by publishing the names of the offending officers so WE THE PEOPLE can make sure they can't even work as a crossings guard. If you find a bad cop get him fired.
Guilty until proven innocent and even then have a record to follow you and imped your endeavors in life. The system is broken, qualified immunity should be abolished and LEO's held accountable.
Sounds like a million or two is coming his way.
I certainly hope so.
It still won't undo the tolls it's taken on him. You can tell by the way he talks he likely suffers from at least some PTSD symptoms. 😭
What's being choked into unconsciousness worth? I say $10m plus legal, counseling, med.cost + $5m to his family for their strong support. Just my 2cents.
@@CBDav hope so
and the people get punished. take it from law enforcement pension plan
i totally agree with James
This is why prosecutors need to be held accountable and need to lose their implied immunity.
Gosh, this is such an injustice. I hope you guys win! I feel that we citizens will not have our full Constitutional rights if you don't get the Supreme court change their previous ruling! I'm glad that you have taken this case this far. Even though the Constitution has the best human rights laws, this paper is not being interpreted correctly by the former Supreme Court.
I feel James Pain and I too have experienced the type of corruption you have espoused. Perhaps many of the Bad Players will eventually be dealt with and meet their fate with TRUE JUSTICE. What about Title 18 subsection 242 USC as his rights were Violated?
Hard to do when the DOJ protects their own. Contrast with Bryce Masters who was tased for 23 seconds into cardiac arrest while he was under arrest then dropped on the kerb face first. The DOJ went after the suburban cop who did this because the kid's dad was a narc who was owed favors from the FBI
The most disappointing part of the whole story to me is the officers who went around to witnesses and ordered them to erase their footage, they are as guilty as the guys who did this. You clearly cannot trust law enforcement. Protect and serve themselves. They are not your friend and they are not here to help you.
Even in a third world country this hardly happens to a totaly innocent person.
I work in Corrections and can attest to this . Their are many , many more people incarcerated wrongly for years .
It's okay to kill monsters.
Ah, but some monsters are very pretty and are not monsters at first sight - still other monsters are hideous to look upon, and slso the kindest, most generous and loving creatures all the same! Careful thought before you kill - because you can't take it back. Merely looking monstrous makes not a monster - being monstrous makes a monster.
You're so right. There's a special place for them. It's called HELL
For this institute for just to function and try to right this wrong for this person must require tons of legal fees. No? Yes? You should put a little not under your category giving several different ways to make a donation for this cause. i.e. direct snail mail with check made out to institute. 2. patreon or PayPal, repetitive donation where a person could make a small donation monthly, etc. Don't you think that would be a good idea?
@GKeeper316 Not true. They are a non-profit and they do take donations. They take all the cases they litigate as "pro bono". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Justice

I've been forced to take a plea or sit in jail while I wait for a court date. So this man is a good man and I give him props for fighting and not pleading out!
And nothing will change unless we the people change it! We are finally seeing what the police state is doing to our citizens. Catch everything on camera if you can safely!
The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case on April 1, 2020
Hang in there son for the ALMIGHTY is even right now dealing with this issue , God knows. 👍 God bless you FOREVER. In Christ pray I. Selah
What sort of god would let this abuse continue? Answer: An Imaginary God. Just get out with your superstitious nonsense.
Perfect example of TYRANTS
At least you had support in all this. I was and I still am dealing with the system. it's been 35 years
I know how to make it stop. They crawl out of the woodwork and find us where we live, flip the script.
the Declaration of Independence comes to mind.... something about trees, patriots, and liberty....
exactly ...
and tyrants....
When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. I have a similar case. I was given 4 public defenders who ALL ended up withdrawing. None of them were willing to stand against the local government who included all of the top officials. The Mayor, Chief of Police, Assistant Chief of Police, Sheriff, Chief Deputy Sheriff, State's Attorney, 1 Police Lt, 2 Sargents, 2 judges, plus many more. I was given a bench trial is how I was beat. I was not given the opportunity of a jury trial. I had to defend myself because the public defenders felt like prosecutors. My defense was rock solid, yet the judge couldn't wait to find me guilty. My appeal runs out in 2 weeks. I have no idea how to file an appeal and I have no money, not that any attorney in this town would be willing to help me anyways. I feel very defeated. This was covered up. None of you know my name or my story yet I have published it on my channel. The government refuses to admit their wrongs and are willing to criminalize innocent citizens in order to avoid accountability. I have lost ALL faith in the government. I have no option left but to take matters into my own hands. Give me liberty or give me death! If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. Police need to be set straight. They are out of control and not held accountable. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!!
Ok……. You’re being an asshole. This situation is not a question of privilege. By the sounds of it, your situation you shouldn’t have been treated the way you were treated either. But never think of this situation as “equality”. Both of you should be treated fairly. The fact that instead of standing united with another victim of police brutality you’re playing the race card……..you’re being an asshole.
Here in Maine a few years back a Hancock county sheriff hit a deer while driving 105 in a cruiser. No he wasn't heading to a crime scene. He was on his way back from one. It was early in the morning and he wanted to go home. Long story made short. The deputy was never charged with anything and the taxpayers paid for the cruiser. The deputy is still employed by the county but it's all good. You know because when he's not breaking the law he is enforcing it.
