So ... citizens are responsible for any injuries that indirectly occur to police, but police are not responsible for injuries they directly inflict upon citizens. Unbelievable.
Yup, and if you say otherwise you’re a commie, socialist, hyuk hyuk hyuk
Welcome to the NWO.
Incorrect.
Police have rules about use of force and can get in trouble if they go beyond the use of force needed.
Like if they dislocate your shoulder or break your arm and that use of force was found to be above what was needed, then yes they can face charges for it.
You really need to read up on things instead of assuming things or just hearing something and believing it to be true.
Many police officers have been arrested and sued or fired and sued because they went above the use of force needed.
@@lordvika2526countless numbers of police have inflicted unnecessary bodily injury on suspects without any recourse.
What a naive individual.
@@lordvika2526oh no if they use excessive force they get paid leave😢
I realize it’s the law, but I can’t imagine wanting to use violence against someone for not having a light on his bike.
Well, you are likely a normal, well adjusted and decent human being. They would never hire you to be a cop.
Welcome to police state
Well, we have all the facts. Because he was refusing to pull over, I assumed he had a warrant out for his arrest. Did you ever see that video of the suspected murderer who called the cops over cold fries?
its about taxation. these cops are not there for your protection. they are tax collectors for their department/governing body. They also do nothing productive the whole day, so they feel justified spending massive tax payer money for ambulances to follow up their excessive authoritarianism. immensely unprofessional and an example for why many police officers are currently a welfare program for those of low intellect and awareness, capable of only being a bully.
@@TijuanabillThey would hire them and parade them around as the moral image meanwhile hire people that grew up in a an age of war/militarization to go out acting like everyone without a badge is a potential “terrorist”
Sorry, but escalating "no light on a bicycle" to a violent physical assault and threatening a mauling by a dog is absolutely beyond the pale. I don't care what the law says. This is absolutely INSANE. What are we even doing in this country anymore?!?
It wouldn't have come to this if he'd just done what he was asked, I wholeheartedly disagree with a felony charge, but come on man... The whole time the cop was talking to him as he was fleeing telling him WHY he was being asked stop. By refusing to do so he only put everyone in danger, yes, even on a bike because they have a job and a duty to stop him. His refusal to stop creates a situation where both himself and the officers can get hurt, which is negligent and incredibly irresponsible. If he just stopped the most likely case is that he gets a citation which he can contest in court, worst case is he takes the city PD to court for police misconduct and comes out of it tens to hundreds of thousands richer. The worst outcome by refusing is that is he, or the officer suffers serious bodily harm/injuries or worse.
This situation he's in sucks, I don't think the felony charge should even be possible, but this is his own damn fault. People going on saying things like "Thank god the officers stopped this criminal." fail to realize that it's a part of the job, same as things like domestic calls, public disturbance, or similar. There are things they HAVE to do that frankly they don't want to, this is one of them. Every law and ordinance has to be followed... Even if some of them are stupid, they don't make the laws, they just enforce and uphold them, albeit poorly in this case in my opinion. I hope the Lacrosse PD chooses to drop the felony charge, and if not I hope this guy gets proper legal representation to fight that charge because it's extremely unreasonable, and while a court in the past may have ruled in favor of the officers on similar cases, the keyword is 'similar', and most judges I'd wager would find the severity of his crimes don't warrant a felony charge.
@@ThatPinkOtterHe put everyone in danger by not stopping?? What danger? Seriously, this is why the world laughs at America.
While yes he should stop the road was fucking empty like wuuuut????
It makes me think back to my childhood. We never had lights on our bikes. Would they have tackled a 10 year old his bike especially if he was scared and confused just trying to get home. Would a 10 y/o face felonies for the same reason as this guy? Knowing the police these days the answer is yes.
@@ThatPinkOtter so a non violent crime requires violence?
Its funny how the cops went out of their way to prove his thoughts of cops was accurate.
They protected and served the SHIT out of this dude
Oof
Refusal to stop - it only makes sense to refuse if they have something criminal to hide. The moment they ‘run’, which is what this guy did- an Officer is OBLIGATED to pursue and investigate, for good reason.
This guy ‘looks’ like he’s harmless but I can guarantee if he was in a darker hoodie with darker skin more people would see him as a threat. Appearances don’t matter, he ran from police!
Know the laws. There are good reasons they exist.

Only in America can police escalate a broken light to a felony arrest. Absolutely ridiculous.
Technically the bike rider escalated it.
@@chazz0418umm no…not having a tail light on a bike is a minor law, he was riding down the sidewalk on a well-lit road, he clearly posed absolutely zero danger to anyone, the officers were the ones who chose to engage for no reason, he had already stated that he was going home and doesn’t trust cops, to which they proceed to prove him right by assaulting him to the ground over a fucking bicycle tail light, let that sink in, they said he was just going to give him a warning, they could’ve just as easily chosen to escort him to his home to make sure he was safe, or they could’ve just told him that he should be careful and let him carry on his way, officers are supposed to DE-ESCALATE THE SITUATION, not tackle a young man off his bicycle for not having a tail light and the give him a felony charge
@@knightmarecx2069 that's not how it works. Guy should have just stopped when given the many opportunities. No different than a car not pulling over for a broken tail light. In that case you could also end up with a felony charge too. Moral of the story, stop for the police, fight in court not the streets.
@@chazz0418you sound like you would like living in an authoritarian country 😂
@@knightmarecx2069 fascinating world you live in. If I tell cops I'm on my way home and don't trust them I become immune to all laws. The citizens of that town voted for an ordinance requiring bikes to have lights. This guy was in violation. If he weren't a moron, he would've gotten a warning, walked his bike home, and bought a light for it later. End of story. You can't just not follow local laws and not stop for police because you are on your way home.
There must be no crimes in that area if several police are pursuing a cyclist without a light as though he's 'America's Most Wanted'
The cop said it himself (this is as good as it gets)
Dude, he should have stopped. He made it worse than it should have. Yall are being petty now.
@@Name-jw4sjgo lick boots elsewhere this used to be a free country where people valued individual liberty.
@@patrickday4206 What are you talking about? You against laws? Going to work, I have almost hit a few bicyclists as they were not seen until I got close b/c of no lights. This is a safety for the bicyclist and the people around the person.
@@billoconnell1427 It is a safety issue, and evidently so is tackling a cyclist. He initially wanted to give him a warning. They were talking while following him. He could have said that he only wanted to give a warning for the light. Instead, this is how the light was first mentioned: "Ya ain't gonna win buddy, there's more cars coming." "What do you guys even want?" "It's just the light, you dumb idiot. You wanna get bit? I'll send them out right now (dogs)"
"It's just a bike light" followed by immediately saying that'll he will release the damn dog. Bro wtf.
@jcdenton4110 The difference is is that it is a bicycle on a sidewalk, not a four thousand pound mechanical missle going 50 down the road. Kinda a different situation

Officers get a C+ for arbitrarily ruining a man’s life for riding a bike? Yeah no
This yapper loves his own voice and is a bootlicker
When an officer makes a legal traffic stop you must stop. The felony resisting was 100% the fault of the accused.
"what are you in for?"
"i rode a bike at night without a light"
"...
...how are you not in solitary?"
The officer threatened to sick his dog on this guy. He was already willing to excessively use force from the beginning because of his ego
Yup there was another incident recently where a dog was let into a home and the officer was in a lot of trouble for it.
That’s what happens when u don’t stop. Stop and u won’t have any issues. Simple really
@@SuperNovaHeights_ This is what happens when the far right wingers continue to lick boots. We end up with a fascist police state where conservatives only realize the issue when they are the ones being chewed on by a police dog or shot at.
@@SuperNovaHeights_ Which department you work for?
@@SuperNovaHeights_if only it was that simple
"You're obstructing me on my way home."
LOL, love it. 🤣
Giving the officers a C+ was a little too generous. Tackling a man off his bike is a pretty dismal move. As someone who broke his arm falling off his bike, I can attest to how dangerous that type of strategy is to all parties involved. I have a hard time believing that less violent strategies were unavailable. Although officers are not technically legally required to use the least violent and intrusive means to apprehend a fleeing suspect, it would’ve behooved them to use common sense and exercise better judgment.
Not just that but the cop threatened the dude saying he would release his dog on him. A mauling doesn't seem anywhere near the level of force needed to get the guy to stop lol.
Absolutely correct! Not to mention that the underlying offense was a missing headlight. Completely unworthy of such heavy, handed brutish tactics.
Yeah, he was literally going home. Just follow him home. And get him there. He cant bike forever.
Yo tbn me rompi el btazo por eso, y fue un ladron que me intentó asaltar.
Man. Good thing these cops were there to save the day from such a danger to the neighborhood. Absolutely ridiculous. They still can't puzzle out why we hate them.

Idk if threatening a guy by saying your gonna release your dog on him if he doesn’t stop is exactly “professional and respectful”
If someone threatened their dog on me, I’d consider getting out of there as fast as bikely possible.
It's called a fair warning
@@TheDogGoesWoof69 versus NOT releasing the dog at all. The dog is only to be used in life threatening situations. There was no danger to the cops except each other or gravity!
Fairly sure that wasn’t the first warning.
@@robv5834 That's right Your Honour, I'm _pretty_ sure!!!
Alternate universe:
"Hey man, get a bike light ok?"
*drives away*
which would do nothing since the guy wouldn’t have any reason to get a bike light. that’s why fix-it tickets exist, and that’s all that it had to be if the guy didn’t take off
they should also inform that its law and give the number to it so the person can check it out themselves. but other than that i 100% agree
Does anyone value liberty in this country Does anyone understand what it means? I bet you sorry people would all wear a pink hat with a feather in it on Fridays if the made it a law. Probably even call in macaroni 😂

Charging him for assault is bizarre. There was no justice that day and the police officers need to rethink what it is they are there for.
If the judge finds there was no probable cause, it will get tossed.
@@KendraAndTheLawif it's not just it's not law. Saint Augustine said that we shouldn't follow laws that don't have a moral obligation to do

I lost it.
Imagine being willing to sic a dog on someone for a petty victimless crime like a bike light being out. Policing in America is wild and out of touch with reality and the crazy part is American citizens are desensitized to this absurd level of aggression and violence from the people meant to protect them.
This wasn’t for the bike light specifically, but rather resisting arrest. While the threat is less commonly directed at someone actively fleeing on a bike, it’s more common when trying to detain a fleeing suspect especially on foot
Siced the dog because he ran. Shitty law they were probably using to check him for drugs, weapons, warrants, etc. Shitty but which laws do you want cops to enforce and which ones not to? Why even have a law then? Work to get the law taken down, cant just choose which laws to ignore
Cops were never meant to protect you.
This cop keeps claiming this kids parents should be very disappointed in him....I think any parents of cops that show no humanity in doing their job and care more about a bike light infraction than the ramifications to a young man...should be the disappointed ones.
@@chrisd2p2 I choose to ignore specific laws all the time. I just sometimes suffer the consequences. So yes you can ignore them.
Oh my GOD!! Get that SERIOUS criminal off the streets! No bike light! He needs to be on death row! Never mind ALL the other SERIOUS crimes, that they are ignoring calls to.
"There's no tyranny like petty tyranny." - Patrick Jane, The Mentalist
This highlights the issue raised by a study that I read about 20 years ago that found that based on the number of laws, most citizens are violating "the law" every day, and that the number of things that are illegal, directly or indirectly, is too great to count.
I suppose that might be why certain cops seem to believe anything to be illegal.
I’ve heard that before…
Way too many laws on the books.
If the Government puts any citizen under a microscope they’ll find a crime.
It's be design.
It is done for a reason.. a lot of money to be made by building/operating prisons..
Exactly , & for example : Most people are unaware
Riding a bicycle on the sidewalk is a ticketable offense.
"Does he have asthma?" 😂 BURN!
This should go viral, this has pissed me off to no end. Way to go guys.
The biker asking "you don't have anything better to do?"
Got me thinking how many kidnapped kids are currently screaming for help while sincere officers here busy charging bike light!
IKR.... i see people get stop for nothing while some drivers drive 100 in schools zones and sht... its ridiculous
You know that kidnappings don't just happen every second in every single town ever. And it's based off of what an officer witnesses, therefore, they witnessed an offense and attempted to enforce it. I'm not saying it was nessasary or the right thing to do, but it is a very legal and regular action
Can you name the kid? There should be amber alerts for every child abducted in that town during this very incident, it'll have there name and some more info. Since you're so worried about them, you should definitely put out the info for everyone to keep an eye out for them.
Here's why your argument is completely stupid and invalid. The officer saw someone breaking a city ordinance. It would take literally 3-5 minutes in a normal world for him to stop, give a warning, and be on his way. Instead, this idiot ran, which would indicate that he had a warrant or something more nefarious going on. And it isn't like by ignoring the bike light the officer would've been magically led to missing children he could save from trafficking. Cops have the duty to enforce all laws, big and small. A simple warning to a good citizen is not a bad thing. It could've even been a pleasant interaction. Normalizing and applauding some jackass not stopping for the cops is a braindead way to spend your time.
My manager was held at gunpoint last week and no charges have been filed despite knowing the man AND where he lives. They told us they are "busy"?? Like, doing what exactly? This is infuriating!
I do private security. We had two break-in attempts on my shift last year, (both unsuccessful, thankfully) and both times the cops said they couldn't do anything because the property the people were attempting to steal was owned by a resident and not me. It's like why even answer the phone if you're not going to follow up on the video footage or take down a report? Just collecting paychecks.
Harassing people for bike lights
clearly, as the pig said, "this is best there is" - they are busy proving their heroism by busting up those criminal bike riders that dont have the light! our planet is that much safer now i know that evil doer wont be riding that bike anymore!
@@justdropHey brother! I do private security too & from I've seen we help communities way more than cops do. I'm proud of my job idk how cops can be proud of theirs
Do you know how many untested rape kits there are across America? Cops don't actually do anything. There were multiple supreme court cases that have asserted the police have no obligation to help anyone or stop crimes. Cops are allowed to watch you be stabbed to death and do nothing, in fact there was a major court case where exactly that happened.
He's fallin and his ego CAN'T GET UP!
In high school there was this cop who had it out for our friend group and one night they were after one particular kid as they came to break up a bon fire party. He started running at my friend and twisted his ankle on the way so out of embarrassment he charged him with assaulting a police officer. Same officer that was dating a girl that was a party regular so he would constantly roll through to check on her/ harrass everybody.
Good video mate. Your grading scale was on the point. I personally think that law enforcement officer needs to take a dirt nap for having seriously wrong priorities as any peace officer worth a salt would have known it's not worth the trouble, but your grading scale and escaping bias is exactly what is needed in cop/citizen videos. This is why your channel is 100x better than lackluster.
Man I wish I could sue someone after falling down because of my own actions.
You can if its on their property hahah

He attempted an nfl style tackle and fell down hahaha, so a shinned knee is now a felony, what about when it happens to a citizen? Where's the same tier of justice, I'm gonna remember this law.
Cops couldn't care less how much they drain the taxpayers pockets. There's always more where it came from!
Over a ‘crime’ that was gonna be a warning ? So the escalated a caused injury which could have been completely ignored lol

I've been waiting for you guys to get to this one.
“Nope, this is as best as it gets” really sums up how useful cops actually are
Both parties were immediately hostile. You can pretty much tell exactly where this interaction was headed from the moment of first contact
If an officer willingly jumps in front of a moving vehicle and the person operating that vehicle attempts to avoid the officer, that person should not be held liable for that officer’s injuries.
This just happened in Columbus, OH with a pregnant woman suspected of shoplifting alcohol from a grocery store. Officer moved in front of her vehicle with weapon drawn and fired on her when she put the car and gear and tried to drive away. Killed her and her unborn baby.
@@tfgrrl2042That’s still so annoying to hear about. And people defend it because she was, “running the cop over.”
I’ve been “nudged” by a moving vehicle like that. AND I’m noticeably shorter than the officer in question, meaning it’d be easier to get pulled under than for him. When a vehicle is pushing on you like that, it naturally pushes you off to the side of the hood. He remained in front of a car, had a gun out for a shoplifting suspect, and deemed the necessary action to take was to shoot the driver of the car. All he had to do was roll off, and they could get the plate of the car later. Instead it ended fatally.
When people defend these kinds of situations it vexes me so much. Like, how low is your bar for *death?* Because there are way too many people who have set their bar for *ending someone’s life* at “you inconvenienced an officer.”
In an alternate timeline the officer would have just rolled to the side. They’d get her plate, and she’d be dealt with. Instead, she’s dead.
It’s pathetic that U.S army soldiers have better discipline in when to use firearms, than cops. 18 year olds fresh out of high school assess higher stress and more dangerous situations better than most late 20 somethings cops. You carry a gun near a soldier and they’ll watch your fingers and where you point the barrel. You carry a gun near a cop and they’ll watch you bleed on the ground while calling for backup.
@@brandonwilliams6221my question is... Why can't people just obey the law and not attempt to drive off when an officer has commanded them to stop? She was suspected of shoplifting, which is a crime. The cops were within their authority to identify and detain her. Allowing her to drive off and using her plates as means of identification would not work considering she could easily claim that she was not the one operating the vehicle. I'm not saying she should've been killed, but it's really not that difficult just to obey the law. Driving a vehicle in the direction of another human being with no intentions of stopping lawfully justifies the use of deadly force. She was in the wrong. Period.
@@tfgrrl2042she must have been brown 🤔
@percylee8116 she was on both security camera footage and body camera as the driver. She didn't ram him, she was doing under 5 mph and have you never heard of fight or flight. You don't think when you're scared, you just react. I agree she should have complied, but that shouldn't get an unarmed pregnant woman dead.
Imagine going so far as to TACKLING someone off their moving bike because they don’t have a light, and then thinking they’re out ensuring safety
Regardless of your state’s law, keep in mind that police can never compel you to identify yourself without reasonable suspicion to believe you’re involved in illegal activity.
Unless our rights are being stripped by corrupt troopers and other LEO’s
I mean yeah they can't physically force you to identify but they can still charge you depending on the state
Are you an idiot Bulli9374 or did you not watch the video? Obviously I agree that pushing the charges to the level of a Felony as well as tackling the guy when he’s standing there not making any sudden moves is excessive as hell, but the guy was riding his bike at night with no lights on his bike or self. A Bike IS a Vehicle technically by law which is why you have to obey the same laws as other cars or Vehicles WHICH INCLUDE having a functioning Light to be used at Night making this a lawful traffic stop because he was creating a dangerous and potentially fatal situation( all it takes is one car not seeing him in the darkness and blam, dead cyclist or driver or god forbid both). But this guy had to have a massive ego on him and, thinking he was right, continued antagonizing the cop instead of obeying a lawful command, ON TOP OF trying to run from the cop to spite him Bc of his ignorance in thinking he was right and the cops were wrong and just trying to harass him.
All the dude had to do was stop and talk to the cop for like 5-10 mins tops and show the Bare Minimum amount of respect or Courtesy.
But he wanted to Eff around…..and now he Found out. Learn to watch AND listen to the video sometime.
a blind guy I know was out drinking at a Wisconsin bar with a friend. As they exited the bar his friend had an epileptic seizure and the blind guy tried to help. The cops showed up and beat the crap out of both guys and took them to jail. When the judge heard the case he dismissed the charges but qualified immunity kept the guys from suing the cops. So the cops were in the wrong, both guys got pretty badly beaten up and had no recourse; the blind guy had a $1200 medical bill show up a few weeks later. great time in Wisconsin!

This literally reminds me of an abusive husband and abused wife. That’s the perfect description of the relationship between government and the governed.
That’s exactly what it is. We’re the beaten spouses of the state.
Its more common to be an abusive wife. Think about it the majority of people instantly believe the officers just like people instantly believe women when they say they didn't do anything. And there isn't as much recourse for men in an abusive relationship just like our recourse is limited and if we do stand up people still blame us just like they blame husbands.
The guy didn't stop when given lawful orders and the officers felt that apprehension was necessary. Some use of force has to be applied to apprehend a suspect, would you rather he tazed someone technically operating a vehicle? Because that's against most taser policies.
@@lstchance87 that's statistically very incorrect. 1 in 4 women will experience domestic abuse compared to only 1 in 9 men.

Once a citizen objects, it's on like Donkey kong
Exactly two cop SUVs needed to apprehend a lightless bicycle? Guy in the video was right to question that they had nothing better to do.
My guess is they assumed he had a suspended license since he's an adult riding a bike and hoped he had a record so they could screw with him but obviously they don't realize a lot of young people don't even bother with a license nowadays until into their 20s if they have a job nearby and save insurance/gas money
A lot of cops assume a adult man riding a bike is a junkie.

Wonderful. Citizens can be held accountable if an officer gets injured but officers can hide behind qualified immunity if a citizen gets hurt.
But lets be real he could have stopped and would have gotten away without a Ticket or with a Ticket 20$ 5 Min later would have been on his Way Home.. But instead he choose to drive, shout Things not listen and fcking didnt have any respect... What happend after was unfortuned but it could have been easily prevented by showing atleast a normal Level of Respect even tho you dont like Cops, atleast respect the Person behind the Job and talk nice to them... Just listen for a few Minutes and continue to go Home safley...
The person who breaks the law should be responsible.

@@jordan9604 What Type of Argument is this 20 Years Ago we should have did this and that is this how Laws work xD Dude do you even listen to yourself how silly you sound ...
@@jordan9604 Yes. And maybe that's not such a bad idea because bicyclists can cause serious accidents. And the cop initially was just going to give the guy a warning. And any time a suspect evades police, that's a red flag they may have a warrant or are committing a second crime. And while the police may exercise discretion in who they contact about minor crimes, they have a duty and ethical obligation not to allow suspects to flea once they have initiated the encounter. So, short of simply letting the suspect go, which wasn't really an option, what was the cop supposed to do?
This is one of the most infuriating encounters I've watched.
Here's how this usually goes down in Denmark (where we bike a lot):
- Police stops you, because you don't have any lights
- You stop and acknowledge and said you're just on your way home
- The police will just give you a warning and asks you to drag your bike home
This video could have ended that way too, had the dude stoped.

@@14thCenturyHareZERO. That's the whole point.
@@14thCenturyHare Well, how many citizen kill police in Denmark. Americans are more likely to have weapons, meaning that every dude is more likely to succesfully kill the cop. If you were to be a cop in the US you would need to be ready for any stop to suddenly involve a weapon, possibly by a stupid drunk person who think he is being smart.
@@14thCenturyHare Your right, they should if shot em or tazed him. All I know is the road I drive has had a bike w/o lights in my lane. If I didn't have high beams on, this story would be different. Its ppl like the rider who think they can do whatever they want, he was asked to stop so they can talk safely..
Him threatening to sic a dog on the guy leads me to believe everything here was done out of spite, and they just wanted to screw this guy over for not complying over such a petty issue. That's a pretty big red flag that nothing here was good faith want to prevent traffic issues it was just vindictive. If they really cared that much and had nothing better to do they could have just followed the dude home and cited him there. Guy wasn't even in the roadway he was no more a traffic issue than someone walking on the sidewalk.

Best case scenario they have somewhere in the ballpark of a coinflips chance of finding drugs, worst case multiple are dying in the back of a cruiser or being sent after people already in handcuffs for the cops amusement or to teach them a lesson.
@@MarkOfTzeentchthis is exactly the kind of thinking that’ll screw you over even further. What reasonable person thinks “This cop is threatening me with a dog if I don’t stop… therefore, I’ll keep going!” On a bicycle no less. You’ll lose that battle 10 times out of 10.
Whether or not that use of force would’ve been justified, you don’t get to choose to disregard a lawful traffic stop simply because you disagree with whatever punishment you’ll get.
Good to know there are brave officers out there, risking life and limb to protect us from people with lights out on their bike.
I was thinking the same thing, the amount of overly powered headlights on vehicles but they go for the felony charge no light on a poor mans bicycle.
I mean, he got arrested for running from the police. If the cops want to pull you over for an out of date inspection sticker, and you run from the police, you weren't 'jailed because you had an out of date sticker'.
@@Vsor But who cares if someone if bicycling without a light on a fairly lit road? Should they pull over everyone going 36 in a 35 just because they can? Now there's an injured officer who can't stop real criminals.
@@markmccleary7276 They are trying to enforce some minor law. It usually happens after someone gets hit. For instance cops will give a lot of tickets for failing to stop at crosswalks if some gets hit.
These stupid laws are just as much of a problem as the cops who enforce them.
A man cannot even ride home on his bloody bike anymore without getting tackled by cops (injured, and put in a situation where they were ready to murder him for a bike light), slapped with a felony, and given an "F" from AtA? God Bless America. I don't really understand how he gets an "F"... I mean I'm willing to bet money that the felony charge does not stick, it's either going to get dropped if he has the money to fight it, or pleaded down if he's too poor to fight it (both makes me sick), either way it's a total waste of tax payers money and the courts time.
> The cops should get an F for wasting tax payer money, court time, injuring themselves, and, MORE IMPORTANTLY, injuring the citizens THEY WORK FOR, over a bloody "warning" that the cop's ego couldn't just let go, or give verbally while driving beside the guy? He said a lot of other stuff from his car, why couldn't he just say "please get a white light when you drive around in dark" and drive off? AND THEY GET A C+? AtA is way too much a cop lover to be doing this show, F, pure F for the cop and F for AtA. AtA needs to do better.
As for the victim it really is too hard to rate him, he was literally just riding home on a bloody bike not wanting to interact with cops, knowing he hasn't done anything to warrant the harassment he was receiving from the cops. His rating: -
He gives his rating on what the law is, not what the law should be. Everything the cop did was legal.
But just because because it is legal doesn't make it right. Ita not right to cheap on someone just because it is legal.
And while they were both in the wrong, the cop was clearly more in the wrong and he has much more power and his actions have far more severe consequnces than the rando on his bike, which only makes what the cop did even worse.
@@liarwithagun you honestly don't know what you are talking about. Everyone knows AtA try's to "follow the law" even if he doesn't agree with it, but he has some real clear biases, and clearly leans towards the cop bias more often than not. The law basically says "a cop can, individually, do no wrong as long as the pig doesn't 'know' what he is doing is illegal" (aka as long as they play stupid anything they do is legal), everyone knows this, every AtA episode is now done, A+ to every cop. Bam. But then he's giving F's to some cops who did nothing "illegal" however resulted in a 10M dollar lawsuit to the tax payers in a follow up 1983), he is laterally all over the place that no one can predict an AtA score. There are times he rates the cops A+ in cases where the victim's lost in the lower level court, and then 3 years later after the appeal process is over the appellate courts says the cops was in the wrong and all charges got dismissed, and then a 200k+ 1983 law suit gets filed, and in this case, if AtA was creating the episode from scratch, would give the cop an F, however, he already gave him an A+; he simply relies too much of the work being done for him by the court system, and when it's not done for him his bias shows way to much.
For example the episode where the cop tried to pull a guy out of the truck and the truck drove off with a cop hanging on to the steering wheel. The cop then violently yanked the steering wheel to the side of the road and caused the vehicle to run into the ditch, and AtA gave the cops an A+ because they are "allowed to demand a person exit the vehicle" eventhough it was clear they were doing it based on their ego, and court found the guy guilty, and episode released. Then appeals court happened and all charges were dropped because the cops already finished the stop, handed the guy the ticket (ending the stop) before they decided to "ask" to search the truck, he declined, and then they tried to drag him out, and judge ruled that everything that happened after that is the fault of the cops, not the driver, resulting in a huge lawsuit. Also that even if the stop wasn't over, the cops were not in a state to fear for their safety to demand the driver to exit the vehicle, etc. The law has so much wiggly room when it comes to pigs that someone who is biased for cops really shouldn't be auditing them.
This is what I was saying if you read the 1st message carefully. There are a lot better people out there now-a-days, ones who can actually predict the final outcome of these cases even before they happen. People who know the law much better that they can say that even-though AtA would give the cop an A+, that even if it fails in the lower courts, that the appellate court is going to smash this down immediately, and that it's going to result in a 1983 lawsuit that the victim's is very likely going to win because of the pigs actions, thus, the pig doesn't deserve an A+, he gets a C-, etc. People who follow/predict/publish the higher level courts (appellate/supreme, aka pro-rights) rulings closer than the lowest level (more-often pro-police) rulings, AtA usually falls into the lower court rulings, simply because often time thats the only thing availably when he makes the video, and it's too hard for him, with his bias, to accurately predict what happens after. But yes, for a lot of these episodes, AtA would likely be good at predicting what happens in the lower (city/town) courts, simply because often-times these course have the same bias as him (however he usually just looks it up, 99% of his episodes the low-level court case is already done). He is horrible at predicting how the case actually ends up at the very end though unless it's already done for him.

Good on AtA for taking a moment to discuss the consequences of felony convictions.
When the US was founded, there were 7 felonies in the legal code: murder, arson, rape, robbery, forgery, treason, burglary.
Today? There's over 100 crimes classified as felonies.
Yeah it is pretty fucking dumb that there is NO SYSTEM IN PLACE to help ex-felons get their lives back together, I mean having a felony literally prevents you from gaining employment in many occupations, including many low-income jobs.

It's kinda scary when you need to have 37 law textbooks completely memorized just to go to the store without getting harassed. Then again, I suppose it just depends on if the officer doesn't like the way you walk.
Or just stop and have the officer explain the law and then you can fix it if it's wrong?
Or when the cop drives next to you telling you the laws and asks again for to to stop before they make you? That's a good time to comply.

So what your saying is, if the cop falls of his front stoop leaving for work, then the very next encounter he has he can then blame his injury on that person because the cop "never would have fallen" if it wasn't for the person breaking the law to begin with. right!
If a cop runs over his own foot or slams the door on his fingers getting out of his patrol car to pull you over, well, you caused the poor little officer to get out of his car! Think about what you did!
🤣
That's a really dumb analogy. Dude, don't act like if you were trying to stop someone from wrongdoing that you wouldn't be mad at that person because you got hurt while trying to stop them. The whole reason the cop got hurt in the first place is because the guy was FLEEING and ELUDING. You act like there was absolutely zero aggravating factor dummy.
In the example you gave there were no aggravating factors. Of course if you bump your fn toe on a wall under your own esteem then that's your fault. However, if the reason why your toe got stubbed is because you were trying to catch your dad from falling then yes, it's your dads fault that you stubbed your toe dude.
To put things into perspective, think about this: if someone committed a felony burglary and your mom died as a result of falling down the stairs while running from the burglar should we charge him with burglary only and blame your mom for killing herself? No, you'd be very fn angry if that happened. That's why we have the 'felony murder rule'. If someone is in the commission of a crime and someone else gets hurt as a result of the person's crime then they get charged with a felony for whatever happened to the person. How do you just dismiss the fact that someone got hurt as a result of a criminals actions?! Get real.

The police today are not the same as the police before 9/11. Today's policing employs an 'us against them' mentality. Come to Ohio. Our police pulled over a truck because it was missing a mud flap. As the trucker was coming out of the truck with his hands held high (per orders from the police), one of the officers released the k9 to nibble on the trucker. Slowly but surely the public is beginning to react to these depts. Citizens need to retrain the police as to what we will and will not tolerate. They need to return to working FOR the public.
