Zayd Atkinson, a student at Naropa University, was confronted by an officer while picking up trash for his work-study job outside of his dorm. The officer did not have reasonable suspicion that a crime was occurring and was not entitled to demand Atkinson's date of birth, according to an independent review by a former U.S. Attorney.
Research shows Black people are often exposed to heightened scrutiny and suspicion, which can begin early in childhood. 54% of Black Americans say they felt others 'have been suspicious of them because of the color of their skin,' compared to 6% of white Americans.
Several officers, some with guns drawn, surrounded Atkinson. A college faculty member later appeared to back up Atkinson. The police officers never asked the faculty member, a white man, to confirm his identity or prove that he worked for the college.
After almost 15 minutes, the officer gave Atkinson back his ID and left. The officer resigned two weeks after the incident but will remain on the city payroll until February 2020. An internal investigation found the officer violated 2 department policies but did not conclude he was racially biased.

@nowthisnews
Even if he was “trespassing” who cares he’s picking up trash
He could be pretending to pick up trash and wait for someone to leave their house so he can break in. *That's their thought process*
EDIT: I've bolded a portion of my comment since some people can't read
Anyone can trespass and pickup trash at my house lol
@Tommy B he has a point tho robbing happens
CrNessata if that were true, once in the building, then what? Pretend to be a cleaner and wait for someone to leave their flat and catch the door before it closes? Common sense says no, that’s a stupid idea, the accused is not stupid, the police officer is clearly a boob. I mean if the accused is going to go to elaborate lengths to break into a student house, of all places, why then waste all that time and energy of pretending and then create noise by breaking the door? If he knows how to pick locks, then the accused wouldn’t pretend anything.
I feel that way when I have to verify myself with the fkn cable company when there is an issue. I am like if some stranger wants to call you to fix my service I give full permission. Who in their right mind would call the cable company if they didn't have to.
I dont think anyone would randomly trespass to pick up trash.👁👄👁
Right lol like WTF.
I welcome such trespasser any day
Best comment ever😀
Seriously AF!
Normally I would agree with you. However, those college students are pretty crafty! He could have been casing the joint for multiple TV sets, large-scale evidence of dancing, and oh yes, illegal walking. (FOR THOSE WHO DON'T GET IT...THIS IS SARCASM)
The fact that the cop felt threatened by a trash picker upper and he had a gun is delirious
He's not a cop, he's an SS soldier of the American Gestapo. He's a coward
@@mikeveis6393So a typical cop then.
@@Jasterougeno
The cop felt threatened by a trash picker but he has a gun
He wasn't threatened he just wanted an excuse to shoot him and then claim he was threatened.
He tried to get that man killed when he called in for reinforcements and said he had a blunt object in his hands.
Mother: pick up the trash honey
Son: sorry mom, but that's against the law
Hey you're funny
@@dschuster6879 very funny
Now I have a excuse not to pick up trash around the house
lol
Relevance please
"He's a little irritated right now."
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO IRRITATED HIM.
yeah, I exclaimed "you think?" out loud when he said that. 🙄
It was making me heated just watching this BS
And they have no idea how to deescalate the situation. The faculty member comes and says he knows him, but they make him stand ten metres away so he has to shout to try to calm the dude down, which obviously doesn´t work because who calms down when someone yells at you? Let the man go to him and talk to him quietly and let him know they will deal with it. But the cops don´t want a discussion they can´t hear happening because they want to control the situation that they caused. Even at the end the cop couldn´t let it go. He had to keep talking. Just say "I´m going to put your licence here and then walk away. Sorry for the inconvenience." and then do it and walk away. But no, he needed the last word. No wonder he got fired.
OFFICER: "He's irritated right now. We tried to calm him by surrounding him with 6 officers, hands on weapons."
That is a different officer. It was the other officer, the first one, who irritated him. The other officers had nothing to do with it, they were made to believe that the young man was dangerous or holding a weapon.
Even after the cop realized he was in the wrong he didn't even apologize, just acted like he was doing the poor guy a favor by giving him back his ID. Cmon man, treat people better than that!!!
He pursues the brother for “trespassing” on his own property, pulls a gun on him for…nothing. Then lies to his back-up to take down this dangerous felon after identifying him as a resident there Yet even after confirmation from Zayd’s WHITE boss and fellow resident, Smylie continues to harass the man wanting to do his day’s work So after internal investigation Smylie gets a paid vacation and unblemished service record. ….and that is not racial profiling??
Imagine how many people needed genuine help but these guys spent all this time worrying about some dude picking up trash
only in amerikkka
The officer says “if you use that weapon on me”, so he classified himself as garbage?
Well,he is.
Great comment!!!👏👏👏
😂😂😂
Ayyyyy
Nice one
But the kid did give him his college ID which proves he is a student and he's clearly working there. He also offered to buzz him into the building to further prove he lived there..
Exactly, even if he didn't live in that building that ID still shows he clearly authorized to be on campus
That's all proof to the officer he's dealing with a criminal mastermind.
but does a college ID prove that you are living in a certain residence ? i think i also used my old college ID before to buy student meals even though im an adult. so any1 could have faked it..
And for real, is he stopping by every home and school interrogating everyone on their yard?
@@sirkeeper2885 stopping anyone suspicious? sure. or not wats the point of a police patrol ? fashion show ?

Classic case of "I was wrong, but I'm too proud to admit it. So you must comply or die."
Man I'm so glad you showed the cops face so that he can be recognised on the streets, wherever he goes.

Good one dude!
mind waves lmaooo
Haha
10/10 should be a comedian
Good one lol
It's actually plain simple why this happened: the cop was too proud to stop once he knew he was wrong. He never actually felt threatened.
Yeah
Too much pride the cop has pig
@C M Oh that is worse.
It is not pride. I see this type of thinking all the time on subjects which have nothing to do with this. Once someone starts down a mental pathway they keep to that direction because they can do nothing else. It is why if a person who commonly debates in poor faith hears certain words they will make an assumption based on the data they already have set in their mind before the conversation even takes place. Then continue to speak as though they are right even after being proven wrong. We are more animal than some think. The act of pride in this case would actually be a fear response in this case. Someone attempting to control the situation because they are confused. It might be a fear response as you said though it could also be something else.

The officer's ego got the better of him. This could have been resolved in under 2 minutes instead of wasting thousands of tax payer dollars by summoning the rest of the cops and going through all other unwanted procedures.
@@EricGraham-rk1de
None of this was the cops job. The officer had no RAS of a crime, and therefore no authority to make any demands. The student never had to comply with anything, or tell the cop anything.
That being said? The student properly identified himself, provided proof of his right to be there, and even offered to open the door using a key with his name and picture on it, all in the first 66 seconds of conversation.
The officer broke multiple laws, violated two department policies, and violated the 4th Amendment twice, all in less than 10 minutes.
@@peepslostsheepanother amazing, smart, human being who actually cares about the law. Thank you : ) too many people are ignorant these days
Apparently they have a lot of criminals picking up garbage in the neighborhood.

Who is the jerk that called the police on the person picking up trash? Anyone with half a brain cell can deduce that this man, listening to music, is picking up trash.

To the officer
He said it in the calmest, most condescending voice too. Chilling.

how can people blame the student picking up trash for being irritated… he was minding his business and then was suddenly interrogated by a malicious imbecile who seemed intent on getting him in trouble for doing nothing wrong.
Yet another reason why young people shouldnt sacrifice their youth for college.
As if though student loans, creepy peers/teachers, douchey peers/teachers, excessive schoolwork, and high cost of living wasnt bad enough.
...with a gun.
Imagine a guy in jail and telling his cell mates what he got arrested for ‘’ ya I was picking up trash’’
Ya I just eating sandwiches and get arrested
Lol for real
Literally...dead and living trash objects with gun in his hands...
"Alices Restaurant " Arlo Guthrie
I breathed air and they arrested me
The officer was literally trying to make this guy sound as dangerous as possible.
When the officer claimed his trash stick was "some sort of blunt weapon" when he clearly knew what it was seems like an indication he was trying to make the suspect look more dangerous than he actually is. Especially since that was his main message back to base. Blunt weapon armed black men being aggressive.

Don't insult potatoes like that!
The young guy needed to show his I.D. and be detained to prove that he belongs there. The older why guy just said yep this is my property. And just like that the older white guy was cleared, believed and wasn't harassed. That was bullsh*t.
Who breaks into someone’s property to clean up trash
Thomas Panks excellent point
Boi, I'd *want* someone to break into my property and pick up my trash??? The officer is nuts.

500IQ DISGUISE
One man with a gun cannot handle a student so he calls for backup then they couldn’t handle him so they called for the U.S army who arrived with tanks and planes
Lol
😂🤦🏽♂️
And the whole U.S. army couldn't handle him, so they asked his boss to calm him down.
That's the standard procedure. Alternatively, could have either smacked the student a$$ immediately or shot him dead without asking questions. But ya know...that would have been painfully stupid and kinda racist.
The officer did almost everything wrong, but calling for others was probably the single right thing he did.
Ironically the cop was actually tresspassing
If a cop says he is threatend by you in a calm voice without his gun out clenching his teeth. He lies.
Cop: “I fear no weapon”
Cop: “But that thing”
“Trash picker”

That's the thing though. He wasn't really afraid. That was an excuse for the likely event that he got to shoot and kill him.
that seems to be a universal excuse. if you had a booger , they would say you had something resembling a weapon to justify their actions
This is why people hate cops
I’ve watched this 20 times. The change will come when their families receive this treatment.
It is so funny when you treat them like they treat you. They are the biggest cry babies ever.
The worst part is that you can hear on the officer's voice that he knew he was wrong but continued on out of pride
Harley Flammia you nailed it, nuff said.
Well considering all sides, once you approach someone and they resist the most basic questions to help keep their own community protected, it gives reason to believe something suspicious might be going on. Hard to think that nothing is suspicious when the resident starts being argumentative with authority who started off polite. They both needed to apologize for starting off on the wrong foot and restart the convo with clear heads.

“That’s a weapon.”

Cops are jest dum not all but this one is

even someone with schizophrenia or a mental illness won’t do that
don't ruin the 666 likes, squad.
The fact that he decided that he must be trespassing even though no asked him to butt in. And the fact he wouldn't let it drop made it worse.
Can't believe he called for back up and saying he has some kind of blunt object wtf he's obviously trying to make him sound more dangerous by saying that
Surprised he didnt call 911 claiming a black man was threatening him
The cops in the vid is just a pay attention seeker
Like is an unidentify object that he didnt know that was a Clipper
He reminds me of the Central Park Karen except a man, with power and a gun.
That was by far the worst part, he knew exactly what he was doing.
Someone: "This is a clamper for picking up garbage, sir"
The police: "I'm threatened by it."
So this cop truly considers himself as garbage
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Lol
Hahah
I’m cryingggg
why he is not cooperating with police ? criminals do that
I hope he didn’t get too discouraged because of this.
Doubt that cop went to college. "Work study??? So, you have permission to be here?"
Probably jealous.
With a pinch of racial bias.
Even if he was trespassing, was it really that bad that he was just picking up trash?
yha, he is on someone's property. if a hobo was in ur house but he was doing the dishes would you let him stay? i wouldnt.
If it was a hobo who was inside of my house, no, but that, however, is an alternate situation. I would not mind if a hobo was in my yard picking up garbage that some people threw out their window as they were driving by.
@@rockleerules2210 ok, fair point. tbh This cop was just a jerk, and could have said, "Hello sir, what are you doing?" if he was suspicious. And then say: "Sorry, ur on private property and need to get off" instead of pointing a gun at him.
Well that was the quickest 180 I've ever seen on the internet.
@@ibieiniid4240 Well he was very persuasive lol
“Put the weapon down”
“SIR THIS IS A BUCKET”
“No no the bucket the other thing”
“THIS IS THE THING THAT PICKS UP THE TRASH”
He's scared of it cuz hes afraid he will be picked up by the thing that picks up the trash.
Yes we heard it no need to repeat it
I think it's both of their faults
@@noahjohnson8968 So you would be perfectly fine if a police officer drove up to your house while you were raking leaves and told you to put the weapon (the rake) down and made you give him identification showing you that you actually live there?
What's funny is I bet you're the type that hates more government intervention.
Sounds like a conversation between two very high guys at a college party
It really makes you wonder about police training and police department policies throughout this country.
Outrageous.
I hate SO MUCH how he kept saying “just making sure you belong here” that alone speaks VOLUMES and he said it more than once. This is very sad and I am sorry for this man; just being a regular human existing like we all should be able to do peacefully and respectfully ❤
"He has some type of blunt object in his hand."
Bruh it's a trash grabber, don't act like you don't know what it is lmao.
He was afraid that that object is for him picking up garbage and put him into the bucket.
it was to make it seem like he was holding a weapon
Nice Chiaki pfp
Poor man
he ain't acting, he's genuinely that stupid
“Some kind of blunt object in his hand” was intentional and malicious to make the responding backup officers have a heightened sense of a threat so that when they showed up, they’d be more inclined to draw. This officer knew exactly what the “some kind of blunt object” was.
Exactly. He made it sound much worse purposely. Glad he is off the force. I think there are a lot of amazing police officers that truly want to make a difference but there are also ones like this guy that lets his ego get in the way. Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity.
i was lookin for a comment like this im very happy you mentioned it, cuz i was wonderin, so just thank you for your comment, like genuinly
Myb that blunt object could be a bio weapon which can cause mass extinction...
He tried to play dumb even when his back up got there it's ridiculous
Definition of disingenuous, with an added stench of lethality. Wish we could be sure he'll never work as a cop again -- but we can't. There needs to be a registry for people like this.
Outrageous behavior by the Officer!! I’m sorry this happened to you Zayd😢You were absolutely 💯% in the right. The Officer abused his position and authority. So glad he resigned! Just know myself and many others are with you, we support you, and we wholeheartedly denounce the incident which occurred. Stay safe and be well🤎🙏🏽🤍
He could have been more chill about the whole thing, but the officer was POWER TRIPPING
Always someone trying to tell someone how to act. On the one hand I hear exactly what you are saying because it could have went real bad. Let you keep being harassed for no apparent reason then say that. I think he did rather well all things considered. Who carries id with them when they are just stepping outside to pick up dump trash.
My man already got 1 star just cuz he was picking up trash

Gta logic
Thats some real BS right there. Leave him alone and go fight some crimes
CameroonKing 00
I know what you mean but I don’t even trust these types of cops to even fight crimes to tell you the truth. I can imagine that they harass countless innocent people all the time in the midst of investigating the “crimes” they find. These types of cops don’t need a badge period. Because even if they choose to focus on real crimes, they likely target people of color.
But real criminals are SCAREY!
He needs to check
John Smyl is the cops name. He resigned, but will get $69,000.00!!! Let's call, write, and make our voices heard that he should be taken off Payroll Immediately!!! Paid time off is NOT a PUNISHMENT!!! This isn't right!!! Call, write, spread the word!!!
@Dabido Hrodrigues sym
the aggressive tone in the officer from he approached him from the start. You can almost hear that the officer can't hold back his anger and hate. This is an officer that needs to be removed from the force and a man that needs to be clinicly declared insane.
EDIT: as in officer and man is the same i'm talking about. The young man cleaning obviously didn't do anything wrong and seem more sane than most people i've met.
The ID card was literally enough proof already to show that he "belonged" there. Honestly the moment he took the taser out on him was where the line was really drawn, especially if he wasnt threatening him at all. If you're afraid of a stick like that, then you shouldn't have a firearm or a taser on your belt.
He told him to show his id and then it will end there which was a total lie. In some states legally you do not have carry id or produce when asked. But you also want to mindful and read the room sort of speak because like it or not in a public forum the cop has the power. Comply and get home alive and then report the cop formally after the fact. It is not always the easiest to do because some cops try and bait to respond negatively so they validate their aggressiveness. The cop really wanted to tase the guy but the guy was not raising his voice or acting aggressively. So instead of defusing the situation the cop was trying to escalated matters.
I’m removing the joke just so people stop arguing. Please don’t continue anything.
Computer Crazies Hello sir, thank you for your reply. I’d like to say sorry if this offended you buddy, and that this it was purely a joke. I know about dangers in real life, but y’know, sometimes I like the internet to avoid the real troubles and fear lots of us experience in our lives. Also, if I didn’t have a profile picture from a hobby when I was younger, would you have not replied like this? Alright, that’s it. Please calm down a little, especially for the other people, ok? Have a nice rest of your day.
Computer Crazies How tf do you get offended by this.
Computer Crazies As of my opinion. I will not “chant death” to police, that’s not what I was trying to achieve nor was what I was joking about. And my belief is that yeah, not all cops are bad. I understand how there are different types of people. I’m not “trained” to hate police, I don’t think all police are bad. Also, you still call me “kid” or compare me to games that I may play. Not to single you out like you did to me, but I could say the same thing by what is contained in your channel. I have stupid stuff from games, but it also seems you have stuff from games. Why shouldn’t I be able to immaturely call you something? That was not a insult just a question. Anywho, have a good rest of your day again.

This is the kind of thing they're talking about when they say they "feared for their life" after murdering someone in cold blood: trash tongs, a sandwhich, a cell phone, a vape, etc. Except for the trash tongs, all of those things are objects that somebody has gotten murdered over.

Sarcasm anybody?
Imagine being scared of your mom even though she's your mom
@Khair Muhammad it was a metal rod and the cop would be scared because he doesn't want to shoot him cops just dont kill people they think of what their family goes through and all that but you need to look at the cop suicide rate because people kill themselves by cops by rushing them or threating with a gun or pole
"´He has some kind of a blunt object in his hands"
I'm speechless.
Obviously TRYING to set him up to be hurt by ANOTHER Cop, by saying "He has some sort of blunt objectcin his hand."( An embarrassment to our 'real' hard working, and very needed Police Force.)

No one denies the need for police, nor the difficulty of the job.
But some, like the doofus pig in this case, make the job harder. And they’re too often tolerated and/or protected by other cops.
It's obviously a "metal object"
Lmfao
You are.... I'm shaking my head in anger.... Dumb cop.. Well wouldn't say cop.. Some crazy man with a gun...
This whole conversation should have ended when he told him his address
"its obvious your working and cleaning" "suspect has some kind of blunt object" 💀
Even if that wasn't his home, HE WAS PICKING UP TRASH. Dude should be getting a gold star.
right? who trespasses to...pick up trash??
True. Either way he was doing a good thing for the people living there and causing no harm.
If I was a police officer I would have appreciated him for the work he is doing.
Its difficult when you're not white.. while existing.
Ok so every robber should just walk around with a clamper and a bucket? If that guy would have just answer the cops question calmy, so the cop could rule out that he was a trespasser the cop would have left within a couple of minutes.
@@maximilianjohandson3382 which he did, he gave him his adress and his id and even offered to bring him to his dorm, which the officer refused

"That's a weapon!"
"This is a BUCKET"

I'm so glad that this unnecessary incident didn't end up involving a forced arrest, even worse a shooting 😢
This so-called officer needs to be fired for stupidity.
Funny enough is they did, thankfully
Does the officer not understand that a drivers license wouldn’t have a dorm address on it?
Lmao
@Wischmopps lol. in my country it take 4 years of really rough training and education.
@@chubby_cheesecake_cheeks Same lol. In my country, education takes 4-6 years depeding on the kind of police academy you want to go to. Then the police academy takes 2 years to complete.
Same thought myself. One normally wouldn’t go through that hassle to have a temporary residence on their ID unless it was imperative for whatever reason.
@@justwatch7091 also, not everyone passes. 😂
The academy here is very harsh, like you really need to have a good grasp of the law, ethics and training is really harsh. I have cousins who graduated from the academy and a lot of them gets desk jobs first before they can go on patrol.
“He’s kinda irritated”... I would be too If the cops harassed me.
Right!! Smmfh
Jonathon Galmore how does a student ID not help enough? Security at my school is always like “you have a student ID?” There you go “okay you’re good to go!”
L X uh no? He questioned him and believed he was trespassing which he wasn’t. He was a student there and he even showed him his student ID. Isn’t that enough for the cop? Also the cop had violated the departments policy
I would be much more "irritated"....
L X it's not a cops job to stop someone doing yard work and demand he proves where he lives.
Watching this video is deeply troubling. It's disheartening to see instances where assumptions based on stereotypes lead to unnecessary confrontations. It's crucial for law enforcement to approach situations with an unbiased mindset. In this case, the individual was peacefully cleaning his yard, and the items in his hands were simply tools for that task. It's essential for us as a society to foster understanding and address biases to ensure fair and just treatment for everyone. Let's hope for accountability and positive changes in policing practices.
cop should be fired immediately after watching that body cam footage . you work for the people, it means respect the people who pay your salary officer David
A student ID should be proof enough that he’s a student there and probably lives there.
Exactly...and students IDs do not have addresses on them. I guess he never went to college.
But that’s not what it’s about. This cop knows what he’s doing is wrong.
@@apara2005 yeah he’s a cop. These are the guys that get C’s in honors English in high school.
@@davidsnyder7341 why are C's bad.... extrinsic motivation gets you nowhere. a letter doesn't dictate your life
That's just a hard fact to digest for a police officer who follows system without common sense
Hand on the gun. From beyond the pond. You haven't solved anything and basically this is America in the 1900s. He is a student, has the card, and its in front of dorm. So whats up? When I was a student, I didn't have anything with the address of my dorm. Also the dorms are numbered here, so there isn't even an address. He said, calm him down and in 15 seconds we'll leave. :D In 15 seconds you could've check with the administration about him and move on. :D
Just another example of how good people are demonized in this country.
“ThIs iS a BuCkET!”
Poor guy shouldn’t have to say that
But he had to... anything to try to communicate with a dumb cop
@@bluemorpho3221 my point is that the cop shouldn’t be one if he’s so dumb that the guy has to explain his bucket isn’t dangerous.

There’s more.
@@xoventanaga2913 NO!
WHY IS THERE LIKE OVER 20 OFFICERS FOR A MAN WITH A STICK AND A BUCKET!!!!!!!!💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Ayo because the dumbass cop called for “backup” against a guy that has a bucket and the thing that cleans up trash. That cop is stupid.
I wish they'd go after the pedophiles like this
This and a million other such incidences are why there are massive protests now.
Actually 6, but who's counting, right? Why can't a single guy obey a cop in his rightful authority? Do you think other cops would have been there if the guy had simply obeyed????????? The cop made a simple request, and the student immediately disobeyed him. Memorize this formula, and it will save lives: COMMAND + DISOBEDIENCE = PROBLEM, CONFLICT, VIOLENCE, DEATH. OBEY, FOLKS. SIMPLE AS THAT. OBEY.
@@josephpedulla7831 As a cop I wouldn't call 5 other cops for a guy with a bucket and a garbage stick. I'm not about to show you my ID for picking up trash on my own property. And if you feel threatened by a guy with a bucket and clamps sounds more like a personal problem to me. Iv'e seen less cops than 5 for suspected vehicles with weapons in them. 🤷🏾♂️ But guess people think differently.
If he's going to pick up trash, he should pick up this officer first
As a mother of two black sons I have tears in my eyes from watching this video. This hurt my heart just hearing his voice of pain.
Yes when his voice started cracking yooo.This is what us black people have to go through and our crime is simply existing SMH 🤬🔥🔥
Well if i was in a place were the minority are responsable for most of the crime in the country i Will be really cautious around YOU people, simple logic 🤷♂️.
lol
why are you so dramatic about it ? if there is nothing to fear you just listen to the cops and follow the protocols and that's it , but you people always want to get something out of any situation, i have seen thousands of cases similar even with white people, whatever happens to you people is because its really hard for you to listen to cops .
@@guillermoarturo4985 If you think our last two comments are funny then you sir are a part of the problem clown.🤡
Threatened by a “garbage clamp”? Clearly you should not be a police officer.
He couldn’t understand why the guy was threatened by his gun but he’s threatened by a garbage clamp🤦🏽♂️ this is a terrible cop for sure
It's embarrassing. Cops like this make the US police force look like so cowardly.
Pier Luigi Asproni Most cops are in pills and are narcissistic douchebags. I’ve probably met 1 cool cop in my entire life. Most are jerks.
I’m glad he resigned. The police probably would have had his back and let him stay as a officer.
@@romanbellic2178 You don't resign from a job and get put on payroll for 10 months. It was a deal made
In defence of the officer, in all fairness, that was a fully automatic bucket with an extended magazine.

We've got to do something about assault buckets
