F*** you I support the police on this because if he was black y'all would have called it justification so yeah let that white man get tased by his people and possibly killed like they do mine
Those cops must go to PRISON. If the prosecutor won’t prosecute FIRE the prosecutor. These people are CORRUPT. The City Council must be FIRED. This PD must be disbanded.
Those officers will not be fired or charged with anything in Arizona They will be promoted Why do we see these videos over and over Because police officers are encouraged and protected No matter the brutality There is no consequence Police unions and taxpayers pay the lawsuits So there is no end in sight
Amen for the cops and supervisors go to state pen. They won't live 2 weeks,the Mexican Mafia will see to that. I am curious on how many convics they put away and one day you and your cop buddies come across these guys, this time NO BADGE TO HIDE BEHIND, Lights out.
@soaringtractor Yes that is correct. But the courts also tell the police they don't need to know all the laws they enforce.. Very rare situations will the courts strip them of their qualified immunity ..
The taxpayers don't foot the bill, It's insurance companies that have to cough up the cash, until the money is taken from the police retirement fund or their annual budget nothing will change.
They need to clean that house and get new people in there and take someone from the top and get a new chief that nobody knows that will clean a lot better than promoting from the bottom where you know where they're going to be in top
No way to the 15 million. That money comes out of the tax payers pockets not the cops that did it. See thats part of the problem. They screw up and we pay for it with higher property taxes. Its short sighted and besides 15 million seriously? Thats more than the families of first responders who died on 9/11 received.
911 jedi I live in the middle of the US and am able to see the story and have been trying to learn the latest but this story isn’t yet top priority over Trump corruption.
I keep wondering when the Personal connection will be found between the Cop who lied and started this altercation and the "suspect". A "suspect" face down on the ground and handcuffed behind the back and the Cop feels the need to pull the "suspects" shorts down to Taser his genitals....that's Personal. The "suspect" was a target by this Cop for personal reasons, where is that story?
This is where anyone involved with abuse or investigating this should be fired with NO pension. We need to set an example the way courts set examples of Americans all the time.
What will it take to end the police from covering up their own crimes? This is happening while taxpayers pay out the nose in damages for police behavior that should have been avoided.
Ken Ridley when the public is able to stop the police union contribute financially to the election of the a####les in city council including the stupid mayor , then maybe this atrocity will stop, but I doubt it, the police is protected by the politicians for their funds.
the only way to end this is to have outsiders investigate police misconduct , instead of letting them investigate themselves. a child can figure out that any agency investigating itself is wrong.
You need a civilian oversight board, which will never happen because the police unions have bought off the politicians who are supposed to be their watchdogs. The public can change this by demanding a change in the law, but cop unions are a formidable political force and almost always get their way.
every "officer" that was there during the incident needs to have criminal charges filed against them for assault and battery, 11 counts each, conspiracy to commit assault and battery, 11 counts each, and a myriad of federal civil rights violations as well. if found guilty then they should all be sentenced to the maximum and serve their sentences consecutively. that will keep these cockroaches behind bars for a long long time.
What amazes me is that the seatbelt was caught and the man couldn't easily get out of the car. Time for police to carry their own malpractice insurance. That should not be the burden of the taxpayer.
"According to the complaint the victim was tased in his testicles" Actually according to the video the officer pulled his shorts and underwear down and tased his testicles. Apparently, that's within policy.
Glendale police chief. We did an extensive internal revue and found nothing wrong with the arrest. Now the video's gone viral they're panicking. They should have taken the $500k deal.
Nothing will happen except the insurance will pay and it will be business as usual. Until pigs have personal liability for their actions nothing will change. FTP
IM ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED THAT THE MEDIA IS DOING ITS JOB HERE!! They almost always take the side of "law enforcement" (chuckles at the irony of those thugs being called that). 1st REAL piece of actual journalism i've seen in years.
I have followed this case from the beginning. It needs to be mentioned that there were children in the car screaming and crying, AND the whole incident started over failure to use a turn signal!
They also need to be charged with violating 1st amendment rights during media briefings. "No cameras, we will tell you what you need to know" Pure B.S.
Thank you so much for covering this story! I just can't help but think of so many cases of police brutality that have been caught on video and brought to light. If this is what they're willing to do on camera imagine what they're willing to do off camera. Also, the 500,000 settlement should be paid by all of the police officer's involved, not by the taxpayers.
I keep wondering when the Personal connection will be found between the Cop who lied and started this altercation and the "suspect". A "suspect" face down on the ground and handcuffed behind the back and the Cop feels the need to pull the "suspects" shorts down to Taser his genitals....that's Personal. The "suspect" was a target by this Cop for personal reasons, where is that story?
Video evidence says the officers lied about the driver not using a turn signal, they didn't even have a line of sight until the vehicle was 100 ft into the parking lot. Instead of confronting the driver for the traffic infraction, they went straight to the passenger? why? Why did the cops demand an ID from the passenger, when the cops knows he doesn't need to show them any ID? Then the cops broke into to the car, illegal. Tried to drag the guy out while still wearing the seat belt, then claim he was resisting, when he wasn't. Why did so many cops just stand around doing nothing while all these crimes were committed by a cop? I know the passenger doesn't look like an upstanding citizen, but what was the officer's motivation to go all gangster on this guy, was there prior contact between the two? Was there a be on the look out for him? Massive cover up involving many in the police dept and City council.
Federal oversight legislation is needed to force local officials to prosecute such violations of law whether they like it or not. They would have to work with the reds looking over their shoulder at all times. Refusal to prosecute should bring near instant jail time.
Why would it even occur to a cop to think like this? "I'm going to taze this guy in the balls." Who is naive enough to think this is the first person that this was done to?
The reaction of the FBI and local gov't officials to the abuse of the Gendale police officers unjustly tasing an alleged traffic violator should be consistent to more serious cases where an Afro-American is a victim.There must be equal justice for all.
This is how it works in all police departments across the country, the system investigating itself, the system deciding guilt or innocence on its own, no transparency, no accountability...anybody involved in this coverup should be immediately terminated regardless of their position, absolute power corrupts absolutely..
Total immoral. Good work news. I hope someone in that Police department will have the courage to take responsibility for what happened to this man. There has to be Officers and employees that know this was wrong but are scared to state it publicly.
Wow people who believe that officers are the good guy!! This is a great investigation but lets get more Yes these people are not saints but look how the officers covered everything and your council people too Let see how deep the rabbit hole goes Good job
Please tell me if you send this information to national news agencies. And news in other states? I see so many items like this on CZcams but I can’t understand why “real” news agencies aren’t showing these things
Individual police and prosecutors should be required to carry individual insurance, and not be allowed to practice without it. Plus any assault should be prosecuted with a mandatory maximum sentence.
When police are under investigation "no comment no interviews" when the public is under investigation police say "if your not guilty why wont you let us interview you as often as we like"
With the new video that’s come out this last week it seems the Glendale PD is rampant with this sort of horseshit. Yet again, the officer involved in that case has now resigned and will be free to continue his abuse in a neighboring jurisdiction. The level of abuse and cover up, in multiple cases like this, is utterly disgraceful and unacceptable.
All Glendale officials should be removed from office and the mayor should be investigated for his actions, or lack of actions in this case. All officials and officers involved in this case should be held accountable and face charges.
He wasn't even driving, he didn't have to identify, that cop needs to be put in prison, his pension taken from him. the children will be traumatized for life, the gentleman as well, outlandish, brutal, treatment from a cop, that cop is sick in the head, pulling down his pants to punish him more extremely, outrageous!!!!. thanks to you for covering the video, story.
I thank you ABC 15 news for keeping this story alive your the only ones in this country willing to show investigate police brutality thank you again Godbless you all
Pretty sad that all this could have been avoided by the police department having some integrity. Of course, in today's day and age, that's too much to ask of these animals.
It is fascinating how the police departments pick and choose when they make statements and release videos. Then all of a sudden they refuse to do anything because of "pending litigation." If there is a policy never to respond to the public when litigation is pending, they would never say anything, because once an arrest is made, litigation is pending.
If you’ve ever been prosecuted on evidence from this police force, surely, you could argue its tainted? Won’t there now be thousands of retrials? Does that happen where whole PDs are disbanded?
You must live in some sick, twisted universe if you think their actions were justified and legal.
apparently all of the elected officials do
Yes. It's called USA 🇺🇸 come to CA and you can commit serious crimes and be out of jail in less than 24 hours! ...it might as well be an ad 😒
It all started because he refused to ID. He was the passenger, he was under no obligation to ID.
F*** you I support the police on this because if he was black y'all would have called it justification so yeah let that white man get tased by his people and possibly killed like they do mine
He wasn't even the driver, *so how is he liable for the (alleged) turn signal violation???*
Those cops must go to PRISON. If the prosecutor won’t prosecute FIRE the prosecutor. These people are CORRUPT. The City Council must be FIRED. This PD must be disbanded.
Those officers will not be fired or charged with anything in Arizona
They will be promoted
Why do we see these videos over and over
Because police officers are encouraged and protected No matter the brutality
There is no consequence
Police unions and taxpayers pay the lawsuits
So there is no end in sight
You couldn't of said it better.

The video proves that the cop lied about the traffic infraction. What *else* has this cop lied about???
Prison? They will at worse be a cop somewhere else. This story will go away……
Why should tax payers pay for a cops brutality of hatred. Why not take it out of their pension and insurance!
Mareshah Israel Cops are protected under qualified immunity. The taxpayers always foot the bill. This is why they’re never held accountable.
@@nicknitro4420 Which is why they should loose their qualified immunity in cases like these.

Yes. They can't serve if insurance cancellation is on their record just like car insurance!
5 million dollars sounds better coming out of police union and police retirement.
Then a 1 million dollars from each 🐖 when it happened
You guys are doing amazing work covering this story. Thank you!
White or Black, cops do not care… it is about power!!
should have been $500 million
The public needs to fight so those cops are prosecuted!!!!
And, the lies just keep on coming!
Every pig in that department should be fired.
I wish more news agencies were like you guys, you do so much research and ask the hard but important questions, well done!
"According to the complaint the victim was tased in his testicles" Actually according to the video the officer pulled his shorts and underwear down and tased his testicles. Apparently, that's within policy.

shoulda taken the 500,000 offer folks

There was no proof that he had or had not used the turn signal. It was proven that the cop could not see anything from where he was parked.
@@clairerange8706 He wasn't even driving his wife was. That's the problem, he was a passenger and didn't break any law so no need to Id.
You can see the video the blinker on.
Did he ever get a settlement?
Alleged failure to use turn signal. In actuality they were grasping at anything as an excuse to harass the car’s occupants.
They also need to be charged with violating 1st amendment rights during media briefings.
"No cameras, we will tell you what you need to know" Pure B.S.

Public servants definition of "transparency"
The definition of transparency is that the truth is whatever they say it is
500k its not enough
This lawsuit has to be at least 2 million dls
The reaction of the FBI and local gov't officials to the abuse of the Gendale police officers unjustly tasing an alleged traffic violator should be consistent to more serious cases
where an Afro-American is a victim.There must be equal justice for all.
Convict Cops should have to reimburse the city when they are sued.

yeah but the cops are there to help right
500k for getting tased 12 times in front of his children and tasing in the guys genitals? He should get 5 million and cop goes to jail.
