are you the same voice of The Lockpicking Lawyer? ITS TOO SIMILAR :O
Dude i love the channel but what were you thinking with this sponsorship?
@@treat760What’s wrong with it? Just curious..
I'm a vet that's been threw similar situations so this is much appreciated 👍 ive lost several years I'll never get back, and wasn't breaking the law just being "undesirable"
Christopher Dormer was pissed about how cops treat people. Good to see your channel grow and expose bad police.
Demanding a home address from a homeless person is peak level stupidity.
Smart people don't become cops.
Well put......
Yes my address is the wooded area behind Wendys
They do so because they know it's an easy felony to fill arrest quotas.
More like fascism!
*I'm so sick of cops getting away with things that would send the average citizen to prison for years.*
Yeah, try defending yourself against a police dog and get charged out the ass. Yet they're allowed to shoot dogs that look their way. Police are the real animals out here.
End qualified immunity
@@redlight3932need to disband the police union
They don't HAVE to. We are just pussies. In Minecraft when there's a problem player you burn their playerhouse down. Life should be more like a game.
@@redlight3932 That is the only way
“You were obstructing traffic”
Sergeant pulls up and blocks the entire intersection…
Their above the law in their delusional minds
Exactly lol, why was it necessary to do that? Causing a serious traffic obstruction to stop someone from receiving money.
Saw that I was like WTF
Yup and then they send 12 more squad cars and 20 more 🐷’s for absolutely nothing.
As always, rules for thee…
The police officer tasing the dog and lying about biting is absolutely disgusting.
I still find it VERY ODD, how it’s not a crime to lie about why you deployed your weapon.
They should lose their jobs and may God judge them for their evil
And so is the fact that women are allowed to “police”. I find that as equally preposterous. They escalate shid at home and in society in general and now look…
@@NoLineNoWait123AbC oh, is there somebody having problems with women? :D
@@Eskimobrille , read what’s in front of you and take it for face value. I said what I meant and no further translation “should” be needed.. and if I did have a problem with women, it would be with Eve. Have fun diving face first into that😁.
it's disgusting how they threaten to take away his dog just because he doesn't immediately bow down to their authority
That is a violation of ADA American with Disablity Act
They always do that with kids and pets... Immediately think "leverage." Real terrorist behavior.
@@coreyrobinson8209reminds me of how organized crime groups extort people.
im at the point the only way to fix this: offering to do the same to their private pets/kids -> "revenge". then im pretty sure then they gonna think 3 times before they make stupid decision again. Otherwise we gonna see this over and over again. Betting $1k in 2026 its still an issue or even worse since they aint gonna change anything.
Welcome to police in America. Threaten first, legality after.
I am a retired veteran. This sickens me. The female cop should be in prison.
Nice misogyny there buddy. The male cop is the one who escalated beyond belief and lied
If she was white she would be.
Interesting that you didn’t say anything about the guy that claimed he’s under arrest and also tased a dog. She was out of line too of course.
Karma is coming for her
Ur mom likes him@@cuzr702
She was such a well behaved dog, she was just worried about her person, but never acted aggressively. . History has proven time and again, that those that willingly harm animals without provocation are near psycopaths.
Officers don't become physocpaths, physocpaths become officers
She was going close to him to comfort him and let him know she loved him. They are too disgusting for words!!
Officer: HE BIT ME!!
Dog: 5 feet away, not looking at him
Someone needs to get snot for this
Exactly!!! They are the biggest liars in the world!! No good SOBS!!!
The willingness to lie about his dog just so he could hurt her in front of him is one of the nastiest things I've ever seen
just dont' look into scientific studies into empathy and which human beings have the lowest level of empathy. The govt does not want you talking about that.
@@pointmanzero I'm guessing it will be a dark read.
I wish I was a bystander who was there, those cops would have had another person to worry about. You mess around with a helpless kind animal, I will make you find out. No matter who you are.
People who are like that shouldn't be cops, it shows how little they value life and they lack compassion. I could care less about feelings and how they were hurt but they straight up need to have a true compassion for others in order to be effective.

Do you expect anything else but lies from cowards with badges?
“If you continue to argue, you are going to go to jail”
This is the problem with policing. They think arguing is illegal.
That is not Party approved Correct Speech and Allowed Thinking
@@jamesrecknor6752We've got a mini McCarthy here. Your brain rot is showing.
@@jamesrecknor6752it's a brave new world
Iconic example for someone knowing they have no point to stand on. Logical discourse makes them upset.
Oh no, you don't support the police.
I’ve met this gentleman and Sunshine 2 years ago while working as an over the road truck driver. They were the kindest and friendliest bunch I’ve ever met.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind word 🙏
Justice for sunshine! ❤
As a disabled vet myself it was heartbreaking to watch this video.I hope both officers involved get what they deserve ,whatever that might be.
As a disabled veteran with a service dog, no amount of money will ever make up for the loss of his dog. RIP Sunshine.
You're right man, i. Miss her
Sad
As a dog owner, that was gut wrenching to watch. I can't even imagine being in that situation
@@sunshineprojectnc 😢😢😢😢😢
@@eduardopetersas a best friend of a pretty large parrot (which is one of many in my home), I can tell you that it's like death smacks you in the face and head when your best friend flys off. He was always happy to sit on my shoulder but one day in a busy gas station he flew off and pretty high. At first he was playing with me then he flew very far away. I lost my mind and went home but came out back to search for him. I parked in a spot and gave up hope, and looked up at the tree to the right of me and there was my parrot friend. Suffice it to say we were able to bring him down as he seemed scared by climbing 20-30 feet of a tree
This is a disabled homeless vet and they’re treating him like he’s scum. Pathetic! These are badged bullies!
the video is 24 minutes long he just posted this 8 minutes ago and you just commented 1 minute ago. Help me understand how you watched this video already
@@diceonamayprobably because this Is an older video and its made it rounds on CZcams already.
@@diceonamayA) this is an old video, even I’ve seen this before.
2) the cop treats the guy badly right from the start. So what do you even mean? You don’t need to see the entire 24 min long film for that.
@@diceonamaypretty sure the end of the video won't include the part beforehand that wasn't filmed where he either did or didn't ask for cash. Either way, let the guy accepting $ live his life, and reexamine why you even ask that question.
I just want to point out tazing a dog here is wild. These are trash cops
That is fucking animal abuse and if that lying cop isn’t charged with animal abuse I seriously give up on the justice system. Tasing a defenseless dog who was only doing what it was trained to do while it wasn’t being threatened, that cop should have severe consequences. I am beyond upset over this
I hope this poor man gets justice for Sunshine, what a heartbreaking story.
It's amazing how easily police officers lie in order to justify their bad behavior.
It’s why we can’t just change things we need to go back into police interactions in the past so they can go to the same place they sent people (prison)
Not just lie, but blatantly lie ON CAMERA from their perspective AND get away with it. Cops are just governmental mobsters.
@@brianwalsh1078yes, but more important things change in the future. They really do think they are doing a good job. The chief orders them to do this, but when the media hits, fires them as fast as possible.
So what do you say about the judges that let them go ?
Not to mention the DAs
The woman who called the cops out to their face and said what they did wasn’t right is what we need more of.
What I noticed was how they all backed down and got outta there - they all looked afraid that those thugs would start on them next.
They must have quite a reputation.
I'll bet it took a lot of guts for those people to call those thugs out - each one definitely was upset about what they were seeing. And each one looked damned afraid.
Not good.
Apparently they've terrorized the entire area.
3 days of suspensions for indirectly killing a dog and causing life long trauma to a veteran is insane
I've watched dozens of these videos but I have to say that this one hits pretty hard. I can't imagine being in his shoes and losing your only solace and friend in the world due to cold blooded cruelty. The actions of these officers is reprehensible and they should absolutely he harshly punished. I just hope that this man gets the justice he deserves and can recover from this absolute nightmare. Nobody acting in good faith deserves this kind of cruelty.
I love it when cops tell citizens "you're not a lawyer" WHEN THEY AREN'T LAWYERS EITHER AND HAVE A HISTORY OF MISUNDERSTANDING, MISINTERPRETING, OR LYING ABOUT THE LAW.
Watching videos of cops get deposed in court makes me realize just how little the average cop knows about the law.
We have always been told, it's not a valid excuse to not knowing the law as a civilian, yet not knowing the law is the exception for an officer.
"OR LYING ABOUT THE LAW"
And that's been upheld by SCOTUS.
Many cops are cops because they are too dumb to be a lawyer.
yep. If a cop ever says "Where'd you get your law degree?" the correct response is "The same place you did"
These cops are absolutely peak level despicable.
Obviously not vets
Then don’t support the cops
@@soto9679 and then what...?
@@MikeJonesV3 let a felon go after you 😂
@@soto9679 fair enough 😄
I love how the Vet cares more about his dog then himself thats admirable
This breaks my heart. I've been homeless in the past, lost everything, and I'm now currently homeless with cancer. Anyone who has ever experienced losing everything and being homeless would NEVER talk to, or treat another homeless person like this. Homeless is the worst, trust me
Hang in there. Praying for you. Praying with you
Remember: it takes only 20 weeks to be a "professional" law enforcement officer, while it's 1-2 years to be certified to do someone's hair.
That's insane, in the Netherlands it takes 2 years to be certified. No wonder so many f-up, 20 weeks is not even half a year.
Only 20 weeks... Holy shit... No wonder they are all psychopaths, nobody verifies their mental background, nobody verifies them being capable of doing the job, and they barely even learn how to polish their shoes for some kind of pretty up duty.
It takes 7 years to become a lawyer in America, and they aren't armed with fucking guns.
I’ve heard lately that it’s now between 12-16 weeks to be certified. Government was able to bring time down.
@@lookdawg187 pretty sure it's 2 years to finish the academy, then you still get your probationary period after before you're even allowed to carry a handgun - unless I'm mistaken on the academy bit.
600 hundred hours of training to be a cop in NC. Over a thousand hours to become a certified hair dresser in NC. I used to be a cop in NC.
So. It's illegal to beg for money. Guess politicians are exempt.
The supreme court ruled on a daytona beach case in florida that it does violate ones speech to arrest or harass or ticket a person simply asking for help. Panhandling. It isnt illegal.
Every time I receive a phone call requesting political donations, I report them to the police department for panhandling.
Alsi florida cannot supercede the supreme court. So if someone is arrested or ticketed for it? Thats a lawsuit. Cops know better. They just know a lot of people wont follow through. Besides they also know there are zero consequences for them if someone does. Qualified immunity needs to end and they need to be held personally responsible. The first million dollar judgement against a cop that he has to personally pay? Yeah other cops around the country will take note. Time to start learning what we can and cannot do. They wont want to lose their pensions and have to pay someone for the rest of their lives. It sounds so simple yet the government wont do it. Just make it their personal piggy banks problem. The taxpayer.
Oh no, you are purchasing that person. They do anything for money if you have enough of it.
Politicians don't beg, everything they do is done at the barrel of a gun
I have no words to express my rage against these two cops. I can belive they did not offer some help rather treated someone who fought for our country this well. One more exaple that veterans in this country are treated like dispossable trash. If there is any justice in this world, he should be given a public apology along with a 500 Million reparation.
Any veteran reading this... thank you for what you have done for me and every other honest American Citizen.
Hearing him cry for help and scared gave me chills as i too was once kidnapped by the police department. Although, I wasn’t assaulted like this vet, i knew my rights were being violated and there was nothing i could do. Thank god my mother was there in time to be a witness before anything else happened.
I find it crazy how cops kill a dog and don't get charged with anything but if a civilian kills or even hurts a police dog it's considered a person. It makes absolute zero sense
So they make sure we know our place.
Welcome to the police state
I never even thought of that but you’re right! That’s hypocritical AF!!!!
It's not just considered a person but it's JUST as bad as if you hurt a human COP!
Yep, harming a police dog is the same charges as assaulting an officer. But they can murder civilian animals even when they aren't a threat without any penalty.
Bullying a homeless, disabled veteran...are we any safer? Can you get any more despicable?
YUP THESE VETS HAVE SEEN ALOT OF HORRIBLE THINGS ,,,,,,,,,AND THAT WILL CHANGE YOU ,,,,,,,
@@gregoryfrickey1715 Exactly. Where is the humanity and compassion? Most of these cops think black and white only. Great cops de-escalate and let the humanity come out. Great cops think about if their actions will make the public safer. Instead these incompetent cops foster distrust in cops with these heartless acts. She comes out of the car and boom, show me your ID. WTF man!
You are safer, cause the cops can’t harass you if they are harassing you as the real danger comes from these cops.
I feel sick after watching this.
It's not only the cops, somone dialed 911 for this
i think tasing a persons medical pet should be taken to the same light as basically kicking a wheel off somebody’s wheel chair, or throwing away somebody’s walking stick.
"Why are you guys hurting my human." "Hes in pain let me help him"
I know Josh. My dad served in Iraq with him. He has the kindest heart out there and has pushed through the very unfortunate hand he has been dealt. He is still deeply affected by this event and has been working hard to get justice over this. Thank you for covering his story; he was so wrongly assaulted.

This is disgusting. They did EVERYTHING in their power to make the situation worse. This entire department belongs at the bottom of a hole.
I live in NC, cops here are trained to escalate. They are 100% quota based employees regardless of what they say. They wanted to arrest and they manipulated the situation to meet their goals.

Crazy how this country has put tyrants in higher regard than our veterans
Its amazing how very few people understand how the world works. The soldiers go out and steal wealth for the "elites", the cops stay home and protect the "elites" wealth.
Veterans have to abide by the laws too
@@richardmyers7847 no shit

The Supreme Court ruled that panhandling is a constitutional right under free speech. It's called called asking for charitable funds. It's no different than firemen asking for money with their boots.
What a heartless community. My prayers go out to this peaceful vet.
As a disabled combat veteran, I’m not even pissed off like I usually would be. This made me cry. Really cut me deep. Everywhere veterans are treated like this.
made me cry too :/
Thank you for serving your land, thank you for risking your life for others, thank you for putting the safety of your land and its citizens before yourself. Thank you from someone not even from the US but from germany. Soldiers are important! in a world where politicians declate war threatening the lives of millions you are the shield to ensure we won't be harmed in any way possible even if you have to give your lives or get disabled in the process.
THANK YOU VETERAN I SALUTE YOU.
I was completely brought to tears 😢 broke my heart
@@ladydeathwingmod118that’s really deep. That’s probably the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me being a veteran. Much appreciated
@@Jpeezy-ds1ce you're welcome :)
This made me tear up. Brooks, the female cop, created the whole situation. She refused to accept that maybe her interpretation of events was wrong and didn't want to hear his side of things. Everything that happened, even indirectly like the death of the dog, was her fault. She is an example of the worst kind of cops: those who see the poor or homeless as less than people and thus not part of the community they serve. Her ego trip caused needless suffering and the death of an innocent animal.
The icing on the cake is her talking smack about him and his dead dog on her social media account. Reprehensible
She's a racist traitor. Just like her partner...
Brooks of all people (black and female) should understand the heartbreak of being marginalized and thought of as unimportant and less than human. Yet here she is inflicting the same pain on a disabled vet.
@@AnthonyT50you think she was marginalized through out her life, she's the type that's played the race and female card to the max, thus her behavior showing us her true colors.
Don't be surprised if she gets a promotion after this.
Did this fool say that the dog bit his boot, but didn’t break it? Does he know how ridiculous that sounds
Great video.
This disgusts me.
If they showed this much disrespect towards a veteran,then imagine how they feel about their own community.
Someone who is willing to hurt an animal on a whim should never be given the power of life or death over a citizen.
🎯
i already knew in the beginning the dog prob gonna get hurt cuz he want to defend his owner, that got attacked. and we know how stupid police is, thinking when they forcefully grab someone, surely the dog aint gonna do anything. Also why are they scared about the dog - that vet grabbed into his backpocket could pull out a gun but they werent scared of that too. They clearly dont know what danger means & are not fit for the job, but we all know how easy it is to join the police force.
Don't look into the ATF's four-legged body count unless you want to have an aneurysm.
After looking at those statutes, he should Sue the county for breaking them... I'm sure they have something like the policeman's ball out there. Actually fuck that lol they probably just get random donations that they accept on the reg when they're not extorting it out homeless vets that is...
Which animal?lol
How dare a peaceful citizen accept a gift from another citizen who willingly gave him a gift.
I guess christmas is cancelled
worse crime then murder.
We can’t have that. It needs to be taxed so it can be added to the police budget.
Can't have the public treating homeless like people, it makes it harder for officers to abuse them.
police can't wrap their heads around random acts of kindness
Harming a service animal given BY THE GOVERNMENT is “damaging Government property.” That’s a federal offense.
Cop: Why are you giving me a hard time while I'm trying to make your life worse than it already is?
The “you’re disrupting traffic” line is hilarious. She has her car parked in a traffic lane, and then another officer pulls up and parks in the middle of the freaking intersection.
Protected classes must not be held accountable or to their word.
And look at the legion of cop cars as far as you can see that end up there obstructing literally everything
Right?! Say he’s disrupting traffic then they literally block the road off😂 fucking hypocritical liars
Yeah, but they're better than a homeless Vet that gave up his life for them! Sad!
They are all lying hypocrites.
That cop wanted to tase the dog so bad. Pretty good indication of the monster he truly is.
Yes agreed that's why he lied. He wanted to hurt us so bad and he accomplished it
He "had to do what he had to do"
@jamesscott6661 you caught that too . Not many people catch that
The American police are the IDF.
They're literally trained in israel. jews write the training manuals and we're all Palestinians now.
He said “he bit me” while the dog was just looking around. He’s a cruel person who has no business wearing a badge.
This is so sad. RIP Sunshine. 💙 you will be missed very much.
Cops must be proud of themselves. I hope their friends and family all see this and realize what kind of monsters they associate themselves with
Let the settlement be taken out of police pensions, let them feel the impact of their negligence.
Absolutely Sickening.
That only occurs when qualified immunity is denied.
That will never happen. Punishment must be by the people
@@vipermikes5547 You mean punishment must be TO the people - the taxpayer must be punished.
I 100% agree, the citizens of that city should not have to pay for these POS cops violating a citizens rights and are directly negligent in the death of his service animal.
your comment shows another injustice to everyone, they'll still get their pensions. :(
That tasing of the dog makes me sick to my stomach. That was INSANELY wrong… not only morally but also criminally.
What's worse, the poor dog died later.
The dog clearly didn’t even bite or attack. That officer is a truly EVIL human being.
That is animal abuse 😢 I couldn’t watch anymore after the tasing
Such a beautiful pup and a beautiful name. That cop is a tyrant. These people are supposed to protect. This is beyond shameful. Terrible terrible human being.
The cop is screaming lies. He is truly a pig.
The fact she is harassing a disabled vet is the biggest issue for me.
I’m absolutely sobbing. What a horrible situation. I cry for him and sunshine both. ACAB! justice for this man and his dog. ❤
They wear body cameras and still lie through their teeth. Deplorable behavior
It’s amazing how body cam footage gets easily misplaced
That is because they can’t mute the audio, pause the video and make the video disappear.
Not only that, they get away with it despite the evidence.
@@jbdragon3295 dass man das Video nicht manipulieren kann ist wichtig ... aber dass dennoch das was im Video zu sehen ist offenbar von niemandem angeschaut wird der Verantwortung übernimmt was noch viel erschreckender ist ...

Disgusting. The whole Gastonia police department sounds like a breeding ground for corruption and abuse.
This is a gang not a police force
And inbreds.
Indeed, it's like a game for them.
Then don’t support the cops
@soto9679 good people usually don't support willful terrorists 😂
He was actually trying to give him his ID… sickening.. not only he serve to defend our country but gets humiliated and treated like a piece of shit in his home land. Thank you for your service and hope everything goes well with your medical treatment. From fellow disabled Veteran. RIP Sunshine… cops need more education training 2yrs of CJ ain’t working.
Arresting a man for not presenting an ID, when it is literally in his hand... there is a special place in hell for the entire police department. You have brought shame upon your entire city. He said he lived in the woods.
This officer needs to be in prison. Outright lying on camera to commit animal abuse
Not "this", "both". Brrrr.
This is not meant to be a racist statement, but living in a predominantly black area, it has been my experience that the black officers in my area have a much more aggressive and almost fear response when faced with my dogs. Now this is just anecdotal, but I’ve had many encounters due to our communities heavy push towards community policing and cops back on the beat walking the same streets as the citizens. Just my two cents.
For his next psychological care animal I recommend the Rabbit of Caerbannog.
Makes you wonder how these 2 to 10 corrupt cops treat their families behind closed doors
9:16 you can hear the dog bite the officer and he only tasted her when she got behind the other officer and barked. The actions the officer took to get to that situation were unjustifiable but he was reasonable in tazing the dog in that situation.
I don't get angry very easily, but watching the reprehensible and pernicious conduct displayed in this video has me absolutely fuming. Those officers had such a vile and observable contempt for this homeless man. So much so, that they deliberately escalated it so they could inflict punishment on him because of it. And the one showing such a lack of empathy to so blatantly lie about his service dog biting him as an excuse to justify using the taser on her. Not because he thought she would bite his partner, but because he knew that doing so would inflict massive emotional anguish to a homeless veteran who they already view as less than human...
And he is a VET..how disgusting
Exactly. They definitely had it out for him and the 1 pos cop lying and tasing the dog is disturbing and the da saying they did nothing wrong is even worse.
Absolutely!
Dude is a loser. Dont want the consequences, dont break the law. Simple. REALLY. FUCKING. SIMPLE.
Anti white racism 100% . People don't call it out but it happens a lot. That's happened to me before.
Liars. The lack of regard and respect for veterans is heartbreaking.
For a veteran to be treated like this and have it be one of the worst days of his life…Rohrer and Sunshine deserved so much better. Such a devastating lack of police work, any semblance of humanity and decency. I’m completely beside myself
Accusing a guy of "interfering with traffic", then continue parking multiple police vehicles in the middle of the intersection. Makes no sense🤦♂️
Because theyre nothing but a bunch of hypocrites! "Rules for thee but not for me" ive been pulled over for having a headlight out (there was actually nothing wrong with the vehicle) and the officers cruiser had a headlight out. I told her that they work fine & when she came back from double checking i told her that She has one out though, thats when she claimed to smell Marijuana.
Kind of like getting a No Seat Belt ticket from a motorcycle cop. That's when you know it's not about safety.
Too bad these "officers" weren't held accountable for the dog's death! Never once did Sunshine stop wagging her tail, raise her hackles, or try to defend the poor owner! I have to say that I cried through this, also. The dog didn't deserve tazing! The officers...how many of them ended up out there? Fifteen? Twenty? And all over a possible $5-10 maximum donation? But what truly broke my heart... Sunshine! My own service dog? She, also, was named Sunshine. And she almost got shot in the backseat of my car when I was stopped for a ridiculous reason that couldn't even justify a ticket. But my Sunshine put her head over the seat, trying to figure out what was happening. Her tail, also, was wagging. I feel so for this gentleman! And not to mention the dog!
“Rules for thee, not for me”

Karma will take care of them sooner or later. How can cops like these sleep peacefully at night?
no, they have be in prison!
I’m from Shelby , NC , which is a town over from Gastonia. Gaston county police force are all crooks. The fact that they tasted the dog angers me to my core . The dog was defending her owner, it’s a service animal. I bet money these officers are still holding a badge.
This made me so sick to my stomach. I literally prayed this guy gets the justice and paycheck he deserves and never has to sleep on the streets again. RIP Sunshine Ray.
Thank you for your condolences and support 🙏
It's amazing how cops can escalate any situation.
Hey, you cannot comment such things in a public comment section, show me your ID, HANDS UP MF IS THAT HA G*N? HE'S GOT A GUN *BOOM*
Oh it was a banana...
How to escalate a situation:
Step 1: issue an order
Step 2: aggressively repeat the order multiple times in quick succession
Step 3: arrest someone for not following your orders nigh instantaneously
Lol
can and will
Meanwhile, the dog that literally just trying to calm things down...
We live in a police state and it's absolutely disgusting
The veteran made one stupid mistake. He told the officers that he was taking it to trial. BIG MISTAKE! NEVER tell an officer that you're going to deer them in court. Stay quiet no matter how mad you may be. By telling them that you're going to fight them will only serve the officer(s) by making the remember more details.
Literally correct, the word police comes from the word policy. Policies are the arbitrary edicts of politicians.
Read George Jackson, the US has always been a fascist country. Connecting the dots puts it in perspective.
the problem probably lies more in the fact that it is too easy to become a police officer, and their education is far too short, and therefore there are too many police officers who are not suitable for the job
@@johnadams8902This isn't true. The word Police comes from the old Greek word Polis- which means city state. It's a 3000 year old word at least, and it's meant to define a legal area or zone. This word is the root for most of the terms we use today. Including politician or politics. Policy is a much newer term that is not used globally. Just within the English language family, and the English common law tradition
I feel like crying!! My daddy was a homeless Vet too ( His mental problems from War caused him to run away) By the time we found him , he was sick with Cancer and dying but We were so relieved to learn he had been with a friend who treated him well and co good cops never had a chance to harm him and harrass him an do him the way these punk cops did this poor man. I'm so sorry for you and Sunshine. she was such a sweetie...
The Federal Government should protect every Veteran!!
As a vet with PTSD, this video was difficult to get through and these lying cops should be fired and charged asap. I'm going to pray for Josh's recovery and hope he gets all of the help he needs. Don't give up brother, you deserve better!
This was so horrifying, I’m in tears. 🥺😢
Sunshine was everything to him. 💔
Police NEED to give veterans the respect they deserve
As a vet with PTSD this video triggered me and I am shaking right now. If I were in that situation I would have reacted much worse than he did and would be lucky to be alive.
I'm not a vet but I do have ptsd from being sa'ed several times in my early teens and it was heartbreaking to see sunshine try to comfort her owner like she was trained then get tased because of it. That officer should've gotten charged and animal cruelty and kicked off the force.
Charged by who? Oh, that's right. Nobody.
I have so much respect for the citizens that showed up to defend him.
Cowards deserve no respect I remember this incident and I was appalled then and I am appalled now . I think this man who lost his child maintained alot better than I would have. also shame on everyone sitting behind that desk.
Every now and then and rare tbh is when you’re watching an audit your face contorts and there’s tears and and mental rage and this is one of them...
Let me get this straight: These two officers arrested a homeless veteran with mental illness for minuscule crimes and then tased his disability support dog?! I have watched many videos on ATA. I have never been so upset at an officer's action. Indeed, "ego" fueled this entire encounter. These officers have the wrong temperament for the job and do not protect and serve. Their actions were egregious across the board and merited the termination of their jobs. Rest in peace, Sunshine.
Not minuscule crimes. Their “local laws” were a violation of the 1st amendment. There was no crime here, and police have acted this way for years. When people allowed police to get away with violating the rights of criminals they opened the door to rights violations across the board. The next time you see someone with a criminal history getting treated this way for no reason it should concern you like it does now. You’d be surprised how many convictions are as false as this arrest.
So what can we do about it?
Rip beautiful dog
@@Smedley-gr3gm Dont ask dangerous questions
the ego thing should be a part of learning in school in our society. but it isnt sadly . it even gets pushed ^^
I am a veteran. I watch a lot of these videos. The thought of him trying to end his own life because the loss of Sunshine, perhaps maybe one of the few true friends he has (not to mention the care she provides for him) literally made me get up and take a moment. How awful, how disheartening, how inhumane this whole situation is.
❤
Brother I couldn't even finish the video this time. Almost (no lie, I am) in tears over this shit!
Heartbreaking. I hope he has a really caring therapist to help him. Incredible that he is a vet with PTSD and must have experienced some terrible things and yet this is what he calls the worst day of his life. He loves his dog.
Cops like this shouldn't be able to be a cop ! It's not illegal to be human ! Cops think things they don't like are crimes smh
OMG I had tears in my eyes seeing this, is this the police who must protect us????
The more and more I’m listening to this story, and when I seen that sunshine, the dog had been hit after running into traffic, knowing that she formed a bond with the veteran who had PTSD and a whole bunch of mental orders, and the fact that he had to go through that after serving our country is really heartbreaking And it hit me really hard to the point of tears because I really felt for him and I really felt for the dog. It is such a shame to see someone who fought for us to be treated so poorly as a civilian they could have just let him go, and it’s just common sense if you see someone is homeless and someone is giving the money why would you let that bother you as long as the guy was packing up and doing what he was told it’s like leave them alone you already know he has mental issues as a veteran and he’s homeless those two idiots get to go home and have dinner with their family and sleep warm beds. That guy was not that much of a threat for them to do all of that I’m sorry and I’m so sorry that he had to go through that and I’m so sorry that he tried to commit suicide because he had mental issues from serving our country and I’m so sorry that he had to lose Probably his only pal and best friend. my heart goes out to them.❤❤❤❤
I have ZERO tolerance for violence against dogs. This officer is trying to get this innocent animal killed for absolutely no reason. Do this to me and I'm definitely going to jail for assault, blue uniform or not. ABSOLUTE TRASH.
Likewise. It takes a special kind of thug to turn his inferiority complex towards a harmless animal that did nothing wrong. And he kept lying about it. Poor dog :(
That man is a sociopath trying to hurt living beings and he jumped at the very first excuse he had. He didn't even mistake the dog for being aggressive. It's obvious the dog is not, but he wanted to hurt it.
My charges would be greater than assault if someone tried doing that to my dog.
Not "trying". Succeeded.
It's a known tactic of the RCMP they'll just shoot your dog for no reason. They've done it several times, caught on camera but no accountability
Our country let this man down in every way possible. Absolutely heartbreaking considering he wouldve gave his life for us
No wonder no one wants to join the armed forces anymore
Amen
And Sunshine gave her life because of their stupidity. Soooo wrong
I believe he DID GIVE his life for us!!! Think about the MAN he was, ie. the basic minium of physical & mental abilities required to enter any branch of military and the man in that video AFTER SERVING IN THE MILITARY!!!! YES... he gave his life & so did Sunshine! But what did they really give their lives for!?!?!
@@katelangmack8257 - Just because some people choose to act badly doesn't mean his sacrifice was in vain. We still have the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They exist.
Just as we are given free will by our creator, those documents affirm our inalienable rights - those we are born with.
Obviously we need a huge overhaul in our education system in general, not only police training. Bring back Civics classes - if people had a better education in how our government works and what those documents mean, law enforcement training wouldn't need basic courses in civil rights. They could teach more than the basics.
A bigger tragedy would be if he sacrificed so much for nothing.
We owe it to our vets to support them when they come home so badly damaged. They deserve our respect and support. The way he was targeted and disrespected by this female LEO is a disgrace. She should know better.
It is up to us to see this is dealt with. Whether you write letters, protest, or are able to donate to his go fund me - that's what you do.
Demand that our veterans be taken care of. If we don't work towards change - then who will?
Also can verify as a resident of N.C., their officers are still corrupt AF! 🤬
When I worked in a youth residential center over 35 years ago, we had a tap out system. Which meant any staff observing another staff getting caught up in a power struggle with a resident, could be tapped out by any other staff. At which point the person tapped out needed to leave the interaction and let someone else take over-even if they believe they were handling the matter appropriately (that could all be sorted out later). Is it really the case that police departments haven’t at least figured that out?
It’s unconscionable to me that we give people guns and the power to detain and arrest us without proper training.
I think the ATA community should leave some respectful and professional complaints about these two officers. They way he lies about the dog bite and his actions to harm the dog are beyond disturbing. Tired of seeing veterans and law abiding citizens treated like trash while violent criminals are on their 10th "second chance"
RIP Sunshine
The DA for saying she reviewed the footage and said they did nothing wrong when you hear the officer say “sunshine bit him” and got on the hood and started barking at the other officer is beyond stupid no way ever did that dog pose a threat to him or the other officer she never even barked so the officer is lying on camera that’s so stupid the DA too should get investigated too smh
I agree 100%
This dude sacrificed his time to help protect our freedoms whilst these pigs treated him like a criminal. This drives me beyond anger to see. They could have spoken to him like equals, and even offered help, but that was not inline with their egos.
THE DOG BIT HIM. IT IS CLEAR IF YOU LISTEN TO 9:17. THE OFFICER LITERALLY REACTS TO THE PAIN AND DIDN'T SAY A WORD ABOUT THE DOG BEFORE THIS. Unbelievable.
This is was is what is wrong with the nation. A diliberate disconnect with reality. You people jump on a bandwagon without any critical thought.
@@hook86 crazy how you can look up your name and your past comments on this page is all pro cop you this guys burner or what ? Also doesn’t show the dog biting him so we don’t know what the noise is for I’m not gonna take his word for it either solely based on the fact he lied about the dog barking which brings to question the validity of his accusation of the dog biting him ?
Wait, did Sunshine die? I missed that part - I had to skip a lot so that may have been part of it. Oh my god that's so awful I feel sick.
A police officer saying "I pay my taxes" to a homeless person, who also is a disabled veteran. Beautiful.
Especially given the fact that Serving the country is a larger payment than money to the IRS.
It's crazy that you are calling people braindead, and you haven't used the only 2 braincells you have to figure out what is being said. Bro is a vet and these cops are remorseless. Most other countries don't treat their vets like America does
@@asimhussain8716diese Leute verdienen es nicht verteidigt zu werden ... sie sollen ihren Job verlieren und bis ans Ende ihrer Tage genauso obdachlos sein wie der Veteran ... wie kann man sojemanden noch verteidigen du bist kein Anwalt das ist nicht dein Job
@@asimhussain8716 what is wrong with you?
@@asimhussain8716 the internet has robbed you of your human compassion, emotions are what make us human to deny their validity for some retarded argument with no relevance on the outcome situation purely for your own satisfaction is sad, I hope you wake up the unlovable husk you have been molded into.
RIP Sunshine 😔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The extent this was brought to, is pure insanity.
Idk how any one person can operate, in daily life this way, especially with completely unwarranted reasoning.
Justice will one day be served. 🤯
"Why are you doing this?!" ....because we're board.
How sick in the head do you have to be to lie your teeth out so that you can "legally" tase a non-aggressive dog with the utmost intent of inflicting pain and mental stress to her disabled owner?? Extremely disgusting!
Not to mention the cognitive dissonance required to demand that the guy call off the dog, *_while_* they're beating him up.
They'll deliberately issue 'commands' their victim can't *_possibly_* comply with, then use that as an excuse to escalate a disgusting situation into something truly vile and evil.
They're thugs.
Well they are black. And they just love to lawfully hurt yt.
The "Black community" has a serious problem with abusing animals. Remember Michael Vick, and all the Black people who supported him and said "they're just dogs"?!
@@stickiedmin6508 everything on this encounter was vile, it's almost a spit on the face how they got away with it, I so very much hope he wins his lawsuit.
Sunshine gets an A+ for doing her job perfectly and being a very good girl. RIP
Great doggo
As A Veteran Seeing This Makes Me Sick. He Protected Your Rights That These Cops Violated. Thats Sad And Pathetic.
This is my hometown.. thank you for bringing light to this situation.. much appreciated sir❤
Being a dog owner, this case immediately hit me hard. Sunshine was clearly a good and beautiful dog. I feel so bad for him losing his best friend. It brought tears to my eyes. These cops are tyrants and deserve to lose their jobs for this. It's very scary to think that this could happen to me and it'd be completely out of my control.
I had to scroll for sometime before finding a post that had sunshine in mind. I am disappointed in having to do so. Thank you for being the one to talk about it. I wish I had room for this man at my home. I’ve got two dogs that would love to be there for him. God that rest sunshine. And God bless all the animals who have helped the veterans come home and be at peace through the years. They are another group of truly unsung heroes
They need to rot in prison for this
It made me cry too, these officers picked on him and he clearly lied because he wanted to hurt the dog to hurt the guy. Disgusting, I hope they get karma BIG time
@@jessschwarze8126 Same i was wishing for good happy with sunshine but no
Same!
As a vet, it was extremely painful to watch this. I just can't imagine the complete lack of empathy and compassion from the Gastonia PD and the DA. They need a complete re-vamp. Thank you for covering this and I hope to hear a positive update for Mr. Roher. I am so sorry about the loss of Sunshine and I hope there is some measure of justice for such a good dog.
My pops was army for 34 years. Poor, working class and was recruited at 16. Spent his life doing what he thought was serving his country, comes home and the average person has no respect or regard for vets. Doubt he gives a shit, but I do. I don’t know what I’d do if someone treated him like this. God bless brotha
As a vet. I agree. Was not expecting this, this morning. Some sad shit.
This was one of the hardest videos I’ve ever watch as a current soldier I can’t even imagine what he was been through and hope for the best brother.
Revamp will never come.
Nobody will ever care.
He will win a Lawsuit, get a metric ton of money, and likely Odee.
The money given, will be paid out by tax payers.
The Cops involved, even after committing
• Animal Cruelty • Assault • Unlawful Arrest • Attack of a Veteran • many more.
Will still be on duty.
This one was hard for me to watch, I stopped when it looked like the cop was gonna deploy the taser on the dog. Is the dog okay?
THIS EPISODE INFURIATED ME SO MUCH THAT MY KNUCKLES WENT WHITE. I NEED an update on the lawsuit!
These "cops" need to go to prison. I am so increasingly sad at these individuals who seem to think some people are below them; no matter race, creed, whatever. They need to be taught otherwise.
they would be if it was the other way around, double stander.
The end of qualified immunity can't come quick enough.
Guess it’s not just white cops who act like this, eh?
Love how these 2 cops just made at least 3 more citizens not trust the police with their actions.
Don't forget the ripples, the people around those 3 people everyone watching the video
@@reapersritehandwell, chances are high this changed nothing at all.
@OurFamily- unfortunately you're most likely right, but hopefully some people are waking up to this crap, and as the video shows the people in that town are becoming more aware
Make that 4
Judging from the 600,000+ views and 10,000+ comments on the video thus far, I'd speculate that number is substantially higher.
This one really got to me. I suffer from anxiety and depression, and have the sweetest and most friendly German shepherd. He is more important to me than my life, and if something happened to him I don’t know what would happen to me but it would be very bad.
What a shame & despicable! All of those police should be in prison
