I think the target employee who called the cops should get a F, also. He’s taking too long, so instead of having an employee assist the man, who clearly has issues, you go and call the cops? Despicable. The cops have no shame either, treating him like that.
This was my thought
He already makes it so clear in the video that there's no for sure if the target employee actually did tell them anything about him. Target called about the actual shoplifter. There's no valid evidence the employee asked the officers to get the disabled man out.
I heard the 911 call it was a target employee @@gagesons9006
@@gagesons9006"....there's no for sure if the ..." ? ? ? 🤷
It seems to me that they showed up to get a shoplifter, but maybe missed them. Then loss prevention guy complained about the disabled man tumbling with his cash at the self checkout. They must have assumed he was drunk or a drug addict. If they did tell the cops to remove him, they changed their story real quick, and threw the cops under the bus in that one... Either way, the cops should have known way better than to handle that like that. I think the guy has grounds to sue the store, and the cops. I hope he does.
"I have the right to remain silent" tear to my eye, this man is obviously mentally challenged, but he's still aware of his rights as an American.
It’s so infuriating that no one treated him like a human being. He’s struggling and nobody helps him, they just decide to inflict more suffering on him. God it’s so infuriating
I hope he owns target after this. Fu together with the fn police
@@cargopilotguy305because he isn't a human being. He's a subhuman who should have been terminated as soon as his disability was determined. Likely prenatal
@@cargopilotguy305yes or leave him alone. He's clearly a target so needs to know his rights.
Fully aware of his rights
I didn't get 3 minutes into this without asking "why didnt they just help him"? The police, target someone could have helped him. this was a horrible show of humanity.
Thank you.
The right to remain silent does not mean you do not have to identify yourself or respond to officers commands, it means that during a criminal investigation you do not have to answer questions if detectives are investigating a crime. An officer asking you to identify yourself is not a crime being investigated.
@@DCShaneTours what does that have to do with my comment?
Right? It’s so ridiculous.
A little bit of patience and compassion and this whole situation could have been avoided.
Instead they go straight to use of force and arrest, just disgusting.
Probably because police quotas don't count helping people.
"Don't catch a Felony charge by hittingme or anything"... THAT just shows their malicious and criminal intent to destroy a person's life.
Absolutely Pathetic.
Happened to me.
New mexico police? DID HE SAY NEW MEXICO🤣🤣🤣😭😭 AHHHH ITS OKAY. You may have 10000s of these videos to enjoy HANDSOME POLICE. We all seen the real actual footages of . NARCOS. Related. 🤣🤣😭 MAN SIR ESCOBAR. I understand why those people . JUST SAW SOME POLICE STANDING THEN. NEXT FOOTAGE. 🤣🤣🤣✊🏿🫶🏾 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@@farhanhasin9487Dude, what the f*ck are you on?
When cops get fired,they should lose their certification, and be charged criminally for their actions.
Barbarians with badges.
So should politicans who vote for unconstitutional laws.
Here, Here!!
*lose
and be neutered.
"All I was doing was paying for my things" It would have taken the officers 5 seconds to show compassion to this man and help him. They are awful human beings.
Good point
All cops are.
@@johnparkin7872 No, not all cops are. Lying and slandering also makes YOU an awful human being.
@dpastor6631 Okay, just most and all good or bad know about the bad cops actions and do nothing making them too a bad cop.
In the ole' days we called it common sense
Target is such a disgrace! He took too long because of disabilities?
Everyone watching this video should stop shopping at Target.
Another reason I don't shop at Target
Target be like: "We're not like Walmart, we don't show empathy for the disabled"
They started receipt checking at my local Target. I just laughed at them and walked by. Haven't been back since and won't.
Normal workers in Australia, at least that I've witnessed, will offer assistance!! I hope whoever called the cops is fired and charged for SOMETHING cause what the fk??
I am a man living with a disability myself. It takes me a little more time to figure things out. So to be abused and dragged out of a store for taking too long is unreal. If that was me I would remain silent and wait for my lawyer. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR FOR A COP!!
Here it is again. Kicking down as a power play against a weaker individual; beginning with the Target employee and involving law enforcement with power egos showing how important and disgusting they can be. All this poor man deserved was a little help and understanding. Nice going guys. Hope you all slept well.
And if you think about the context, the reason he was taking too long was likely related to using a self-checkout machine. That's why stores should not remove all the customer service staff because they ARE needed to help people.
This poor man has more intelligence than 3 police officers. This is absolutely sickening and bullying.
And he was declared incompetent to stand trial. Let that sink in.
To be fair, it doesn't take much to have more intelligence than a cop. With that said, the man is probably more intelligent than most of us out there.
@@Oneofakind123 speak for yourself lmao
A rock has more intelligence than 3 officers combined
@@EvanLandry221 no, he speaks for all of us.
Remember the Georgia Guide Stones ? 7.5 billion people have to die ? Forgot about that ? YES YOU DID !
Poor guy was deemed "too incompetent to stand trial", yet, he STILL knew (and stood up for) his rights *MUCH* better than the majority of people _without_ disabilities. Dude's a freakin' role model if you ask me!
And the pigs, being the socialist parasites they are, made up a crime to arrest him and tried to ruin his life. Nice huh?
Facts
W comment.! I do hope the officers get what they deserve and removing those who don’t uphold the law in keeping citizens/public safe.
1000%
That's a great thing to say and I agree....
As a retired peace officer I'm absolutely disgusted by these former officers, who never should have been LEO'S in the first place.
I saw multiple opportunities to serve the public in this situation and leave a positive impression of law enforcement and the department. Everyone involved could have walked away from this in a better position than when it began.
Bottom line, they blew it!
They could have just helped him with his
Purchase then he would have left
If i was in that store, i would have gone to jail. No way i can keep my mouth shut! This pisses me off!!!!!
Same here. Anyone who witnesses this and chooses to stay silent is just as guilty.
I probably would've gone to jail, too. How can anyone watch this and not do anything
The employee who called the police that initiated this pathetically sad display of inhumanity should be fired as well.
If following the train of thought in the video, the police were called for another potential shoplifter. This was a side action on their part. This would explain why he happen to be still counting his money to pay the machine.
@MrBeevee5 While I can see your flimsy justification, noone was arrested for the original call which probably means their proof was just as flimsy. The police weren't even sure what the employee wanted them to do, with the shopper in this clip. Again, pathetically sad showing of inhumanity for no reason.
ABSOLUTLEY
It's Target. They won't call the cops when men go into the bathroom with little girls.
But this guy is the threat.
Continue to boycot target
I can absolutely see this being a misunderstanding, like "hey, while you are here, go help that guy" being interpreted as "help us with that guy". The police were apparently called for an actual criminal, this just happened on the side.
One of the saddest aspects is that this poor man tried to dial 911 for help, little realizing that the bullies attacking him were police officers.
This right here is the epicenter of why I’m so angry. The very people who he was hoping would assist are the ones who are molesting him.
Literally nearly broke my heart seeing him try to call 911. What is going on here that no one can realize this guy needs help not violent force.
Did the police know this person was handicapped ?
@@paulchrenko7159I thought he was an alcoholic at first
@@pepperroni4016Either way, he was CLEARLY not violent, and was only trying to make a purchase; whether he was disabled OR impaired, what he needed was HELP. He did NOTHING to deserve his abysmal treatment, and should have sued over it. These kind of cops are a stain on the otherwise heroic profession, and are the reason why GOOD cops are mistrusted and disliked by association. They NEED to be sued to send a message that such abuse of authority will NOT be tolerated by the citizens who employ them.
Someone needs to represent Mr. Mcmannus, sue Target, for going against his disabilities, and sue the APD, for how he was treated, and his arrest.
Cops are useless
Yes please
Oh I'm sure one of these greedy lawyers already has.
@@tvancini
Oh ya lawyers are sooo greedy for helping people fight corruption.
Working on it
It tore me up seein his money all over the register and NO ONE in that whole area offered/wanted to help him check his stuff out 😢
The lack of compassion from Target and the Police is disgusting.
It’s target. They’re just a higher priced version of Walmart. Same freaks of nature walking around the stores regardless
@@robertsmalls3513hey this man might have had mental issues...but he's not a "freak" dude damn
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@jer280 I meant the workers when I said that. Perhaps I wasn’t clear, but I just meant you can’t expect Target to be nice just cause they aren’t Walmart
Why would either care? Neither of the corporations they work for show compassion to them, why would they to us?
ALL 3 officers AND the Target employee who called the police should go to jail AND pay restitution to the guy.
Fact!
They dragged him out of the store for taking too long. There own words where taking too long. Absolutely vile excuses for human beings.
For some reason we don't really know anything about what the Target employee said.
Overwhelming TRUE this video deeply bothered me dude they should all be charged
luckily even 100 years ago people saw the danger of weak tilted minds driven by impulsive emotions like you and so laws got written on paper deciding on your punishment
He may have just saved up enough money for that bike and was so excited to finally purchase it… and then this happens
Another reason to NEVER set foot in a Target ever again. Absolutely disgusting how the police treated a clearly disabled man. All anyone at Target or the police needed to do was help him pay for his items.
After seeing this I will never shop there anymore. Absolutely disgusting How this Man was treated. 🤬
I’ve never been in a target… once I heard years ago that they wouldn’t allow the Marines toys for tots to set up in front of the store…french owned company…fuck them
arresting a disabled man for taking too long at the self check out is the most disgusting thing i've seen. I hope this man sues both the police and Target.
I guarantee you there will be a lawsuit. If I were a civil liberties lawyer in the State of New Mexico, this would be the easiest slam dunk case in the history of cases where both entities would be paying out of their nose. Unfortunately for the APD, it would be the taxpayers paying, but I’m sure your usual lawyer won’t mind as long as they’re getting a nice fat commission out of the deal.
The worker who raised the alarm with her manager and the manager who called the police were both fired. I hope they are both sued into oblivion.
@@TheUnknownDungeonI don't understand why they didn't just help him complete his purchase
@@msyemisi7930 racism.. discrimination against the disabled.. your guess is as good as mine. However if it's anything like the retail workers I've worked with, then they refused to help him because they were lazy and helping people with learning disabilities can be too much for some people. They don't have the patience for it. I've had co-workers literally stop helping a disabled person the moment they get irritated and they would leave the disabled person in the hopes that they would just go away.
There is no such thing as compassion in retail. Just impatience and intolerance.
Pieces of shit wtf is wrong with "don't catch a Felony charge fir hitting me or anything" bruh.... the fuck is wrong with?
His charges were dismissed because he “was not competent enough to stand trial.” Bullshit. That man had more knowledge about the law than all of those cops combined. They dismissed the charges because it was an embarrassment to the department and to the city. They took advantage of this man’s disability and used it as a convenient excuse to save face. Shame on them.
We need to bring this up again in this city. Make this the Pd catphrase “we blame everyone else for our actions” 👍🏻
They protect their own
Hard time..... nothing less....
Exactly
It was an illegal arrest to begin with, hence the charges were dropped.
Crazy that guy is ADA and still knows his rights better than 75% of American
My blood is boiling I can’t stand for any disabled person being blatantly abused like this.
I can't stand to see anyone mistreated, even criminals have rights. It's sad really that we ask Joe Blow to conduct themselves in the confinement of the law but those obligated to uphold the law want to get a pass.
Definitely goes against the teachings in scripture a thing that the majority of people claim that they serve. Shalom, L'hllel, Amen.
As a father of a special needs child this is a nightmare scenario and shows the lack of humanity within these officers. Disgusting
that's the reason why it's incredibly important channels like this exist. It's amazing to me how many people genuinely believe it's RARE that people in power abuse it just because people in power are so good at covering it up.
I'm hopeful we're slowly starting to enter an era where people in power are finally being held accountable for their actions. It's still going to take a long, long time though...
I guessed they missed all the common signs of a disabled person.
@@nepdisc3722 its important to remember this didnt start with the Police, its just as much Targets fault. They could have easily helped the man with little trouble but instead wanted "the problem" to go away. I find both equally at fault and mostly sad for the lack of human compassion showed by everyone in the video. The target loss prevention person needs to be held accountable as well. I hope this gentlman sues both parties.
@@DivisionStreetDrums it's disgusting how people behave now, not only in public but while ON CAMERA. So many people just fundamentally lack shame AND empathy. I sincerely hope things don't trend this way further.
Wow. I'm literally shaking while watching this.... I can't believe ANYONE could be so heartless.
Situations like this are why “Just obey the law and you won’t get bothered by police” is a fundamentally flawed argument… It is incredibly important to know your rights!
That part
No one in history has ever complied their way out of tyranny. Though many people still keep trying the same thing repeatedly, expecting different results
🎯
@@thehimself4056have I ever told you the definition of insanity?
You want to hear something even funnier? Well I will tell you anyway lol. People are afraid of their neighbors so they hire those same neighbors to protect them. Cops are picked from the same people we are afraid of, how does that make sense? Cops aren't from some far off place where they are completely without bias they have bias and it can effect how they handle situations so they get to do almost anything they want and most of the time aren't held responsible
This could have soooooo easily been a nice, feel-good story about officers helping a disabled man in need.....
Target better pay up!! They caused this, clearly he wasn’t stealing anything, had his money out, but was physically disabled, had a hard time with the cash. What a rotten company!
The saddest part to me is that the disabled guy thought they were security and tried to call 911 because he couldn’t believe the officers would treat him this way … oh you poor sweet summer child
They do the exact same thing to mentally insane people every. single. day.. what is the diffference???
That is depressing.
Way to be condescending
He obviously has a mental disability, no reason to call him naive for trying to call 911
TARGET are 100% complicit in this action.
Shame on them !!!! 🤬😡
I hope he sues.
Target should ban all 'law enforcement' below a certain conduct standard.
On duty cops are not Target employees,
they do not speak for Target,
they do not enforce Target store policy.
Totally agree. They stood by and watched. I'm shocked no one stepped up or said anything. I get people are in a rush. But if I saw that I like to think I would have stepped in and spoken up defending this man😢😢
Target hates its customers!
Should start a boycott target over this
End qualified immunity... what a horrible cop.
This man was CLEARLY disabled.... this whole video was sickening. The second they realized that they should've HELPED this man. They failed him on so many levels that both the store and the police should be sued into the ground.
Mr McMannis gets an A, for calling these cops FAKE and asking for a lawyer.
I was surprised he didn’t receive a rating. He did better than a lot of “competent” people would have done. Good on him for asserting his rights.
He’s surprisingly perceptive: he knew they were mall security before they did!
@@Rickmakeswhoa there buddy, you saying disabled people are incompetent? I hope that's not what you're implying
@@brianbadonde9251no your one of the "competent" people he's talking about😂
i hope he isn't implying that!!!!!!@@brianbadonde9251
Every single person who saw this man struggling and didn't try to help, failed him. Society sucks.
As soon as the video starts rolling I'm scanning the background for people who are concerned too.
I've seen some pretty bad videos, but this one tops it for me because, as you point out, no one done a thing. It's such a depressing video.
youre confusing society with america
@@acesneeks *Multicultural (lol. lmao.) dystopian 'society'
Rome is burning.
Exactly he clearly needed some help and he gets treated like this instead
My hands are trembling as i type this.... my blood is boiling. How can you interact with this guy and not immediately think "ah shit, ok boys lets just get him checked out and out the door." He clearly hasn't broken any laws and those 3 cowards were begging to arrest him from the start. Youre on the scene, you have someone who represents target and the ability to use the smallest amount of common sense and compassion and work this shit out.
I've been working for Target for a couple of months now. I just got switched from seasonal to full employment, which came with a bunch of computer based training. One of them was on equity which covered situations just like this. The fact that they have an entire CBL on this topic and any of the leads at that store not only allowed this to happen but orchestrated it makes me sick. Just goes to show how much of it is just show boating for the sake of appeasement.
Failing to hold the additional cops responsible as co-conspirators is outrageous. Cops must not be granted the Nuremberg defense.
Then 98% of U.S cops will either be hanged or jailed for life.
Lol Nuremberg.
If you violate a persons rights under color of law, 10 years in prison should be the punishment.
Nuremberg sentencing should be granted instead.
@@powerhouse8310Do you even know what the “Nuremberg defense” is? Somebody doesn’t need to face the gas chamber to be a victim of the “just following orders” attitude by government officials. 🙄
That "None of your business..." put the biggest smile on my face. Disabled or not, he know what he didn't have to give out. And he was right when he said "You're not police", they were just bullies.
Amen brother. The man is just doing his best. He's not fucking dumb ya know 😢
Exactly
The APD has decades of incidents just like this, or worse. Incident after incident after incident, after incident, year after year, after year, after decade, after decade. They are not just "bullies" they are incompetent, inhuman, anti-human criminal thugs.
One of my first memories is walking down the hallway in my home, a 2 yr old dressed in pjs. A very tall APD officer dressed in all black scowling at me. He never changed his scowl and never said a word to me. He scared the hell out of me and I went back to my room.
The APD is rotten to the core and has been for as long as I have been alive.
Thank you for shedding light on these issues
This isn't law enforcement, it's domestic terrorism.
Him wanting to call the police to come and help him and they're actually there is absolutely heartbreaking
So crazy ffs
This is tough to watch. If it is that hard to watch how could none of the officers recognize how bad this makes them look and their department. Gross
...and the sick egotistical cop waited and watched - even told the others to wait - while he dialed 911, only to force him into cuffs when he finally got through - like a schoolyard bully. Disgusting.
Though he was mistaken, he thought the cops were security guards, clearly understood the difference and understood that security guards might present themselves as police and would not have the right to arrest him. He understood that he had done nothing wrong and protested the legitimacy of the arrest. These factors argue against the severity of his disability. It seems it was primarily the strangeness of his vocal tone that caused the judge to deem him incompetent to stand trial, robbing him of his right to defend himself in court.
Simply having difficulty managing a self check-out is certainly not a reason to trespass a customer from a store. These services are not always easy to use. I have had trouble doing so at times and there is always a clerk available to provide assistance. Target's response to this incident was outrageous. Moreover, the result was simply that the store lost a sale and a customer.
@@charleshuguley9323well if I ever have a choice between Target and something else it'll be something else even if twice the price.
So they lost another customer.
Dear police lovers, the next time you say to someone “If you haven’t broken the law you don’t have nothing to worry about “ remember this video
Heck yea!!!
That’s why you judge people individually on basis of character
If they were rational and cared about evidence or justice, they wouldn't be defending police in the first place.
@@wyattfields5580
Problem is these police lovers also known as bootlickers back the blue no matter what. It doesn't matter what they do they turn a blind eye and then go overboard praising any officer doing their job the way they should be anyhow.
“If you haven’t broken the law you have something to worry about” is what you wrote means.
Unfortunately I went to school with Kenneth Skeens. He was pretty unhinged in highschool but didn't seem like the type to be like this. Crazy to see one of my favorite CZcams channels talking about him.
This was absolutely heartbreaking. These officers were/are the absolute pinnacle of heartless and ignorant in their outright discrimination. Zero human compassion was shown. Why were police even called on a gentle disabled man not disturbing the peace in any way?
Everyone in a management role of this target should be fired.
Why couldn’t someone help him check out 😢
Na not with this Monday work ethic and accountability.
@@jb-lm7rdwhoever called the cops without attempting to speak to the man should be fired for certain
...which means these Target Scums are now fully qualified for their new jobs as Police Officers.
Until the US starts to treat their workers with respect, ie, paying them a reasonable amount including holiday pay and sick pay they won't give a proverbial sh*t. The land of the greedy and the home of the coward, enough said
The employees at Target also need to be held accountable.This whole incident would never have happened if the employees at Target hadn’t of gotten this ball rolling.
why didnt they just help him??
@paulrichards6894
Because they are lazy.
@@robertfodstad7548they can't even figure out which changing room to use
One of the channels I follow called the store.
They know nothing! Never happened! No idea what he’s talking about! Nobody was there!
@robertfodstad7548 agreed instead of helping they had the time to call police but not help him purchase the bike
Bravo for this coverage. Thank you for the great coverage on important issues.
Watching this almost brought tears to my eyes. This is a sad and terrible case of all that you have outlined. The guy should sue Target and the Police dept that wrongfully arrested him.
I can't believe Target hasn't gotten more press for this. The police were definitely wrong, but this could have 100% been avoided if Target didn't call them in the first place.
They called for another shoplifter that had already left and where already on scene and that’s when they somehow decided to go mess with this man. I hope they both pay him very well
Somebody needs to put target on blast. Target is definitely discriminating against this customer. I can’t put into words how I feel about the police officers involved. All 3 of them should’ve been fired
Disabled doesn't mean stooopid
It's all about racism and discrimination. As a former officer with Houston PD in Texas, when off duty, on my regular daily basis I observed two Walmart employees following. I showed them my receipt and all went fine. When I was walking in the parking lot I was stopped by a security guard, showed him receipt as well. I picked up my car and went home. And this happened just because I'm of a Mexican origin.
Seriously, just have someone help the guy pay for goodness sake... Even if Target did ask the cops to remove him they should have known that was illegal.
Their lack of compassion for a person who is clearly disabled is absolutely disgusting!!
I literally started tearing up just watching him at the checkout trying to buy his items. Is it that complicated to just ask another human "are you ok and do you need any help?" Imagine how far that would have gone!
I tend to lack empathy myself but this video made me want to vomit 😢. Are they even human?
My dad had Huntingtons Disease, i wouldve thought pretty confidently that he was a tweaker had i not experienced it. Without experiencing disabilities and abusers in your environment being commonplace, it makes it easy to quickly decide if someones worth the sympathy. Yes, I am saying active junkies may earn less patience or sympathy and thats okay with me.
Police are disgusting period.
Nonsense. He was reducing the efficiency of their auto check out lanes. He can shop elsewhere if he's not capable of functioning in their stores. Also, retarded people are a real inconvenience. They are worse than people with children. He should be put in an asylum for his protection and ours.
I hope the NM AG said "Sucks to suck" when delivering the charges on Skeens. What a disgusting human being.
Here's a radical idea: how about helping the guy.
This whole encounter just made me sick to my stomach.
I have a 14 y/o disabled daughter and THIS RIGHT HERE is why the wife and I are so overprotective of her. Demons, tyrants, and evil of all kinds prey on the disabled, but to wear a shield backed by public trust & abuse someone who is CLEARLY disabled goes beyond anything described previously. That's a special level of contemptible excuse for a human being.
❤
Human being?
Mindless-imbeciles.
It doesn't matter to a cop. To them, contempt of cop is contempt of cop regardless of who did it. I know plenty of cops and let me tell you. Believe me when I say that they have no sympathy or empathy for anyone besides other cops
Very well said sir!!!
❤
This whole encounter was disgusting. That poor guy had money & was just trying to pay for his things. Shame on everyone involved!
Simple answer.
Oh you’re having problems? Well maybe this machine is broken. Let’s cancel the transaction and take you to customer service to get you all fixed up.
@@madtabby66 Even if the store employees didn't want to help the man, the police should've assisted him and protected his rights to shop there. To serve and protect literally is the central mandate of their job.
It was also a failure because of those goddadmn self checkouts. A real clerk could have handled this easily.
@@CytoplasmicGoo It is literally their job to do that.
@@CytoplasmicGoo nah that's the old mandate. The new one is "to punish and enslave"
heart breaking is that the poor guy is saying he was treated like this before, by some security guys
Not only the cops should be sued, but the store should be sued too.
Boycott target
@@nathanielm77 I already do.
@@Redmow51 I’ve been boycotting Target for a while too but this is another reason to
@@nathanielm77 Yep. I'm getting sick of these stupid corporations.
As the father of two handicapped children, this breaks my heart and infuriates me. I can safely assume it took years to teach the victim to be able to go to the store independently, understand police and security, count money, and so on. Yet the store personnel and police unraveled all that in mere moments… sigh
And to tell him he can never come back to a store that is probably one of few he is close to and feels comfortable shopping at…heartbreaking and enraging.
Heartbreaking.
THIS! My husband and my brother in law have mental disabilities, and it’s such a long process for them to feel confident in themselves to go through the motions of life with their struggles, but for even cops, people who are supposed to pick up on these signals specifically, to ignore them all and act like this is purely infuriating
yes exactly. i imagine the young man is still closely supported by family members and are probably so proud that he has developed some sense of independence. the fact those police officers treated that young man in such an inhumane way was truly shocking and profoundly sad. i cannot understand how not one of the officers prevented this. The fact that the Target employee thought it was right to call the police and have the guy thrown out is equally disgusting. They were all effectively operating under the same principle, that they can prey on and bully and exclude and abuse someone who is "weak". What a horrible horrible thing.
I loved your comment. It was probably a proud thing for the man in this video to be able to handle this on his own. He got a bit confused. Hell, I get confused in those self-check-out lines myself sometimes! The Officers? They were clearly dealing with a mentally incapacitated human being, but they handled him as if he was a criminal. The cop doing all the talking is an animal. His two co-conspirator cops are also animals because they didn't stop this stupid arrest. They deserve whatever hell they go through, especially Skeen, who was in charge.
All 3 cops should be in jail ...period ....
This is really heart breaking. These cops need to meet the man upstairs
In the worst and slowest of ways.
That fact that a human being looks at this and feels ‘arrest’ is the answer and not ‘help’ is beyond me. Prisons are filled with people like this.. what time are we living in?
Are they filled with people like this? I think you're thinking of care homes. He's just slow cause he's debilitatingly disabled and Target having a disabled customer dragged out cause he's not paying quick enough is just a level of corpo dystopia that makes cyberpunk look like an afternoon prancing around a sunny meadow.
2000s.
Not to mention the pigs who just roll with it. It's sickening that the nightmares authors used to posit to us all turned out to be dreams.
MAGA Republican time
Yeah, seriously. How disconnected to you have to be to not look at this guy and feel pity instead of aggression?
I’m actually in tears, this man was trying to do everything right. All they had to do was show one tiny amount of empathy. Everything in this interaction is completely disgusting.
Meanwhile Target would treat actual criminals better.
Great post....
"Man you are having trouble checking out? Can we help? Let's get this paid for and get you moving"
How the cops should have handled this.
Well said.
@@buck45osu That's right. They would have been viewed as serving and protecting and doing a kind deed, instead they chose to by bullies as many do. The police culture is broken.
What’s with those cop’s portraits? Making a tough guy face like that is a sign in itself of a bad attitude and the self esteem issues of a professional bully.
This is one of the WORST cases of lack of public service and empathy I've ever seen
“Well sucks to suck man” when he said he was getting a lawyer is absolutely disgusting conduct from the officer.
This was hard to watch…I hope Mr. M is doing ok. Proud of his legal team for taking appropriate action.
'I did not see you where cops!' 'we cant help it that you are that slow' (or words to that effect). I was like: WHAT. ARE. THEY. SAYING!
I always hated cops, but these cops... I DESPISE.
“You’re under arrest for resisting arrest”, lol no underlying charges, and then “refusing to provide his name”, which are basically “secondary charges”, with no underlying initial charges.
This behavior is shameful and disgusting.
I've been arrested for resisting arrest. All I did was ask why I was being arrested. I didn't physically resist. They said I was under arrest, I put my hands out to be cuffed. They tackled me down and told me I was resisting. Spent the weekend in jail before arraignment. Felony conviction for asking why I was being arrested.
Didn't find out until later that they had originally stopped me for a traffic warrant. I'd forgotten to pay a ticket. They never told me that on the scene of the arrest or the entire weekend I spent waiting to see a judge.
After the arraignment for felony resisting arrest they sent me home. Didn't even hold me on the traffic warrant.
It's been 20+ years, my license is still suspended because NJ invents new surcharge fines every year for old tickets. I haven't even lived in that state since 1999. Every time I paid them they would create another fine and keep me suspended.
Any interaction with cops can screw up your entire life forever.
I went through the same thing in 2020. I have a 42 minute video posted on my channel with all the statutes that exempted me from every charge that the police officer you legally filed against me. What makes it even worse is that my charges were not dismissed like they should have been instead the district attorney and the judge is all conspire to convicted me even though it's a hundred percent against the written statutes of Pennsylvania.
I was arrested and ticketed for obstructing my arrest because I refused to tell police where I lived.
@@kaindabadguy technically, you are required upon your notification of being arrested, to provide certain information, or be charged with a crime, this requirement can vary in scope, depending upon the state in which you live.
They are supposed to only be legally entered to the name, and the date of birth, but some will try to extend this to include location information like address and telephone numbers.
@@LuckyCharmsMiniFarms with respect to “the law” it’s obvious that when the people, catch the government doing wrong, the government can, and will find some way to try to hang a “case” around the neck of their victims…
They do this to our “First Amendment, Rights, Auditors”, to ensure that they can’t continue to hold police and government entities, to account…
This is sad and sickening at the same time! If Target did tresspass him, he has one hell of a lawsuit against them and the officers!
This is sickening!!
The lack of empathy of these officers is extremely scary! Clearly sociopaths that need to be fired, and blacklisted for LIFE to ever become a law officer again.
That's all over our country today
It's not even empathy it's just being a human. A proper human a decent human. You don't have to give others the world... but a cheesy grin and a hand always helps
Most are. They’re not trained properly nor are the right people recruited personality wise
Nah they will just jump two towns over and start at pretty much the same rank and pay because there is no reason to ever take issue with any cop... /s
Nah man let them be cops just take away anything they have to defend themselves so if they go into a dangerous situation they’re as good as useless, that’s karma
I’m only 2.5 minutes into this episode and it’s clear that kindness and compassion would have resolved this so easily. 🙄🙄🙄
Yes, 'can I help you?' 'I am trying to get my money out to buy this bike' 'oh, is it ok if I help you? I am security, you can trust me' 'oh ok, its 281 dollar' 'lets see, you have 180 on the table, we need 100 and then we need another 1' 'here is 1' 'sure thing, now all we need is 1 hundred' 'a twenty here' '80 to go' '10' '70 to go' 'I have 100 here, now its too much' 'thats ok, you can take 30 from the pile, now its exact, lets count the bills on the table together: 1 hundred, 2 hundred, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 1. See? 281 dollar' (cash register sounds) 'thank you' 'you are welcome'
But no. We get 'police' 'protecting and serving' the sh*t out of this man.
I live here too. Target will never get another dime from me.
@@baskoning9896 I've never heard an American officer say 'Can I help you?' without it being a sarcastic rhetort aimed at someone who was trying to do the right thing by interfering with an illegal stop or detainment, typically someone they went on to brutalise or wrongfully arrest.
Wow ! Absolutely unbelievable
Wow……this is THE most shameful policing I’ve seen yet……….I’m actually fcking speechless.
This is unbelievable. How could the three grown adults not realize this man had special needs? This literally makes me sick.
Bold of you to assume they didn't realize. It's much more likely that they don't give a fuck.
@@davereeves1967No need to attribute malice to complete stupidity.
I hate that there were customers in side the store that just did nothing.
They knew the whole time. You think they care? All it means is they got an easy prey/target and can abuse him to their heart's content.
@@seamusperkins2526Malice was the outcome of stupidity. Whether they meant it or not, they could not go forward in this manner without having any regard for others, that is evil intent to me.
Everyone of those 3 cops 🐷 should have been charged over the abuse and harm carried out to that poor man. Totally shameful!
Cops are people. All people are bound to mistakes. Reasons why cops should have regular 3rd party audits
*hanged
Actually they are shameless
@@EternalResonancecops shouldnt make mistakes like this youre a bootlicker
@EternalResonance you can make a 'mistake ' and still get 20 years. This a was not a 'mistake ' . Clearly deliberate and indicative of their lack of training. Amazing.
The way a couple of them adjusted their tones as they spoke with him, they obviously suspected he had some sort of disability in comprehension yet they still continued. That was their moment to take a step back and reconsider the situation and change the course and trauma for this poor man. Shameful.
This is the state of policing in America. When McDonald's, wendy's, burger king, and Walmart turn down your application you can always become a cop in a few short weeks.
This needs to go viral, Target need to be sued for starting this nonesense against this good brother
too bloody right im an Aussie and if this every happened and i heard about it at my local target i would make sure the dam world knew hell i would even go as far as to paint in on the buildings doors
@@maxrander0101put a target on their backs so to speak...
Although i dont think target as a whole were responsible for this id say that that particular store made a massive error in judgement that should make there store management as liable as the police in this instance.
Whether to go as far as saying target as a company should be liable for not correctly educating its staff on policy's or to take a persons actions as there own mistakes is a difficult one.
At the end of the day though this was messed up and i hope this video goes on a police rookie educational videos of what not to do.
This garbage hits home for me. I’m newly disabled and even today I was going through the self checkout at a Canadian grocery chain. The employee was so sweet to assist me even though I could barely speak to express my needs. It completely boggles my mind to consider that the employees in that section would not immediately assist him.
Then to take the next step to get him trespassed out of the stores by filthy cops. That blows my mind.
If I were an attorney, I would take this man's case and sue target and the police for millions...and I would do it for free.
Lol that's why u ain't an attorney. Free ?
Exactly🤣🤣Everybody getting paid in this case🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤣🤣
@@daveyboy_🤣🤣🤣
@@daveyboy_ You realize pro bono cases are a thing and many attorneys offer to take a case for free if they feel strongly about it also its generally recommended by the bar association. Congratulations you tried to make someone else look like a fool, and now you're the fool.
@@daveyboy_ Davey boi you fool 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎😎
Heartbreaking to watch. I hope this man gets justice.
Ive seen this video multiple times now and every time its just as heartbreaking as before. They way this man was treated is downright criminal.
This is one of the most disgusting and heartbreaking acts of tyranny I have ever seen
U havent seen much then.
And yet youre focused on security vs the management
This is on target and the officers!
yeah this was sad to watch.. he was clearly mentally handicapped, but no one helped him
I would rather have dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
Did that cop say “it sucks to suck” to a mentally disabled man? Wow
Yeah he did. This cop is an absolute shit bag. I mean just looking at his photo it screams of "I got bullied in high school and now I'm gonna take it out on the general public and people I feel are beneath me." What a pathetic little toad.
I could hardly believe it myself.
What… the… fucc……. 💀💀💀
Yup at 14:15, crazy shit
You have to give him props for predicting HIS OWN future.
Why do I feel FEAR when a Cop approaches me, when I should feel SAFE in the presence of a Police Officer?
I have family that have similar disabilitees and this makes me want to cry; total lack of compassion and empathy.
I have a disabled adult son and this episode really hit home. It's terrifying that these bastards can't tell the difference and if they do, they just don't care.
They're the exact same people that would have bullied yor son in school for being disabled, only now they have guns and a monopoly on violence
Totally agree, very best wishes to you and your son.
they can tell the difference
@@thomasjones3508and chose to do the wrong thing
Oh they can tell. That's probably why they did it. Remember the n@zis? There are evil ppl everywhere among us especially police.
I've been working with mentally challenged people for over 20 years. This got me in my feels. How does a "can I help you sir?" situation turn into this?! You don't need training for this, just some common decency.
Exactly. Anyone with two brain cells rubbing together could see this man was harmless and was having some difficulty. How about help him complete his purchase and where he wants to go. This was ridiculous. Trumped up charges on this guy for nothing. Pretty pathetic.
Common decency from police? What colour is the sky on your planet and how are you liking your stay on Earth?
"Common Decency"??
The Officers involved have none!
It's almost like you can look at the cop and see he has something wrong with him .
And he is a killer to boot ! How was he even put on the street with a gun !
The problem is with the police officers there is the mental illness of narcissism and psychopathic tendencies. It appears that's all they're hiring nowadays are these kind of criminals with badges.
Very few times have a video filled me with such rage that Ive had to walk away and take a deep breath..... ridiculous
Couldn’t even get through the whole video. My heart hurts for this man. I hope he got the justice he deserves.
"I told you. That's your own fault you didn't listen, okay." Man, this former office is a real piece of work. I hope people treat him with as little compassion as he showed in this encounter.
His "sucks to suck" comment was way over the line and disrespectful and unprofessional. I hope he can't even get a job as a security guard at target. He deserves to be a patty flipper at McDonald's with a very demanding manager.
I hope the former officer's next encounter with police is worse
I hope the former officer faces the same illegal treatment he gave to a disabled man
I sincerely hope he becomes another video on Police Activity
What are the odds that Trget hired the unemployed former police officer as a security guard? He semed to want to treat their customers with the same lack of respect their current security had.
@@syko2164unfortunately He is a pawn in the pathetic police department that let him acted the way he did. Those old fuks that operated pre body cameras FULLY SUPPORTED him until modern social media and Digital cameras became the norm…and they got caught doing what they taught them.
@@syko2164 - I certainly wouldn't want him preparing my burger, let alone working the cash register. It's better that this sociopath go and work someplace where he doesn't have to be in contact with the public. Let him pour concrete, or work in the sanitation department - anything but police work.
I can't describe in words how much outright contempt i have for these repugnant bullies.
I'm with you. My blood is boiling when I think of it...
I do like the smell off burned bacon in the morning.
They do the exact same thing to mentally insane people every. single. day.. what is the diffference???
@@baskoning9896 I'm trying desperately to not share what I'd like to see happen to the mistaken bacon
You should have compassion for them.
The devils and demons have burrowed into their souls.
Cop made the choice but he was listening to The worst voices in his soul.
This is absolutely disgusting! Not one of these cops have the sense to say WTF are we doing to the rest?
It is crazy just all the work that goes into these videos... court records,video analysis, and researching laws.
This really ripped my heart out. This poor guy was just going about his business. He wasn’t bothering anyone. This whole incident was disgusting.
I agree. With his disability he is trying hard to fit in. Who can say how this incident set him back. His overall confidence may be shattered. Damn shame
Absolutely
You’re right.
Yall forget thet tagret employees also called the cops because they thought he was hommeless takiing along time . No face no case i guess
@@JamalTheOBlockian what does that have to do with anything
As a nurse, if I treated my patient this way, my fellow nurses would turn me in, I’d be fired and likely lose my nursing license… And rightfully so.
This isn’t a matter of training, this is a matter of humanity, character and integrity. These three cops had a perfect opportunity to do good, it would’ve been relatively easy and would go along way towards changing the narrative about our current state of law-enforcement culture.
I 100% agree with the humanity part. This isn't something you need to be trained for, except maybe by your parents, it should have been immediately obvious that something was "off" and patience and some humanity should have been shown.
This is by design
correct no training will help them.
That's because your profession is noble. You can't compare yourself vs pigs.
You are right, I don't understand. Plus they have qualified immunity, why?
Extremely disturbing. This might have been one of the most upsetting incidents I’ve seen in a while. All those employees and police officers could have done was help the man check out and help him on his way. Shameful all the way around.
The cop clearly said at 9:00, “they didn’t want you in there no more”… that means he was allowed in there. It’s not the disabled man’s fault the cop doesn’t understand what a double negative is; we all do. The fact the police officer doesn’t have a high school command of the English language just makes it worse.
What bothers me the most about this interaction is that he articulated himself so well. They just never took the time to listen to his side and what he was trying to communicate.
Imagine how many people have been locked up in the past and had no cameras to hold these cops accountable.
The cops just have no patience or curiosity to understand what’s going on. Ask questions take your time be a member of the community
right, I’m so glad he didn’t tell them his name and he said it’s his right to remain silent. the officers are so dumb.
This story was so sad. There was literally no reason for them to approach him with the hostility and aggression that they did. The man is clearly trying to make a purchase, but instead of assisting him with the purchase of the bike.....the escalate the situation and embarrass and harm the man. Shame on Target and shame on these officers and their entire department.
I give the department props here for holding the cops accountable, too often they close ranks and nothing ever gets done.
@@chrisbammer4946 Barely accountable. Maybe they think they can get away with it by just assigning blame to one of the assholes instead of all of them.
Fact is, police like this are cancerous. They need removed with prejudice.
@@chrisbammer4946who trained these cops to act like this ??
They are just covering their asses now

This is how they treat many black people, sometimes worse😮😮
@@donnajacksonwhite5963this is how they treat the lower class it's not just blacks. the cops are modern gestapo just following orders
A Target employee should have taken him to a closed register and help him handle the payment. Sickening.
Do you expect anything better from a store that believes in selling transgender baby clothes?
Why take him to a closed register? Just help him at the open register like anyone else.
@@lisaa3978I think they meant take the old guy out of a like find a empty register use there code to cash him out and then he’s gone
@@lisaa3978Are you dense? He’s not just a regular person, he has a disability. That’s the whole reason to take him aside to expedite him paying.
@@ItzRanzo Old guy? Take him out of like? Why? A disabled person (or old guy) has the same rights as you. Do you want to be taken out of like if you are having difficulty? An employee or even another customer, should just respectfully and quietly help you where you are and not draw attention to you.
