Complete abuse of power.

itidbit · 7 months ago

and now it is time to expose this with the power of the internet!

Cam · 7 months ago

Well the gross and horrible thing is that this does happen and it is horrendous. Now Im Canadian and I have a slight grasp and understanding of American Law isnt the gentleman in the right when he says that they need to show him the fact that the dog has detected something???? So that he knows that there is probalble cause??? correct me if im not right like I said Im not American. I really do hope that serious action is taken against those officers this is ridiculous

EntrE · 7 months ago

well that's what happens when some stupid redneck asshole policemen are in charge. the typical american country bumpkin who thinks he's better than you anyway now gets a taser in his hands. in this case there were several taser holding redneck bastards who totally abused their power and should pay for it!

Dylan99 · 7 months ago

Actualy the cops did the right thing. You can be arrested w/o a reason , it is in the law, that you can be held for up to 24 hours w/o any reason. They told the guy the dog flagged on him, and they had to search it, the guy refused to get out the cop warned him he would drag him out, then a few seconds later he said he was going to break the window, and then they sat at the window giving the guy more chances still to just let them search the car. the guys a dumb ass and the cops followed the law. hell even if the dog didn't flag on the car they could have searched it just for the hell of it, and had it been completely legal under a whole list of laws.

striker66 · 3 months ago

you cant be arrested without reason what the fuck are you talking about. and he didnt get out of his car because we cant always give in to cops. they have to follow the law just like everyone else.

justanotherguy99 · 3 months ago

Dylan I hope just once, you'll try really hard to find the courage NOT to be a kiss ass to the police and meet that 1 special cop who is so eager to beat you back into the submissive accepting puppy you are now.

steven · 7 months ago

I agree. I mean why taser him. He is a pastor its not like he is going to friggin shoot you up. They could have just dragged him out.

Ryan · 7 months ago

I agree with you, but why just not get out of the car if he had nothing to hide? He could have just prooved the police wrong, and then go on his way wherever it was he was going.

The police tazering him was completely uncalled for. Even if he was being uncooperative, they could have used some other method, like you said.

Kyaizen · 7 months ago

You have the right to stay in your car until they have a justified reason to make you get out.

FX325 · 7 months ago

If you listen they said the dogs alerted them to narcotics. More so if you wonder about the taser, check out the cops that get killed trying to be nice. There is no sense in a 5 on 1 situation to beat him, but personally i thought he was asking for it.

Trevon Swift · 7 months ago

I can see where you are coming from but what I believe was he was trying to make a point. He had his right not let them search his car because of the 4th amendment.

Alina · 7 months ago

yea but who knows what the cops would of done to him if he did get out the car

babaG · 7 months ago

Sure, he could have gotten out but he isn't required to until faced with a reason. Also, cops have been known in the past to plant evidence such as drugs and weapons on 'criminals'. Fuck the corrupt world.

Victor · 7 months ago

He does not have to get out of the car legally, they have the right to stay in his car until law enforcers have a justifiable reason to wanting to search, and the dog did not find anything. this was absolute bullshit

Appo · 7 months ago

You don't get out of your car because when they search the car they basically rip off everything to see if there's "drugs". Two broken windows is probably less expensive than a ripped up inside.

blah · 7 months ago

well yea i guess he could have done that but even men of god have pride especially sence they had no right/warrant/whatever to even talk to him or hold him

ORVX · 7 months ago

Ryan you’re a simpleton, do u fucking get it. him not HAVING to comply is the whole point, if you allow that, we are all fucked cops don’t errrr shouldn’t get do whatever they want because the feeeeeeel a certain way. I they can do whatever because they don’t like your attitude, your hair style, you name it, it’s a slippery slope, that we have already stated down. In 1000's of other situations like this, this is where the cops plant the "evidence" if you don't give a shit about your freedom please leave. For the record, freedom is a relative term, we just closer then sum, we are not there and people that think like you insure we keep moving in the wrong direction.

Craig · 7 months ago

first i want to say that this should not have been done it was completely wrong and all of the cops involved should lose there job. However for you to say he's a pastor what would he do is very silly like a pastor could never hurt anyone. Here are a list of pastors for you to research. Jim Jones, David Koresh, Rev Moon, Marshall Applewhite.

The only smart one · 7 months ago

He never said he was a pastor! How would the police know? He was a citizen who was refusing to get out of a car when asked. That IS resisting arrest.

ofsoundjustice · 5 months ago

The Constitution of the United States of America was based upon giving the citizen the benefit of the doubt. "Innocent until proven guilty." You are allowed to 1. Plead the 5th. You don't have to say a word. You are allowed to 2. Remain in your vehicle until shown proof of suspicion, or "probable cause."

Furthermore, EVEN IF the officers had given the man a legitimate reason along with proof, EVEN IF the man was a complete douchebag to the officers (hypothetically), and EVEN IF the citizen was in the wrong, this is simply a horrific display of the cruelty and abuse of power shown by these specific officers. A man with his hands over his eyes, who has not once shown a sign of aggression, is not a threat. Yet these men were so eager to shove him into glass, drag him out of a vehicle, taze him SEVERAL TIMES, and step on his head, pushing his face into asphalt............................But no, you say he was resisting arrest. So this is what happens? This is just? This was deserved?

Oh and by the way, what exactly are you hinting at? If the police had known that the citizen was a pastor, would they have reacted differently? You seem to be taking on a very "oh it's fine, they just didn't know any better" attitude.

Nice name, jackass.

tmun · 3 months ago

But what was he being arrested for?? He has to be arrested on some grounds before he can resist that arrest! They had no reason to be arresting him in the first place. You don't have to get out of the car when told to by a cop unless he has probable cause for "ordering"(as the officer on the video said) you to get out.

ORVX · 7 months ago

a your an idot, dumb one. mopre likley a cop or family of a a cop, as we all know, more often then not what I just said is a redondent stament.

ORVX · 7 months ago

being a a pastor has nothing to do with this, if we have to play the game, we do, so do the pigs.

sean dearling · 7 months ago

there border patrol they have the authority to search you


im not saying you deserved to get tazed but you and idiot

stever · 7 months ago

Idiot!

LOLing · 7 months ago

swine strikes again

Kevin · 7 months ago

wtf? Police over react sometimes, I don't get it.

BAMFofTheWeek · 7 months ago

If there was nothing in the trunk to be worried about, he could've just let them search the trunk and had it over with.

Just because he's a pastor, he just gets more sympathy.

The cops abused their power, sure, but he was obviously hiding something if he didn't just let them search his trunk, big deal.

Dillithium · 7 months ago

Not really, people have rights. He can refuse a random search. I would too.

It doesn't mean you're hiding something, it means you understand your own rights and don't want the police tearing up your belongings.

cpdy · 7 months ago

it was wrong how they just beat him up.the cops should go to jail and never get there jobs back.thats just mess up.i would of did the same thing .

Jake · 7 months ago

scenario:

in this scenario, you LOVE you some porn. Like... LOVE it. And you just got back from buying a big box of it! yey for you! It's sitting in your trunk right now and your on your way home.

Then a cop pulls you over and demands to inspect your vehicle. You've done nothing wrong, but you still really don't want this random cop to see you new porn collection.


in short, there are PLENTY of reasons to not want your car searched even if you've done nothing wrong. But most importantly, the cops have NO RIGHT to search a car without a warrant. If they TRULY had probably cause, they could have detained the man while waiting to get a warrant filed.

But once we start allowing police officers to search property without a warrant, we are giving away all of our freedom. If cops could search your house whenever they wanted to, then your house might as well be property of the state.

Amber A · 7 months ago

Well said. I totally agree. When something like this happens because a man invoked his rights we know there is something truly wrong in America.

Tom Micale · 7 months ago

To just "let them do it" is to just let them strip you of your constitutional rights. If we are so willing to shed our rights for convenience or because of FEAR of authority, perhaps we didn't deserve them to begin with.

Trevon Swift · 7 months ago

Its not that he was hiding something because they obviously found nothing to charge him with. It was the fact that they did all of this with no probable cause. He had the right to deny them a chance to search the car.

Hunter · 7 months ago

Wrong. Sure the guy was stubborn but i would have been too. They had no reason to search his car. It was clear the cops were just looking for action, thats why they wouldnt bring the dog back out. Tbh i would have drove off. like the other guy said, they have to have a justified reason to search your car.

Aloha amigo · 7 months ago

If you watch the second video, the police ended up searching his car when he was in jail and did not find anything.

I do agree that this would not have been such a big deal if he was not a pastor.

Chris · 7 months ago

Its all about standing up for our rights. He should not have to answer t these cops. It pisses me off when people say, "well he had nothing to hide he should have listened" Does this mean we have to do everything a cop says if were innocent. Cops need to leave us alone, they abuse their power way too much. I would have done the same thing. Its about our rights and the slippery slope we are on. What happened to being free?

annoanonymous · 7 months ago

saying that he was stupid and had nothing to hide is a stupid idea. you have a right to not let the police search you.

not to mention they probably would have torn up his car to shreds looking XD

Ben · 7 months ago

they did search his car and found nothing. he just saw no reason to get out of the car.


law enforcement has this high and mighty label that is a complete false sense of power.

they just wanted to make it as hard as possible

WickedlyWanton · 7 months ago

I'd like to see if what he says happened really did happen. We just see a little bit of what he's talking about. And seriously, from what I heard, he was being an ass.

Yaps · 7 months ago

The cops were being asses toward him as well. If cops could use tasers on people just because they think they're being assholes then the entire population of the world should prepare for a lot of tasings.

Could the pastor have handled it differently? Yes. Could the cops have been more professional? Definitely. The video makes police, who already have many years of bad reputation surrounding them, look that much worse.

WickedlyWanton · 7 months ago

As someone who works in law enforcement, what I saw was someone who was being belligerent, who might have had a weapon, and could have potentially hurt himself or others. If the dog had alerted on the car, they had probable cause to take him out of the car. I would rather be tazed than hit with pepper spray, in all honesty. They gave him every opportunity to get out, he didn't, and while he was screaming, was probably resisting. You can resist without hitting or biting or whatever. By not moving, holding on to the steering wheel, etc, while they try to get you out of the car will get you hurt. And why would they have done all that on camera had he not been suspicious? Despite what many people think, cops are not stupid. They knew they were being recorded--and by their own surveillance!

Amber A · 7 months ago

This just shows the "blue shield" The pastor could have been "nicer" but I would be pissed too. He had a right to know why they were trying to arrest him along with refusing to answer their questions. If the dog had alerted then they would have found something. They plain out LIED. They did not have probable cause to get him out of the vehicle or search the vehicle.

Joe · 7 months ago

This isnt about how "nice" anyone is to another. This is about rights.

The only cause these officers had were their own suspicions. They see someone resist their questions, so they think "this guy is hiding something". They clearly used the dog as a way to bypass the law.

This guy did absolutely nothing wrong. Everything he did was well within his legal rights, and I guess these days the law doesn't even care anymore.

Trevon Swift · 7 months ago

Do you seriously think that if you're being tasered by more than one gun, you can resist arrest? Try getting tasered and see if you can move a muscle in your body. They tasered him as soon as the window was broken.

Rezzy · 7 months ago

Probable cause my good sir.
You can go on like "OH WELL HE COULD HAVE HAD A WEAPON ON HIM BLAH BLAH BLAH" but there's a HUGE difference between could have, and did. This man did NOT have a weapon on him, they had no reason to suspect he did, and had no grounds to remove him from the vehicle. You can go ahead and say "WELL HE COULD HAVE..." but the fact is that he DIDN'T. Which means what? They fucked up. They did their job wrong. I've taken Criminal Justice, I work for an ex-police officer. If a police officer just randomly chooses me to pick on like that, I'm not going to comply. And why? Because I don't have to. If they have no grounds to prove I've done something wrong, I don't have to let the search my stuff, and I won't.
Police are to be held to a higher standard then everyone else.

sorryifithurts · 7 months ago

You, my good sir, should be the dbotd. The police aren't imbued with some magical power that lets him or her know there is a hidden weapon. What, are the police supposed to take the word of the people they pull over? Of course, no one has ever lied before. Jesus-Joseph-Mary, you're an idiot.

hunter k. · 7 months ago

right on

PistolPaul · 7 months ago

Ok, youre a bit right in some way, but how do you explain that they were standing on his face and laughing at him at the end

hunter k. · 7 months ago

what i mean by right on is he should plead non guilty and the cops used their power in way that made it seem like he had done something wrong, i swear sometimes cops piss me off

CWebbPanther · 7 months ago

"As someone who works in law enforcement, what I saw was someone who was being belligerent, who might have had a weapon, and could have potentially hurt himself or others."

That's clever how you've changed the definition of the work "belligerent" to include following the Constitution.

"If the dog had alerted on the car, they had probable cause to take him out of the car."

That's true. Or it would be. If the dog had alerted the officers. Apparently "probable cause" doesn't mean what I thought it did, either.

"I would rather be tazed than hit with pepper spray, in all honesty. They gave him every opportunity to get out, he didn’t, and while he was screaming, was probably resisting."

Any movements while being tazed are completely involuntary, therefore making it impossible to resist anything (which I believe is the whole point of a tazer in the first place). Apparently "paralysis" implies enough muscle control to intently resist arrest.

"You can resist without hitting or biting or whatever. By not moving, holding on to the steering wheel, etc, while they try to get you out of the car will get you hurt."

So you're saying that by not moving at all, one can resist arrest? No you're right, it's quite dangerous to break one window, unlock the door, open it, and pick a person up out of the car. It's totally appropriate to taze a man for doing nothing more than abiding by his constitutional rights.

"And why would they have done all that on camera had he not been suspicious??"

Because until he had a video camera himself, it's was nothing more than their word against his.

"Despite what many people think, cops are not stupid."

Really?

"They knew they were being recorded–and by their own surveillance!"

Which we'll probably never see.

Chris · 7 months ago

This just goes to show what they are teacging our cops. You are afraid of everyone. "He could have had a weapon blah blah." Hes not doing anything wrongt he doesnt need to answer your questions. You are no God we do not answer to you. Cops use that bullshit to justify their actions. Stop abusing your power. Read the god damn constitution. Your here to protect us, they stopped him unlawfully and tried to make him answer questions. Why should he answer you? This is not freedom if every cop can stop you and demand you to get out of your car.

striker66 · 3 months ago

wait you would rather risk dieing from a tazer (which many people have) then have something sprayed in your eyes. i dont think you realize how excruciating it is to have thousands of volts of electricity running through you (you try not to scream or shake). stick your finger in an electrical outlet thats only 120 volts!! and i must say some cops are that stupid. (not all) but just like any other person some are really dumb and get carried away with their power and responsibilities. if the dog really detected something why wouldnt they have brought it back out instead of wasting so much time and having to go thought the hassle of explaining why they had to use force on the man.

striker66 · 3 months ago

you have obviously never been tazered before

Tommy · 7 months ago

Really? Look at him, why would he been suspicious did you watch the video?

bob jones · 7 months ago

well thats why there is a video to show you what happened you dumb shit

a · 7 months ago

fuck yourself. cops ARE stupid, otherwise they wouldn't be cops, they'd be productive members of society, not power crazy steroid poppin cocksuckers. FUCK THA POLICE, FUCK THA POLICE, FUCK EM!!!!

eat shit and die in bacon grease pig.

a · 7 months ago

Cocksuckers won't even get a slap on the wrist let alone what they deserve, how many cops know what a taser feels like. If I were in that little guy's position I'd go columbine on all they're asses, pastor or not I'd v for vendetta all up in that mutha fuckin checkpoint. see what a taser does against my eagle bitch, fuck I'd go out gunz blazin.

a · 7 months ago

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA fuckin pigs make me so angry man. I can't believe AMERICA of all places has stooped to such a fuckin low that the government has given cops the go ahead to enforce such shitty injustice to innocent people. SEND THEM MOTHAFUCKIN COPS TO AFGHANISTHAN TO DIE for a lost cause, instead of bullying travelling pastors or anyone else who has a fuckin basic knowledge of thier rights as an AMERICAN citizen.

Jodi · 7 months ago

omg that is terrible i cant believe my eyes at that vid im in total shock why would those cops do that to this poor INNOCENT man
this reminds me of the vid with the girl who was beaten down by that cop that phil put up one time this is horrible

Nicolas · 7 months ago

Ok. I agree it's abuse of power, but if you have nothing in your car, LET THEM CHECK IT!!
WTF?

Amber A · 7 months ago

People have RIGHTS. If you give up your rights everyday without thinking - maybe you don't deserve to have them.

Trevon Swift · 7 months ago

It was the whole principle that if they had no probable cause, they had no right to search his car, let alone taser him that much or at all.

James3 · 7 months ago

He should sue the police!

hunter k. · 7 months ago

i agree he should sue them

fohasha · 7 months ago

shit totally abuse of power but he was being stubborn at the beginning so i mean the police men took it too far not worth wat he got but he was still being an asshole juz imagine if he had let them look in the car it would have taken 30 min and he wouldnt have cuts on his face

ashman · 7 months ago

well he didnt have to and i would have done somthing similar if not the same exact thing

Charlie · 7 months ago

Fucking arrest the cop that tased him. in my opinion that was aggravated assault

Tommy · 7 months ago

It was more than one cop.

Jen · 7 months ago

The police definitely used excessive force, they could have gotten him out of the vehicle without using the taser.

But at the same time, it sounds like he was being difficult. It's been awhile since I've taken a law course, but at least in Canada, you only have to give your name to a police officer if asked. So while he didn't HAVE to answer the questions, this probably wouldn't have happened if he'd just answered them. Of course the police are going to be suspicious if he refuses to answer. They'll be even more suspicious if he refuses to have his vehicle searched.

It was completely ridiculous of the police to place him under arrest. They should have brought the dog out again, within full view of him and the highway safety officer.

And his hands were covered, they didn't need to use one taser, let alone the number they used. Definitely an abuse of power, but I think this could have been avoided had he just answered the questions. But all in all, what the police did was pretty disgusting.

Webcrawler2007 · 7 months ago

I don't think there was any reason to taser the guy. I mean really, he wasn't agitated or upset when the cops were breaking the window and if he had appeared to have a weapon then the cops wouldn't have just stood around and chatted with him. It's just a case of cops overreacting because someone didn't treat them like their word was law - which it's not. I agree that the cops may have been suspicious because the pastor wouldn't let them into the trunk, but this is abuse of power in it's purest form. You need more then suspicion to search a vehicle - esp if you're going to taser and beat someone into compliance. This type of behavior is why I'm glad I left the States. It happens way too often.

Zach casper · 7 months ago

This has what the fuckary written all over it. Know you rights people! Don't let the government take away your freedom.

Drole · 7 months ago

I definitely think that Excessive force was used but as far as the 4th amendment right.

Under the “extended border search” doctrine, government officials may conduct a warrantless search beyond the border.

It sucks for him but the border patrol had the right to search his car if they had probable cause(which I doubt they did).

blahblahblah · 7 months ago

When you are being an asshole to the cops, and then refusing to comply with their commands, you will get fucked up. Just because he's a pastor doesn't make him innocent or less of a threat to the police. Dude got what he deserved. Let this be a lesson, just listen and comply and no one will get hurt.

Mr.X · 7 months ago

No way you "just comply". That's if you're living in a police state. The police cannot search your vehicle without your consent or a warrant unless you have something illegal in plain view or there are exigent circumstances, neither of which apply to this man. They could have made him wait and gotten a warrant but they knew it wouldn't be granted. This guy should sue for illegal search,false arrest and assault and battery.

Pagrashtak · 7 months ago

Yes, listen and comply, that way Big Brother can protect you.

ashman · 7 months ago

i bet your a dick faced hog yourself!! you like abuse of power because thats wat this is plain and simple sure the guy was a bit suspicous but well within his legal rights.

andealz2008 · 7 months ago

i dont think the police now a days even know the rights of people.

AMadToon · 7 months ago

WTF the cops have nothing better to do because they cant catch mexicans coming into the united states, it was a STATE TO STATE transit dude he should sue their asses all cops that were there, the border patrol, the U.S. itself for letting these idiots be cops, and if he was smart hed leave that church go to some island like bermuda and live out his life but he prolly will just give it to the church, laughing at him really adding insult to injury, i have a good felling border patrol is DBOTD

Jason · 7 months ago

The face is cops do have authority to tell you what to do. They are call law enforcement officers. When you mouth off to an officer and don't do what he has told you to do, you only make things worse for yourself. I don't care if the guys a pastor or the freakin Pope. Hes not above the law.

Jason · 7 months ago

oops. typo, face = fact

Matthew · 7 months ago

Umm.. I don't know what country you are posting from, but in America, police do not have that much power. They have no more power over you than anyone else does, unless they have probable cause, which is very hard to justify in todays courts. This guy was resisting arrest, but the arrest was unjust.

These cops are going to get their asses handed to them if he sues.

Jason · 7 months ago

I'm also from America. I have respect for law enforcement officers. I understand what their job is. Their job is to protect the people of this country and ensure that it is safe from those who would do the people of it harm.

When a police officer tell you to do something, you do it. If the guy would have obeyed the police officer and gotten out of the car, he wouldn't have been arrested unless he had something unlawful he was hiding. He spent more time being beligerent than being cooperative.

Bottom line is that we rely on law enforcement officials to protect our society from illegal activity. When some self-rightous pastor decides to challenge their authority, they are going to react just like a judge would if you called him an asshole while you were in his court. That judge is going to hand you a much stiffer punishment than he would have if you had kept your mouth shut.

The way our great country works is we elect people into power to put other people into places of authority. We don't get to pick and choose when we wish to obey people with this authority. If you want to argue about what is right and wrong, that is what our court system is for.

This douche bag of the day got everything he was attempting to get. Notice how he didn't have the hour long video clip up there of him being a defiant. Only the part he wanted us to see was presented.

Amber A · 7 months ago

No No No NO NO. You are 100% wrong. Police officers should NOT be obeyed no matter what they say. You have the right not to answer their questions. You have the right to say no to an unlawful search. He may know he did nothing wrong, but a search on your vehicle/house/anything without a warrant or probable cause is an extreme invasion of privacy. Not to mention the extremely excessive force they used for someone who OBVIOUSLY was not carrying a weapon or pose a danger.

Jason · 7 months ago

From watching a 3 and a half minute clip you could tell that he wasn't causing a threat. I know this guy had the right to remain silent, he just decided to get mouthy with the cop.

The job of the border patrol agents are to ensure nothing illegal is getting transported past the border. When I get stopped at the air port at a random security checkpoint do I have the option to say no thanks, I'm good? No, if i want to cross that checkpoint I will need to comply with the authority figure asking me to do something. If I resist, then that raises suspicion and I'm definately not going thru without a search.

Would you get on a plane with someone refusing to go thru a security checkpoint and the authority figure says my mistake, I have no right to search you. Please let me carry the bag to the plane for you.

I agree with you that cops need a reason / warrant to enter your vehicle or house when you are not at a freakin security checkpoint. Thats the whole purpose for the checkpoint. The border agents said the dog indicated a search was necessary, so they called the local police to enforce the law so that they could do their jobs. PROTECTING THE BORDER!!!

fyre · 7 months ago

What people don't understand is that when you have the right to be silent, that's after you are being arrested. That also means you are read your rights. The 'police' in this video are clearly thugs.

Just because they wear the same uniform as other law enforcement does not mean they are the same law protecting enforcement that is portrayed around America.

Not reading someone's rights, Not bringing out the dog to sniff anything, Not finding anything, Not respecting an individual's rights, assaulting and battering a citizen exercising their rights as a citizen, and making fun of them is not professional and is no different than common criminal.

Imagine them without badges. Imagine them in broad daylight on a non populated street doing this to a law abiding citizen. What is the difference between some low life's doing this and police officers doing this to this American citizen?

He didn't even cross the border.

qwerty · 7 months ago

The guy's a good story teller. lol. He should write a book. What an idiot. The dog doesn't have to bark, some dogs go crazy and scratch and yelp, some just stop and sit when they find something. Nice to hear ONE side of the story, but like i said, he good at telling stories.

boardofnumbers · 7 months ago

Are you calling the pastor an idiot? You're a fucking asshole. You weren't the one that was tasered and severely beaten. After watching these videos, do you even need to see the cops' side of the story? Shut the fuck up.

ashman · 7 months ago

well he didnt have anything in his car!!! wtf the dog didnt find anything if there was nothing to be found

Fenrir · 7 months ago

He fucking deserves what he gets... if hes got nothing to hide then fucking let them search it and be on with your day...

people have to many rights as it is... and they abuse their rights just as much as a police officer may abuse theirs.

people need less rights.... religion needs to die. this guy is a fucking attention whore.

Dean · 7 months ago

JDiddy · 7 months ago

People have too many rights??? If you hate the Bill of Rights that much THEN LEAVE THE COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

Wade · 7 months ago

if your not breaking a law you should never REFUSE a search... warrants shouldn't be needed you should never have anything to hide unless your breaking the law then you should be punished.

AmbRN · 7 months ago

I agree with some of you in that he must have been hiding something. The only reason why they used force is because he was "resisting arrest" and wouldn't shut up and obey the law. Yes the cops went over the top, but rule number 1 is shut up and obey, otherwise your making yourself more suspicious..i place most of the blame on the pastor

eekai · 7 months ago

the pastor mentioned that after the beating up, the police searched his car and found nothing. any way you look at it, i do not see how the beating could have been justified. he was not resisting, he was seated behind the wheel, hands on his face and he got tazered many times. that is just plain cruel.

say the pastor was hiding something. did the police not need a warrant for that? did they not need a search warrant? that was obviously abuse of power.

and say the pastor was hiding something, i think the matter could have been handled differently and in a way that his face did not end up like that.

those cops deserve to get fired and jailed.

Just because you refuse a search doesnt mean you have something to hide. He was just protecting his own rights. Just think back to the Holocaust. The jews had rights, but they didnt stand up for them, and 6 million were slaughtered by Nazis. If you give up your rights so easily to lowlifes like those boarder patrol cops, you dont deserve them.

wtf, y do u need to tazer a man multiple times who's not resisting arrest. they had no right to search his car. those cops need to be laid off or somethin...WTF is wrong with them?

This all would have been avoided if he would have gotten out of the car. He was being a dick. The police however had no reason for a taser. If he had nothing to hide, he should have gotten out when ordered.

Cecilia · 7 months ago

He was being an ass about the whole situation. Talking them up, not letting them speak, bringing a friggin camcorder in the situation. But that's no excuse for the cops. They were both wrong. He should get a slap on the wrist, and all of those cops should be arrested and fired due to assault.

dfalken · 7 months ago

Ridiculous... Law inforcement does not have the right to force you to answer any questions. Nor do they have the right to force you to let them search your belongings without a court order. Now, under the Patriot Act all bets are off, but is this considered calling under the patriot Act? I doubt it. Those officers should loose thier jobs and be forced to pay fines.....

amoep · 7 months ago

Why be a pain in the ass. Just get out of the car. I know you have your rights but really, just get out. It would have taken the guy a whole lot shorter of time. I hate border cops and they suck but still, just get out. They shouldn't have gone at him so hard and clearly didn't be needed to be tasered. But now you have a broken window and face.

desertninja108 · 7 months ago

I agree the police definitley used excessive force on the guy. I mean one shot of the tazer gun is usually enough to take a guy down, espceially for a guy his size. And though he acted kinda like a jerk he didn't resist (though its not like he could've), he even covered his eyes when told.

It is unfortunate that this happened and events similar to this have been happening recently, part of this is due to the powers the government has been given since 9/11, the partriot act and such. Now police, and border partols have the power for search and seizure without a warrant as long as they believe or think (without proof) that there is probable cause.

Antmysta · 7 months ago

He should of just got out of the car. Let them do there little search and he would of been on his way Instead, he wanted to be a smartass.

I agree that the police used excessive force and could of easily just dragged him out.

Also, at the part where the guy asks him to close his eyes. Why didn't he just step out the car or question why he was been asked to close his eyes.

No one deserves to go to jail here. The pastor learned his lesson I'm sure. I bet the next time a cop tells him to get out of the car he is going to listen. And the cops don't belong there because they didn't do anything wrong. They were just doing their jobs.

No they weren't just doing their jobs - they were ABUSING their power. The do not have that much power in America - and FOR A REASON.

I'll say the same thing I said to Art.

It not really for society to decide what is excessive force. Until you spend a day in a cops shoes, you have no understanding of what is going thru their heads when some shithead is refusing to obey their authority.

If the guy can’t follow a simple instruction like get out of the car, who knows what he would have done when taken out of the car?

Userdome · 7 months ago

no, you are wrong. He did not resist, did not have anything to hide, did not say he was a pastor and was not being a smartass. so it's safe to say, HE DID NOTHING WRONG. Jesus, we have rights you know and what good is having rights if no one cares about them, they are there for a reason. Theyon the other hand, did not answer his request for the dog, mocked him, laughed at him, beated him even though he WAS NOT resisting tazered him so he couldn't resist either way and threw him in jail for no reason, then they had to search the car and find NOTHING. EVEN though they should be suspicious, they did not have to do all that crap for no reason. they also DID NOT bring the god dam dog right? so in the end. the cops are ASSES and unfortunatly so are YOU

abbe · 7 months ago

I lol'd at this.
"I resisted arrest and bitched at them for 30 minutes, so they tazed me!"
*Shock*

Im really shocked and appalled that the police took action after a man refuses to cooperate with them for 30 minutes (or was it 1 hour?). Sure, you should stand for what you believe, but god damn, a force of authority without the ability to act on cases like this, can it really be called a force of authority?

Jason · 7 months ago

Condensed version of what I said above. I couldn't agree with you more. I hate stupid people who try to treat police officers like their mall cops.

S1apSh0es · 7 months ago

Victor · 7 months ago

Jason, until you know a law enforcer who has abused their power, of course you would have this point of view on the situation. But when you have a father who is a cop and abuses his family by beating them with no reason, and when tried in court, he is not guilty because he knows the judge, you will understand. This is simply the abuse of authority, this pastor was very educated in what he was doing and standing up for, which was the 4th amendment. He did nothing wrong.

Ryan · 7 months ago

Seriously WTF! Watch the rest of the videos on his channel.

Jaimie · 7 months ago

4th Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

There's his right, and the right of Americans, right there. You should not be considered suspicious if you know your rights and enforce them. If you watched the second video, he obviously had nothing to hide and was enforcing his rights.

I will say that I believe he was pushing it due to the attitude he gave the cops, but I also believe that the cops overstepped their power by tazering him like they did and then beating him. He was being verbally resistant, but he was not being physically resistant as far as I can tell, therefore such force against him should not be necessary.

anon · 7 months ago

This is one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard. It is up to society to decide what excessive force is. In case you didn't know the police work for us. Our taxes pay their wage and it is our elected representatives that determine what is law and elected and appointed judges that rule on that law. Heck, sheriffs are elected officals and are responsible for hiring individual police officers.

Just because someone resisted arrest in the past and hurt an individual officer does not entitle that officer to use excessive force in subduing someone. You are to use the minimum force to safely subdue the person. A single tasing would have done it. Heck, warning him that he would be tased and forceably removed from the car in he didn't comply may have been enough.

S1apSh0es · 7 months ago

Yes, because anyone who knows their rights is obviously a terrorist...

Alex · 7 months ago

Marc · 7 months ago

if you refuse to cooperate with police, when they ask you to, especially when they say a dog may have found something. Refusing to obey to the police might show you have something to hide so they can take drastic mesures.

That bitch just had to listen to the police officer, especially when they have been there asking him to get out of his car for over an hour as he said.

doodaday · 7 months ago

You know why the pastor didn't listen to the cop? Cause he new 1000% he did nothing wrong & had nothing in his trunk. HE HAD NOTHING IN HIS TRUNK & they said he did. So he called em on it & was right. Now punish the abusive cops.

Alex · 7 months ago

Right, never question authority. Just comply, those "rights" of yours don't mean anything. It's not like people fought and died for your right to sit in that car without being unlawfully searched or have the living crap tazed out of you.

warki · 7 months ago

Seriously.. what the fuck.

He knew his rights, that's perfect isn't it? There was no reason for the cops to be THAT fucked up to him! Even if they want him to get out of the car.. taser him that often? There no reason to taser him even ONCE! Just break the window, open the door and get him out, theres no need to beat him at any time.
He didn't act like someone who wants to beat up a cop..

Totally abuse of power. Seriously, this is NOT an offense, but there are too many of those fucking cops in the US...

LaurieA137 · 7 months ago

"JUST" break the window, open the door and get him out? For all they know, he's got a gun under his seat. After trying to talk reasonably to this dope for over an hour, they've got reason to believe he's hiding something, and I'm sure they didn't want to be the next story in the paper about some crazy person pulling a gun and shooting the entire squad So they used NON-LETHAL methods to subdue him... taser. Too bad.

doodaday · 7 months ago

So what if you have a gun in your car or house? Maybe the cops should do a daily check on you to just be sure. Right? Right? Ya I thought so. Thats was privacy & rights are for.

Jeni · 7 months ago

I was pulled over at a checkpoint one time, had no idea why. they came to the window asked for the normal stuff, then said "so your so-n-so, that means you know why we had you pull over" i said no i do not. At the time i was pregnant.. i had a drunk friend in the car i was driving home. We were both told to get out of the vehicle hands showing and all. Did what we were told. then we were patted down... Hard. I kept asking what i was being cuffed for, and nobody would inform me.

i was not told why i was being arrested until almost 2 hours later after being in a cold disgustingly dirty cell, with no water and no restroom breaks...

In the end the guy i borrowed the car from was drunk and forgot he lent it and called it in stolen.

Oh snap Jeni! thats sucks. Unfortunetaly cops were going with good info there. Too bad the drunk friend was a temporary dumass.

anon · 7 months ago

I don't know how anyone can think this is justified. While it is common sense to be courteous to law enforcement it is not a crime punishable by beating to be rude. I can understand his short temper though considering the trampling his constitutional rights recieved. Would the police have just let him go if he complied? Of course they would have, but that's no the point. They had no right to search him in the first place. "I think you're a terrorist" is going to become a precursor to police searching anyone or anything as they please because they're bored? This is the USA people, we have the right to be assholes, the right to not be searched unless there is just cause, and the right to know what we are being arrested for. The police do not have special authority to make you do what they want unless you are breaking the law, suspected of breaking the law, or impeding justice. I have know people stopped by these random checkpoints that allowed the 'friendly police officer' to search their vehicle. Their property was strewn across the roadside haphazardly with little regard to keeping it safe or clean. Then when the police finished and didn't find anything my friend was told to pick it all up and go. I won't submit myself to an unreasonable search, though I would get out of the car before it escalated to the point that it had. I would still have made it clear that I wasn't giving them permission to search myself or the vehicle and that they were violating my constitutional rights, but I think I'd stop short of the beating.

This guy is going to clean up in court and we the people are going to end up paying for a good portion of it. If he's smart he'll sue both departments and every individual officer that was present, for the actual beating or for the officers failure to protect his rights as well as to protect him from the use of excessive force.

Jason · 7 months ago

Our forefathers didn't fight for the right of a douchebag to record a video of a police officer enforcing the law so that he could try and get rich quick. At the end of the day, the people judging him in court will see that he had a problem with obeying authority. The cops were going to sieze anything that the guy had that was legal. The only people who try to twist the 4th ammendment are the ones who have something to hide or have a hidden agenda like trying to get a frivilous lawsuit.

Jason · 7 months ago

sorry, typo: correction: The cops weren't going to sieze anything that the guy had that was legal.

anon · 7 months ago

It isn't a problem with obeying authority if their was no probable cause. The dog is not shown on the tape so it's hard to say whether or not they had the right to search his vehicle. Even if they had proable cause it's pretty clear that excessive force was used.

S1apSh0es · 7 months ago

You honestly think that this guy was trying to pull a get rich quick scheme? "OH YEAH! I'm going to use the 4th amendment to get beat to a pulp by police and I'll make a lot of money!" You are retarded. Go read the constitution.

LaurieA137 · 7 months ago

Um, last time I checked, you HAVE to answer questions. If you refuse to supply your name or other information, you can be detained. He refused to answer questions... he didn't say what kind. He was being a prick just for the fun of it. If he answered the questions and still refused the search, then that IS his right. However, the whole purpose of the checkpoint is to CHECK people and cars.

S1apSh0es · 7 months ago

You don't have to answer shit if you haven't committed a crime. In this case the man committed no crime, but the cops found that as a crime in itself which is completely BS.

Keith · 7 months ago

He should've just let him check his car if he had nothing to lose. Even so, that was total abuse of power on behalf of the police... He's going to have scars for the rest of his life now

He has a right to refuse warrant less searches. He stuck to that right and police didn't like it. The police are 100% at fault. We should never have to relinquish our rights for the sake of convenience. This is America, not China for God's sake.

mynameisray · 7 months ago

I think this guy got what he deserved. Just because you are a god hippie this doesn't give you a free pass to do as you please. The officers simply asked him to step out of his car and he said no. This gives them probable cause to search the car. He chose to resist and police took what measures they felt were necessary. For any of you that disagree may you should put yourself in the shoes of the officer or maybe the officers family or anyone else for that matter. What if they man was carrying a weapon and opened fire on the officers and killed one? How would you feel than? What if this man did have drugs that he was carrying and sold them to your kids? How would you feel than? Asking the man to step out so they could check his car and not worry about any danger was more than reasonable. His failure to comply to such a simple request was his choice and he suffered the consequences of his actions.

randy · 7 months ago

It's his 4th amendment to refuse to be searched if there is no probable cause. If refusing to be searched or step out without good reason gives cops probable cause, then why bother having a 4th amendment? All that does is contradict what the 4th amendment does for us ALL. It's not only "god loving hippies" who have fallen into this situation. Teens waiting at the bus stop, working moms on their way home, you yourself going to see your kids baseball game could run into a situation like this. How about tell me what you think after that happens?

Have police been abusing powers a lot more recently, a few weeks ago philly police beat up we the kings and FTSK for parking in the wrong spot

chicostudent · 7 months ago

they idea of detaining him is putting him under arrest. they put you under arrest so that anything they find is considered to be found legally. the fact the dog alerted them to car is their probable cause. At the border these are standard searches as to stop teh flow of narcotics into and out of the us.

think of it, if i had something to hide i would act the same way he did. say i never saw or heard the dog bark, and then refuse to be arrested. and claim it is my right to have private property.

anon · 7 months ago

I'm sure this will come out in court. The dog's alleged signal should have been caught on tape. Heck the border agents wouldn't bring the dog back out to let him OR THE POLICE OFFICERS observe the signal. If I was the police officer on the scene I would have let the man go right then. The border agents did to the police exactly what the Pastor did, refused to do what the officer said, and they were actually breaking the law with the unreasonable search. But the citizen is the one that gets beaten as the officer takes the border patrols' word on it. Scary.

So the answer to unreasonable searches is to bend over and take it? Let someone make up an excuse to do whatever they want to you and your rights?

Points to all of those that realized that our rights were earned in blood and shouldn't be given up with a whimper.

randy · 7 months ago

seriously Chico? A drug smuggler would probably not know his rights in the first place, just how much in cocaine he's got lined in his car, and how many years he'll get if he gets caught. I hate people saying "oh well if he didn't have anything to hide, he should have just listened". Ever wonder if maybe THAT is the reason cops take advantage? Because they know you "have" to listen? So when you don't, they teach you a lesson by showing you the power they have.

I want to see the entire video. What we have here is a snapshot of one fraction of of an event that was clearly constructed in such a way as to stir emotion and sympathy (complete with music). I'm not gonna give this guy as a pass as a law abiding citizen just because he's a pastor. He seemed like he was being belligerent to me. all he had to do was comply and most likely there would have been no tazing, no arrest, and no damage to his property. An alerted dog is PC for a search. now i don't give the police a pass here either. they could have handled it in a much better way. i don't think they needed to use the force that they did and from what i saw it seemed excessive. The trouble with what i saw was that it wasn't the complete picture.

PistolPaul · 7 months ago

fucking sick that this happens in the ' legal world' i mean, this was police doing it...they sound like criminals to me almost..

and ofcourse they were right in some way but they didnt have to beat him up, whats the point, if he even HAD a weapon, why eat him up etc, why not just drag him out of the car, and put handcups on ( how do u spell that)
why throw around with him and stand on his face... they were even laughing at the end

Blobface · 7 months ago

What nobody seems to understand is that your rights are gone.

If you cant even exercise those rights, what rights do you have left?

He exercised his right to not be searched without a warrant (or whatever it is, I'm not American), and the police tazered him for it.

WHY DO YOU HAVE THOSE RIGHTS IF USING THEM GETS YOU ARRESTED?
Can someone please explain this to me?
He's a twat for doing what he legally and morally should be allowed to do?

I agree, police in America are total agressive fuckwits, but how was this man in the wrong when he was only doing what he is ALLOWED TO DO.

MimsieSky · 7 months ago

Excessive force.
Granted the guy should have worked with them a bit more than he did, but he was right to question them. it was totally not cool that they A) broke his window B) Tazored him and C) beat him up. NOT called for AT ALL. he wasn't being violent.

Fuck off to iraq then. You should be ashamed to be an American if you don't know & fight for your rights. Same goes to that law enforcement douche above who said he was resisting arrest. Blow me. That's what your trained to say. No wonder fucking pigs get no respect. I hope those cops lose their jobs & careers cause they aint any better than thugs with so called "law authority." Cause cops are not above the law either.

LaurieA137 · 7 months ago

Forget the search, he states he wouldn't even answer their QUESTIONS from the very beginning. This guy is an idiot. He tried to "make a point" and wasted an hour of his time to do it. Meanwhile, who knows what REAL emergencies these cops were pulled away from to deal with this dope. And he KNEW they were going to break his window... did he stop and say "Ok, wait, I'll get out and talk to you"? No. He thought, "Hey! This will make great footage now that I've pushed these cops into going to extreme measures to deal with me." Maybe the cops were a LITTLE excessive, but the taser was totally called for, and I'm sure their adrenaline was high after dealing with him for so long, and wondering what he is really hiding.

Kasey · 7 months ago

Amber · 7 months ago

I think the only reason the pastor was being perceived as "difficult" is because he was agitated with the cops. They refused to answer his questions or to even bring out the dog again. He had every right to stay in his car and refuse a search. Some of you kept saying he should have just let them do it and get on his way, but why couldn't the police just bring the dog out? Answer his questions? Give him a REASON to allow a search to his private property.
They went completely overboard and were out of line by tazering him. He was not be "resistant" by not allowing a search, he was excersizing his rights. HE DIDN'T EVEN SHOWS SIGNS OF THREAT. His hands were up and visible for Christ's sake!
It just upsets me how the police abuse their power, and I have to commend this pastor for sticking up for himself and his rights. I hope the police get what they deserve and lose their jobs.

Yeah.....

This is BORDER PATROL not random cops. If you cross the US border then you do what they say or you can return to the USA. He did not and could have had a weapon. He resisted a search AT THE BORDER and was then considered a threat. That threat was neutralized by a tazer. Life goes on.

mariog51 · 7 months ago

I live like 65 miles from that border patrol checkpoint and all the border patrol agents that I know are asswholes, well 80% of them. I go by the checkpoint all the time and nothing ever happens. I think that they were just hungry for some action and thought that he did have something in the car and took it way too far. But they found their action.

Keith I. · 7 months ago

I can understand one tazer to make sure he doesn't have a gun or something but to tazer him with 2 different tazers at once is rediculous and then to taze him again even after he is in handcuffs? Fucking pathetic excuses for human beings.

Mickmok · 7 months ago

I think they were wrong yeah but he should have just let them have a look and if there was nothing there they would have just let him go.

Stevo · 7 months ago

Ok first off when a police officer ask you questions and you refuse to answer them it is called obstruction of justice. Sometimes border patrol stations have to do required random checks. This could have been one of those and the fact that he resisted is suspicious to most police officers. Also when dogs alert to vehicles or persons the are trained not to bark, they sit down and sniff. They also warned him in the top video that when you obstruct justice they are permitted to use force " you can get out or we can remove you." And as for the marks on his head. after they pulled him from the car and the tazor subsided you can clearly see in the border patrol video that he resisted arrest physically. You can see him jerking and trying to pull away from the officer who was holding him on the ground. In my opinion he didn't deserve what he got, he should have just done what they told him to do and let them check his car. If he would have done that they would have found nothing and let him on his way. Unless he was actually hiding something.

Yehaw · 7 months ago

I thought no answering questions was your right to be silent? Lying to a cop is definetly Obstruction of justice.

chicostudent · 7 months ago

your right to silence has to be stated. he continued to talk and not respond to their questions. all he had to say was i reserve my right to remain silent. but as you can clearly see from the video he was quiet, even as he knew he was in a dangerous situation.

Lachrymist · 7 months ago

1st let me tell everyone you have to obey all officer commands while in the traffic stops it is a law. 2nd if you feel your rights were violated you don't plead your case there you take it to the courts afterwards. These things happen all the time do I think they should of tazed him ..... no he was just being a douchebag just drag him out. When you are in court you can have the dog present so he can show you the signal he gives they are all different some sit down some lay down some bark three times some even back away.... they are all trained different. Why did you have the camera out unless you were looking for something?

That cop is a dickweed and a fat cunt. Fat ass jerk. Only in the south right? Well, the Dakotas and MN and WI are like the south of the north, so there's that stuff up here too.

anthony · 7 months ago

he was being alittle awkward by not leaving the car when requested and had enough opportunity to comply with the officers which as he was innocent he should have done, however their actions in how they got him out of the car and what they did to him after are completely unacceptable and disciplinary action should be taken.

Lachrymist · 7 months ago

To the people that say they have to inform you what they are arresting you for thats true and false. They don't have to automatically tell you they can detain you up until 24hrs uncharged with suspision. They definitely don't have to tell you while you are locked in your car refusing to come out. My advice take complaints where they need to be with video proof don't try to be the HERO OF JUSTICE worldwide. pick your battles

Alex · 7 months ago

No, they have to tell you what you are under arrest for when they are arresting you. You have the right to know what you are charged with. However, they can keep you locked up for 24 hours without reasonable proof they have a legitmimate claim. Meaning they can charge Johnny Doe with vehicular manslaughter, but they can only keep him locked up for 24 hours without some kind of proof.

Daniel Loop · 7 months ago

This is such a tough situation: if the guy didn't have anything in his car, the majority will say that the cops were wrong and abused their power. If he did, then the opposite will happen: everyone can justify the cops actions. In my opinion, it was ridiculous to do what they did, because they could have just as easily broken the window, then opened the door and dragged him out instead of nocking him unconscious. They should have at least told him what they would do if he continued to resist, since he was not taking any action toward them.

Cree · 7 months ago

No. She shouldn't have let them search the car. This is the united states of America and we should be afraid of our law enforcement, especially if we aren't breaking the law. This is what is wrong with the United states of America. When a man of god can't make his way home without being attacked by our country "protectors."

Ivan · 7 months ago

He does have rights but he was goddamnit just completely shitty to those officers. If you do resist them when their looking for frugs of course your gunna get bloody broken into.As much as it is his fault The bastard police men freaking beat him up. The Tasering is understandable, But Beating the shit out of him. The Officers were completely out of line.

One last thing the Police have the legal right to detain someone 24 hours with no cause. No more than that but that meant the Officer even if there were no drugs was acting legally til after the tasering. Id say he could Get the stitches paid for by the courts but his window was broken in the duty of the law.

Sal Wright · 7 months ago

The dog caught a scent. That's probable cause. From there out, the officers _have_ to investigate, or they are not performing their duties.

10 minutes, and he's on his way.

A real holy man would render unto Caesar. But this whiner is not even an ordinary man, much less a holy one.

Everyone at the airport goes through a metal detector. If you beep, you get searched. The dog is similar. If the police let him go, the same bubble-heads who are sympathizing with this little bubble-headed drama queen would complain the police weren't doing their job.

We have different rights in different contexts. In this context, entering our country, we, the American public, have the right to have you, the American international traveler, searched for contraband, so we, the American public, don't have narcotics being sold in our cities, or illegal aliens in our territory.

If our elected officials choose to put checkpoints on state borders, then yes, it is our civic duty to follow instructions for inspection there as well. If we don't like it, we write our congressmen, and if that doesn't work, we vote in new leadership, as we did recently.

This clown is self-centered, on top of stupid.

If you don't like being searched, don't go. Or better yet, don't come back. But don't insult the entire population of America by putting yourself outside the law.

Zane · 7 months ago

It's called expressing your rights. If you don't express the law, the law will soon be forgotten. He did absolutely nothing wrong, he had every right to resist.

The cops did not even express what they were charging him for. You MUST tell the person what you are charging them for before you are allowed to progress further. They did not even do that, therefore they had no right to do such a thing to him.

Before you start cussing and acting like such a fool, you should gain some background knowledge.

Think before you speak, you dolt.

JJ · 7 months ago

because they are not a loud to under the constitution, say some random person walks up to your door of your car, says let me search the vechile, would you let them? Hell no! Without warrentys police are nothing but fat power hungery assholes who think they have rights to your personal life.

Zippyking · 7 months ago

I'm from Arizona, I've been past those checkpoints before, and those cops think they have powers that normal cops don't.
If you tell a normal cop that you don't consent to searches, you may get a ticket for something stupid (as I have. And no, I didn't have anything in my car, I just believe cops shouldn't be able to search people willy-nilly with no probable cause.), but he's not going to taser you 3 times and beat you till you're bloody.
I hope they show the video in court and have the judge instead go against the cops.
That won't happen though.

Patrick Mauldin · 7 months ago

Exactly what Pony said.

As citizens of the US, we have rights given us by the US Constitution.

This may seem like a relatively stupid reason to not submit to police, but the more we just capitulate the more we lose our rights.

People have a lot more rights than they know. The police just know how to bully them into submitting.

Caleb Myers · 7 months ago

To let them search his car is his prerogative and he didn't "need" to let them. He did the right thing in not allowing them to bully him like that. He'd of been a fool to let them violate his 4th Amendment right! I hope these officers all get fired and face counter lawsuits!

Jordan · 7 months ago

He has the right as an American citizen to refuse a search if there is no probable cause. Also his right were not read to him and they used excessive force when they destroyed his private property

jenners · 7 months ago

EXCUSE ME? Maybe you need to watch that video again. The officer did in fact inform the man why he was being asked to step out of the vehicle. He was under arrest due to the fact that a drug sniffing K-9 alerted border patrol of something suspicious. That officer was doing his job-serving and protecting. What if he was carrying a bomb? Would you feel sorry for him then? That dumbass resisted arrest, which IS a crime. So either way at that point he should have been arrested. Don't be so naive. I agree that there are some, probably a lot, of cops who abuse their power, however, that is not what happened here.

Zane · 7 months ago

Well then why didn't they do it again? There's no decisive proof that the dog did or didn't bark judging from that video.

But if there was indeed something dangerous there would have been no need to hold the dog back and ignore the question about bringing the dog a second time.

Zane · 7 months ago

Sorry for the double post but I would like to add something.

You're certainly looking at it from the cops' perspective. But how about you look at it from the Pastor's perspective?

Here, lets replace him with you.

You're coming from work, and a bunch of cops decide to stop you. You ask for their reason and after a bit of talking they finally tell you that you're being accused of having drugs and/or a dead body due to a dog who did nothing but sniff. It didn't bark, it didn't make a sound, it just sniffed and left.

Then after you ask the what the dog was supposed to do to indicate the confirmation of drugs and/or a dead body, they ignore you. Then they break your window and taser you, slam your head into a broken window and then drop you on the ground and stomp on your head.

Once again I will say this, the cops did not have to right to use such brute force, and I certainly don't think you would love for this to happen to you. Especially being accused of something you had not done.

I'll say this once more. Think before you speak, or in this case, type.

otto · 7 months ago

No you pay attention you stoopid girl. The Dog didnt do anything the cops were lying about the dog!

Micah · 7 months ago

...They have to have a justifiable reason to arrest a person.

Zippyking · 7 months ago

First of all, you can't be arrested for something they think happened.
You can't be arrested for cops thinking you have drugs on your person.
They have to have PROOF, they have to have the drugs in their possession. They said he had drugs in his trunk, yet he didn't have any.
Yes he is going to be arrested for resisting arrest for that hour that he barricaded himself in the car, and possibly for obstructing justice.
Also when they show the actual surveillance video of the dog walking by and not actually finding anything, I'm sure the judge will see this for what it is; Cops trampling over someones rights and using obsessive force because someone got a little overzealous about their rights.

Halftard · 7 months ago

Jenners, if the dog doesn't bark audibly and they refuse to let him see the dog do it again to prove the point. Even if they did have the right to search him, even if he did refuse to get out the car, tasering him multiple times, then shoving his head into glass HARD (11 stitches) then locking him in a trailer and jeering at him without any sort of medical care when they DIDN'T FIND JACK SHIT in his car is an insane overuse of force.

The only thing the cop did was keep on reminding him that he was a cop.
A lot of cops are like that, they just want to try to prove that they're super superior to everyone else cause they have a gun.

MistFir3 · 7 months ago

From just what those videos said, the dog showed no suspicion, therefore there was no probable cause. So he wasn't resisting arrest, just sticking to his rights.

Gun · 7 months ago

incorrect.

Skyu · 7 months ago

Ok I do agree that he should have gotten out of the car but in a way he does have the right to question an be given a reason. It is apart of the law for the accused to be told why he was being arrested. They should have told him the truth and not think they were wrong, by not taking out the dog when he asked, because he was sure as hell telling the truth.

Then all the abuse they gave him is the bigger crime. Tazed like crazy, grinding your face in glass, and then having your head stepped on? What kind of arrest is that?

Noel · 7 months ago

Exactly... so those cops were way pass wrong.

frostbitn · 7 months ago

Yeah but every dog's detection signal differs. he may have just raised his paw behind the car which he would not have seen. If you ask me, if you have nothing to hide, let them search the damn car. Yeah they dont have the right unless you give them permission, but every cop has power deficiency issues and tries to take it out on everyone elese. Ive been stopped 3 times and all times bogus. I respected the cop and answered all their questions and they had to let me go because I had done nothing wrong. Just accept whatever they want especially if all they want is to look in your trunk.

Dudethathatesdumbdudes · 7 months ago

Federal law permit the Border Patrol to establish checkpoints up to 100 miles inside the U.S. Border patrol are allowed to use k9s. Lets say they brought the k9 out again.
What would the man do?

Would he question the dog?
Maybe get Eddie Murphy on the phone to translate what the dog is saying

Did he himself train the dog? How would he know what to look for?

He was informed on video tape that he was under arrest for failure to comply. Not only did he resist to that. He started resisting once he refused the search of the vehicle ( which by the way was a rental car so who knows what the dog sensed on the vehicle).

He practically instigated the whole thing. Conveniently having the camera at hand. If they are going to break the window. You already know they are making their way in so why not unlock the door?

The first video only shows a portion of the incident. He fills in the gaps on his second video. He spoke about the incident. How are we to believe him when in he clearly has no idea how his civil rights work.

I loved the "Border Patrol Surveillance Video" portion of the first vid. The music makes it look like beating the shit out of a Moron/religious not job is a beautiful thing.

seth · 7 months ago

How was he resisting arrest? He did not let them search the car, that was his right. Then they say "Oh well you are under arrest" without giving him a valid reason. All the cop had to do was call the dog back over...what is the big deal? Breaking the window and using a taser gun on him was not the answer.

I like how you say "What if he had a bomb on him" like that is supposed to hold any weight for this particular incident. If every cop could use the "what if" excuse there would be even more unjustified arrests every day. This was stupid, every cop involved whether they were just spectating or actually involved should be suspended or fired. You don't treat other people like they are pieces of shit and have no rights whether you are a cop, the president, or anybody. I would have love to seen the pastor pull a deagle out and pistol whip him in the dome, stupid fucking cop who doesn't even know peoples rights. I'm glad those are the type of people that are enforcing the law for us, idiots.

Gun · 7 months ago

100% agree. i've seen this guy egg on cops in videos before. he's looking for trouble for the sake of self glorification.
had he stepped out of the car when asked, they would have found nothing, and he would have been on his way in 15 minutes.

if you start refusing to comply with an officer, it becomes probable cause.

kirsten · 7 months ago

They didnt give him a reason for being under arrest eccept resist but they didnt even have a right to to ask him to get out in the first place.. anyways its all bullshit. People go crazy when they get a little bit of power.. I wouldnt doubt that they like the violence.

david · 7 months ago

However if the use of a drug dog and saying it found something (according to the cops) could be used to throw this out in court forever. By setting precedent that they its not probable cause. (as you cant have probable cause because a dog sniffed something when it obviously didn't)

They had no right to arrest him, they didn't have probable cause because they didn't get signaled by the dog drugs were in the car (according to him). If they were drug sniffing, and they did get signaled by the dogs, dogs should no longer be allowed for obtaining probable cause. Because obviously they can not be trusted. (No drugs or anything else were found)


He resisted arrest (for a crime which he did not commit. He refused a search which was within his rights, (and the search was not warranted) Boarder searches are legal, this was not a boarder search, this was well within the nations boarders. The cops did not inform him about shit for which he was breaking the law. The used execessive force, they did not even attempt to use natural means to subdue him after breaking the windows. They tased him multiple times. (he was calm, collected, and did not appear to pose any phyical threat to the cops, as such tasers werent warranted.

the dogs didnt find shit. - this is the only part you need to focus on. (DOGS DIDNT FIND SHIT, HE WAS RIGHT, COPS WERE WRONG) This event is just one of many which fuels the hatred for police in this country. (They are fucking dirty, everyone of them has at one point fucking done something illegal, and not prosecuted themselves. They have let friends and family off the hook. FUCK THE POLICE.

Crashf0rce · 7 months ago

They didnt have to taser him, or crush his head into the ground. That many officers could of just smashed the windows open then remove him without the need for tasering. (Of course I don't think they had the right to arrest him in the first place).

And one more thing: Resisting arrest is illegal, but they had no grounds for arresting him in the first place, so I don't think it was his fault.

All this because cops saw the dog sniff near the back of his car.... I would hate that dog if I was the pastor lol.

spencer · 7 months ago

if the dog alerted them why didn't they find anything?

614 · 7 months ago

wow did you just compare a totally innocent man to a person carrying a bomb? even if he had a bomb thats excesive force i don't think anyone would care if he had just been tasered once because he was in fact resisting arrest and then removed but he was repeatedly taser and beaten which i believe is unexcusable

Caleb Myers · 7 months ago

The burden of proof is not on the man. It's on the police. If the dog truly "detected" drugs in that vehicle, then it needs to be sold to a nice home for a family to look after it because it's worthless to the Force! He was not resisting arrest, he was asking them to state the cause of the arrest. He then asked the officers to bring the dog back out, they would not. When they found nothing in his vehicle, that should've been a clue that an apology should have been issued and him released. Now, they will face a lawsuit because there's no way these videos won't inspire a lawyer to take the case. Perhaps even the ACLU or ACLJ.

Justin · 7 months ago

i dont know if you heard the pastors side of the story. he said the dog did nothing to alert the police. he was being falsely accused of something he didnt do. would you let the cops arrest you just cause "they have the power to"? this man had done nothing wrong and the dog did nothing to alert the cops. if this is so, the cops were definitely over reacting. in my opinion, each one of those cops who arrested him should have been arrested themselves for making a huge screw-up

Matty Burne · 7 months ago

The guy wanted to know what the hell he was being charged with. Then all of a sudden the police taser him. That's complete abusement of your authority.

Tater · 7 months ago

actually just because you refuse to let police search your vehicle that does not give them the right to arrest. They are required by law to obtain a warrant to search a vehicle if permission was not given by the vehicle owner. My feelings are that the man was completely within his rights to not allow them to search the vehicle.

Shed · 7 months ago

Perhaps you need to watch them both again? He politely asked for the dog to come back to re-evaluate. The leader asked the grunts for it to be brought back out when they replied "no". They were caught in their own lie, so, to save humiliation, they just kicked his arse.

Instead, they've just fucked themselves over. No doubt that something has happened to these officers. I doubt they've been fired, but I'm absolutely sure they've fucked their careers.

Jordan · 7 months ago

Are you kidding, maybe YOU should watch the video again, he didn't resist arrest, he demanded reason, which is in the bill of rights, that they must have a reason, and they must have a warrant for search aswell. your the fucking idiot. he was practically tortured for fun. what you just said is a load of shit. he has his rights, they have no proof, they get scared, they beat him senseless, hes going to court, they get screwed, they did exceed their power, entirely, if you think the Bill of Rights is no big deal, i recommend a catscan

i cant stand cops · 7 months ago

And to add, There was no reason for them to shove his face in broken glass and to tase him more than once

Lynn · 7 months ago

it was excessive force once they used tasers and a one guy who was not resisting physically, he even followed their orders to cover his face. If he was just fuck off and completely disregarded those orders yes tasers could have been necessary. but there should not be any reason a large group of cops should feel threatened enough to tase on man who was only verbally resisting.

Levi · 7 months ago

hey may have been placed under arrest, yes. But, they have to tell him what he under arrest for.

Kafer · 7 months ago

There is a certain level of force a police officer, let alone a group of officers should use in any situation. Even if they did have probable cause, which the basically did, that is no reason to do that much damage to someone. A single shot from a tazer gun WILL render you motionless and uncontrollable and even if he had a weapon, while under the shock of a tazer gun the amount of force necessary to do that to a person's face is completely uncalled for and nothing needed to be done besides handcuffing.

So your right, he was just doing his job, but he did it TERRIBLY. Given the situation there is no excuse for the level of force used against him, and we do have certain rights as far as questioning goes, and the actions of these cops lead my to be very suspicious of their intent.
They were just doing their job at first, but they DID abuse their power by using a level of force that was unwarranted given the circumstances. The man was being overly difficult with them but there is a certain level of privacy we are entitle to as a right

Please don't act like these cops did NOTHING wrong.

PS: Oh by the way, for all you who are against the police here, many police dogs are trained to have very subtle signals that civilians don't necessarily notice. But that doesn't change the fact that they wouldn't bring it back out, which is very suspicious. However, since they found nothing, I wouldn't be surprised if the dog didn't in fact give the signal.

Morgan · 7 months ago

I agree that he should have let them search because an officer doesn't need to explain how they know the dog had come to the conclusion of something that was possibly dangerous BUT NO WAY in hell should they have used SO much force to the point where the man need so many stitches for NOT resisting arrest.

mcleod · 7 months ago

Maybe YOU should watch the videos again. The officers used unnecessary force on someone attempting to act on his fourth amendment. He showed no physical resistance and they tased him multiple times and forced his head into glass afterward s. Every one of those officers involved should be fired and spend a little jail time themselves.

wow a lot of you guys are missing the point. They can't just smash out your windows and taser you multiple times without you doing anything at all.

and if police wanted to search my car for no reason I'd say no because it'd be a waste of my time. I know there is nothing illegal in my car and unless they have good reasons they aren't searching my car

Even if he deserved to be arrested, which is yet to be determined, he definately didnt deserve to be tazered, bloodied, and mocked! That is a complete abuse of power and if a person is not physically resisting, they certainly don't deserve to be tazered, or bashed into broken glass. Had he lost an eye, or died, I'm sure you would still be saying that he deserved it.... which he did not.

ok to all you people who think the police had the right to search his car think of this,

A police man pulls you over and asks you to strip down because their dog showed you had drugs or something in your clothes. Would you do it then? The way I see it its the same example of what happened to this man. He refused to be searched like you wouldn't want the police to strip search you when they didn't even had a good enough reason.
People have rights for a reason!

Alesia · 7 months ago

Cops don't ask people to strip down for a strip search. They pat them down and if the dog still smells someting, then they'll go from there.

How about you think about this?

People had stuff up their poop holes all the time, and if dogs smell it, guess what...there WILL be a cavity search.

CommonSenselessVideo · 7 months ago

gotta love the miranda rights that they are supposed to give you.

jojo · 7 months ago

Miranda is given only to preserve statements you make while 1) in custody, and 2) being interrogated. So, if you're not in custody, doesn't matter if you weren't read your rights, and if you're not being interrogated doesn't matter if you weren't read your rights.

If you are in custody, being interrogated, and you are not read them, then what you say can't be used against you (generally, but there are some exceptions to that). You have no right to have your rights read to you. It only keeps what comes out of your mouth usable in a court of law.

Carly · 7 months ago

Because they were trying to arrest him, he should have been read his Miranda Rights while being taken into custody, i.e. when he was being taserd. Since that is obviously an inconvenient time though, he should have been immediately read his rights after being thrown on the ground. Because there does not appear to have been any questioning from that time until the time he was finally read his rights, it probably wont hold up in the court. However, once he was initially tasered, it was clearly demonstrated that he was not resisting and therefore they had no reason to continue to taser him. That is just my interpretation of what I have been taught of the law.

My personal opinion is that the police should have done some kind of profiling and they should have come to see he was not very suspicious looking. Upon seeing that, they should have then answered his questions about his rights. If they had answered his question and shown him libel proof of probable cause, then he most likely would have cooperated. The police used excessive force and all involved in the tasering should have their badges taken away for abuse of power.

If that is true why is it bad?

Police sometimes dress up as prostitutes or drug deals to catch criminals.

LoafMasta88 · 7 months ago

why does this happen is the U.S. he asks? Cause he's a fuckn' retard. If you had nothing, just let them search it for five minuets and let you go rather than waste hours and a beating all over nothing. You didn't see the dog, you don't know how they're trained and what signals they give, you don't have the right to order them to bring the dog back out, and even if you were in the right all you had to do was swallow your pride and get out for a few minuets. Thats it. Same thing happend to me like 2 years ago. The dog hit my car far no reason cause some times they make mistakes, I let them search my car and I went on my way. Took about 20 mn. If I had refused to get out and all like he did, same thing would have happened to me. Common sense.

Sandy · 7 months ago

It's about knowing your rights. I would absolutely never let anyone search me, my car, or my home without a warrant. It is important for you to exercise your 4th ammendment rights. I'm sure that's why they got so mad at him. Because most people don't know their rights, and he does. It's not about doing what's easy, it's the principle of it all. I would never have anything to hide, but I'll be damned if they're going to search me just because they feel like it.

jenners · 7 months ago

Your 4th amendment right is not applicable if there is reason to believe that they have a reason to search. If a cop came to your front door and smelled marijuana or saw a bunch of lines on a mirror they can, and will, search you without any need for a warrant.

Zippyking · 7 months ago

Actually you're wrong.
There was a supreme court case that basically said "You need a warrant to search a house" No exceptions.

A car is different, if they smell it or see it they have a right to search, and if you refuse you are now resisting arrest, which is why once they said the dog found something, which it didn't, he should have got out of the car and taken the video to a lawyer and sued the hell out of them. I'm kind of sad he didn't because he might have thrown that chance out of the window.

Maxorz · 7 months ago

If he actually did have drugs or a dead body on the back of his car, what do you think the police shouldn't done? That's what the border patrol is about, they are supposed to check everything that goes through. Policemen are allowed to check your cars whenever you are entering a country or a state. It'd be like going on an airplane without having your luggage checked. If not, how are they supposed to stop drug and weapon trafficking?

And what they did after breaking the window, is pretty much "asshole behavior", but I don't think it's illegal due to the fact that he resisted arrest, and as far as they are concerned he could have a bomb trigger on his pocket.

Viet · 7 months ago

No, they can't even if they saw it. They would have to ask permission from an occupant of the home first and if denied, they would have to come back with a search warrant. If not, then the search and evidence is completely false.

Stormhame · 7 months ago

You are wrong. If a cop comes to your front door and smells mary jane, he cannot search your home. He has to go to the judge and present probable cause to get a warrant to search your home. Take a government class. Cops can't just do anything.

Now, with a car, its different. If they find probable cause they can go ahead and search your car without a warrant. While I think that the guy should have just got out of the car, the cops went way too fucking far and I hope they get their asses kicked.

William · 7 months ago

Shoot the police first?!?!?! are you stupid? first of all if the guy dies it is murder and you will be known as a cop killer. If he doesn't die then you will be charged with attempted murder along with felonious assault (depending on the state laws). I know that you have a right to say quite a bit in the united states that is protected. But one thing that you should not do is piss off those whose job is to protect and serve you. The Highway officer was doing what he felt was right because he was told that the man in the car had some kind of contraband in the vehicle. From that point on you MUST listen to orders and do what is told of you. He is an officer of the law and is given the right to force you out of the car if you are being uncooperative...listen to the police at all times.

If he was wrong in taking you out of the car then go to court and see what you can do. But until then the law tells you to listen to the officer. DO IT!

They just want power. If you stand up for your rights, that means the cops have less power, which is pretty fuckin' scary when your a power-hungry pig. But at least there are good cops here, too (But these guys sure as hell aren't among them).

Darcy · 7 months ago

Just clearing up some misconceptions:

1) Police may search your car without a warrant. They cannot do so without demonstrateable reasonable expectation of evidence of a crime being present. A positive K9 inspection is acceptable.

2) The pastor has the right to observe the police. This means he has the right to videotape, and he also has the right to witness a K9 inspection before the police may search his vehicle.

3) The police may detain the pastor for up to 72 hours in most states, without arrest. However, if the police office states his intent to arrest vs. detain, than the pastor has the right to know what he is being arrested for. The cop must announce a specific criminal offence as defined by the state's criminal code.

4) The pastor has no right to resist arrest, even arrest he feels is unlawful. In this situation, once the police chose to declare their intention to arrest, the pastor has the legal obligation to comply. His proper response to such an unlawful arrest is not to refuse it, but to bring it to the courts formal attention. This can be done by a complaint with the police department, state department or court system, and/or through the placing of criminal charges and/or civil lawsuit. Of course, always speak with your lawyer.

treppab · 7 months ago

I am so glad somebody knows what they are talking about.

while the pastor thought they were wrong in asking him to step out of the car, if he had nothing to hide, then why didn't he just get out of the car and let them search it.

If you start the show the cops a little resistance then they are going to get pissed off and get angry and force will be used, but if you are nice to them and let them do their job (which we all don't agree with and power is an issue) then things will go a lot smoother.

was force used - yes, but the pastor also should not have let it get to that point. He is making it seem to the officers that he has something to hide.

9-11 is nothing the same. The terrorists on those planes had nothing really suspicious on them which gave airport security no reason to suspect anything unusual. It was the fact that the terrorists used household supplies and common items which misled the airport security. This is, essentially, police brutality no matter who the person is. They should've brought back the K9 when he asked them too if they had nothing to hide.

kepin · 7 months ago

randy · 7 months ago

There are two points here:

1) If he did nothing wrong, and the police officers and boder patrol truly had no probably cause to arrest him, he has the right to leave.

2) If they DID have probable cause, they should have stopped after one taser, and handcuffing on the ground. Even then, i don't see the reason for using a taser. Just because it's "non-lethal" doesn't make it your toy to use on people whenever you want. And there have been deaths connected to cops tazering people, so its not 100% safe. What if the guy has a heart condition? You'd feel pretty fucking dumb after finding he was innocent, AND a pastor.

I'm surprised there hasn't been some crazy guy going around taking revenge on these idiots for abuse. The suspensions, fines, firings, aren't enough. Take the cop in a back alley and taze his ass 4 times, step on his head with your boots, and ground his face into broken glass. Then maybe break a bone or two, leave him with a souvinear.

balla · 7 months ago

what a pussy move the guy that got tazed wasnt even looking.

Alesia · 7 months ago

Alright, my dad's a cop, and yes, I know some cops can abuse their power, but I believe the pastor put himself in that position.

As we all saw and heard in the video the cop asked him to exit his car due to the dog alerting them for whatever reason. Those who have nothing to hide, and those who are not thinking they are above the law, would have gotten out of the car to prove the cops wrong.

Dogs (regardless of what they are trained to sniff out) can make mistakes (although very rarely due to their training). He was told the dog smelt something, and with the drug issues in Mexico the border control are cracking down on drugs (and always have).

All of that could have been prevent if he got out of his car. And becaue he was being beligerent with the cops and not doing as asked, they had every authority to tazer him. When it comes to uncooperative suspects and in situations as his, it's taze first, read him his rights later (regardless of location).

I personally believe he was putting the border control to the test. It was almost like he was testing them to see how serious they truly are.

I have no sympathy for him.

As for the cop who was speaking to him, yeah...the cop should have chosen better words to get the man to listen, but he did nothing out of regulations. And because we did not see inside the car as the pulled him out, we do not know if he is fabricating them beating him or if, when drug from the car, he cut his forehead on the glass that would have been on his seat and floor.

Alesia · 7 months ago

Oh, and let me add, the cops didn't need a warrant to search his car because there was probable cause.

Come on people, think about it! I'm sure everyone has watched an episode of COPS before. When have cops EVER needed a warrant to search cars in the US during ANY pull over? If they smell something on the people breath, they tell them to get out and they search the car.

In this case, they dog smelt something. Which means they had probable cause.

Stop blaming the cops for the stupidity of this man. I still say he was testing the system. I have no sympathy for someone who is asking for consequences.

Mal · 7 months ago

I think the Pastor is just standing up for his own beliefs and for his rights. If he knows the police have no warrant to search his car, then he's going to tell them they can't. He's obviously stubborn, but does that make him a bad person? The man just wanted the police to know they can't do that, and that he won't obey their commands, because he doesn't have to. So the police got angry that this person was refusing to be arrested for nothing.
The police officer gave no specific reason to place him under arrest, and then ended up saying "I'm an officer you have to obey me." "I'm placing you under arrest for resisting arrest." (Being arrested for resisting arrest for what though?)

Now I see that because the pastor was stubborn and refused to let them search his car, that would spark suspicion and all, but to taser him as much as they did? It kind of reminds me of that situation in Vancouver airport where the man died because the police did not handle the situation correctly (from what I heard anyways.) Then to proceed to assault (with another taser) and push his head into the ground with glass on it. THEN to go and mock him? Who knows what the police said, but I am so far on the pastor's side. Having been through a similar event myself, except i was labeled a criminal for BEING assaulted out of no where since I was 18 (being a teenager was good enough reason for them to not take me seriously), I can see how frustrated, angry and hurt he is. He probably is in a state of shock over it. To have been violated like that takes time to sink in, in some cases.

Excessive force, abuse of power. The pastor was stubborn, and confrontational of the police officer's motives. It's difficult to say what'll happen, because there is only one victim, and will the police officers bull shit their statements to make them all pile up against him? I'd hate for that situation to turn from bad to horrible.

We are too obsessed with power, we are too greedy once we have it.

CornellLawStudent · 7 months ago

Ok I'm a law student at Cornell University and here's the low-down on what happened.

1) Refusing to answer questions (we're talking about the ones they initially asked such as what are you doing etc. etc.) gives them probable cause. Just because you refuse, does not mean that they can let you through. That makes them suspicious and gave them the right to bring in the dog.

2) Dogs do not need to make a noise when they find something. They often will mark the drugs by pawing at the spot where they are hidden. If there was nothing illegal and they did lie, then they acted wrong

3) Resisting Arrest is a crime you can be charged with and arrested for. They did have the right to taze you THE FIRST TIME. The beating and glass in your head and additional tazes were not called for because you ceased to resist.

Tally : Pastor 1 Cops 1

4) Mocking you was not called for though they will get away with that.

5) You were obviously in a poor state medically and should not have been slowed in the process of receiving medical care.

Tally: Pastor 2 Cops 1

Summary: You will be most likely be found guilty of resisting arrest. Your lawyer may be able to determine that the original charge was false but that may be hard. Sue as soon as you have the chance for damages against the police department because they did act wrong.

It is the right of every free citizen to deny the police unless they have probable cause, which in this case, if we believe the pastor, they did not. Unfortunately for him the videos do not prove this. It makes me sick that some cops are such power abusing assholes, I hope they all get the shit kicked out of them until they scream and whine some day so they know what it feels like.

Silvey · 7 months ago

It would've been better for Pastor Man to just get out of the car when he was first asked to rather than refusing, no matter what the situation. If you have nothing to hide, get out of the car and let the police inspect it. Once they believe that they have 'probable cause', your resisting only makes matters worse.

That said, and while I believe both parties were in the wrong, those police officers had absolutely no reason to taser the Pastor more than once, if at all. He obviously had no weapon, he wasn't trying to hurt anyone, and the police just used excessive force. You also don't grind an unarmed person's face into broken glass, OR try to crush their head into asphalt while they're being cuffed.

While Pastor Man should've shut the hell up and just gotten out of the car, the police abused their power, and made a routine stop into a nightmare for this man.

MisanthropicFlame · 7 months ago

Why? It happens because cops love to abuse their powers, doesn't matter what country you live in they love power and they don't care how they use it. People should just revolt against cops and show them what abuse of power feels like.

Tyler · 7 months ago

why didn't he just show them there was nothing there? whoopdeefucking do they may have had no right to search him, but i'd just let them look, i don't have anything to hide...
were the police wrong, yes, was he wrong, yes
none of this would have happened if he had just opened his trunk and said "look, there are my clothes, no drugs"

Matt · 7 months ago

Well, I am pretty sure the guy is retarded...
People just need to comply to people who are hired to protect the safety of others. So I feel like they had probable cause.
But, for getting tased. I think it's funny!!! That's what he gets for refusing to cooperate and get it over with. D-Bag = yes.

Jeff Holmes · 7 months ago

This Pastor does not have the right to refuse to disobey the police in this situation. They told him a police dog alerted at his car. This is what is known in legal terms as probable cause this gives the police the right to conduct a lawful search of the car. Therefore the 'Pastor' was obstructing justice or at the very least interfering with the police in the performance of their lawful duty. If I was paying correct attention he was at some kind of border crossing and there are signs everywhere at most border crossings stating that random searches are authorized.

The police were just doing their jobs and the Pastor should have known better than to let it go that far. If I didn't think that anyone could be that stupid, I would say he did it just to see what the reaction would be and possibly get his 15 minutes of fame.

Sammy · 7 months ago

I watched the video of the incident and him explaining.

What happen off camera I can't really say anything about because he can just be making stuff up... But from what I saw from the incident wouldn't have it been easier for him to just have come out of the car? I think they would have just asked a couple questions searched the car and found nothing and let him on his way.

I would have liked to see what happened in the very beginning.

Supernewman · 7 months ago

You do realize all of you commenting are either arguing on the two points of; The Pastor is mostly to blame because he could have made it easier if he just didn't exercise his RIGHTS, or The Cops were mostly to blame because they acted outside of their authority with excessive force.

Everyone has a right to be an asshole, and frankly the guy has an explanation video up the next day, obviously he wasn't charged with anything, meaning they didn't find anything. Taser's aren't meant to be used in that situation, he was highly outnumbered and the officers had an advantage on him, regardless if he had any weapon.

Frankly it doesn't matter who he is, there have been a number of people who have died from Taser's, in Canada there was one recently that I remember. And he had a lot of media coverage, so it doesn't change things that he's a pastor. If he was there over an hour, why didn't they acquire, or at least try to acquire, a warrant? If they think they had a right to arrest him, shouldn't they be able to get a warrant?

Legally he did nothing wrong and the cops are completely to blame, also he wasn't belligerent. Belligerent means he's warlike or aggresively hostile.

Jeff · 7 months ago

How dare this guy actually ask the cop to tell him what law he was breaking? Doesn’t he know the cops can do what they want because they want? I mean WTF does guy think is in the USA? P.S. If you get your ass kicked for using your right, then you don’t really have them !!

ihavenoidea · 7 months ago

Well, from what's shown I would say the force is excessive, but if you go look at some of his other videos he's getting in an awful lot of similar situations. I think he was trying to start something by being belligerent, and got more than he wanted/deserved. I don't know what the regulations are at these checkpoints, but I kinda get the point he's trying to make in one of his other videos when he asks what he's under suspicion for and the cop says he has no idea. I started off sympathetic for the pastor, but I see why the police were suspicious too. Don't know why the fuck they'd rough him up that bad though.

wooday · 7 months ago

what i find funny is normal people have worse consequences, i mean this guy clearly did nothing wrong but because that retard thought he did he gets tasered.. and also if a person punches someone else they probably get a night in a cell and a slap on the wrist, punch a police officer and its a whole other crime, since when were they kings of the planet?

Funk_Masta_T · 7 months ago

The pastor was completely in the right. The police were abusing authority given to them. Granted, if he had nothing to hide, it wouldn't have mattered if he got out of the car, but it was his right not to, and also his right to tell the cops to go shove it.

Abused.

Effyness · 7 months ago

Okay, this is obviously a two-sided issue.

Firstly, I'd like to mention that the police DID use excessive force. I do believe that they had no need to taser him. The rest of his story has yet to be proved, but if it does turn out to be proved, then the police were also wrong in hurting him even more.

Secondly, there's the issue of whether or not he deserved it. Well, this in itself is a stupid question. Whether or not he deserved it, if we could all go around shoving tasers at people who we thought deserved it, this country would be more chaotic than it already is. No, the real issue is: could he have avoided this by simply complying with the police?

Some people say that "if you are so willing to give up your rights, then maybe you don't deserve to have them". Oh please. This strikes me as incredibly naive. Think about it: surely there has been a time in your life where a teacher or another authority figure has asked you to do something. You say no and argue that you have the right not to, but in the end, you simply end up in more trouble.

Do you get my point? Surely, a police officer is different from a teacher. But think about this from the officer's point of view: this guy might have something suspicious on him, and he refuses to let you search his car. Obviously, you would think something's up. Of course, in the end, there was nothing to be found. But the police have to operate as if every scenario were a worst-case scenario, for our safety. It's like someone said before, would you feel very safe if airport security let someone onto your plane who wouldn't let their bags be inspected?

In the end, it doesn't come down to all the technical mumbo jumbo involving rights and rules and yada yada yada. It comes down to COMMON SENSE.

you know, I dont know much about cops authority and all that stuff, but I think cops dont do their job very good, I got a ticket the other day, for changing lanes.... like seriously? like, the closest car behind me was about 6 car lengths away and the ones in front were about 5, and that was throughout all 4 lanes, so Im on the far left, trying to get to my exit, which is 2 miles away, so i turn on my blinker, and within like 1/2 a mile i go all the way to the right lane, the cop turns on his syren about 1 mile away from my exit, and says, i was changing lanes very aggressively, on the ticket, it says, "changing lanes while unsafe" and there was nothign else, he didnt put my speed on there, or anything, and I never really do anything bad, like some of these jackasses who think that the far left lane is for going 10 miles over the speed limit, and i dont see them getting pulled over... shesh, if i was the pastor, i would sew the piss outta them

3L6U5AN0 · 7 months ago

There was no abuse of power. He does not have the right to refuse compliance when a police officer says you are under arrest. He did just that, and that is why the police officers used the force that they did to gain control of the situation. If he believes his rights have been violated, he can take it up in court later.

If a police officer comes around a corner of a building and points a gun at you and says "put your hands up, you're under arrest", you do not have the right to refuse to his commands, even if you just happened to be walking by and know for a fact you have done nothing wrong.

These secondary border patrol checkpoints were put there to deter the illegal trafficking of drugs and illegal aliens into this country that get past the primary checkpoints. Not everything gets caught at the primary checkpoints, the evidence being all the illegal aliens and illegal drugs in this country that do come from most of latin america.

3L6U5AN0 · 7 months ago

One other thing that people don't know from this person. Baptist Pastor Steven L. Anderson is out to make a name for himself. This is not his first time run in with the law, he has quite a few videos of him confronting, not just the border patrol, but police officers in other circumstances.


Don't take my word for it, go look at the videos yourself, his username on youtube is sanderson1611

The videos I recommend you seeing are the following,

"Abusive Border Patrol Agents w/ Nun Chucks at NM Checkpoint"

"Policeman with a Machine Gun harasses US Citizens at PHX airport"

"Another Cop Harrasses me for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON *Minnesota"

"The Coming American Police State"

You should also see some of his sermons on the same channel to understand where this pastor is coming from.


He has a big problem with authority and you can see this in his videos and how he talks to the law enforcement.

In one of his videos he walks up to a cop at night shining his light at him and refuses to stop shining his light at the cops face.

Now I ask any of you, who in their right mind thinks any citizen can do that to a police officer?



GO CHECK OUT HIS OTHER VIDEOS BEFORE YOU PASS JUDGEMENT OVER THIS VIDEO!!

Zippyking · 7 months ago

Wow, I had no idea.
I went and looked at them, and now this just seems sad.
However most of the cops are just as wrong as he is, they get angry and make rash decisions. He intentionally argues with them until they snap.. This guy must be brain damaged.

Skyu · 7 months ago

hold on a second. FIRST off he had NO weapons or any sort of defense he was just ONE guy asking WHY he was being searched. He even asked them to bring the dog out and tried to prove him wrong instead "I'm a cop you have to obey me." It's like some random older guy talks to your daughter and says come with me because I'm older than you. Would you let him take your daughter? I didn't think so.

Even if he does have a problem with authority I don't think you deserve the punishment he got. Flashlight in your face? What will that do? Beating your ass till your face was covered in blood could have caused some sort of head trauma.

For fuck's sake he didn't even need to be tazered! Break the window, unlock the car door and get him out as if he would stop that...there was like 10 of them.

Seriously he did NOTHING wrong, he asked the right questions and didn't get his answers.

Antony neal · 7 months ago

What a load of shit. So your basically saying cops have a the right to tell you do what ever they want? Maybe they do legally, i don’t know I am not a lawyer with training in the USA. But if you think that there behaviour was ethically acceptable your mind is fucked. From the story it looked like the cops didn’t like that he wasn’t letting them fuck with him so they decided to torture him for a bit for fun. But even if they had a good reason to believe he was breaking the law there was no reason they had to tazer him 3+ times or fuck up his head like that. They could have just dragged him out of the car there where like 5 of them or if they where worried about him stabbing them or some thing a single tazer would have been enough to incapacitate him.

Supernewman · 7 months ago

It is an abuse of power because of the force they used to "gain control of the situation." Cops are trained to only use tasers as a less lethal alternative to guns, even in Canada RCMP officers are pepper spayed during training, so they understand it's power so they don't just go around spraying people. And I'm pretty sure the same usually goes for tasers.

They are trained in far more things then the weapons they carry, and when it comes down to it, tasers haven't been positively portrayed in the media lately, so it's just a stupid move for the cops to make. We live in a digital age where all information spreads like wildfire, and they use a weapon under-fire across the world, that the UN Committee Against Torture even declared the use of as an act of torture that can lead to death.

The officers were wrong to do what they did, it was more or less arbitrary arrest and detention which is protected against. People think cops have WAY more power then they really do.

Zippyking · 7 months ago

The only thing you forget is that if a cop did in fact walk up to you and said you're under arrest, you have the right to ask for what.
And if they don't tell you, you can file a complaint against the police officer.
But you should never argue after a police officer declares his intent to arrest, otherwise you are potentially resisting.

I agree that there was excessive force. But why did he refuse to answer any of the police officer's questions? Was he trying to hide something? This was before they asked to search his car. If he had simply answered the questions they probably would have let him move along without having to get the dog, asked to search his car, and taser him. Of course it was outrageous what the cops did, but seriously, answer the questions (if they are reasonable, he never specified that) and get on with your life.

Looks like an agenda is being followed and it's scary.

Valerie · 7 months ago

If he was at a checkpoint and the dog alerted he can't just drive away, as it appears on the video. That is federal property and the Border Patrol Agents are government employees.

He refused to get out of the car after the dog alerted. The Border Patrol at that point has every reason to then even strip down the car. The guy should have gotten out of his car and just listened to the police officer. They had every right to taser him. He wouldn't get out of the car and they didn't know if he had any weapons in there.

Even if he said I don't have any weapons, they are suppose to just believe him? Yeah, I think not. They had every right to protect themselves and take measures to make sure everyone else stayed safe.

The only reason this is big news is because this guy is a Pastor, if it was any other person it wouldn't be a big deal.

Martini · 7 months ago

probable cause is required for entering/searching a vertical/home such as if drugs are detected in your car or a person running from the cops enters a house. A judge can overturn evidence at a later date if the probable cause is weak .

Probable cause is needed for a warrant just a warrant is more for a criminal investigation(as in they can destroy walls/wire taps) probable cause is for on the spot things like traffic stops were they cant take your car apart piece by piece but they can break windows and stuff if there a suspect inside.

I can understand this guys point of view; he hadn't done anything wrong and he didn't feel he needed to comply because of that. However, he could have been carrying something and the officers were oblidged to check. Just refusing to let them search made him look more suspicious.

BUT, those officers used excessive violence. They may have had to taiser him to get him out of the car but not to that extent, and the violence afterwords was not necessary.

Roggen · 7 months ago

This pastor was just being stupid. He was informed and then he was just making trouble. If the dog alerted just step out of the car and proof them wrong. You can't just ignore the law and the officers whose job it is to serve and protect, no one is above the law! These men had a canine alert to a bomb and then the man driving the car refuses to get out. Wouldn't you think that was slightly suspicious? THe pastor is filming the thing for gods sake! He just wanted attention. YOU CANNOT IGNORE POLICE OFFICERS OR THEY WILL TASER YOUR DUMBASS

Why has this country gone to HELL? The cops were being assholes. If the dog really barked, then they should have brought the dog out! But they didn't. They denied a man the right to prove himself innocent, even though, in our law system, we are SUPPOSED to be innocent until proven guilty.
Not only was he denied his rights, he was beaten unnecessarily. The man CRIED! There were enough cops there to force him out of the car and the others to search! WTF is WRONG with these sadistic bastards?!

he does have rights, and maybe perhaps he should have just cooperated initially, but seriously?

the cops 1) jammed his head into shards of glass after tazing him from 2 sides, 2) stepped on his face while on the ground in the dirt and glass, 3) tazed him while he was on the ground writhing in pain....the list goes on

The guys kinda made his own bed in this one. Yes excessive force was probably used. Yes, in reality they have no right to search his car without a warrant. However, I agree that we need to be careful. Clearly they didn't pull him over just to mess with him. It sounds to me like if he would have just let go of his pride and gotten off of his high horse, he would have been fine. It's really just like at the airport. No moron in their right mind would refuse a secondary search at the airport checkpoint, why is this any different. My feeling is, if you want this country to protect you, you have to let it. Sorry pastor but pride comes before a fall.

The cops were right in this video. They told him why he was going to be detained/arrested (the K-9 alerted to something in his car). He should have gotten out of the car then, but since he failed to do so, he is now resisting arrest. It seems bad, but he should have followed the law and would have been able to go on his way without a broken window and his girlish screams on the internet.

Ok, yes, the pastor was being a bit of a douche, and yes, he goes around looking for confrontations with officers. However, regardless of how much of an ass he may be, he made no threatening gestures, his car wasn't running, so he wasn't about to drive off. Frankly, the police had NO JUST CAUSE to tazer him. Tazers were designed, not to deal with somebody being loud and annoying, but as an alternative to using lethal force in the even of a threat being posed by a suspect. Breaking his window=fine, pulling him out of the car and handcuffing him on the ground would've=fine. Tazering him and beating the crap out of him=lawsuit time.

DUH of course he didn't want to get out of the car! look what happened to him once he was removed from the safety of his car?!

Taylor · 7 months ago

I think the guy was probably a bit more rude than he had to be, but he'd been driving for hours, was held without cause, so it's understandale. And no matter how rude someone may be, unless they're physically violent, a danger to the police officers, then police officers shouldn't use tasers or physical violence towards the person.

Dogs alert in ways that are clearly seen or heard, such as sitting, barking, etc. so I think I would've been asking for the dog to be brought back out if I hadn't seen/heard it alert, too. I mean, one this guy knew there was nothing in his car to alert to, and seeing as he didn't catch the dogs alert, I'd probably have done the same thing, though it's much easier to just let them search if you have nothing for them to find, but it's the principle of the thing. This guy may have been stubborn, but I wouldn't been to, if I was being held up by someone wanting to search my car with no reason. If the dog had made a mistake (which dogs don't do often) and alerted, I'd be more likely to say, okay, well they have a reason, so let 'em look. But if they brought out a dog who i didn't see alert to anything, and they STILL wanted to search my car with no reason, they don't have the right, and I wouldn't waste my time letting them.

While this guy may have been a bit rude, it was perfectly within his right to not let them search without them having probable cause or a warrant. And I think what they did to him, was absolutely HORRIBLE. It's an abuse of power, and it happens far too often in this country. Some police officers these days seem to think they're so high and mighty that the laws don't apply to them and they can do whatever they want with no reason. And when someone questions there authority, implies that just maybe they DON'T have a probably cause or warrant and just wanna search for the heck of it, they get offended and mad. But they should know the law, and they should obey it, they should keep there cool, and try and give the person as much information as they can. They usually even tell criminals who are pretty much clearly guilty, caught in the act, what they're being arrested for, so they should definitely try to make it clear to someone who may be more confused about what they've done wrong.

While overall, a bit of blame can probably be placed on both parties, though I'm not shocked, I feel that it's horrible for law enforcement officers to be that violent with no real reason, and to try and dance around questions that they should have a definite answer for before they want to search or arrest someone. I mean, the pastor is only human, and some humans are stubborn and hate people implying they did something wrong, and feel the need to challenge them. While the officers are only human too, they go through training to know how to d their job right, and should be able to handle situations such as this better. And beating the shit out of someone isn't just a "human" mistake, not like being a bit irritable, having an off day, no one can beat the shit out of someone, and say "oops, I'm only human".

Sadie · 7 months ago

The police is retarded but the Pastor is retarded as well.

1. The police did tell him BUT you also have to understand that Pastor wanted to make sure that the dog really had a response to the "drugs/body" and the cops weren't just making some excuse to pull him over.

2. They only kept bitching at the Pastor cause he refused to roll over like a bitch and do what they said. I'm pretty sure it had nothing to do with "resisting." Personally, I think it just had to do with "respect/fear" the fact that the pastor had this "i'm not gonna take shit from you attitude" and they didn't like that. They can say that was "resisting" when really the pastor just wanted to make sure these guys weren't going to screw him over.

3. Why the fuck did they tase him? Don't they atleast use "human" force first? (Pull him out by force?? I mean there were 5 guys there it's not like they couldn't do it)

4. He should've just walked out and let them search it, because honestly he had nothing to hide. I think the point the Pastor is trying to make is that "I shouldn't do whatever you say just because you're cop. You've got to have a justifiable reason"

But that argument can be destroyed with our little "legal" lesson from Darcy.
He should've just walked out and let them check it cause he had nothing to hide. But he demostrates a point that cops put us in a vulnerable position where a cop CAN infringe our rights if he choses to do so.

Which means we have to make sure there aren't any crooked cops. ANd we can't just let "anybody" sign up when there's a cop shortage.

And legalizing drugs would've solved this problem because cops would go out looking for real criminals instead of wasting their fucking time with non-violent criminals (drug users)

And then we wouldn't have fat cops cause they'd all REALLY be doing their job. I hate fat cops. If these guys really do 'protect and serve' they'd be in good shape like army men.

"fat" or "out of shape" cops proves that some cops don't risk their lives like others and are pretty much useless. They might as well be secretaries or something. Anybody can give out a ticket. But not anybody can arrest a killer and save lives.

And cops aren't so greatly paid for what they do (not the fat ones, the life risking ones) just like teachers. I think EFFICIENT cops and teachers should be better paid. but they're not cause it's a gov. job.

or we should get rid of money so that people would do it from the heart.

GOD I hate a lot of the retarded things in society.

tazors are considered humain force because they are no long term effects. It is also safer for the cops because if he has a weapon he wound be able to hurt/kill one before they got a hold of him. with a tazor there is no risk to the cop of him pulling a weapon.

After the cops held his head against the window and against the glass on the ground the cops should have threw his head through the all the windows to try to get the stupid out of him. Any retard that will not get out of the car for police and records it on video should get the retard beat out of him.

Taylor · 7 months ago

Um, I'm pretty sure it's within his rights to refuse, if they have neither a warrant nor probable cause. IF the dog did alert, and the man didn't catch it, they should have just brought the dog back out, because IF the dog did not alert, they have no right to search his car. He may have been stupid by not letting them do it, sure, because he didn't have anything to hide, but it was a waste of his time, and more importantly it violated his rights as a U.S. citizen. He's not a retard. In all honest, if you continue to let officers of the law abuse their power, they will continue to do so, so while it would've been easier for him to just let them search, if he had, they would've continued to abuse their power and search whoever they wanted whenever they wanted. They can't just stop someone and search their car because their bored, U.S. law states they HAVE TO have a warrant or probable cause in order to do so, and assuming the dog didn't alert (which since the guy didn't have anything illegal in his car, is HIGHLY improbable), he doesn't have to let them search. He's not retarded because he aspects officers of the law to respect his rights as a citizen. Sure he was rude, but he'd been driving for a while, was probably tired, and wanted to get home, but he was not by any means breaking the law, while the officers WERE breaking the law...

Everybody bitches about rights until a group of people get on a plane, hijack it, then fly it into a building. Then they bitch about the police not doing there job. Take your pick! We have rights but we also have rules! They were trying to do their job! If they say we would like to search your car more thoroughly then guess what....you let them! It's what they do! They will make mistakes by searching many people who are completely legit but that will also help them catch the people who are not!

Taylor · 7 months ago

Yes, we have rights and rules. Which none of them really contradict. It's a LAW (rule) that cops cannot search a car or a home, etc. without a warrant or probable cause, so if the pastor didn't see the dog alert (and since he didn't have anything illegal, it's highly unlikely that it did), the pastor was aware of no probable cause, and the police hadn't presented a warrant, it's his RIGHT.

He had a right to stay in his car and refuse to let them search, and he was not breaking any law or "rules" by doing so. I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about when you imply when have to have our rights violated in order to remain safe. Because one, that man wasn't breaking the law, I doubt he's much of a threat to ANYONE. There are rules for a reason, yes, sure we want to stay safe, but that's no excuse for officers of the law abusing their power and violating a person's rights. It's illegal. The officers were breaking the "rules", not the pastor.

IF THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE (the dog) THEN YOU HAVE TO OBEY THE ORDERS! Stupid fucking idiots, does this mean if you don't think you were speeding then you don't have to stop when a cop tries to pull you over?

Taylor · 7 months ago

But there's the issue of whether there was truly probable cause or not. If the dog was brought out, and the man didn't see him alert(assuming he's telling the truth), and the car was clean, chances are the dog DIDN'T alert, and then they DON'T have probable cause. If the pastor didn't see the dog alert, they should've had absolutely no trouble bringing the dog back around to prove to him, but the fact they didn't is yet another reason why I don't think the dog DID alert to anything. And without that, no probablee cause. It's pretty iffy, I suppose, seeing as far as the dog goes, all we're given to go on is the man's word and the police officers word, but seeing as using such excessive physical violence is an abuse of power anyway, it's really easy for me to believe they abused their power before, and lied about the dog.

Jon · 7 months ago

In this situation it seems that there is not enough tape in the page above to get a complete idea of what happened. That is not to say that a decent idea of the situation cannot be concluded but without video of the prior events that we are told of in the pastors interview i.e. the dog sniffing the car. It is hard to say definitively if the dog did or did not alert the officers to the presence of contraband human, drugs, or whatever it may have been. Dogs can be trained to alert their handlers in passive way, organizations such as the USDA often use this method. “USDA beagles have been trained to simply sit down when they smell fruits or vegetables.” (http://people.howstuffworks.com/police-dog4.htm)
This is not to say in any way that the officers involved were justified in their actions. The use of force was excessive for the situation. For entering the vehicle a set of slim jims (the tools not the food) could have been used. Even if the window had to be broken he could have been removed in a much more civil manner. The use of the taser seems to me to be unjustified for the situation. Although I think that if the officer had clearly stated what the charge was. He could have said something like “resisting arrest” rather than “disobeying me”. Just as easily the dog could have taken another pass at the car.
The 4th amendment reads “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” (http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution...) Now I don’t know what other loop hole and such that may be in place in that state or laws written on the subject other so I can’t definitively say. The 4th amendment says they do need a warrant and that in order to get that warrant they need probable cause. The dog would give them probable cause but I do not know if they had a warrant. However “The United States Supreme Court held that brief, suspicion-less seizures at highway checkpoints for the purposes of combating drunk driving and intercepting illegal immigrants were constitutional.” (http://www.srislawyer.com/CM/custom/TOCE-Newsle...)
Regardless of how this plays out in the inevitable legal proceedings both sides could have handled the situation better. The use of excessive force is hard to ignore in this case. Weather or not the search was warranted I doubt that the pastor will suffer any legal consequences from the event, I can’t say the same for the officers.

if you have nothing to hide then why bother refuse to let them search your vehical ?

when you refuse to let the cops search your vehical they know from experince that your hideing something

the police in this situation did go overboard but bottom line is he WAS resisting arrest and he refused to let the poice in his vehical so they let themselves in

Sean · 7 months ago

That dude had that coming. Here's a list of reasons why.

1. "I asked them to tell me what the dog had done..." They're not required to tell you what the dog's alerts are.
2. "I asked them to bring the dog back because I say it didn't happen..." That doesn't matter, and they aren't required to do so. If you get pulled over for speeding, you can't say "let me drive by you again because I don't think I was speeding." Well, you can, but it won't do any good.
3. He was told that he was being placed under arrest. He asked why. They told him. He still wouldn't get out of the car. At that point, he was resisting arrest, which is a crime. If they had simply said, "we're detaining you for an investigation of a possible crime" and he refused he would be arrested for obstruction of justice.
4. "Oh, so I have to obey you?" Yes, you moron, you do. That's the way it works in these United States. As a society we require you to comply with police officers, that's how we keep social order.
5. Excessive force? Not at all. This man had already shown he was going to be defiant, and tazing him the officers insured that he wouldn't physically resist and possibly hurt one of them.

This dude should listen to The Clash... I fought the law and the law won.

Josh · 7 months ago

#1. Actually, I don't know where you're from, but he has every right in the world to have them come back if the dog didn't suspect anything and they still accuse him.

#2. Look above.

#3. No, actually they didn't tell him. All they told him was that he was under arrest for a "suspected human/cocaine" in his trunk. Which was already stated that he didn't hear the dog even make a sound when they sniffed the trunk.

#4. Actually, no he doesn't if they don't have a valid reason to arrest him.

#5. You're completely wrong, if I'd judge by what you just said right now, I'd say YOU'RE ONE OF THE COPS THAT DID THIS TO HIM!

All the guy did was stand up for himself and state his rights. Didn't have a gun, or a bomb so there was NO need for all the beating up on him that they did.

The Dude · 7 months ago

The cops will likely win, based on his own video. Check out the ACLU's website. When an officer gives you an instruction, you must follow it or potentially be arrested. They did NOT have to show him the dog alerting to his vehicle. He could have fought the search in court with a judge, but not the cop on the street. According to the ACLU, you can refuse to allow the search, but that doesn't mean they can't search, just that the burden in on them to prove probable cause in front of the judge (not to you on the street).
Wishing for something different doesn't make it so.

And out come the brass knuckles. Didn't they tell you it was a gunfight?

Josh:
1. Learn to read. I said they are not required to tell you what the dog's "alerts" are. The pastor says that the dog didn't make a noise, and it probably didn't. Police dogs are specially trained. The dog's alert to contraband may not be, and probably isn't, an audible response. The dog could be trained to simply sit down and stare at the suspect area, or roll over and play dead, or sniff its ass, or lick its balls. The fact of the matter is that the police aren't required to explain to you exactly how the dog was trained to alert to any specific type of contraband. My first point, which you so widely missed, was not a matter of rights. I simply stated that they aren't required to disclose how the dog is trained to react to something.

2. You're right, he can request that they bring the dog by the car again. They aren't required to. One "alert" from the animal is probable cause for an investigation. If "I think the cop is lying" was an effective way to get out of being investigated or arrested the entire criminal justice system would crumble. Imagine how great it would be:
Cop: Sir, we're placing you under arrest for murder.
Suspect: But I didn't do it.
Cop: We have evidence that implies you are guilty.
Suspect: The evidence is wrong.
Cop: Okay, sorry about the inconvenience. Have a nice day!

3. You said, and I quote, "No, actually they didn’t tell him. All they told him was that he was under arrest for a 'suspected human/cocaine' in his trunk" Read that four times. By "they didn't tell him" were you referring to the part where they told him he "was under arrest for a 'suspected human/cocaine' in his trunk?" You might want to read over that a couple more times just to make sure you know what the fuck you're talking about. Oh, and don't forget the part where the officer told him he was being placed under arrest for failure to comply, which we'll get to next.

4. You can contest this all you want, but you can also contest the law of gravity by jumping off the Empire State Building. The results will be similar. It's important to keep in mind that an arrest does not mean guilt, we have due process to determine that. Given that concept, a canine alert and obstructing an investigation add up to more than a "valid" reason for an arrest. Once you've been placed under arrest you are, get this, required by law to comply with police officers.

5. "You're completely wrong" isn't much an argument, buddy. I'm going to need something a little more substantiated to shove back down your throat. So far all you've done is dry heaved.

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. Make sure to tip your waitress.

Paul · 7 months ago

This guy is a real US hero. He may be a little over the top in his confrontational style, but he spoke the truth to the officers. They just didn't know what to do with a real American who knows his rights. If it seemed a little much, it is because the rest of us being ignorant of our rights and too cowardly to stand up to them create a climate in which just affirming what should be universally understood and respected rights, seems exagerated. What would have happened if someone did that in Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia? Those who would say you have to roll over to authority because it is authority need to study some history at least. Thank you, Pastor. You may be to me and others disagreeable, etc., but in the USA, you have a right to be a nutcase because we have one unifying social pact in the CONSTITUTION with the Bill of RIGHTS. When the "law" gets to the point where uniformed gun-bearing agents of the state think they can justify arbitrary search and siezure with lesser laws than a clear reading of the B of R, then the system needs to be renewed. And remember violence is not force, it is force in v.i.o.lation of human rights; force that violates human dignity. I think this guy is a nutcase, and I want to send him a donation to keep up the good work!

DuckyPorkchop · 7 months ago

They aren't required to answer his questions about the dog but when the police officer himself asked the border patrol to bring the dog back out that shows doubt. And yes he resisted but that still doesn't change the fact that it could have been handled much easier without so much force. The guy covered his eyes but they still used two tasers?!? and shoved his head into the glass while he was being tased...c'mon. Both sides were on a power trip but the police and border patrol are going to be hurting once this goes to court. They changed their story, used more that excesive force, and the police even doubted the border patrol.

Hoover · 7 months ago

Yo De Franco!

It is obvious that this man is sincere in his accusations against the border patrol agents. Our American culture is on the brink of failure as our liberties and freedoms are slowly eroding away. I would fully expect these things to gradually get worse as we progressively and willingly forgoe these freedoms in the name of safety and security. WTF? What are we gonna do? Those officers fully deserve breaking and entering charges, unreasonable search and seisure, assault and battery, loss of there jobs and at least 10 years in prison for the atrocity they have committed. We are all human beings dammit.

Josh · 7 months ago

100% agree with almost every comment on here. It is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that he got so much pain & suffering just for standing up for himself and stating his rights.

Why would they search the car w/ a k9, say he has cocaine/human in the trunk of his car, and not bring the k9 back out to see the dog again if he didn't hear anything?

That's a fucking joke.

"Cover your eyes." Why...just tell me why would you just cover your eyes. Why do they have the right to just smash both the passenger and the driver side windows and tazer him and hold him down against GLASS.

And ontop of all that, what is the need to pull him out of the car, stomp on him a few times, and then tazer him some more...FOR STANDING UP FOR HIS FREEDOM/RIGHTS.

It's not like he had a fucking gun, or a bomb...obviously. If the dog smelt nothing, why didn't they just let him go...

I will never understand what goes though some people's heads in this world.

My suggestion: Sue the living fuck out of them. They really should get a death penalty, or something similar that happened to him happen to them.

I feel terribly sorry for this man, listening to that screaming when he gets tazed really scares me.

WHY WAS IT SUCH A BIG DEAL IF YOU DIDN"T HAVE ANYTHING IN YOUR CAR. THEY CAN SEARCH YOU IF THEY WANT. THEIR JOB IS TO ENSURE SECURITY. YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN OUT OF THERE QUICKLY IF YOU WOULD JUST HAVE LET THEM FIND NOTHING IN YOUR CAR. CONGRATS, YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELF

DuckyPorkchop · 7 months ago

The man had every right to refuse having his car searched. Unfortunatly denying the search gave police a probable cause which to me doesn't make sense. Why do we have the right to refuse if that then gives them reason to search especially when he asked to have the dog brought back out because it did not alert the border patrol as they had stated? He had every right to make that request. The biggest thing this guy has going for him is that police/border patrol changed their story from the dog to him not answering their questions. Secondly it is 100% excesive force. He has not shown any agression so using two possibly three tasers when one will easily take down a grown man is crazy. They could have killed him. Also breaking both windows; police are trained to proceed in a way to protect themselves but also the least agressive. They could have broke the side window and unlocked the other doors that way while he was tased; or even better just unlocked and pulled him out without tasing him. He did after all close his eyes. Very sad how police are abusing their power.

Tone · 7 months ago

After watching both videos i feel as if all this would have been avoided if he had just let them search his car. It would have taken 5/10 minutes to prove that he didn't have anything with him and it would have been over. But he refused (because it is his right) and that made it seem suspicious to the officers so they acted upon that. And the camera and hostile tone he has in his voice did not help. I know he has a right to refuse to let them search his car but if he didn't have anything illegal why not just let the officers do their job? Let them waste their time searching a car that doesn't have anything illegal in it. But like i said, all could have been avoided. Good luck to him and whatever claims he has against the officers.

Taylor · 7 months ago

Sure, it could've been avoided, but at this point, you've gotta put yourself in that situation and realize how pissed you'd be after them lying to you, violating your rights, and you're not breaking the law, you're just trying to get home. So he probably was a bit more hostile than he need be, and perhaps he should've just let them, and that'd be the easier thing, but I think I would've done something similar, because I'm sutbborn and hardheaded too...

Niqla · 7 months ago

Seeing things on a long term basis, you should not restrain yourself from arguing with the police. Stick to your rights like this man did. He obviously faced excessive consequences to resisting authority. This video will most probably influence choices made by other police men when facing a free individual refusing to waste his time with their random inspections. They will think twice before taking out their Tazers. The lawsuit that will be filed against them will make these pigs regret this abuse of force. Hail to this man.

But i'm wondering about one thing... How come the police did not erase the Video? They are definite dumbasses. First thing after a criminal offense (this was a criminal offense against a passive american. Not because your dressed up in a silly uniform with a badge stuck on it that your allowed to beat up people.) destroy the evidence! The guy filmed the whole thing. They didn't even erase the video. Then the question appears: Did they really search the car afterwards or did they get their fix of power after beating him up?

Rio · 7 months ago

the more he refused the more the police suspects that something is wrong

i think the pastor just wants to see his face in youtube

Taylor · 7 months ago

It's not really resisting when they have no proof of probable cause nor a warrant, it's just enforcing your rights...

And it's stupid to think that, ANYONE can be on youtube. He'd risk his life, have the hell beat out of him, have to get stitches to do something anyone can do? Seriously? If he's at fault, it's most definitely not because he wanted to be on youtube, thinking that is just retarded. If he wanted to be on youtube, he could've made a video about anything, at any point in time...

Joseph · 7 months ago

Just because he is a minister, he thinks he doesn't answer to the law enforcement. If he would have just gotten out of the car which you are required to do when an officer asks you, this most likely wouldn't have happened. Ministers are some of the worst terrorists in the world. If he had nothing to hide, why didn't he just get out of the car.

Jaron · 7 months ago

Have you ever considered thinking about what you say before you say it? You are a complete moronic idiot.

Taylor · 7 months ago

What does it have to do with him being a minister? Terrorists? Are you kidding me, ministers are TERRORISTS? Maybe some aren't the best people in the world, but grouping all ministers together like that is plain ignorance. Like saying all Muslims are terrorists... it's just not true and the stereotype (though I've never heard ANYONE say anything close to "ministers are terrorists) has little basis in fact.

And just because he's a minister doesn't mean he doesn't have rights. He had the right to refuse to let them search his car. He should've gotten out perhaps, but what keeps them from throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, and breaking the law by violating his rights if he does get out of the car. He's just trying to protect his rights, which, while he definitely isn't the most pleasant person in the world towards the police officers, he still has. He didn't do everything right, sure, but the officers were violating his rights. They were taking something away from him, and to lots of people who are aware of the law and their rights, and who are law abiding citizens, and not cowards who would let anyone break the law and run over them for no reason, their rights are extremely important, and when someone tries to violate their rights, it's a boundary crossed.

While I respect the people's opinions who disagree with mine, I'm not so sure I repsect yours. Ministers are terrorists. God, I can't stop laughing. Most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. You seem like a pretty ignorant person, to be honest. Maybe trying being a bit more open minded, and not assuming everyone whose views don't match yours is a "terrorist".

Firstly the definition of terrorist is: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion.

This man used no form of anything that could be mistaked as terrorism in these videos, so maybe your opinion is based on outside experiences. Maybe you know one minister who could be considered a "terrorist: to some extent. That doesn't make them ALL terrorists. Assuming such is just idiotic.

Squeak238 · 7 months ago

Look, this shit is not uncommon. Just because the cops said the dog alerted them doesn't mean it happened. Something to a lesser degree happened to me where I was held in custody while two cops spent an hour searching my car and when I asked why I was pulled over they told me I didn't turn on my blinker when I turned. Great, that's fine, only thing is the only time I turned while the cop was behind me is when he pulled me over and I had been driving a straight shot for ten minutes or so. What a load of horse shit, arrested maybe, but beaten into the ground? THAT is excessive force. The guy didn't show signs of violence and he threatened no one. Bottom line this was an abuse of power.

dannnny4 · 7 months ago

wow some of you guys are retarded go back and learn your rights, 1st of all HE DOES have the right to refuse them to search his car and that probably is why they got so mad, 2nd obviously he caught the cop in a lie in the video and 3rd a dog is trained to think that there is a toy (if he sniffs drugs or a dead person) the dog doesnt just sit there like a retard and cops all of a sudden know theres something in the car, so there again the pastor has the right to ask the cops for the dog to come back and sniff cuz obviously he wasnt hiding anything!!!

BUT im not saying it woulda just been easier to let them search but thats why we have ppl that know their rights so that america can wake THE FUCK UP

The world's problems will inevitably get worse. So lets put faith in Obama. Who else can we trust to make things right in these times?

Taylor · 7 months ago

Sure, we should trust Obama, but we still need to do what we can. The people of America need to do what they can to protect their own rights as well. Obama is one person. He may be the president, but he's not all-powerful, he can't do it all, he's only human. So while we should trust him, would should BLINDLY trust in him, and we should take it upon ourselves to what we know is right to help correct these kinds of issues in our country.

Andrew · 7 months ago

My mom knows a guy that is in the police academy, and he had to get tasered, when he did, he didn't even flench, they thought the taser was broken, so they tased him again, still he did nothing, finally they knew that the taser WAS not broken. lolll thats just funny :P dudes tough as hell i guess. i still hate him.

Taylor · 7 months ago

Um, I think I'm calling BS on that one, if you didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it. Unless that guy has some kind of neurological issue, when you're shocked like that you CAN'T not move. Not only is it the body's natural reaction to pain to flinch away from it (and with that amount of pain there is literally something medically wrong with you if you don't), but it's electricity, you lose control of your ability to move , or in this case not to. People don't just flail when they're tasered because it hurts, but because they literally no longer have control. If this story is true, I think you should suggest to this dude to get a full neurological work up, because something isn't right.

Mike · 7 months ago

To put this in the worst possible way; to all the idiots.

Yes, he was resisting the police. That doesn't mean the inhumanity of prick cops should rule. They should lose there jobs and be thrown in jail.

Andrew · 7 months ago

Just makes me thankful to not live in the states, if the cops can get away with that...

Taylor · 7 months ago

Well, technically, the SHOULDN'T be allowed to get away with it, since it is illegal, but with so many people in the States and so many laws being broken, it's hard to enforce justice on everyone, though it shouldn't be like that. But people break rules/laws all over the world, so it's not just the U.S. People all over the world do horrible things and get away with it. It's not right, but you can't escape it unless you completely lock yourself away from everyone.

JPreston · 7 months ago

I dont get how he fillmed it when he was in his car. HE said he had his hands infront of his face yet somehow the camera was being held out towards the passanger side?

I suppose there are ways to hold it with your arm maybe but I dont know. There seemed to be lies on both sides.

Taylor · 7 months ago

Idk... that is a good question, which we can't know for sure, but I imgained it was one like with a hand strap and he turned the strap to the opposite side of his hand, so the palm of his hand was free, and that's why the camera was facing the opposite way after he covered his eyes. It makes enough sense, I guess, but there are a bunch of different ways depending on the camera type and whatever. Honestly, thinking of a way that makes pretty reasonable sense, kind of makes me feel like Sherlock Holmes. XD jk... but even though it makes sense to me (though with my horrible explanation, might not make much sense to you, so sorry for that), my chances of being right aren't very high. But still, just an example of one way he could've done it...

David · 7 months ago

wow that officer should have at least told him what was going on. That is pretty gay that they tazered him.

Ron · 7 months ago

well, i'd just like to say, i'm glad there are people who are willing to stand up for their rights in the face of completely fair circumstances, it just makes sure that our government won't become fascist. (and trust me, our government isn't fascist, look up the word before you use it)
and really, i'm just gonna put it out there the pastor knew what was going to happen and could easily have avoided it.
"if your dumb you gotta be tough"

Taylor · 7 months ago

Yeah, our government is pretty fair compared to some, but a a lot of authority figures, such as officers of the law, do abuse their power, and if no one stands up for their rights, it will continue to be done, so I'm glad to see that there are some people willing to question officers about things, and do their best to stand up for themselves when someone tries to violate them. I'm pretty sure a good number of American citizens would stand up for their rights if the opportunity arose, and I don't think we have to worry too much about the government stepping too far out of line, because someone is always there too question whether what they're doing is right, and though sometimes it may not seem like it, the people do have a fair bit of power, and we can't expect anyone else to stand up for our rights when we're not willing to do it ourselves.

It's a pity to see law enforcement officers act in such a manner, though. Police officers should be understanding, but firm, they should remain calm, and only use as much force as necessary, and they shouldn't abuse their power. A lot of people say, if you're not a criminal, you shouldn't be afraid of the police, but when some of them act like these men did, it's reasonable to be afraid, and it's hard to trust them to keep us safe from REAL threats when they're wasting time punishing some innocent citizen because he pissed them off.

While, I will admit, I'm not a huge fan of this pastor, as I've watched his other videos and he's not exactly a ray of sunshine, in none of his videos is he breaking the law. On his account there is another video (at least one other than this one) in which he seems to be antagonizing officers, such as others on here has mentioned. And he probably knew something like this would happen eventually when he goes around looking to fight with an officer, but bottom-line is, while he is rude and obnoxious towards officers of the law, in neither video is he breaking the law, and the police officers have no right to be unprofessional about it. (In the other video an officer went so far as to say "i'm pretty sure your a terrorist", and while no where near as awful as what the officers in this video did to him, I find it rather unprofessional of an officer to lose his cool while on the clock and acuse someone of being a terrorist, no matter how annoying they're being.) I think officers should be better trained to handle such situations with dignity, and to remain calm. It should be part of the training for them not to lose their cool with people, because while they may get angry with someone on the job, that anger can go too far, and someone seething with anger who has power and a weapon is DEFINITELY not a safe mixture.

Tiffy · 7 months ago

It's ironic to me that the job of protecting and serving has been twisted into this. I am ashamed that this is where my tax dollars are going. Those flipping cops caused more harm and disturbance in this situation than the civilian. And yeah, maybe the pastor guy didn’t handle it the best in the world.... be seriously? Aren’t cops supposed to be trained experts in handling situations professionally and peacefully? Very proactive cops!!!! …Taser someone who asks legit questions. If I didn’t see a dog search and react to my car I would ask for a re-examination too before getting out of my car and being arrested. Especially with maniac arresting-happy tasering cops running around! I feel safe with him carrying a gun!!! ... NOT!

Taylor · 7 months ago

And somehow I have the feeling if he still had the attitude, but had complied to get out of the car of his own will, they still would've tasered him. It's pathetic. He did not threaten them, nor show any signs he would be physically violent towards them, and so he shouldn't have been tasered, or shoved to the ground in such a violent mannner. He may have been resisting, but they failed to present him with a warrant or a probable cause, since he did not see the dog alert (chances being it didn't if his car was clean) and they refused to bring it back out, so it was within his right to refuse to let them search his car. It is sad to see officers behave in this manner, and I really think they should have better training, especially behavioral training to teach them how to handle situations like this professionally, and they should also be inform that just because they're an officer they're not above the law, and just because they don't like someone (or even if the person is a suspected criminal) the person still has rights.

Squeak238 · 7 months ago

I'm sorry? Did you hear the dog bark? Was there any evidence that the dog reacted? I don't think so, so stop being a stupid douche and quit living in La La Land. Denying a cop the ability to search your car doesn't give them probable cause.
What so the cop can just go 'uh well the dog uh, smelled something lemme search your car'
Where's the proof? As an American citizen that pastor had the right to have it proven to him. The cops didn't grant him his rights and used authority and numbers to force him to submit. That is called abuse of power.

Taylor · 7 months ago

Dogs CAN be trained to bark as an alert, but they usually are trained to sit. Regardless, the man claimed the dog did nothing and alerts are pretty easy to identifiy usually. He said the dog walked up, walked away, no sitting. And unless their training dogs to alert by telepathy these days, from what we know, the dog DIDN'T alert, and if the dog did alert, and the man didn't see him alert, he wasn't presented with any warning or probable cause, so they should've just brought the dog back out to prove it, or let him go, because it's highly unlikely a well trained dog alerted to a clean car.

Spazzzzzz · 7 months ago

Personally, I think both of them are idiots. The man should just have gotten out of the car and let them search his car. The police were just doing their job, and wouldn't it be terrible if he DID have a body? I mean, they are just trying to keep america safe. But then again, the police went to extremities when they tasered him numerous times, then mocked him. And I think they should have brought out the dog again.


AND, because they found nothing in his car, he should plead not guilty

I think the tazing is a bit much, but they were probably asking routine questions and the pastor like all these assholes do, was probably like "I'm not going to answer that, it's none of your buisness". It's his job, when you refuse, it looks suspecious.

If you have nothing to hide just comply. As an American your rights are revoked if you become a suspect. Check out the Patriots Act!

Pupils are pretty dilated and he's pretty energized for just getting the sh*t beat out of him. He got what he deserved. The authorities did nothing wrong, he's still alive!

whenever i'm home from tour of duty if there is a situation where i get pulled over i abide by the officers' requests to an acceptable extent. although i do practice my full rights while doing so. as far as i am aware there are only a set of questions that you are legally obligated to answer at routine checkpoints and after being pulled over, in my state we have no law stating that we are obligated to answer any other answers than the norm at state borders. as far as i'm aware the pastor was abiding by the law, and even requested requisit proof of the officers claims when another branch of law enforcement arrived ( which is another inalienable right.) unless something else occured in that situation that i'm not aware of the pastor was within his full rights. i didn't enlist in the usmc to watch our freedoms to be trampled upon or bastardized. unless law enforcement officers can prove otherwise they should all receive reprimands for use of excessive force and gross dereliction of duty.

This is not POLICE.
They are BORDER PATROL. They are not held to the same standards that police are. They have full rights to ask ANYONE to step out of the vehicle and search person and car for ANY reason. They have the right to take your car apart piece by piece and if they find nothing, simple say "have a nice day." and are not required to put anything back together. Border Patrol is on a federal level and this guy will lose. If you think you are being wronged, you comply now, video tape it, then present your argument to proper authorities. This guy was asking / begging to have this done. I live near Detroit and have crossed over into Canada many times.. Border Patrol is not people you screw with. Hell, they should have simply denied him access into the country. You don't like what they were asking, go back to Mexico.

Lumis · 7 months ago

Regardless of what everyone believes, stupidity doesn't void rights granted to you by the Constitution. These officers CLEARLY (if I could emphasize the word CLEARLY any more, I would) used excessive force. There is simply no excuse for it, and anyone who tries to fault the Pastor for attempting to exercise his rights is a fool and I hope that you're never in a position of power.

Think about it like this; they had the Pastor in holding. Why couldn't they have called in a warrant to search the car, had a judge sign it, and then FAX IT to the checkpoint? Seriously. Why didn't this occur?

manstick1986 · 7 months ago

WTF...i mean if i got pulled over and had nothing to hide i would let them check my car, but we do have rights. Tho law enforcement have to do there job which he was stopping them from doing I feel excessive force is an understatement. He got both windows broken and tased from both sides, one those things can put a guy on hard drugs down and he looks like he weighs 160 pounds wet. That is some fucked up shit.

AJ · 7 months ago

Yeah I think both of them where stupid, HOWEVER the paster was only doing what he believed in.

I mean I dont think not answering a question deserves his car to be shattered and him to be beaten to death.

Thats why I do NOT want to move or even live temporarely in the US because their cops are just plain out right stupid...

Atleast in Australia our cops are well trained, and only bring force into the eqasion if its needed, not just because someone wont answer a simple question!

kenrutl · 7 months ago

this is like a cry for attention, what kind of weird sense of self righteousness do you have to have to not answer any questions from the police- like, seriously, who gets that offended when a policeman asks questions, its his damn job. how do you assume someone being so difficult isnt trying to conceal something ? id laugh at him to if i were one of the officers and he voluntarly put himself through that.

The tazing was completely unnecessary and cops are never very smart, thats why they are police and not doctors, but it should never have gotten that far, and now this idiot is going to get paid by my tax money for being a dick.

Bryan · 7 months ago

i think it was the police mens fault they did not have a legit excuse. they also did not tell him if he did not obey they would brake his window and taser him. but also he could of stopped all of this by just letting them search the car.

Richard · 7 months ago

Carroll v. United States, 267 U.S. 132 (1925), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court, which upheld the warrantless search of a car, noting that probable cause existed and the mobility of the automobile made it impracticable to get a search warrant.

This warrantless search of an automobile is known as the automobile exception. The decision rested on the distinction between stationary structures and movable objects/vehicles. Not only is an automobile movable while stationary structures are not, there is also less of an expectation of privacy in automobiles. This case has been used to increase the scope of warrantless searches.

Due to a recent decision rendered by the US Supreme Court in Arizona v. Gant, there may be new restrictions on warrantless searches of automobiles under certain, limited circumstances. Arizona v. Gant does not automatically preclude Carroll v. US and does not repeal it.

Did most of you even watch the video? He resisted arrest and refused to get out of the car, so the cops tased him and removed him from the vehicle. They DID NOT beat him, nor did they use any unnecessary force. Tasers are made for situations where a suspect is not compliant and you need to detain them. They had just cause. (Dog alerted to something) Cops do not have to prove to you that the dog alerted on something. They have to have probable cause, which in this case, was present. Knee jerk reactions from the children and hippies out there are hilarious.

Pill · 7 months ago

Yeah,
Lets look at this. Yes, the guy should have answered the questions, which he does not have any video of, WHY???? I don't know....

DPS is the group that made the arrest. It was the DPS who made the arrest based on the info they were given from the border patrol. The border patrol told the DPS that the dog gave a sign of drugs or a body, again he has no video of the dog. WHY????I don't know. So the DPS only acted on the info they were given and they had all the right in the world to remove the guy from the car. At the end of the day the only one that is at fault is the dog for telling the border patrol that there was drugs or a human body in the car.

Tasering him was wrong. But lets be honest, listening to this guy telling his story, don't you want to taser him???? I mean fuck, next time anser the question. f

The only question I have for a man of the cloth is, were there any photos of naked boys in your car?

The USA is a police country with a militirized back bone.

Again, next time just answer the fucking questions. hell, make up a fucking lie if you have to.

Brad · 7 months ago

they guy did not ansure questions asked by the cop. Drug/Bomb sniffing dogs do not bark when they detect something they sit down and wag there tail(because there favorite toy smells like the drugs so they think there going to play feach). They do this so it dose not contamnate the area and barking generally excites both people and the dog. anyway the dog gave the cops probable cause to search his car (he got the 4th admenmit wrong its the rights agents unrepresentable search and seizures not searching without a warrant). From his own testament the cops gave him a hour to comply. i also dont think the cop pushed him into the ground with his foot. My guess was his knee on the back of his head while reaching for his hands to arest him. The cop was not caught in a lie he was mearly stating if you were not a dumbass and answered questions from the start you whoud be on your way but you made this what it is now.

odds are this will end up with him wining a brutality lawsuit despite his part in this.

Alright one think, weather there was a dog, each one is trained to react differently, some bark, some scratch, some just sit. They all react differently.

Cade · 7 months ago

After reading most of the replies to this, I must ask, what kind of a fucked up country are we living in when there are fucktards like those here who think the pastor did ANYTHING wrong. The officers were clearly in the wrong on this one. You don't have to give them any information if you don't want to, and from the video, they did NOT have a search warrant. I can only hope I end up in a situation such as this. Not only is he completely justified in a major lawsuit, he should demand the pricks lose their jobs as well. They've ruined themselves and their careers and should have to live with the shame.

shane · 7 months ago

heres a few common sense things you should know.... 1) If a cop asks u a question, dont be a d-bag and refuse to answer. 2) If they say "get out of your car" then u should get out of the damn car. 3) If a drug sniffing dog alerts at ur car become more of a d-bag, just get out and let them have a look. 4) no one ever gets tasered for following instructions. 5) If anyone (regardless if its a cop) says they will use force if u dont comply then its a good idea to do what they want u to.

Also less common sense but good stuff to know.... 6) drug sniffing dogs dont always bark to alert so as to not alert the person being searched. 7) if someone pulls out a night stick and tells you to close ur eyes, ur about to have shitty day unless u do as ur told. 8) dont make videos like this and leave out the beginning that probably showed how wrong you were

as for excessive force... im all in favor of morons like this gettin beat up cus its a lesson to just do what ur supposed to do and is a deterrent to future morons

Firefighter · 7 months ago

If you had nothing to hide, why did you refuse to let them search your car? That only gives them a reason to bring the drug dog over. As for your skepticism of the dog, some dogs are trained to alert by scratching at the vehicle or simply sitting.

They certainly used excessive force, but you could have avoided the entire situation by complying with their request for you to step out of the car. Failure to obey a lawful order is a crime, and gives the officer cause to arrest you. If you believe the officer is in the wrong, you take action later through the courts, not with the officer at the scene.

If I was him I would've just let them search my car. That seems like the sensible thing to do. He did act suspicious, that is no doubt. However getting his ass whooped that hard is out of the question. Those officers should get fired. He's lucky that he's white. If he was any other race he might've died, which is bullshit but probably a reality nonetheless. This whole story shows how our government is becoming a totalitarian regime even under the auspices of Obama. Some change really needs to come.

mark · 7 months ago

I think the most important thing we're forgetting here is that he's a leagal white male...so he's pretty much screwed by his own system. I think the cops will get a slap on the wrist for this. he was resisting the arrest by not getting out of his car, whether the arrest was valid or not is a different subject.

Elementalist · 7 months ago

He may be charged with resisting arrest, but that doesn't change the fact that the police were (seemlingly) lying about the whole thing AND they used excessive force. So it doesn't matter if he was charged with resisting arrest. What matters is that the cops need to be charged with their crimes.

mark · 7 months ago

At 1:19 you can see the cop/border guy smiling as he tazers the person in the car.

chris · 7 months ago

You are wrong. I study criminal justice and there was not one time he resisted arrest by law. As he said he had every right as of the fourth amendment to refuse a search with no probable cause at point. The police officer admitted not willing to bring the dog back down and if the dumb ass cop knew he job and the right of civilians, he should of let him pass. Yes, he could of gotten out of the car and made it much more easier, but its the fact that he as that right to refuse since its his right to do so. Those cops should not get a slap on the wrist but be fired from the job they could not upheld. If the man is smart, he will get all video records from the entire scene, turn around and draw a civil suit and sue the shit out of them and will win with no questioning. And if you do not understand or believe what i have said, pick up a criminal procedure book and read it and understand your rights. This man is not at fault by no means.

Wren · 7 months ago

This is what I can't understand...He feels like they were wrong stopping him, great step out of the car and let them do whatever they need to do and when there done complain. Why waste an hour fighting something that was going to happen from the onset of the stop. More importantly, fuel their suspicion by acting like a complete jerk.
Do I think he has the right to refuse answering question and having his car searched? Absolutely, but when a routine stop has escalated to threatening arrest you are just making this into a fight (hence the camera). I don't know about you but I don't just keep a camera with me at all times and when a cop comes to my window think "hey this is going to be great video footage"(totally excluding Phil from that statement).
Just a note on the officers, come on people… Nobody likes cops but I do not see you stepping up to protect the rest of us and at the end of the day, you just can’t be overly nice in a job like that. They did let him sit in his car for an hour before removing him…don’t you think that counts for something.

Almost every single one of your bloody cops use UNECESSARY MUCH VIOLENCE! And why in hell were they MOCKING him afterwards!? I might not belive in god or any of that stuff but this is a VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS and more PROOF THAT AMERICAN COPS USE THEIR POWER IN THE WRONG WAY! And they did not even have a proper reason to arrest him or search his car! Now to THE BIG QUESTION, why do the government of the United States hire theese SICK PEOPLE to be men of law? And if you still think i'm wrong just check some episodes of cops or something. That's all for now.

Since when did it matter if cops were in the wrong..? He wasn't going to change the guys mind the cops were obviously board assholes wanting a bit of drama. If the guy wasn't doing anything illegal he should have just got out the car, made sure he made it known he objected to the search without a warrant when they arrested him. If they continued, he just takes them to court on the violations to his civil rights. Which is what he did now minus pain and bleeding.

Thetter · 7 months ago

Exactly - the insecure morons otherwise known as the cops/DPS in this situation need to see the other side of what they are doing to innocent people - the "wrong side of the law", in other words. What they are doing to people here, and everywhere, everyday is completely outrageous. And they almost always get away with it - they think it's their god given right as cops to treat people like this - and we better just bow down to them because they are the almighty authority over us.

It's like every insecure idiot that gets fired from normal jobs or kicked out of the military becomes a cop. Not to say that all cops are bad or evil, because I know plenty who are not. There are lots of great cops - and I have nothing but the utmost respect for them. I'm talking about the others here. Way too many power tripping or insecure pricks with a chip on their shoulder become cops and are looking to take their problems out on innocent citizens. Many seem to do it for nothing but the power. There should be some filtering mechanism in place to keep these degenerate scumbags from ever getting hired into a position of such great "authority" and power - or at least to get rid of them quickly and permanently. In my experience, it seems that a huge percentage of all officers fall into that evil category we are seeing here. Many politicians too, come to think of it.

All of that being said, this is still the best place in the world to live, by far - which seems a bit scary at times like this...

Alot of police think that's the law.

But there was excessive force in that the person was tasered twice and stomped on.

Taser pain is the most excruciating pain ever. That is because tasers give so much electricity, the person's entire nervous system is on fire and they collapse and convulse. So Amnesty International and the UN say tasers should only be used when DEADLY FORCE would be allowed.

This guy should sue because he was not an agressive subject, so tasering and face stomping violated excessive force rules.

Also, he's a pastor, and you know...someone who is supposed to be a man of God would have already forgiven those men because it is not God's way to be spiteful, vendictive, hateful towards other even after everything that's been done. The whole, turn the other cheek thing.

In order for him to be arrested for resisting arrest they have to actually tell him that he is under arrest for something. This is a clear case of abuse of power.

This is about his rights and liberties... both of which were clearly violated by the border patrol and then by the state trooper. He has every right to be told why he's being detained.

KJCavalier · 7 months ago

OK here is the rest of the scoop. Pastor, I do believe you would have been proven innocent in a court of law and in turn, you could have sued for false imprisonment. instead you chose to refuse a direct command from a law enforcement officer, this constitutes resisting, and since this was an arrest being put into place, resisting arrest was the call. You are in a moving vehicle and refusing to exit, thus the use of a taser has become necessary. Your vehicle could have very easily been used as a weapon, Your actions and decisions caused the response you received. Had you cooperated, the entire matter probably would have been over sooner, and you wouldn't have made a reason to sensationalize another brutality story.

know your rights people!!!

Alesia · 7 months ago

1) Probably cause means no warrant needed at a routine traffic stop

2) Myranda's are read after the person is being placed into handcuffs and told why he is being arrested. They told him why they were arresting him (border control doesn't play), but they didn't have him out of the car with cuff on, so they couldn't Myrandize him.

And how do I know...because I'm a cops daughter and growing up with a cop as a dad taught me many things in the law enforcements' lives.

Cowboy · 7 months ago

I'm sure your dad does a great job as a police officer, but that does not mean that all cops do. Not only that, but I'm sure that some of what you've learned from your father is somewhat of a biased take of what the law actually is, which is understandable.
The officer's involved in this video did not have the right to search the man's vehicle (a dog wagging it's tail is not probable cause) nor did they have the right to use the excessive force that they did on that poor man.

cars · 7 months ago

they had no probable cause from what i saw

Freddy · 7 months ago

First off your growing up with law enforcement just makes you blind to the corrupted side of it. Secondly, to have probable cause, you actually have to have a probable cause, not just, I'm a cop and I said so because I think I'm better than everyone else. Thirdly, he obviously didn't try to run away or resist arrest, and he obviously had huge gashes in his head, so your an idiot for even thinking he was way over exaggerating. Cause if you ever got a gash in your head you would know that it bleeds like hell. And I think cops just think its funny to taze people know. Even if it was just once it was way more force than necessary.

Freddy · 7 months ago

What I'm saying is that your a fool, because even if it was way over exaggerated, it is clear from the video, even just the first one, that the pigs were abusing their power. Not that I'm saying it was way over exaggerated, to him everything probably was that bad, seeing as his muscles were going through uncontrollable spasms during most of the arrest.

Vincent · 7 months ago

probable cause has to have a stated reason.

For example, if I wanted to search your vehicle because of probable cause, i HAVE to tell you why i have probable cause. If i don't tell you, then i don't have probable cause.

chris · 7 months ago

your definition of probable cause is not complete. Yes a officer can search a car with just probable cause, but it has to be reasonable and they must tell the suspect before any action. Now, they lost their probable cause when the refused to bring the dog back down for confirmation. Now if you want to number and define probable cause, let me show you what the true term of probable cause is and if u think i am wrong, ask your mommy and look at the criminal procedure for the criminal justice professional by John N. Ferdico.
1... probable cause, exists when the facts and circumstances within a person's knowledge and of which he or she ahs reasonably trustworthy information are SUFFICIENT in themselves to justify a person of reasonable cautin and prudence in believing that something is true. It means something less than certainty, but more than mere suspicion, speculation, or possibility.
I can keep going but i might, hopefully you understand. Just because you are a daughter of a cop, doesn't mean you know ANYTHING about the law. Study your shit before you preach it. Oh, I am a criminal justice major so please try to lecture me.

two, they never told him why he is being arrested. when he asked them, the officer could not come up with anything. Now with time they will come up with some stupid reason which will be through out due the issue at hand which should and if he's smart lead to a civil suit. So those Miranda rights that were read to him will be admissible in court, promise you, that is why it will be dismissed and those cops and county will suffer them losing their jobs and a hell of a civil suit.

Read you stuff before you preach it, and so you know, if you decide to read it, try to understand your Fourth Amendment rights and the entire CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAM.

Infernal Shotgun · 7 months ago

He's claiming that their probable cause is bullshit. Their probable cause was the dog barking, which, at the very least, he didn't hear. And considering that they refused to bring the dog back, of course he's gonna claim that they're bullshitting him.

But you are right about probable cause allowing you to search a car without a warrant. Something about it being considered a "mobile crime scene", I think.

platinum6string · 7 months ago

first, most drug dogs dont bark... they sit and point with their nose... and why the fuck would he make the dog come sniff it again when he doesnt need to. regardless of whether or not this dumbass believed the dog signaled the car, when the officer says the dog did and asks you to get out of the car... you get the fuck out of the car.... it wasnt a get out if you feel like it... it was get out of the car... so you get the fuck out...

CJ · 7 months ago

You sound just like one of these police men, going for the kill, and then asking the question. We're talkig about a person which is asking the police (who should be protecting him) to show him what he did wrong, and they didn't want to, so no, i don't have to got out. It's not enough to tell me, show me, I do not take arders from the police.

Zac · 7 months ago

dissagreeing with an officer does not equal probable cause. If we allow shit like this to happen without consequence we will end up with absolutely no rights as citizens. There were better solutions to solving what they considered to be a possible or aparantly more like absolute and life threatening situation. Give an asshole a weapon and any amount of legal reign and you can be sure he's going to abuse the use of both of them. Cops don't give a shit about the public. The don't work for the public. Cops only protect other cops and laws. They don't deserve a cent of the tax money they get. We're supposed to be paying them to protect our best interests as a nation. Not penalize patrons for breaking laws that for the most part are created through prejudices or to make them money and keep them out of trouble when they get caught abusing their "power". If not then tell me why fines are raised regularly or why state wide stings occur or laws keep getting ammended to allow government officals more and more power over the public. When was the last time you actually sincerely thanked a police officer for anything he had done for/to you? Cameras don't lie these fuckers need delt with. Too bad it's almost certain that a slap on the wrist probably more painful than what these guys are punished with. if anything at all.

PigBisquitNow · 7 months ago

I just cant wait till this shit happens to one of you who are acting like the pastor got what he deserved. He did nothing and was tazed and beaten. But it doesnt matter because "my dads a cop and I'm on their side. Quit taking sides and look at the facts. And if you think this is justified dont come crying to anyone when a cop does this shit to you. you never know, he might not know your Daddy and end up tazing you.

FNG · 7 months ago

actually bud drug dogs go nuts when they find drugs, it the bomb dogs who sit and point for obvious reasons.

theguythatgottasedisadouche · 7 months ago

the thing is those dogs dont need to bark all they have to do is point, officers are trained to know the very subtle signal from the dog. If the dog goes off and it is a criminal trafficing drugs what do you think will happen? He will sit there and not try to run? Its just logical that the dog wouldnt make a noise.

As for nothing being found in this case, Yea cops bad... but he still shoudlnt have refused.

Cowboy · 7 months ago

Oooohhhh, okay I get it. If a dog sits and points it's nose, that means that there's drugs or maybe even a human hidden where the dog's nose is pointing. So that must mean that I have drugs or a human hiding on me right now! Thanks for explaining how advanced these police dogs are, I totally get why they suspected this man of carrying contraband...because the highly trained dog sat and pointed it's nose.

DJRecreation · 7 months ago

Who told you drug dogs don't bark? Of course they do, they're supposed to in order alert the officer thats there are drugs there. They also scratch pretty hard trying to dig in if they find any drugs...I know this through experience lmao.

Lestat · 7 months ago

My dad owns a drug dog and when he does the training when I'm around his and all the other dogs that his colleges own, sit rather than bark and they aren't taught to scratch, so if you correct them for scratching they wont do that either. l2traindogs.

Kainsshadow · 7 months ago

a cop arriving on the site, being told the information, but then having it refuted by the person in question should have followed common sense just to have it checked again. It was nothing more then having the dog come over again for 1 min...

Also they can check with "probable cause". but they still need to state that. And they also must be told what they are being held for.

It is also an excessive use of force, even on an aggressive suspect to use that much man power, the tazers, and braking the glass on BOTH sides.

Lastly, just got to point out, your quote "I was raised around Police officers and I know when things are being fabricated and when cops are breaking their regulations." Do you really listen to yourself?

Seriously, if this was you walking down the street, and cop pulls you aside, and wants to see whats in your backpack. You got your your favorite sex toy in there, or something else equally embarrassing, you'd certainly want to know why he wants to look in there. After about 20 mins of asking, he says cause he asked some kids mom something, about as reliable as the dog, and then decides to hell with it, whips out the Mace, the nightstick, and mighty boot. Eyes red, hand broken, face on the ground and slowly dragged to the nearest clinic, which you have to wait in line. Hell, that's even been than this guy. This story only had one Cop (if you can call them that when they do this sort of thing).

Even if what he says is a stretch, both the cams in the first video go together. There is no doubt that they did break both sides, and dragged his out of his car, and had to drag him into the office.

Melissa · 7 months ago

Both my parents are construction workers, doesn't mean I can build a house. Being a cops daughter doesn't make your opinion

a) any more viable than anyone else's
b) right.

If YOU were a LAWYER, I would give your OPINION more weight. A cop's daughter should know that hearsay is inadmissable.

First, you DO have the right to know why you're being searched and why you're being arrested. I believe in this case he was told the search was for suspicion of drugs, which they legally can search his car for. But they gave no reason for the arrest. While I'm not sure about the dog thing "My drug dog barked" seems highly suspicious and, you DON'T HAVE TO CONSENT TO A DOG SNIFF ANYWAY! It's a form of searching.

While I am not a lawyer, I got all of my information from flexyourrights.org

To those cops who are still legit, more power to you. We are few and far between in this world. And to these guys...just burn.

Swappy · 7 months ago

Actually you do not have the right to stay in your car if a police officer pulls you over and asks you to exit your vehicle. Secondly, a warrant is not required to remove someone from a vehicle. Know YOUR rights! It's called listening comprehension skills. If the guy would have done as instructed none of this would have happened.

FNG · 7 months ago

Bloop you are soooo wrong my friend.
A:"but you have the right to not exit your vehicle in any situation where you are pulled over" If a police officer has reasonalbe suspicion he can remove you from your vehicle.
B:"provides a warrant and cause + Myranda rights". In the case of a traffic stop where a police officer has reasonable suspicion or proabable cause there is no need for a warrant. In the case of Miranda, that only has to be read where, after being arrested/detained, he is being formally interviewed, not during the onset of an incident like we have hear.

The police were a little excessive maybe, but a passive resister is still restisting a lawful order given by compitent authority, right or wrong, he should have complied to that authority end of story.

In the video he asked that this dog that hi on his car be brought back out, um no he has no right in that instance to make that requests until he is safely out of the vehicle where a proper search can be conducted.

Do you think the freedoms you enjoy are actually free? With the always present increase in terrorist threats coming from our borders there is to be expected some loss of the freedom you once enjoyed crossing that border.

Short of it, the pastor was in the wrong for not obeying a lawful order given by compitent authority, If the officers could not access the man because he lockd himself in his vehicle they have the right to remove him by whatever means is necessary and available to them.

You guys saying he is fabricating it. Look, that'd be honest assumption, I suppose.

Even if he fabricated great parts of this, there's no way around that.

Sonicboomin1 · 7 months ago

The police told him what to do, and why they were doing it. He refused to unlock the car and get out of the vehicle. The taser was used to ensure the safety of the police officers. Whether or not excessive force was used or not, isn't clear. The cuts on his head could be from when he was being tasered, or handcuffed.

Kayzilla · 7 months ago

Legally, he did nothing wrong. Cops at faulty for this one. *BUT* he kind of messed up on the common sense department. You could tell in the video of the action that he was being condescending and an overall hassle, eventually someone's going to get pissed off and try to take advantage of their authoritian position.

The smart thing would've been to just let them search his car, answer the questions, and he probably would've been out of that stop in less then 30 minutes. While it wasn't *right*, the guy had it coming.

I've been in situations like this with policemen before they think they own everything, they tell you how to speak to them, they believe they are on a higher level than you, apparently not even human. Don't forget, like he was saying.. they love to mock and make fun of you all they can, and treat you like garbage because some idiot decided to give these backwards people a LITTLE bit of power and the worst part is they get away with it. In my opinion terminate them from there jobs, don't allow them to ever get another job involving any type of law enforcement, make an example out of these clowns.. allow this man to press charges on the ones that tazered a PASTOR multiple times while on the ground and obviously showing no sign of hostility or weapons in possession with his hands on his head, well.. one on his camera and one on his face obviously. This guy deserves justice there is an example to be made here. People are Disgusting.

Gerry Owen · 7 months ago

First off, ALWAYS remember that the Border Patrol is NOT governed by the same rules and regulations as normal police, or even as the FBI. Since they are covering entry/access ports, the rules are different in the Customs Zone. People crossing in can be detained for pretty much anything, and this Customs zone extends 20 miles from the border.

Granted, the Border Patrol personnel involved in this case were led by and possibly included a couple power tripping assholes, but that does not change the fact that they were perfectly in their rights.

Things are different along the border, your rights don't automatically apply just bcause you are a few feet in....

I have been to that same border patrol station back in January. Me and three of my friends who live in Chandler, AZ went to San Diego for the day and on our way back (around 1 AM) and the police there pulled us over and demanded to search my car. They made us wait outside in the cold while they searched my car and tore it apart. While we were sitting there they kept making comments on how their dog was the best on the force and that we couldn't hide anything from him and one of them kept saying that he hoped that they found something illegal so that they could send us to jail sense it had been a slow night. One of my friends asked for his jacket because he was cold and they wouldn't give it to him and made cracks about how it would be warmer in jail. When they didn't find anything they sent us on our way. Stupid pigs.

I do understand why he was refusing to get out of his car, his rights and all that .. BUT .. if he had just stepped out of the car, popped his trunk so they could see "Oh it's Empty. Thank you for your cooperation." He would have been on his way without any of this.

By refusing to cooperate with the police makes him suspicious and therefore the following occurred.

If he had nothing to hide then honestly he had no reason to provoke the officers to forcefully remove him from the vehicle.

Chris · 7 months ago

I understand why he did it, but i think that if the cops were about to break my window, i would have been like... ok F*** it im outta here.

and I believe that a cop's "suspicion" is not probable cause.

there needs to be set rules about probable cause if there hasnt been already. it seems too important to have such a large grey area.

Infernal Shotgun · 7 months ago

While it would have (probably) turned out better if he'd just exited the car, allowing the cops to violate his rights encourages them to violate the rights of others. Now I can't claim that he was thinking that, but I hope he was.

Jakki · 7 months ago

Well in that case any drug trafficer can say well what about this right you dont have a warrant at this moment you cant search my car. Than look what enters your country. When they have probable cause they than gain that right to search your car.

Infernal Shotgun · 7 months ago

1) If the dog actually DOES bark, then the police have probable cause, which, under Carroll v. United States, allows the police to search the car without a warrant. However, the pastor said that the dog didn't bark, and he wouldn't get out of the car until the police officers came back with the dog so that he could see it bark.

2) If the police don't know the guys a drug dealer (I'm gonna say that's another form of probable cause), and the dog doesn't bark, then cops had better not search the guys car.

This kind of stuff pisses me off to no end. I don't think it's so much about the legal rights of the situation but about the ethics of the officers. It doesn't matter if the pastor technically broke the law, what matters is that they stopped him for no reason in the first place. Then they pulled the classic power-addicted pig move, saying the suspect is resisting arrest. And the pastor wasn't even NEAR resisting, he kept asking what he was being arrested for in a calm voice.

After watching it again you are an IDIOT they asked you to conform and you DID NOT once again if there is nothing to hide why act like someone with secrets? Plus I would like to Know how you got the tapes from the state so quick! I also need you to prove you are an actuall pastor or just want simpathy! For some reason you just don't seem like a man of god! Your actions speak otherwise.

The thing about these videos is that it is only this guy's word. We did see some footage from the border patrol, but there is no way to know what the officers' PC was or why the situation escalated to that point. In my opinion, from what I saw, I think that all parties involved handled the situation poorly.

TL · 7 months ago

When your told your under arrest, then your are under arrest. This preacher is not much of a preacher if all he is going to do is cause problems. If he thinks the arrest is unlawful then he should go to court and fight the charge, and if he wins then he can sue later.

I feel he was wrong on this, for the most part a dog alert is considered PC for a search and not cooperating is an obstruction of jan officer in the performace of his duty. He should have known why he was arrested as soon as he started demanding the dog come back out, ..........give me a break. The dog is a tool for officers to use, not a circus show.

These type videos are all over youtube, it's starting to look like a fad. In fact it is very dangerous to play around with the police like that and to act like your an attorney. Those guys have a job to do and letting someone go after a dog has alerted is not normally part of the deal. He started acting like they were pointing a camera at him and they were avoiding showing his face, in fact the camera was a static camera. Your going to bleed if your covered in glass. He should have just let them in the car. You ask for trouble and you get it, in my opinion.

My preacher would have just got out and started praying they didn't find anything.

RE cyril's link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl84DU77k7s

I was going to sympathize with the pastor... until I saw Cyril's link. I'm surprised he didn't get arrested when he was following the police officer that had the automatic rifle. I'm pretty sure that falls under something like 'Disrupting a Peace Officer.' The other officer was right about the flashlight thing too!

Now I think both parties were at fault here... I think the officers could have used better judgment, but refusing an order by a police officer does not help anything. Either way, I don't really believe we have the whole story here anyways. If I had been in his position I would have opened my trunk, regardless of my rights. I would have then asked for their name/badge number and ask for a supervisor to log a complaint or follow up with whatever legal actions were available to me.

Remember people, theres always two sides to a coin.

Ron26 · 7 months ago

He should of kept his window down. Step out of the vehicle when asked. Then answer all the cops question. I mean what does a Pastor have to hide. If you get chosen to get search just deal with it, instead of making life more difficult for everyone. Now some people may say its about his rights and the principle of the matter. when law enforcement ask you questions its best to answer them, obviously without incriminating yourself. I mean were only see half the story. I'm sure if we we're to see from the beginning of the events of the dog sniffing and questions being asked, many of our opinions would change.

Laura · 7 months ago

honestly, the pastor was being a douchebag.
all he had to do was listen and do what they said and he wouldn't have gotten tazed.

fucking dumb-ass!! he deserves his own award of fucking dumbass douchebag of the day! anytime the FUCKING LAW tells you to do something, DO IT!!

the pastor was a dick and they should've tazed him on his dick as well!

Pastor who got tazed gets a nomination for DOuchebag of the Year!!!

TL · 7 months ago

I agree with Mehan, it was handled poorly, on all parts. The preacher should have known when he entered the check point that it was there for a reason. In my state being arrested means your under arrest it is not up for discussion. You also do not have to tell them they are under arrest as long as it is implied. In this case the officer did say he was under arrest and he replied to the officer he wanted to see the dog again. I don't feel sorry for this guy one bit.

Dogs can alert in many different ways. By sitting, pointing with the nose or scratch, bark or laying down. You won't necessaryly see it happen. In the preachers defense it does sound like the dog was used in an effort to meet the PC rule. He should have instead of refusing challenged the dog in court and sued.

Joan of Arc · 7 months ago

Didn't really have time to read through the numerous comments, but the Border Patrol Agents had every right to search his vehicle due to the probable cause given to them by the canine handler. The dogs do not necessarily bark. If you look at the camera in the primary inspection lane, I'm sure you'll notice the dog changing positions or what not. Ask any canine handler, federal, state, or local. Barking is for Hollywood.

The man had no right to resist the search. Under law, the Border Patrol Agents could tear his car apart until they were satisfied that there was no contraband or human presence in the vehicle. Who knows, maybe this Pastor smokes weed... it is not as rare as you think. He might have even run over someones joint on the road a few miles back.

The Border Patrol Agents do not use Tasers... a police officer did. This is where it went wrong, so I think. He was not actively resisting arrest... only passively resisting. They had every right to bust in the windows, though. They should've sprayed him with OC.

If anything, he might win his case on excessive use of force. But don't be blaming the Border Patrol Agents for abusing their powers. Try reading up on Immigration Law before you make baseless and unintelligent comments about your Constitutional rights. Let me help you:

Immigration and Nationality Act of 1995. It's a good read.

chimmy · 7 months ago

if the dog really did nothing as he said, they did NOT have probable cause and should not have done a thing. his rights would allow him to stay in the car. the cops just get super pissed when people actually do know their rights and they cant shove people around(the shitty ones anyways). there are corrupt cops everywhere though, i got searched after leaving the bowling alley for "doing something suspicious in the bathroom" which i never entered.

p.s. hearsay =/= probable cause

Laura · 7 months ago

Since when does a freaking pastor know what the fuck a search dog does when it freaking detects something?

JESUS must have told him!!!

TL · 7 months ago

To answer the question of "was excessive force used". In my opinion "YES". I don't think the preacher was right, but the officers should have only used enough force to effect an arrest. That normally means one step above the force he or she may use in resisting. They should have just simply grabbed him and a pulled him from the vehicle. The taser and the kicking or standing on his head etc was excessive if in fact it was true. If you refused to put his hands behind his back or just resisted the arrest by locking up then pain compliance techniques could have been used.

platinum6string · 7 months ago

this guy is a moron. yes the first time the officer asks if they can search your car you have the right to refuse ( although who the fuck refuses, if you have nothing to hide or are just a jackass loudmouth like this dumbass ), but the second the dog sits and points to a specific spot of the car ( this guys trunk ) the officer has probable cause, you no longer have right to refuse... meaning get the fuck out of the car.... and when you resist arrest what would expect. duh you are the asshole making these officers jobs more stressful why would you expect them to give you hugs and smiles and not be a little rough with you. If you would simply respect the officer and be polite, the same would be given back. MORAL - dont be an asshole to people, and they wont be assholes back. And the fact that they found nothing in youre trunk doesn't mean jack shit... they cant know that without searching it... if a dog signals it than they have no option but to assume you are hiding something. and no the officer doesn't have to bring the dog out to show you it sniffing the car again. when the officer says get out of the car... just get the fuck out.

Infernal Shotgun · 7 months ago

Except he didn't think that the dog actually DID point out his car, so he asked the cops to bring back the dog so he could see the dog indicating that there were drugs/people in his car. But they refused. Why, I don't know. I'd guess that it's because the dog didn't actually bark, but I'd also guess that someone refusing to get out of their car has something in their car that they want to hide. I try to remember that.

platinum6string · 7 months ago

it doesn't madder if he believed the dog did or not. he doesn't have the right to demand to see it himself. the officer isnt required to show you the dog sniffing the car. and most drug dogs dont bark they sit and point.

Michelle · 7 months ago

Actually, the dog found absolutely nothing at this point. The main reasoning being the dog is either miss trained or that the dog found absolutely nothing. This isn't the first time that " cops " have actually wrongfully beaten or abused someone due to minor " resistance. " Now you saying that it's " alright " for the cops to say there is a " cause " for this then it shows there is none. This means there is none from the start of it. I've refused my car to be searched plenty of times. I told them to get a warrant and come to my home if they wanted to waste the time to search it.

My grandmother got caught from speeding alittle bit, instead of the cop giving her a ticket. He demanded to see her insurance, she was about 62 at the time. She was digging it out but she has a very high stress disorder and had two years ago had a stent put in her heart. So she asked the officer if she could just go inside, he could come in aswell so she could get her medication. He told her if she moved ONE step he could legally have shot her. Mind you this is a 62 year old woman, with no criminal record whatsoever. The cop was fired about two weeks later due to my grandmother not the only one being tormented like this.

I had an issue with cops when I was younger aswell. I had an emotional break down from the stress of school. They handcuffed me nearly to the point of cutting off the blood flow, then locked me in NOT a prison cell but a mental hospital cell for three days with no bed and only water and a sandwhich.

I personally know how cops are and how they think they can do whatever they want. Our police department was taken to court, and we won.

So, no. The cops can't do whatever they want because the " think " there is a cause. Not everyone is a sick fuck with drugs stored everywhere. I am personally sick of being told I am this person or " could " be.

John · 7 months ago

The burden of proof is on the officers in this situation. Yes, the man in the car had a reasonable right to know what evidence was being used against him. It is arguably true that he probably did not have the need to see the dog point out his car/trunk. However, if they HAD found something in his car, what evidence would they provide to prove that they had reasonable cause to search his vehicle in the first place?

Regardless, I'm siding with the man in this case. His rights were clearly violated -- whether or not he pissed off the officers in the first place is completely irrelevant. When in the heck are we going to start standing up for ourselves as a collective whole? Another gross violation was the use of a taser on someone that was clearly passively resisting.

randomdude · 7 months ago

maybe he didnt want anyone searching his car because he was afraid of what they might do? as stated in an earlier comment...she said that while waiting for border patrol to search their car they completely tore it apart and heard quotes about how they wished they found something illegal so they could get put in jail because it was a slow night? How can you still defend them?

Manic · 7 months ago

none of that matters the still had no right to use the fucking tasers, tasers cannot be used unless the person pauses a plausible threat to the police this guy didn't, yes they can use excessive force to get him out but the tasers (in this case) were way to fucking far especially on two sides i'm certain under any circumstance using two tasers on one person is illegal those officers should be stripped of there tittles fucking American pricks!

John · 7 months ago

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. This is undeniably an abuse of force. The man NEVER resisted. Not once! Tazers are intended to neutralize RESISTING suspects. NOT for people sitting in there car surrounded by agents with his hands covering his face. Unacceptable.

first mistake is for him not getting out of the car he might have a law suit on his hands but he did refuse to step out of the vehicle his windows were up and he did say he didn't want to get out i think thats enough probable cause for an arrest so if any one else says im not getting out of the car the police have to assume he is a threat.

What do you mean, he had to get out of the car? What if a police officer came up to you, buck-naked, with a knife in one hand, and his own dick in the other? Should you still have to get out of the car simply because he is a police officer? Because he was given his arbitrary power over a body by another entity that has arbitrary power over some body?

Those police officers are bags of vinegary cock.

The guy was an idiot. All the had to do was step out of the car, let them see nothing, and be on his way. Instead he was a stubborn idiot. Not only did he make himself seem suspicious by NOT getting out of his car, he didn't open the door, or hell even ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS. Moral of the story kids, if you have the choice of getting out of the car or having the crap kicked out of you...just step out of the car.

Michael · 7 months ago

so just because he didn't allow the cops access he is a threat? So if cops came to your home, told you that someone said you had drugs in your home and they wanted you to get out and let them tear your house apart trying to find drugs that aren't there (including but not limited to: throwing all clothes on floor, ripping open mattresses, tossing all contents of kitchen pantries/cabinets on floor, emptying/ruining everything in your fridge, tearing up carpet and perhaps even opening holes into your walls because they sound hollow and that is suspicious) You have no problem with that? If you hesitate you will think that they have the right to taze you repeatedly? smash your head on the ground so you have to get 11 stitches? Are you for that type of treatment?

Jakki · 7 months ago

they have to alert all threats or do you knwo how many illegal weapons and drugs would pass through the boarder due to that one right? The guy was being an ass hole. I mean the guy in the car.

FNG · 7 months ago

A: The man was in a vehicle not his home. So yes he was resisting arrest.
If the police come to your home looking for drugs they will have a search warrant and more likely than naught have more than ample evidence that you indeed have drugs in your home. Don't try to make brussel sprouts look like an apple.

It's true that they cannot search his car but once they have probable cause they don't need a warrant. With him being such a jerk they certainly have probable cause.

Chris · 7 months ago

I see people saying that they would just get out of the car. Sure, it makes things easier however just because authority comes its way and tells you to do something doesn't mean you need to comply.

If everything the pastor said was true then he was within his rights to refuse the officers. Especially after the second set of officers asked them to bring the dog back out and they said no.

Some people say you've got nothing to hide so why not let them search. Well, if the dog did pick up something why not have the dog re-search the car in front of him to prove it? By law you must be proven guilty however that doesn't actually have to happen until court.

Last thing I want to say is, that the cops used tasers on a guy who was just objecting to them. He wasn't yelling, swearing, or physically resisting arrest. I say they were in the wrong to tase the guy.

sinsational · 7 months ago

It is vitally important that a system be devised to limit or eliminate similar situations from occurring. A number should be posted to contact the supervisors or third party. Also a list of a persons rights should be readily on hand.

In this case both sides have legitimate arguments. I understand the police search with probable cause, but a second sweep with the dog should have been made. As for excessive force, tazers were mostly not needed. It is hard to tell how many were used. A taser log would be a helpful tool proving or disproving police abuse.

Again this is an important case in protecting peoples rights. I have often sided with security over unbridled freedom because I have rarely done anything incriminating. The need to protect rights is so severe due to human nature to fully exploit and take advantage of any system. There are no consequences greater than the lost of rights, especially when unequally lost.

Eli · 7 months ago

It seems to me that the arrest and forced entry along with precautionary violence was necessary. Although not to this extent, they all seemed to surround him and to my understanding he was tazed far more than necessary but this is a shortened video clip. I saw this about a week or so ago and the guy had a longer video where he sat there for several minutes yelling the same questions at the border patrol and while they're trying to be reasonable with him he keeps interrupting them and repeating the same thing over and over again. now really this isn't a crime but as was stated by one of the officers in the longer video anything out of the ordinary is reason for concern and this guy was acting like he definitely had something to hide, Especially initially when he wouldn't even agree to lower his window at all upon request. Really the guy is just a douchebag it seems in my mind similar to something like seeing a police officer looking at you quizzically then you look panicked and run in the opposite direction shouting you didn't see me commit a crime. You look overwhelmingly guilty when you could have easily enough have just been polite, submitted to a bit of the officers suspicion, and moved on with your life. It's their job to investigate things and prevent problems.

he was resisting arrest by not obeying the police officer and getting out of the vehicles... although the cops did not have to react quite like that.. fact is. both were wrong here but the pastor is an idiot..

Cop4Christ · 7 months ago

Just wanted to say a couple things. First if the dog did alert that is enough probable cause to search ANY vehicle. His refusal to get out of the car and allow them to search is enough to arrest him for Disobeying a Police Officer. They were conducting an investigation of something "possibly in his car". I feel they did go a little too far with the arresting "actions" but I wasn't there. Also, police officers deal with people everyday with guns and drugs, you can't tell the difference between bad and good so just because he is white and looks ok doesn't mean anything. I know of 70 year old "normal" men who have been arrested for smuggling drugs! Finally, to the pastor: ROMANS 13 1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you. 4For he is God's servant to do you good........Yes there are Officers who abuse their power...However, being a man of God if you submit to governing authority and they are in the wrong justice WILL be given to YOU by God! Respect those who are trying to protect you! We can not tell the difference between good and evil by looks so do what is asked and if nothing is wrong you will prevail! Laws were created by God so that we may know our sins! whether or you think they are right or wrong go to God in prayer and ask him to help you understand them so you can understand your own sins!

dude, a good pastor would have just let them search. this guy is not of god. he is just looking for trouble

ELH · 7 months ago

Unfortunately, neither the cops nor this pastor were completely correct in their actions. Yes the Cops used excessive force, but the pastor wasn't completely correct in his actions either.

The thing with the 4th amendment is that it protects citizens against unlawful searches or seizure. He is correct that he does not have to submit to an unwarranted search. That does not give him the right to remain in his vehicle when asked by authorities to leave. The proper handling of the situation, and something most people should know in protecting themselves, is to remove the keys from the ignition of the car, place them on your person, so in any pocket. Lock the vehicle and close the door.

In evoking your 4th amendment rights it is safest to say "I do not consent to any searches" to an officer that asks to look in your vehicle. Since your property is now locked the cop will be breaking the law by forcing his way into your vehicle. Officers do have the right to pat you down and frisk you for their own safety and to check for concealed weapons. But they are unable to remove any item (such as the previously mentioned keys) and use them to gain access to your car.

His mistake was not removing himself from the vehicles, but honestly the fact that people do not evoke their 4th amendment rights in these situations gives most cops the impression they are capable of searching anything they please in the vehicle. This is just untrue. Most of the people here saying you should just let them search the vehicle even if there is nothing to hide, seem to forget that you are allowed to not self incriminate or allow searches with out warrants. Even with probable cause, you can still request a warrant be issued before turning over the property to be searched.

ELH · 7 months ago

So I totally didn't realize that this was a border patrol stop @__@. Smooth.

Since this is a border stop most of the things I mentioned don't hold up. Since it is a search being held at a border patrol station, the need for a warrant due to probable cause is waived. An is dictated as a Customs search instead of normal law enforcement services. The only time a warrant would be needed in a border patrol case is that of privacy concerns, or cavity searches. But the vehicle and its contents maybe searched thoroughly.

someone · 7 months ago

The cops told him he is being arrested for resisting... however, they did not identify what charge he was resisting. Therefore, strike one to the police. The pastor did refuse to have his car searched, but that is not the probable cause for him being removed.
--- (This part is now three assumptions) A) the cops claimed to pull the dog out and did not actually do so. B) the cops did bring out the dog and that dog did not make a noise, nor any signals. C) The dog did signal ---
The pastor, when told he was being arrested for resisting, he should have gotten out... as to avoid the beating. Strike one for the pastor.
The cops should have taken proper steps by assuring the individual that this is a routine stop and that cars are being checked. They also should have stated that there has been smuggling of drugs into the country and that they are making sure that all these vehicles did not have said drugs. Since they do have a past of lack of brains and a past of doing things the wrong way, the do get a second strike.
Third, after checking his car and finding nothing, they should have taken him to the hospital and fixed him up, along with the county or state repairing or replacing his car. However, they arrested him on false pretenses and treated him with disdain. Needless to say, strike three.
The pastor should have all legal right to walk away from court with the arrest being taken off of his record, and be fully compensated for all damages to him and to his vehicle.

That is why you do not allow bad cops to continue on the force. They give law enforcement a bad name.

Wow, i read all of the comments below and i agree with so many.

IF cops were just like, "OH i guess he says he has nothing and rly doesnt feel like getting out of his car, EVEN THO our dog signals theirs something in there, we should just let him go!!" NO thats fucking stupid. The guy should have just gotten out of his car, let them search, and be the fuck on his way. Yeah they didint have to tazer him and rub his head in glass, but refusing to follow a direct order from a police officer, who puts his life on the line to protect us citizens, is showing complete disrespect, id be a little pissed too. Honestly i think he got what he deserved.. almost... i mean itll teach him to not be stupid like this again. When a policer officer says GTFO your vehicle, you do it! I still feel like wow what asshole cops, especially taunting and razzing him. But if police officers werent rough, wed have more drugs and immigrants/crimianls in our state.

As far as US law goes the pastor was perfectly within his rights, unfortunately the police weren't aware of that as they don't recieve training in the finer points of the law... and that cop was just ITCHING to use his taser.
In the UK we dont have tasers in common usage, the actions that cops took would have only really happened if there had been drunk driving or an accident where he failed to stop, and they would have taken the 'softly, softly' approach and asked nicely. They would have also said something along the lines of "I have reason to beleive there may be .etc" Although you can't arrest someone without stating why. (Im in a house share with a police seargent).

I totally think this is bullshit. Every now and then, people on the internet attempt to make a hoax that they hope will be so big and widespread and scare so many people that it will almost indefinitely find its way into the history books. If you don't believe me, check out:

http://whathappenedinpiedmont.com/

But what's even scarier than someone trying to lie about something so serious, is that this guy doesn't even need to lie for it to happen; it happens all the time. Unfortunately.

But the holes in these videos are:

1. If you listen to the first words out of his mouth in the hidden camera video, (well, let me ask you this, are you placing me under arrest)

This is something that most any director, amateur or not, knows is very common in a scenario such as this. You turn your camera on, and then get the, in this case officer, to confess to everything he's doing wrong while the tape plays; ask him in such a way that he almost definitely answers yes. "So what! Are you arresting me or something?!?"

2. When a cop tells you to cover your eyes (especially after you suspect some shit is up), why in the FUCK would you obey. An officer has no right to tell any citizen to covers his/her eyes (let alone bust someone's window open for politely refusing arrest). The only time a citizen should cover his/her eyes is if national security (or something along those lines) comes into question by them seeing it. At which point, if something like this comes into view of citizens, your ass is grass officer friendly.

3. How did he get the tapes back from these cops?

Although, it's not necessarily unheard of for a citizen to have his/her belongings returned to them, if these are crooked cops, they would find a way to hide the camera. If they couldn't they'd be in more trouble than job-loss.

Also, look at the second video:

4. Why does the camera women/man continue to zoom in and out. For some parts, I can understand, but it's as if he/she is zoom-happy or something. Another thing most directors know the human eye can perceive without the audience realizing it.

This just all seem so fake to me.

No offense, but he didn't have to be a douchebag for the first hour and just hide in his car. Border patrol has to do routine checks on normal white males so they aren't shown as racist. So who better than to pick a pastor?

three things with this. one in the first video he said their was no dog second video he says their was a dog??, why doesn't he just answer the questions and be on his way like a normal person has he got something to hide?? no. thirdly the cops are ass holes border control cops are part timers, weekend worriers it makes them feel like a real man when they do this.

Ollie · 7 months ago

If he had nothing to hide in his car he should have got out and let them check it. It seemed like he was purposefully being difficult to try and invoke violence and show them up. Why was he filming it all?! Hes definitely trying to show them in a certain light.

That being said those border patrol guys were brutal. Smashing the glass was perhaps justified, and perhaps one tazer, but if hes telling the truth about the other tazers (not seen in footage) and the 'grinding his face into broken glass' (not seen in footage) then they were way over the top.

The fact he is a pastor is COMPLETELY irrelevant.

Jakki · 7 months ago

This guys story is overexaggerated. If he would have just stopped being an ass and got out and let them do a simple search, none of this would have happened. Second how can his face be pressed into glass on the pavement when the window was smashed from the outside.The glass would all be in the car. and very little outside. He obviously overexaggerated the amount of times he was tasered.... probably 3 not a torturous amount or how he described it. Than he goes to say at the end that they beat him? yea ok another exageration.

The guy deserved it he was being an ass.... if trafficers tried to pull that right out of their ass while passing than guess what, patrol couldnt catch th drug trafficers because of that persons rights. The cop was being polite in the beginning also so w-e. The man of god brought it on himself.

This situation does not reflect who was in the right or who was wrong, it is simply a reflection of how some people have too much power and decide to abuse it from time to time instead of using it for the better good of all. Instead of physically harming and possibly traumatizing the harmless twit, the police could have just as easily placed him under custody by smashing the window and grabbing him without paralyzing him first with a stun gun. This video can also be used to show us how in today's America, attempting to get political with police will only turn you into an unwilling participant in the business of martyrdom. Another interesting point is how drug dogs are can be lead by their handlers to react even when no narcotics or in this case, dead bodies are present.

You have to be an IDIOT to not know that law enforcement is at an extreme level in this country right now, plus if you have nothing to hide whats the problem you whiney a**hole, just get out of the car let them look it over and be on your way.

Emma · 7 months ago

Why didn't he just answer their questions in the first place? I feel like, perhaps the border patrol used excessive force, however, if he REALLY just wanted to get home he probably could have just complied. And, the fact that he had his camera on kind of proves, at least in my opinion, that he thought something was going to happen.

What people seem to be forgetting is at checkpoints any vehicle is subject to being pulled over. When the "Pastor" refused to answer the questions and refused to get out of the car, he was impeding an investigation and relinquishing his right of search and seizure.
They had enough probable cause when he refused to answer questions and get out.
I am glad he rode the lightning.

What the fuck would you think if you were an officer and you asked a man "can I look what's inside your trunk, real quick?" and he says NO, NO NO NO I'll rather wait here for HOURS than let you search my car.

Smash his head and leave him to die. End of fucktard.

Everyone keeps saying "police". These weren't Police, they are Border Patrol.

If they were police, he would have a case.

Just the act of crossing the Border does not confer Rights like needing a warrant, etc. They don't have time for that, it is impractical.

The Border Patrol isn't the police, they regulate who and what comes into the country.

Terrapin Flyer · 7 months ago

All of you saying he should just let the officers search his car are willing to bend over and take it in the ass like a good little obeying citizen. His rights were being violated. They cannot just arbitrarilly search an American citizen based on bogus charges. The fact that they refused to bring the dog back and that they found nothing in the end leads me to believe that they were bull shitting. Also, those officers used entirly too much force. There were like seven of them vs. one skinny white guy. Give me a break. It was just a chance for those power tripping officers to use their toys and feel superior.

Annonymous · 7 months ago

I want to be sympathetic towards this guy, but I just can't. Imagine if he did have a human body in the trunk and the cops just let him go, because the dog's alert wansn't big and loud enough. If the police have any suspicion (even if cause by a dog) they can search your car. If you refuse, you get arrested. If you resist arrest, you get what this guy got. Did the police go too far? Probably, but that doesn't make the pastor right. Besides if he had nothing to hide, why didn't he just open his trunk? He said he was eager to go home. Cooperating would have gotten him home a lot faster than talking back to police.

DJ · 7 months ago

"Why is this happening in the USA?" Because idiots like you think you should "test" law enforcement, who are trying to keep the country safe. If law enforcement asks you a question, answer it. Not answering that question makes you look guilty. Guilty or not, you look guilty. Which in turn brings the dogs over, which in turn leads to them busting out your windows and tasering you when you refuse to get out of the vehicle. If you had just answered the question to begin with, you could have saved yourself all that time and pain.

Aaron · 7 months ago

1. The dog singled out his vehicle. Plain Sight, Plain Sniff, Probable Cause.

2. He refused to remove himself from the vehicle. Resisting Arrest.

3. In the United States you can be arreted and held for 24 hours without being charged with anything. Resisting arrest on a probable drug trafficing violation is plenty reason to arrest someone.

4. Being a Pastor doesn't guarantee that you are not in the wrong, being a cop does not guarantee that you are in the right.

kommonsense · 7 months ago

this retard clearly has never worked with very many work animals...most animals today are trained when the detect something to sit down and stay there till the handler gets there and releases them. so for him to say the dog didn't detect anything is stupid. secondly when an officer who has already told you he has probable cause to search your vehicle just get out let them search it and then leave 10 minutes later, instead of being stupid and waiting 2 hours then getting beat up. maybe if you weren't a redneck hillbilly you would understand that

eric · 7 months ago

We've know for many years that cop are dirtier then the ave person. They protect each other, even when they see something they know is wrong. Some of the most deceptive people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing are cops. I even know a few people who left the force because of the stuff that other cops were doing, and they couldn't do anything about it.
The only difference now, is the commonality of video cameras and the internet. I just wonder how much of YOUR tax dollars go to the victims of police brutality and misconduct. So many states are broke, and this guy will most likely get a FAT settlement. Kinda makes me want to drive along the border, acting "Suspicious" in hope that I may run into one of these DICKS, so I'll get PAID!

onedeed21 · 7 months ago

CAUSE AND EFFECT, Who gives a fuck what his rights are. Well I'm not sure who does but i know for damn sure it is not the cops. I live in mississippi and i'm no stranger to dirty cops. Think about how long these jackass go to school, what is it 6 months and then they get to cart around tazers and guns and decide who lives and dies, who's guilty, who's innocent in the world when there is no time for courts and higher minds to debate. It is ridiculous! Maybe if they had not be given tazers in this situation, the cops would have gotten creative and taken a tire of his car so he couldnt have gone anywhere until he let them search the car. Did the cops go overboard.... ABSOLUTELY YES! Is it a tiny bit suspicous that this man let them break his windows in and he just happened to have a camera and film it?.... YES it makes me wonder. I dont wanna say he asked for it, but hott damn GET OUT OF THE CAR!
TAZERS ARE CRAZY, I think sometime in the near future we will find evidence we cant ignore that tazers are bad for the heart and hopefully they will be retired. There is definitely something off with this guy that he would allow them to
1 BREAK HIS WINDOWS
2 TAZER HIM
I would doing in thing short of sexual favors to avoid tazoring, but that's just me. So, in equation where GET OUT OF CAR= NO TAZER. I would GET OUT OF CAR.
The other part of my brain is thinking HOTT DAMN I dont have hardly ANY rights at all. When do i get rights? What is too FAR? When the cop is tazing me, forcing himself on me and i make a break for it, then get arrested for resisting arrest. OUCH!
AND Who the hell does this guy think he IS GOD?.... "Do I have to obey police officers?" Yes you do. They do things and ask questions later. YOU should do what they ask and file a complaint later, but I dunno men are just retarded, the cops, the priest everyone in this equation is WAY WRONG. Some are just wronger, or would this baptist tell you that no sin weighs more than another?

Snackland, since when demanding the rights that are guaranteed to every American citizen by our founding fathers resisting?!?!? They put that unlawful search and seizures in the constituion for a reason...and this is it. "Because we said so" is not a legitimate reason to comply. This is opening the door to unlawful searches and seizures. The catch 22 that the officers have is that if you do not concent to a search then you must be hiding something. That gives unscrupulous officers a loophole to violate your rights. How can you accept that?

Good thing that he is a Pastor so he can practice what he preaches:

Matthew 18:21-22 ESV Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” (22) Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

This is fucked up. This is the cops thinking they're some superficial bad ass with tasers who can do whatever they want. This guy did nothing wrong he asked for confirmation he has the right to not let them search his car. They do not have official cause for arresting this guy. They're argument was: were arresting you for using your american rights and then were going to beat the shit out of ya. Ya know it just burns me up seeing idiots as the "protectors" of the people when they do this shit. Ugh fuckin dickheads. They'll get whats theirs though. They'll go to court and realize they screwed themselves

david · 7 months ago

omg, those cops are in so much shit. this guy is really smart not only did he know the laws better then them but he had the sence to get it on tape. look would it be easyer if he just did what they ask. no question, but as he said its his right to not have to without cause.
so what happened was this the cops thought the guy was hiding something and so they got the dog and said the dog did something even tho it didnt....now if the guy had drugs or something this would be a smart way or breaking the law so they could get him breaking the law. but they fucked up cause he called them out on it on camera then even said hey bring the dog out again and show me what it did but they didnt...and even then you could say they dont have to its the cops word should be good enough. the point they fucked up was when they tased the guy and kick the shit out of him if the just broke his side windows and dragged him out i would give them a pass, but they didnt have to taze him or step on his head they used excevive force and they are all in deep shit!

Brandon · 7 months ago

I'm torn on this one. I think they were probably too hard on him once they decided to take him out of the vehicle. Both windows didn't need smashing, and I seriously doubt that little guy needed a taser more than once.

HOWEVER. He was told why he was stopped and why they wanted to search his car. He was asked to step out of the vehicle for it to be searched. The police are not required (to my knowledge) to go through a lengthy conversation about the validity of their probable cause other than to state what it is. By this I mean: they don't have to educate this guy on how exactly they interpret the drug dog's actions and then recreate the cause for him. They stated their cause and had right to search the vehicle and he decided he'd rather make things worse.

So both parties are wrong: the pastor by causing the incident, the cops by taking it too far afterward.

You can ask to to be told why you are being searched it's within your rights to do so. So if you do ask they ahve to tell, adn he wasn't resisting an officer becouse he wasn't put under any formal charges before hand :S

Kevin · 7 months ago

ok now hold up. The problem is that the cops DID NOT have probable cause. Just like traffic cops have to show you the radar gun when you get a speeding ticket, police must be able to justify their searches/seizures even though they can't access a judge. Besides, you can hardly defend those guys the way they refused to be in any way logical. Civilian police forces are not supposed to terrorize people into following laws, even WHEN those people are breaking them. This is exactly why we have a bill of rights and the miranda rights and all of those things, and they are being crapped on by officers like these.

Al · 7 months ago

First, the officers had enough probable cause simply by him refusing to answer their questions. Then they had even more probable cause when the dog detected something (assuming they were not lying about that part).

I'm not sure how many times he was hit with the tazor, but they were justified in using it to get him out of the vehicle. Once he was on the ground, using the tazor would have been excessive. As far as the video's show, the cops did nothing wrong.

Bob Saget · 7 months ago

Cops can't say "our probably cause, or suspicion stems from him refusing to answer our questions"
They can't use the taser to get him out of the car, he wasn't resisting arrest (he was refusing to co-operate -- they hadn't said your under arrest), he wasn't fighting, he wasn't being threatening or aggressive.
Those border patrol guys completely over reacted, the violence, the taser, refusing to co-operate with him...
They were demanding what they had no power to demand

Ricky · 7 months ago

except that not answering questions has nothing to do with probable cause. its our 15th amendment right. you don not have to answer cops when they ask you questions that may or may not result in your arrest.

Shaw Davari · 7 months ago

15th amendment states that no person shall be barred from voting based on race you moron. Cops must obtain a warrant to search your car. Do not allow them to search your shit unless they obtain one. Our 4th amendment rights protect against unreasonable search and seizure, which was CLEARLY the case here. They had no right to search his vehicle. They had no right to detain him. This dude just hit the fucking lottery.

Reklaw · 7 months ago

Exactly and they hardly asked any questions! He just kept yelling get out of the car because a dog that did nothing (who the cops refused to let out) said nothing. Then once he was apprehended on the ground they continued to tase him. That's cruel. So al you think the cops did nothing wrong? If I became a became a cop and gave some stupid excuse for a reason to have you get out of the car and you don't I should tase you 5 times while your having your face smashed into broken glass and asphalt?

Dave · 7 months ago

Do you also agree that bashing him in the head six times with the knight stick while he was flopping around with 50,000 volts running through his whole body was justified as well. I think the cop did that for personal pleasure

jen · 7 months ago

I found out the hard way myself that when a cop says he has probable cause it is irrelevant at the time if this is true or not....you may try and fight it later in court but you will probably lose, even with video because you did not cooperate when told to do so. all it takes for a cop to prove probable cause in court is his word that he "believed" there was a threat ...it sucks but its true...if you resist, you will be arrested.....reality is hard to handle when it hits u with a taser!

jc · 7 months ago

The cops at the border have every right to search your car. I 've had my car searched when coming back from Canada and they didn't even give me a reason. Sometimes the searches are just random. If a cop tells you to get out of the car just get out. They don't do this type of thing just for fun. They know they are on camera. They probaly should not have tazed him but he should have listened

jay · 7 months ago

While I agree they were a bit excessive, the rule about seeing the radar gun is a myth in most jurisdictions they only have to tell you when the gun was last calibrated they do not have to show you the gun. Also the drug dog alerting them is probable cause and at that point they have every right to search your vehicle,

R · 7 months ago

As a private citizen you have the right to privacy and to not be subject to unreasonable search. The cops today do not like it when you demand these rights.

The pastor shouldn't have resisted. He should have stated clearly on camera that he was not in allowing the search and that his rights are being violated then fought the cops in court.

The sad thing is that too many people today are all too willing to give up their constitutional rights. The cops should not be allowed to violate those rights and if you allow then to take away your rights then they will expect the next person to do the same.

However, if you plead NOT GUILTY, then you can demand the cop to show the radar guns/ radar logs. But all that happens in court, not on the street

it's the apathy about these things that is disturbing. I hope the pastor ends up owning the whole border and all those tasers.

J.A.M · 7 months ago

The cops could have brought the drug dog back out but just like in an airport they can search areas when crossing over. He is an idiot for not just showing them what was in his trunk. If he said ok, walked out opened it, they would see the tools, then say ok your free to go, less than 5 min and no force would be used. But he had to be a hard ass trying to push his rights to the limit. If someone did try to bring someone over in the trunk of a car and did what that pastor did should the police just let him go? No you want them to get the guy in the trunk so whenever the police of suspicion like they said they did they CAN search that area.

sacrificing basic rights to pacify a police man is unacceptable. If what he said was true (and clearly it was because there were no dead bodies or drugs found in his car that the dog wouldve smelled) then it was just a bunch of corrupt cops. no one should have to give up basic rights just because a cop asks you too, especially if it is just to stroke their prides and screw over a civilian who didnt answer their questions.

The cops have to have a cause to search your car and he has the rights to ask and get proof of evedence to search. With them saying no to showing him evidence like a cop giving you a speeding ticket with no proof that you were even speeding whether or not you were speeding.

Marzyman · 7 months ago

I think the whole thing is bull... Cops are allowed to stop you and ask you questions, but you are not required to answer them or self incriminate yourself under the 4th amendment. Also, officers are not allowed to break into your car without reasonable cause, the dog thing was also made up b/c as he said the dog did not smell anything and he had nothing in the car. They could have told him step out of the car or we have to break in and arrest you, which would have caused him to get out and not get hurt.

As for previous post by Pizza guy, like I said you can refuse a search on your car, you have a right to not self incriminate yourself and protect your life, your liberty, and your personal belongings. Since they refused to bring the dog back it showed the cops were lying. Tazering a defenseless pastor is just wrong. Since the only reasonable cause was the dog thing, since they refused to bring it out to actually see what the dog did, b/c apparent it just sat there is enough to break into your car is bull.

Joe · 7 months ago

Yeah I'm a 3 year law enforcement major at a well-known college in florida. Also work part tme as a police officer reserve. I'm going to be un-bias on this issue and here is how I see it.

Bad decisions were made by the officers, were they excessive? Only those officers know, a video can not tell the emotions and the events that unfolded outside the view of the camera. Both windows needing to be broken? That was a bit too much. However the dog and the non-complience from the pastor was enough cause to make the pastor get out of his car. When he did not get out, what are the officers going to do? Wait for ever until he gets out, his doors were locked, they asked him and asked him to get out. Then, had a lot of respect when the advised him to close his eyes.

In conclusions this guy acts like and seems like a baby who needs atttention. I have been tasered, there is very little pain, but alot of non-controll. The tazer did its job and no one was seriously hurt. He caused this on himself. If he would have gotten out of the car everything would have been ok. Its easy to judge, but remember these guys deal with and see things everyday that would make you sick, all in an effort to protect you. They do not know what they are up against and for all they knew he had a gun.

It doesn't matter how stupid he acted by being mouthy to the cops. That does not give them the right to abuse their power and assault this man in such a way.

If you don't have drugs or a body GET OUT AND LET THEM SEARCH! WTF this guy should be the d-bag of the YEAR! He asked for this. I mean why is this even news. I mean I could go to a tap-out fight jump in the ring and put it on here and cry that I got my ass kicked is that news? The dogs don't have to DO anything. Him resisting and making a bigger deal out of the situation is what got him tazered and beat down. Step out let them do there jobs and then move on. So if he was in the middle of a baptism and these cops came in and said no I don't believe in baptisism what would he do stop the baptisism? no he would say get out of here.

I totally agree with the comment on that there was fault on both parts, if there was nothin he was hiding, y didnt he just let them search the car, but then I agree with his argument with amandment rights, but when it also comes to border control, who do they anwser to, the US constitution, or probible cause(which cops can use at any time)...needless to say, this reminds of me of US greed at its worst...SUE SUE SUE.....this is how i see it, cops on a power trip, and a guy excercising his rights as a US citizin, and taping it(which is a lil wierd, y would he be tapin his trip home to phoenix)...

Anonymous · 7 months ago

this is nothing more than police brutality. if what the pastor says is true then the officers involved in the incident deserve to be fired. Oh and he was fully within his rights to deny the officers the ability to search his car. the law states that if an officer cannot see something, he needs a warrant to search it. i.e., the trunk of the car.

ingozi · 7 months ago

Honestly, the police dog's reaction to the vehicle, being as it was a border crossing, gave those police officers every right to do what they did, and if he would have done something more threatening, they would have had every right to use maximum force.

Fair advice to all of you going overseas for your vacations, leave an itinerary with your parents, and tell your embassy that you are in country, and call your family every few days. This is to protect you, your family, and your nation. He was lucky to be caught at the border in his own country.

On the other side of things, I can hope he'll be going back to doing his job, because I bet he feels like he was handed over to the devil.

Exactly. If you just let them check they see some bad stuff. I mean you don;t think terrorists have tried to use the I am a priest to get past border patrol. Look at it like this if this guy had stuff we would be praising the officers for executing a perfect job. They have to be on high alert at all times if they spent an hour with this D-BAG who is to say the next guy who had something didn't sneak across. Don't get me wrong if you want to stop the local police in nowhere, ND go right ahead practice the 4Th away. DON'T TRY IT AT AN AIRPORT OR THE BORDER! Or in another country. I mean be glad you have those rights here. I don't understand all the response that are siding with the D-BAG! don't act like a D-BAG and you won't be treated like a D-BAG. These guys are just trying to keep us "SAFE". If you have nothing let them check it is their JOB! I am totally shocked that he would let them bust the windows HE KNEW IT WAS coming! At that point just give up and let them search if you feel like you were treated unfair take it to the courts! You know the beat down is coming and still don't listen that is YOUR fault! I have no pity for this D-BAG! Who agrees?

If that was true why didn't they let the dogs come back out when the DPS asked them too? It looks as if the stop was random and they were too stubborn to admit they were wrong in the stop.
This is going to be a civil rights lawsuit, an abuse of authority and use of excessive force. The police should be brought up on Felony assault charges.

jessica · 7 months ago

i completely agree... cops use their power against people in order to feel important. My mother was raped for 9 years by a cop and in the 70s nothing could be done because it is a brotherhood. These cops didn't like this guy and they suspected something that they were clearly wrong about since they found nothing. these cops should not have jobs. they should be put in jail. They should be the ones arrested. This is absolutely ridiculous. To taze him that many times is too much force, to beat him once he got out of the car and to mock him and laugh at him while he is bleeding is not okay. No one should need 11 stitches, no one should have to be hospitalized in order to arrested. And we do not have to follow their orders because they are cops, i think that shows very well what was going on. Your not listening to me so i am arresting you!!! that is crazy!

deathblade13 · 7 months ago

"Why didn't they bring the dog back out?" why should they. They said it gave them probable cause to search the car and he said no so they fallowed to the next course. IE: breaking into the car and forcibly removing him. It’s what their trained to do so why be surprised. The dog isn't there to prove suspicion its there for one quick examination and boom done. He failed. If he has nothing they do a quick search and done. You say no you’re hiding something it seems. Its not random, they dog raised suspicion, and its your freaken car what personal crap do you have in your car worth protecting. All that said. It’s clear these guys grossly mis handled the situation at pretty much every stage of the situation and should be charged with assault.
I just don’t think he had a right to ask for the dog back again because that’s ridiculous, it’s just an indicator to the handlers not for the one being searched. The search or the refusal to be search gets you arrested. Not the dog barking or not.
Bad situation that could have been avoided by applying some common sense.

You're an ass. Police dogs are trained to "speak" when they see something out of the ordinary. They don't just sit there like a normal, untrained dog would.

ed, you're wrong! sniff dogs react frantically to anything they're trained for "ANYTHING suspicious". the dog doesn't have to bark necessarily but body language delivers the message and police officers who rely on sniff dogs knew that. refusal to arrest is not bad granted that you know the extent of your rights according to law--- but refusal (or unclear reasons) to justify arrest from these officers is a big BS!

police officers have obviously used excessive force (and i call it, ABUSED OF POWER OR THE FUN OF HAVING IT))---and that don't surprise me---A LOT OF THEM NEEDED TO BE TAZED and toss out of the service. promise!!!

I am from Germany and i'm a lawyer here. Something like that could have not happened in Germany. According to our law that would be massive police brutality and the DA would rape them in court. It's highly possibly they would even go to jail for several months and never work as police officers or as an other federal employee again. German police officers dont even carry tazers, because we think its inhuman and way more dangerous than maze.

To carry tazers the cops get shot with them in training. They know how much it hurts. If we didn't have tazers what the fuck would a cop do if a guy weighing 300 pounds was coming at an officer who is a women and 130 pounds? The guy doesn't have a weapon besides his fists, would you rather her shoot the guy or use the tazer? You want all this freedom but don't realize there are people out there that will kill anyone and cops have to defend you from that. Just because you are not exposed to those people doesn't mean other law abiding citizens aren't.

Tasing is BS. A guy in my town was just killed by a taser, because he was high on coke and the taser caused a heart attack. Some ignorant people in town say he was a drugie so he got what he deserved. I totally disagree. If a person is caught with coke in their system, the law says they should be charged and taken to jail. Not summarily executed without a trial.

As far as this situation goes, come on people. Multiple cops apprehending a single suspect don't need to use a taser. A bunch of guys with nightsticks, mace, and hand-to-hand suppression tactics can't take out a single unarmed holy man? Really?

As far as the preacher being stubborn, he's allowed. Sorry. There is no law that says being stubborn, lippy, or having a different opinion makes it ok to beat down a suspect.

Jerry Hindle · 7 months ago

I was always taught that no matter what, on the side of the road the cop will always win....right or wrong he will go home and you will go to jail. So here is my observation on this matter.
1) comply with the request to get out and let them search the vehicle
2) get the names and badge numbers of every officer involved once the search is over.
3) go immediatelty to the nearest US ATTORNEY GENERALS office and file a formal complaint against each and every officer involved EVEN IF ALL THEY DID WAS WATCH.
4) contact a good bulldog lawyer ands file individual suits against each officer personally for violation of your civil rights and against the departments involved for each and every offense involved.
5) contact the news media and show them the tape. The media coverage alone will put every one of the police involved in a bad light to the public and they don't want that.
6) make sure that each lawsuit is seperate that way each officer will have to hire a lawyer to represent him/her out of their own pockets and even if they win it still costs them.
7)make the amounts requested outragiously high so as to attract the attention of the media again

@bluefootedpig: Why exactly are you not allowed to pack a gun? The only reasons that come to mind for that restriction are that you are a minor or a convicted criminal. Either one colors your opinion significantly, and either one means that you have different rights than most citizens.

Lets say you're caught drunk driving and you don't think you're drunk. Do the cops care if you believe you're over the legal blood alcohol level? No. It isn't their job to convince you. They told him why they wanted him out of the car. They gave him plenty of chances. He was removed.

Police have to match force with force. If the guy had a baseball bat or a knife, that level of force would be justified.

The truth of the matter here is that even though i do not think it is resisting arrest the court might because they asked him to get out of the car. But the true reality of it is they were falsely accusing him of a crime that was not done but the beating is what really tilts the titter tauter. They pastor was brutally abused for not resisting arrest at all after he was forced out of the car, the tasers and the slamming of the head is what is going to get these pigs years. What really is going to happen is that i think the pastor should do some sort of sue or something. Get money for this because the way this economy is going money is becoming a very valuable asset.

He had EVERY right in the world to say no. He had every right in the world to know if they were charging him prior to exiting. He had every right to have proof of why he was being pulled over.

The border patrol (if it was an hour) should have sought more assistance from local authorities.

This was a mess, plain and simple. The officers did something they should not have. It was overkill, unjust, and without probable cause.

Justin · 7 months ago

But the point is..... he wasn't a terrorist!

Yeah, it's ok to take someone out that is a threat, but when you're not doing anything to justify that kind of reaction from the police, then you should get your ass in trouble.

real simple concept here.

He has a right to question and face his accuser, that's part of our rights as Americans. If the dog accused him, then he's justified in asking to see what the dog did, his behavior, that indicated he was doing something illegal. Why do you think the DNS asked the border patrol to bring the dog back? Because that's his right.

And the cops can't arrest him on probable cause. They can detain him, place him in custody, but an arrest is only legal if there is proof and evidence against you. At the time, there was NONE. Only probable cause.

Police are not infallible. We are not supposed to blindly obey them. Without forward thinking men/women, this would wouldn't be half of what it is today. People are allowed to question the situation, innocent until proven guilty.

There was no crime, only probable cause. The only witness to this probable cause, was a dog. The dog was no longer around. I don't care how much a dog is trained, sitting down does not fully implicate someone of a crime. Dogs have three natural positions, laying down, standing and SITTING. Is it completely irrational to think, during the dogs shift at border patrol that it won't sit down at some point? So any time, for the rest of that dogs life, if it sits down, that means someone has a body in their possession or drugs on them?

And lastly, maybe if the border patrol and DNS weren't such dicks when talking to the man, he would have complied. They could have handled it very differently from the beginning. Why not say "Sir if you step out of the vehicle, we will bring the K9 back and show you exactly what he did to give us probable cause. But it's within the law for us to legally remove you from the vehicle and search it whether you cooperate or not. And we will bust out the windows and use a form of non lethal weaponry to secure you in our custody if you do not comply."

Resisting doesn't have to be a physical fight. It can be verbal as well. Telling an officer no or placing yourself in a position to resist (ex: not removing yourself from the car) IS resisting.

Bottom line, I would have gotten out. Probable cause, whether you agree with it or not, IS the law. And I would rather them search me and my car, knowing I have nothing to hide, than to not search someone who is. The 10 mins of my time is worth it and I respect those who are trying to protect us.

and for all the people saying he should have gotten out of the car, would you have him BREAK your rights just because a police officer asked you do?

He should have got out of the car, they told him why they wanted to search his vehicle. He could have been on his way in 5 minutes.

WTF get real look at the facts and think like a normal person.
1) Him being a pastor has nothing to do with this. How many religous leaders have been caught doing illegal and or immoral activities?
2)This looks like a permannate federal border patrol check point not something that just appeared out of nowhere. The so called pastor knew what it was and probably drove thru it many times before this happened.
3)The Officer told this douchbag that a dog alerted to his vehicle plain and simple reason was given for the detainment. They are not required to bring the dog back and search again just cause you do not like the answer.
4)He was given every chance to comply before any action was taken. He chose the outcome he wanted and he got it. He pre-planned this camera ready and did everything he could to make this happen.

Now ask yourself what would you do if you were the officers. Would you stand and debate and if so for how long? Or would you just say to him OK you can leave because you are so smart.

to the people who said cocaine dealers would not know their right, i wish i could live in your ignorant world. the people who really understand our rights and the laws are the people who break them. they are the people that have been to court, have dealt with lawyers who know the law and used it to help them. you do not learn about laws and how they are used correctly from tv or civic classes in school, it is actually dealing with real cases.

Evan · 7 months ago

the pastor here didn't exactly go about this in the best way, he doesn't have the right to demand the dog to come back, he should have been smart about it and got out of the car, especially if he knew he was innocent, it's morons like him that do this (and take videos) just to gain some media coverage. Now, the officers did overreact, however, i'm sure i'd beat him down too if he was acting like such a prick

Luke · 7 months ago

I agree with Jerry, somewhat. Cops were extremely abusive and obviously on an AUTHORITY TRIP. However, in my state and probably all states, we sign over the right for any law enforcement officer to search the vehicle and/or person without a warrent or probable cause when we sign our drivers license. We consent to sobriety tests also. But "sweet" we get to drive, right. I know of very-very few straight up good cops. And they hate the BULLY SCUMBAG COPS as mach as we do. A lawsuit has extremely low chance for success. #1 a cop is held harmless in any actions in pursuit of any probable cause wich includes wether or not he just fuckin" felt like it. #2 courtroom procedures are designed to prevent the admission of any truth should the state seem so fit in thier high and mighty rightous selves. Pastor, for your own good forgive them and pray for them, and let your heart be free from this.

Hey Dad,

You tell me if you think excessive force was used. This man is a Baptist Pastor, and was badly beaten for nothing by cops.

YES AND NO.I DIDN'T SEE ANY REASON FOR TAZERS.WERE THEY JUSTIFIED?YES.ONCE THE DOG MADE A HIT ON HIS CAR HE HAD NO RIGHT TO REFUSE A SEARCH.IT'S A ONE SIDED STORY.DID HE DESERVE TO BE TREATED THIS WAY?NO.BUT,HE BROUGHT IT ALL ON HIMSELF BY REFUSING.ONCE THEY HAD PROBABLE CAUSE THEY HAD A JOB TO DO AND HE WOULDN'T COOPERATE.WERE THEY ACTING LIKE JERKS/NO.THEY WERE CALM WITH HIM AND TOLD HIM TO COVER HIS EYES.HIS ACTIONS CREATED REACTIONS WHICH WEREN'T THE BEST RESULTS.BUT THEY HAD TO MAKE A DECISION AND REACT QUICKLY.HAD THEY NOT THAT CHECK POINT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELD UP FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG.THEY DIDN'T KNOW IF HE HAD DRUGS,GUNS,ETC..IT'S A SHAME WHAT HAPPENED.BUT IF HE HAD JUST GOTTEN OUT AND DID AS TOLD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT ENDING.DRUG DOGS DON'T SIT THERE AND BARK OR POINT.SO HE HAD ZERO CLUE AS TO WHAT THAT DOG FOUND OR HOW IT REACTED TO THE SEARCH.

HartOpen · 7 months ago

I agree with your dad. I've had my car searched before for because I was just sitting on the side of the road. I had nothing to hide anyways so it really didn't matter. It was sort of funny because it made them look stupid.
I don't understand why the guy, being a priest and all, wasn't more relaxed about the situation. Having your car searched really isn't that bad of a thing and there's really no reason to be all uptight about it. Well, unless you really do have something you're hiding.

There was no need to taze him! No fucking need! All these police officers did is over use there powers. It would have been completely nessersary to force the pastor out of the by man handling, but to taze and beat him just because you have the equipment to do so is just plain wrong. I am American who lives in the UK, it is people like this who give the USA a bad name! Those police officers should be given the full punishment possible to finally say to all of the law enforcement officers in the US that they are not above the law!

The cops were completely in the right believe it or not.

People always quote the bill of rights from the first sentence only. You have the right to bear arms.

When the cops come and before they turn your lights out for good because you won't put the weapon down. Be sure to yell out that they are violating your civil rights. Dumb Asses.... Bill of Rights are not concrete. You can bear arms, with a license.

If the cops had reason to search the vehicle then thats final, the guy shouldn't have argued and he wouldn't have been hurt, as for bringing the dogs out again to prove something, that is ridiculous, they are the police officers and shouldn't have to prove something to the person they are arresting, the taser was a step to far though.

jay · 7 months ago

Did they use excessive force to a bit yes. However, a lot of you are wrong about his rights, the 4th amendment that he keeps quoting does protect you from unlawful search and seizure, however when the drug dog alerts them that is probable cause and he must comply with their demands to get out of the car, could the dog be wrong, yes, but this does not give him the right to sit and not comply with their demands to get out of the car and they have every right by law to remove him by force.

Here's a valid question, why would you refuse to answer their questions? We live in a time where terrorists fly planes into buildings, strap bombs to their chests and kill men, women, & children. Do you not think it is your responsibility as an American to help law enforcement do everything they can to protect us? Have you ever worked with trained police dogs and know how they indicate a vehicle may have drugs or bombs? Most likely not...

Now with all of that said, I think the border patrol used extremely excessive force and should loose their jobs as there was definately a better way to handle the situation. However, you could have done so also.

Pizza Guy · 7 months ago

The pastor was wrong in the first place because he refused to let the police officers search the car. If ANY police officer has ANY SUSPICION AT ALL that there is something of an illegal nature in a vehicle they can search the vehicle without a search warrant. A vehicle is considered a "dynamic object" and you can easily move the vehicle to dispose of any illegal substances while the police obtain a search warrant. That is why none is needed to search a vehicle. When the pastor refused to let them search his vehicle it was considered obstruction of justice which is an arrestable offense. HOWEVER, the misuse of force on the officer's part was wrong. the officer does have the right to forcibly remove someone from a vehicle and a taser MIGHT have been necessary, but beating the hell out of the pastor probably was not necessary.

Joel · 7 months ago

This dude is definately gona get some pretty cash for this. Nice work cops, fucked up yet again. Lol.

John · 7 months ago

He has a constitutional right to bear against illegal searches and seizures. If the border patrol agents were confident in their probable cause, they could easily have gotten a warrant to search the car. I'd like to know what went on in the hour leading up to the breakin.

Failure to comply with an officer's request is only something you can be arrested for if the request was a lawful one. That's a very iffy situation, as their probable cause seemed to be pretty shaky. They beat the tar out of him, and that was totally unnecessary.

For all you stooges saying that they needed to taze him just in case he was a dangerous felon, they could say the same thing about anybody walking down the street that looked at them funny. Just because you suspect someone may be a dangerous person, that's not justification to beat/shock the hell out of them. They were just pissed off at his refusal, and took it out on him when they finally got him out.

And lest anybody think I'm just hating on cops, I'm not. I am currently in the process of becoming one. This was force that went far into the realm of the excessive, far beyond what was justified or necessary.

C'Zar · 7 months ago

So, I was reading through amendments’ & our rights as citizens. Granted the "Pastor" which i don't know why everybody is labeling this matter with this title, does have rights to ask questions as do the officers have the right to search, but only if they do have probable cause. "The Cops stated that their dogs gave them the right" well i don't believe they always use their dog for the right manners, but none the less that is going to be their argument. This man has the right to an attorney present while this is happening and he does have the right to refuse them to search his car.

Now the way they acted after they held a lengthy discussion is beyond their means!


I have posted some information about amendments etc. below and what i gathered from it that the officers have the right to search ones personal property after a witnessed offense of the smallest caliber (misdorneanor) allowed them this right!

I could go on for days about this, but just hope to shed some light from what i gathered.


One other thing keep religion out of it, just because he's a pastor gives no one the right to throw the first stone whatever their beliefs are. That is a non-relevant issue from this standpoint (as even he never mentioned that he was a pastor or not in the videos)

The simple thing to say here is that the pastor could have avoided everything by simply complying with the officers' request. Like an earlier post said, the officers don't have to go into a long discussion with him about why they feel they need to search his car. He was trying to prove a point and trying to show them that he was smarter than they were and he got his ass kicked for his trouble. Good for you, dude. You showed them, didn't you? I'll bet you were rethinking your strategy a bit when you were squeeling like a little girl and peeing all over yourself. If you've got nothing to hide, comply with the officers, let them do their job, and get on down the road to your wife or whatever and prove your smarts in some other way besides trying to show up the police on the side of the road. Man of God or not, you are an IDIOT !! You got what you deserved you little punk !

thunderfia · 7 months ago

the police/border patrol was not in the wrong. they stated the reason for there search. if he wanted to bitch about it he could have done it after the search. they have to do searches for a reason and if you refuse then that gives them even more reason the think your hidding something. they did not need to bring the dog in when he asked because it is not the same as a traffic stop. if he would have just gotten out of the car the dog would have come back through and they would have been done with it. if the police/border patrol did do anything wrong it would be that they have to give warning before they tazer you. A group of officers can be used on one individual. it is for the officers safety because you dont know if he is armed. dont blame the officers just because you dont like cops. 99% of them are doing there jobs. its always the 1% that messes it up for the rest. that 1% are the only ones you see on the news or posted on the web. you dont get to see all of the ones that actually do there jobs. so dont be quick to judge. educate youself a little. and this isnt germany so that shit doesnt apply.

JC · 7 months ago

Just want to add that the cop speaking to him gave him a lawful command to exit the vehicle. The supreme court (look it up people) said that it is a lawful command for police officer safety to have people exit the vehicle.
He ignored it several times, if he was having a problem with the legality he should get a lawyer and turn up in court. For all the officers knew he was sitting in the car with a weapon hidden in there. You can bitch all you want about police brutality but the more he argued the more it looked like he was hiding something.

Just a note the dog hitting on something is probable cause to search, reasonable suspiscion does not let a police officer search the car.

Deadair · 7 months ago

The Cops Completely overreacted. One taser is enough to put someone down unless they're huge or something. They didn't need to break both windows either...

...However...

He was told that they suspected drugs or a body in his car, so they had a reason to search the car...

If I was him, I would've just let them search the car because of these reasons.

There were no Drugs or Bodies in the car.

And if they would've made any damages to my car while searching it, as long I let them search it, they'd be required by law to pay for the damages.

So if he would've done what the police told him to, i don't think this would've happened...

thunderfia · 7 months ago

another thing is if his story was true about have his head put against the car door where the window was, he would have it alot worst. his face doesnt look that bad. but i could tell you he was tazered and taken out of the with the nessesary amount of forces. those officers arent stupid. they know the cameras are there. this guy is just upset because he was humiliated because if he just got out of the car he would have been where he needed to be.

I remember in my Criminal Justice course, K-9 units don't actually respond at all when something is amiss. For instance, if traces of drugs/human flesh/etc are sniffed out, they sit down and happily wag their tail. Barking and such only happens on cop shows. I'm not saying the victim possessed something problematic, but I'm offering that tidbit.

Police trust their dogs too much. I was stpped one time for a roadside inspection. They were looking for drugs and insurance registration. I have insurance and do not do drugs. Their dog said otherwise and they wanted to inspect my car which I said fine because I had nothing to hide. After removing my suitcase from the trunk and strewing by belongings all over the road the dog said it was in the car. They litarally tore my car apart. Took out the spare tire, the liner, the back seat. the sides. Of course they didn't find anything so they had to call their suppervisor. After a long time of talking to each other and spitting on the ground they said they were letting me go. I had to put everything back together, my belongings into the car, and I was held up in my travels for 2 1/2 hours. I think the dog needs to go back into training.

Jessica Black · 7 months ago

Okay so my friend and i are sitting here watching this video and we both agree that the cops were completely in the wrong. they had no right to search his car for a couple reasons:
1. They didn't have any probable cause even after the pastor asked him why hes searching his car.

2. even if there was a reason for the cops to search the car, he has the right to refuse to not let them search it if they dont have a warrent. Just like if he was in his house, they couldn't do anything without having a warrent unless the pastor voluntarily invites them in.

and even if the pastor did do something he was not proposing a threat to the police therefore he shouldn't have been tazed or had his car windows broken.

its insane.

1. Cops had right to check his vehicle even though they did not have any warrants. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_exce.... Fouth amendment is suspended when it comes to motor vehicles.

2. He was tasered because he was being uncooperative and he was not following the law as set by constitution (see the point above). The officer clearly asked him to get out of the car and he did not. What was the officer expected to do? Sing him a lullaby?

PhoxiePhox · 7 months ago

The man was in the wrong in that it is entirely legal for an officer to search a vehicle without a warrent. However, I highly doubt the K9 unit showed any hint that there were drugs or people in the car.

K9 are trained in specific search patterns, and when they find something, depending on the trainer, they go into a sit-stay or down-stay NEAR the object until called away. It sounds as though the K9 was not even brought into the vicinity of the car for a proper search. When outside the vicinity of a search and the dog "senses" something they will go on alert, meaning there will be a bark, generally deep and short. The man heard nothing, meaning there was no alert.

Sounds like the BP wanted to search, probably quota, he would not get out, so they made something up. Patrol gets called in, has one side of the story, and for safety they will agree with the BP. Things escalated to the man getting abused and everyone involved looking like asses.

I bet there will be repremands and if there are any firing it will only be on the BP side of things and not the highway officers involved.

Vehicle Searches are not protected under the 4th amendment, as well as numerous others, such as stop and frisk. To be honest, police can be a pain in the ass, but you should always cooperate with them. It will always make the amount of time you must converse with them shorter, and everyone is happier by that. I believe the cops acted in a completely necessary and legal way, you are lucky nothing more happened.

On Tuesday, April 21st 2009 the US supreme court issued a ruling that states that vehicles cannot be searched without a warrent unless the person is close enough to the car and believed to be a threat or that the person is placed under arrest and it is believed that evidence to support the arrest could be in the car (ie you are arrested on drug charges and they believe that there are drugs in the car). I'm not saying that the guy shouldn't have complied with the cops, but under this new ruling, I would certainly say he has a lawsuit....easy

Sebastian · 7 months ago

If a K9 detects any form of drug or a dead body, it doesnt bark or move around or anything. They are trained to just sit on the spot telling others they have found something by just siting down.
And i think you are stupid when you have 4-5 police officers telling you to get out of the car, if they just need to look in the trunk, especially if they have suspiscion, e.g you not answering their questions. If you wanted to go home so bad you wouldve let them do that and then be on your way, but no, you gotta make a fuzz about it. I think this was mostly your own fault. But i agree that this was a brutal act by the police officers and couldve been handled allot more smoothly.

Smart One :) · 7 months ago

Look, a cop can't come to you and search you just because he thinks you have something. The cop has to have either one or more of the five senses:
1. Sight
2. Smell
3. Feel
4. Hearing
5. Taste

Also, dogs are trained to bark at any drugs, dogs do not just stand there and senses if there are drugs, it moves around and barks if they smell anything. I mean put yourself in the dog position, if there is a crime in front of you, what do you do? Stand there and wait until people realize there is a crime, or say something about it?

Am I mistaken, or was it mentioned that this was a US border crossing? If so, then this is one of the exceptions to the "search warrant rule" based on supreme court precedent rulings. Law enforcement does not need probably cause to search any incoming person or vehicle/boat/etc. The minister was trying to assert a right that he did not have. When entering at any US border crossing, you are subject to search. Even if it may seem completely random or if you are a US citizen.

However, I do agree that the deployment of the tazer was dramatic given the number of personnel available at the time. Conversely, the tazer is deemed an "intermediate weapon" and not as lethal force. It can be used (in my state) in cases of active resistance or active aggressive resistance. The minister looked to be a classic "passive resistance". They could have opened the vehicle, again gave him to opportunity to exit and then physically attempt to remove him. If he actively resisted, i.e. physically pushing/pulling away from them, then the tazer would have been appropriate.

SnESxOnE · 7 months ago

Yeah, this is why I dont respect the police. Stuff life this happens everyday where im from, and a majority of it goes unreported because the police can hide their asses so well. The other day there was a shooting out front of my house, and me and my friend were in my house. And when my friend went to go walk home, the police asked him who had the gun, and he explained that he didnt know, as he was inside with me. The police asked him again, and he said he didnt know, and one of the officers hit him in the eye, and knocked him over, and the officer and another officer kicked him while he was on the ground. Stuff like this pisses me off. But what can you really do? They cover their asses so well. This guy is lucky he has it on tape.

Jack · 7 months ago

UPDATE: My apologies. I hadn't watched the second video. If this was a "check point" on US soil, then he would have the right to refuse a search. However, if the canine hit on his car (erroneously or not, that would be shown in court if it proceeded that far) that is sufficient probable cause to search the car.

There was a recent case that I believe made it to the US appellate level affirming the use of dogs, but there continues to be further litigation regarding this issue and none has set a precedent of a "yes" or "no" for the use of search dogs as sufficient probably cause.

Nonetheless, the officer informed him of the dog's hit on the vehicle which is sufficient for a search.

So, if probably cause was articulated by law enforcement in addition to his demeanor raising their suspicions, his refusal to cooperate constitutes obstruction of the officers completing their duties. The probably cause and accuracy of the canine can be argued later in court.

The good minister took a situation that could have been litigated as a civil issue and turned it into a criminal law violation.

If you refuse a search you're automatically assumed to be guilty end of story. But there was no need for them to beat the guy up or taze him. The guy sounded guilty anyhow - but who knows?

c-rage · 7 months ago

First off, check the website a guy posted early on in the comments. This guy is ridiculous. It's like he is looking to pick fights with cops, just to get footage of them "abusing their power."

Second, there was no excessive force used. He was told what he was being taken out of the car for, therefore he was resisting after the fact. He was then immoblized by tazer for fear of being physically confrontational. He was then pulled to the ground, with force, and handcuffed.

The only thing wrong with it is people saying he was beat up. His face is that way from the force to the ground, which is standard procedure in hostile situations for cops.

Where in the US are you from where most officers you meet are nice? Just getting a few speeding tickets almost every experience I've had in MA they've been arrogant and demeaning. My first ever ticket I was 17, I was speeding irresponsibly, I'll admit. The officer stated I "took too long to pull over", he was by his lonesome, extricated me from the car, cuffed me, folded me over my hood and tore my car apart searching for whatever it was he didn't find.

Some of you are right, civil rights are being eaten away, a friend of mine was put on a no fly list after 9/11, seemingly for no reason. It took him two years I think and many many phone calls/meetings to get off it.

Pyromaniac21 · 7 months ago

This is the United States of America. Jesus Christ only did miracles if you're a Christian and, last time I checked, there was a thing called "Freedom of Religion." On top of that, you can't get mad at someone if they insult a religion because maybe they're insulted by YOUR religion. There's also something called "Freedom of Speech" (1st amendment, anyone?) which allows him to say that and you can't tell him otherwise, so why be a douche? Personally, I think that anyone who tries to say that the incident above WASN'T police brutality, obviously either: 1.) doesn't know the REAL rules and the extent of them, so they should do some research, or 2.) is supportive of kicking some poor guys ass for no reason. Take your pick. No unarmed person who is simply trying to figure out what's going on should not be subjected to shit like that. Just because the cops ASSUME (break it down...) that the poor guy knew the rules, doesn't mean he did. Aside from the fact that they broke just about all of the ones surrounding pedestrian rights. Everyone gets an opinion, but you can't tell someone that they can't do something that the have the right to do. So don't be such an ass.

He was playing the fourth. Completely within his rights. Resistance was next to none, other than minor verbal defiance. Tazing him THREE times, and 'stepping on his head'. That kind of defiance does NOT require a guy getting 11 stitches.

lonixoxo17 · 7 months ago

C-Rage, that may very well be; however, no matter how much somebody tries to "pick a fight" with cops, they should never be treated like this man was. These police officers definitely abused their power. Even more, they acted like complete douchbags.

Do you also think that a guy has the right to rape a girl if she flaunts her body in front of him enough? As a woman, I have the right to "test" a guy all I want, but it's up to him to elicit some self-control. The problem here isn't the stubborn dude telling his story, the problem is the police officers and their inability to think as rational adults. This is NOT justice. These cops provide more threat to our public than safety. Personally, I am disgusted by their behavior.

Oh, and on a completely different note:

Jco · 7 months ago

I'm sorry to insult your intelligence, but you cannot honestly believe that an officer of any kind should be allowed to falsely make up "clear and present danger" simply because they meet a well minded citizen that knows his rights. Its not necessarily that rights are dead, its just that not enough people in America know their rights like this man (and are proud to verbally fight for them), and there are too many people like you who think a cop should do whatever he pleases in order to fill a quota (completely waste time and get back at a man who is smarter than him). Cops get away with this because people like you think they have the right because they are law enforcers. But the real news is, they have to find someone who is ACTUALLY breaking the law in order to enforce it. Don't worry though cops can be your best friends in times you really need them, but MAKE SURE YOU SPEAK UP AND KNOW YOUR RIGHTS, THEY EXIST AS LONG AS LONG YOU REMEMBER THEM. That is the only reason this man is not in jail now, he knew his rights, spoke up, and did nothing wrong. I praise him for being strong and taking a beating so people can see what atrocities can happen.

"When a country has many laws, the end is near" Madman Nietzche quoting a wise Chineese man.

Is not the problem that citizens do not know the hierarchy of the law? or the law itself?

Is there not so many laws that Police have executive privilage to "make it happen," then let the lawyers figure it out as "I have met my quota" ??

In Cleveland, they recently decided to pick up an old "no spitting" law that was on the books but had not been enforced in years, so they gave out "spitting tickets" on street corners for the end of the month.

So in conclusion, is this conversation about "what is" or the next step, ethically, "what should be"?

KeaR · 7 months ago

The officers surely overdid it.
Sure, the man shouldn't refuse to cooperate. If he didn't have anything forbidden in is car, then he had nothing bad to hide.

But the officers didn't have to tase him and beat him up that bad (if its all true what he said). I don't know what rights the police officers at the borders of the USA have (since I am German), but that is too much.

Peter · 7 months ago

What are you people thinking, the issue here is the complete abuse of power by these cops. They clearly lied about the drug dog signaling a positive. This is everyday behavior with cops, lying in order to violate citizens' Constitutional rights. All for the love of this idiotic drug war that has not stopped one person from getting drugs in this country. Who cares where you stand on drug use, the clear and simple fact is the drug war is an utter failure, we must find another way to get people not to use drugs.

Moreover, what the hell is the Border Patrol doing stopping and American citizen while he is driving on US soil? The Constitution does not allow the federal government to do these things. It is Unconstitutional. Are you people insane? You think it is acceptable to be randomly stopped and have to answer questions and have drug dogs sniff your car in the United States of America? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!!

And where the hell is the media on this one. All day I have been seeing crap about some hardened criminal piece of crap that got kicked in the head by a cop after a police chase, but this makes no news. That's what you get for being white and a pastor in this country when it comes to media coverage.

Bottom line fact ladies and gentlemen, it is constant behavior like this that makes the majority of Americans fear/hate the police. If they are not beating you up or violating your rights they are working as tax collectors for the government giving you tickets. It's sad that we no longer trust and respect our officers the way we did in the past.

(yes, i like being the devils advocate)

They could have taken your camera and just erased what they wanted to while you were in custody. This guy is obviously so arrogant that he thinks he is above the law - great way to show the love of Jesus. He should have been respectful of the law and allowing them to search his car. Even if the police went overboard this guy was caused the entire event by not doing what the police asked him to do to start with.

I hate to be the one to remind you but the Supreme Court ruled that basically a roadblock or bordercheck is a place where probable cause and Bill of Rights means NOTHING. Once the fates give the government some reason to notice you it's BIG trouble. They don't worry about those cameras because they know the truth. They own you,your car, your house, your family. They can do anything they want to you and yours including kill you ;and instead of anger and uprisings, there will be millions of people debating how you deserved it! When will people realize the US is a plutocratic dictatorship wrapped in a media campaign of self-indulgent naivety to fool you into believing that your voice matters,your choice matters and that the government is your friend. Face it, our first hand experience with meetings between the police and citizens is limited to Officer Dare! Those who point out blatent government murders are labled loonytoons.

studente · 7 months ago

to all of you people who say the dog did not react. we are assuming he was watching the dog at all times it was around his car. if the dog was near the trunk or behind the car, he could not see it. the dogs are not always trained to bark when they detect something. they may instead lay down or maintain a body position. both of those he would not be able to see when the dog was directly behind his car. if the dog started barking or attacking it would be a hazard to the surrounding people.
also for the cops breaking the window, in the video you can hear the cop and see his mouth moving as he puts the hammer to it. he said, "close your eyes" the guy knew the window was about to be broken. he was being civil disobedient, which many people think they have a right to do. and they do, but most forget this idea is based on the idea of being punished for being disobedient, and you bring attention to the situation when you are punished. This man maintains he did nothing wrong and was not made aware of his crime. they told him he was resisting arrest and was impeding justice. he was constantly talking and would not listen to the answer from the cops.

Shawn · 7 months ago

There are several flaws to your argument. First, the man asks to see the dogs reaction which indicates that the dog has found something. He does not assume that the dog will bark but rather requests to know what the dog's reaction will be in order to observe said action. I find it very unlikely that the dog had any reaction whatsoever due to the complete lack of drugs or human bodies in the car.

Second, how can the sole reason for a person to be arrested to be "Resisting Arrest"? That would be like putting the cart before the horse.

Additionally, how can a person who is exercising the constitutionally granted RIGHTS be accused of Impeding Justice? When did the election of one's right become a criminal offense?

The cops, in this situation, with overblown egos did not like an intelligent person declining to jump through their hoops. While it may have been antagonistic of the guy to refuse cooperation with the border patrol it is also is RIGHTS under the United States Constitution to refuse to be questioned without a lawyer present or to be search with no probable cause. As far as the dog is concerned; that is the most obvious abuse of power in this whole scenario; instead of granting this person his rights as an American, they instead concoct a BS false positive alert from a dog. Every police officer associated with this should be fired, in my opinion.

Just one offense; illegal restraint, by handcuffing him is enough to put that officer in prison for ten years where I live. This is a scenario where the pastor actully had the right to fend for his life by any means possible, and still he didn't.

My first thought...The Baptard pastor is Antagonistic. Second thought...prick. No wonder I won't go to any church. When entering a military base last year, they told me to get out, I got out, opened my truck and hood, they searched, they said "Thank you Sir and I went on my way. Why? Because I have respect for officers and the military who protect our lives and freedoms. Why would I object if they request to search my car. Why wouldn't you just get out and show them you had nothing to hide instead of being antagonistic and beligerent. The pastor acted like a spoiled little prick to those in authority. I was brought up to respect authority not some self-serving superstition believing self-rightious a-hole. He got what was deserved and I feel that the officers did what was necessary to protect their environment. It sure seems like he was hiding something with his attitude. And he whines about his rights. People like him need to be tasered. Prick.

Refusing to answer questions and then refusing to leave your vehicle, regardless of their reasoning, means you're about to get subdued.

Basically the pastor had nothing to hide so he should of just got out of his car, plus, i also reckon 99% of you would have got out of your car as well. Yes we all agree that the officers used to much force but it could easily have been avoided if the pastor wasn't so stubborn. People saying, 'the police have to much power' well you can shove that up your arse. Crime is getting worse and worse and the police struggle to deal with it because of powers they don't have.

The pastor should have been smart enough to know that getting out of his car would have been a lot quicker than being forcefully put under arrest. Anyone who doesn't realize this is retarded.

He had the camera facing the cop who broke the window saying he had his eyes closed and then in the second video he said he had his hands over his face the whole time... Gets a little fishy, not to mention the mutiple tazor shots or the cop "putting his full weight down" because I would assume it would have been worse with a full size male smashing your face into glass rather than a few cuts on your forhead--- overall this guy has flaws in his story, I believe he just want attention and this is it...

Fiddle Faddle · 7 months ago

You can see his reflection after he moves the camera, his hands are covering his face. I would also think that the cuts on his face are more from gravel as they bashed the windows into the car, there would still be glass on the ground but not excessive amounts where his head would be once they detain him. They also seem to either lift him or push him several feet forward on the ground which could be the scrapes as well.

Also, you think he did it for attention? Are you serious?

Excessive force: probably. they could probably have taken him without the head injuries, but it's tough to tell if he resisted.

The pastor did something that I wish others would do. He exercised his rights as granted to him by the United States of America. Some may say that he was being resistant to the police officers. But was that not the entire point. Those who do not exercise there privileges lose them. The pastor did not scream profanity or say cop jokes; he wanted to exercise his rights. Being a pilot I myself have been searched many times by the TSA for little or no reason. Every time it happens it makes me sad, I have no recourse of action, or my job would be lost. I have lost my rights as an individual because I am nice. My question to you is will you stand quietly while your own rights are being controlled by others.

I believe that both were wrong and right. Probable cause is meant for life or death, threats. If all of a sudden a guard dog barks, ur gonna think something could or is going to happen. So it was the cops right to react on probable cause, but for them to break the glass, NOT RIGHT!!! Tazer him with two different guns, but we only saw one, but to break the glass and inflict harm on someone who did not physically resist. He did resist but on counts of getting an answer on the reason y they wanted to search the car. Speaking, where is it in the law where cops CAN SEARCH A CAR, they only can search UR CAR if they SEE WITH THERE OWN EYES!!! Its in the books, education and law books. They can get a warrant for a building or house, or anything in that category, but there is no such warrant for vehicles/cars. I say it was wrong for the cops to overact, but the priest should had stepped out of the car if he was completely innocent. Not the priest fault he knows laws those cops bend to make it seem like they are right.

First of all, the guy should have gotten out of the car. He doesn't have a right to demand the cops to do what he wants. He has no right to tell them to bring the dog back in. If indeed the dog didn't suspect something, the time to fight it is in court, not at the scene. Then he basically gives himself up, "Oh the reason they said that is because I wouldn't answer their questions." (0:23 of first video)

Ok if you are innocent then why wouldn't you answer their questions? It's their job to make sure some one doesn't bring in drugs/weapons/people illegally. By refusing to answer the questions you are basically giving them a reason of suspicion. That right there is probable cause for them to search the vehicle.

Then at 0:28-0:35 he is getting all lippy with the cop.

"Don't you have to put them under arrest for something specific?"
"I'm a police officer I am ordering you out of the car."
"Will you answer my question, police officer?"

The way he says "police officer" he has a tone in his voice giving the man no respect. It's funny how he doesn't want to answer their questions, but yet he expects them to answer his.

Then he is like "I have to OBEY you?" Yes you have to obey him. It's his job to investigate this sort of thing. And you are making it difficult.

As for him being pulled out of the car. He says that one of the officers "steps" on his head. But in the video the only officers around him are all kneeled down on top of him.

So if there was any pressure to the top of his head as if he was being stepped on like he said, it was probably just them kneeling on him to hold him down.

As far as posters go:
Ricky at 9:07 PM you said "except that not answering questions has nothing to do with probable cause. its our 15th amendment right."

If you are giving an Officer a reason of suspicion that is probable cause. Also the 15th amendment states: "Forbids the federal government and the states from using a citizen's race, color, or previous status as a slave as a qualification for voting."

I don't know what this has to do with a slave voting?

he does not need to give respect to a badge when the badge is disrepecting him. period. no reson for that kind of use of force (if the cops forget their use of force training then the use of force model is in the back of their notebook). If this person took this to court he would have a good chance of winning a civil case against each of the officers involved, namely the trigger happy fag.


ps. i have law enforcement background (not that matters).

Everyone who thinks the police officers had probable cause is unbelievably stupid. There was NO probable cause, and the officers also had an option to return the dog and show the pastor that the dog detected something in the vehicle. The officers had no right to horribly abuse this man and should go to jail. For those of you who believe the officers acted correctly, what is the next step in government enforcement? What other rights will the citizens of the United States be surrendering in a few years. Also, those who are torn on the issue must be suffering from a clear "blame the victim" attribution bias (simple psychology). Everyone saw the videos, everyone knows the facts. This man DESERVES retribution.

Show me in the video where this man was abused in any way outside of standard procedure.

That was not close to standard · 7 months ago

11 stitches in his head. Before you are arrested or as they are in the process of arresting you they read you your rights. They had no reason for his arrest other than that he was not obeying them to leave his vehicle which he does not have to. Also look on his 22 min video and you shall see a BP officer clearly stating that he has no clue why he is being detained. Same cop who called him a terrorist. Then they try and switch it around and then start asking for his drivers license. When he does not comply to that you can see some relief come over that cops face as like we really got you now. Those cops are just plain non professional. They also tried to intemidate the man earlier when the cop did the mall cop move where he acted like he was gonna draw his gun on the man. LOL these cops are given guns . Sorry man but how is yanking you out of your vehicle standard procedure when the man has not commited any crime, That senior officer who responded i feel sorry for as he came on the scene late and had some BP officers tell him a lie about the false positive. Also if an officer can not handle a little lip from an individual without holding thier temper they should not carry a gun or tazer. Give them a stick or whislte.

I was always taught that no matter what, on the side of the road the cop will always win….right or wrong he will go home and you will go to jail. So here is my observation on this matter.
1) comply with the request to get out and let them search the vehicle
2) get the names and badge numbers of every officer involved once the search is over.
3) go immediatelty to the nearest US ATTORNEY GENERALS office and file a formal complaint against each and every officer involved EVEN IF ALL THEY DID WAS WATCH.
4) contact a good bulldog lawyer ands file individual suits against each officer personally for violation of your civil rights and against the departments involved for each and every offense involved.
5) contact the news media and show them the tape. The media coverage alone will put every one of the police involved in a bad light to the public and they don’t want that.
6) make sure that each lawsuit is seperate that way each officer will have to hire a lawyer to represent him/her out of their own pockets and even if they win it still costs them.
7)make the amounts requested outragiously high so as to attract the attention of the media again

BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO YOU ARGUE WITH THE OFFICER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE IS THE LAW AND YOU WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO BEAT HIM IN COURT

Brian · 7 months ago

I am not a lawyer but the man was not in an aggresive state and there was no reason for multiple tazings or the lethal force. They could have broke his neck or blinded him. The man should have complied but it is his right to refuse the search. The police are supposed to protect us and the border agents are supposed to secure our borders and protect us. The abuse was uncalled for and they all should be charged and jailed by the same courts as we are, If the dog did not alert on the car like was said that is dishonest and If they were laughing and mocking the man then officers should be put to death.

big Al · 7 months ago

Tough one, they both incited each other...the pastor was only using his legal citizen rights however police officers are trained to make your rights vanish if they wish it so. I have no trouble believing that they did fake the dog's reaction just to get cause to search that guy's vehicle just because he did not give them permission right away. In the reality of things our legal rights matter little. When the law officers decide they are taking you it is only a matter of time until they do what they want with you. Sad situation since the founding fathers of the constitution had a different view of how things should be.

Sam · 7 months ago

You have to realize that when a sniffer dog detects something (drugs, etc) it is definitely obvious so anyone watching, not just the BIASED dog handler. These dogs are chosen and trained because they have an almost crazy drive to find "their" ball/toy. To train the dog the trainer makes the dogs toy smell the same as the items they are looking for in peoples vehicles. The dog then associates these smells with its ball that it desperately wants to find.
Sniffer dogs aren't trying to find drugs, they are trying to find their ball which has the same smell!
The handler can also train the dog to scratch at a car or even the bare ground on command (usually "go on, get it, get it) in order to create reasons for probable cause.
So basically if they go as far as to get out the dog they are going to get into your vehicle and search it one way or another. Honest or not.

george · 7 months ago

I think this guy is a big turd. He is responsible for wasting cops time and resources which basically means wasting taxpayers money. If he did not have the drugs, then he should have opened his trunk. What else is border police expected to do? Let me tell you something. They are expected to check your vehicles. May be they had a reason to suspect him. May be he was behaving erratically. May be he winked at them. May be he was stuttering while talking to them

I think that this guy planned everything out. He is probably planning to sue Border Patrol and get huge money out of them (again taxpayers money). That is why he must have behaved erratically and in a strange way when they stopped him. I don't think anybody is stupid enough not to open the car door even when you see 5 cops charging you with hammers and tasers in their hands.

Also there is a reason why cops are not supposed to show you the proof of cause while doing the check. Hell, they are there for doing the check and maintaining the security. They are not there to get into an argument with every douchebag in order to convince him. Mr. Pastor, the courts and lawyers were made by God for this purpose only.

Honestly the pastor was being a dick. If there's nothing that you're hiding, why not just get out of the fucking car and let them have a look..... what, was he hiding catamites in the backseat?

Mr. C.C. · 7 months ago

Cypress you truly think that Pastor Steven Anderson is at fault? You are a fucking moron. It took eight supposed highly trained cops to take down a non-violent person who wasn't resisting arrest. If it takes eight men (I use the term men loosely) to take down one guy than they are not very good at non-violent conflict resolution. This is just another case of cops using force when using force isn't necessary. The United States is turning into something they have criticised other countries for and that is being a police state. You guys think you are a super power, but you can't even control control your own cops.

A few of you are saying that based on his politcal and religious views is the reason he got what he deserved. But no, the cop couldn't use his pea brain to think of an intelligent response or any response for that matter as to why they were arresting Pastor Anderson. If I was cop and heard about this, I would be ashamed to wear a badge. I you can throw out the police motto: "To serve and protect." You can change it to: "To hurt, to mame, to beat, to kill." That is what the cops in the United States are doing. They tased a women unconscious than beat her up. You people support police who do that. The women couldn't even defend herself.

It is so easy to support the police when its someone else getting stopped or beaten, or whathaveyou. When its you, your tune suddenly changes.

john · 7 months ago

Reason for checkpoints is to keep drug and human smuggling from occurring. If you are stopped at a checkpoint and asked a simple question, why not answer. No harm can come of this by answering, this is a matter of security and a way to keep drugs and illegals out of this country. Hes coming from san diego which borders Tijuana Mex. obviously they are gonna ask him why he went there, how long etc. There is no need for him to refuse to answer, all it does is build suspicion. Ok so now he refuses to comply with simple orders like answering a question. Ok fine send him to secondary so the rest of the people behind can pass and they can ask him there. Once in secondary he refuses again, still not complying windows rolled up almost all the way. Does it not look like he is hiding something? Why be so defensive to simple questions. Dog comes over and sniffs car, might of found something, search dogs do not bark growl or do anything when they find something that is to not alert the driver so he or she doesnt take off when they are busted. A dog will scratch at the surface or keep his nose pointed in the direction where it found something. They are trained this way and are not a buzzer thats gonna go off, so obviously he wasnt gonna hear a thing. ok so now he knows dog was near his car, he is told that something may of been found by the dog. At this point they CAN search your vehicle. Probable cause has been established. Why? well dog has found something, what exactly...well only one way to find out..SEARCH!! These dogs are trained to look for dangerous things only a dog wont react to food, snacks etc. It is only after a specific group of things. Ok so lets say no dog was brought over. Fine, he still refused to comply with simple questions. He wouldnt answer anything at all. Why so defensive? No reason to be defensive if you got nothing to hide. I do not condone what the officers did but the pastor is a total TARD. Police have more power then regular civilians, their right and ours are different, for example they can arrest people and detain, civilians can do citizens arrest which is no where near the same. In conclusion the police was right to want to search a man who refuses to answer simple question at a CHECKpoint especially when hes coming from an area where drug and human smuggling is a common occurrence. The pastor is right to question his arrest but wrong to refuse to comply and to "barricade" himself in his car like that. The police did over react but no beaten is clearly shown. The man is tazered and put face down on asphalt, too hard yes, a beating no. looks bad but not as bad as it could of been, just ask rodney king.

Nero · 7 months ago

I think this guy just rubs me the wrong way. But even still, I think he was very much in the wrong. He was pushing buttons he had no reason to push. And until the violence broke out, I don't really see much they did wrong. It's his word against their's as to what their motivations for requesting the search were, and not all reactions are as obvious as a bark from search dogs, I'm sure.
Once the windows were broken, things changed. He said himself that once the windows were broken he was surprised and completely off-guard. Were the tasers necessary? Definitely not. From there, I couldn't make anything out from the videos and don't really trust his word, but it was out of his hands at that point.

Peppino · 7 months ago

I'm amazed to see how many people are jumping to the defense of the "authorities" on this one. It's probably the clearest case of police brutality and general arrogance I've yet seen.

The border patrol / DPS lost all credibility when they attacked this guy. Smash out the window, fine. Unlock the door, fine. Pull him out of the car, fine. Place him under arrest (for something other than resisting arrest), fine. But that's not what they did. Had they done this, the lack of explanation might have been overlooked.

But no, these guys were looking for something to do, and had something to prove.

They tased him, beat him up, harassed him... why? Because he chose to exercise his rights. Primarily the Right to remain silent and Right to privacy.

Also, according to him, he didn't cross the border. It was a check point that runs parallel (could be wrong, but that's how I heard it). He was probably just lucky number 11, and got selected for a random search.

And yes, the dog alerting them was very likely garbage. I've been in the exact same situation and likewise, in mine the K9 walked right past it, they said it alerted them, they searched my car... a car that never at any time had drugs. I was more cooperative, but that's because I lack the spine this guy displayed.

The "authorities" blew it. Simple as that. This guy politely explained that he shouldn't be bullied into forfeiting his rights. Not something these guys were willing to hear.

One last thing... The Border Patrol only recently received a huge influx in funding. A lot of these guys were possibly new and inexperienced. No excuse.

Hey folks. I am from Scotland in the UK, and I have to say I was pretty stunned when I watched this video. Now, while I agree that the Pastor really was quite stubborn and could have prevented the whole incident by getting out of the car from the start, there is a principle here, and it's this: If you are going to be arrested for something, you SHOULD be told what you are being arrested for. He wasn't actually resisting arrest because they gave him no reason yet for being arrested. Also, American cops are known world wide for their "forceful nature" and the way they throw people to the ground etc. This video shows a prime example of how the power has went to their heads, and they are abusing that power. Smashing a window to open the door and get him out might have been acceptable, but to then tazer him a few times, and push his head into broken glass where he had to get all that stitches is brutal. They should be ashamed of themselves, and removed from the police force as well as being charged with assault! Also, to be fair, the Pastor should also learn not to be so stubborn, and if he faces similar circumstances again, should just get out of the car, and then make a complaint to the authorities afterwards.

Something you all are forgetting.

The police didn't find any contraband or illegal substances.

That dog did not alert.

The police lied.

They had no probable cause.

And the state police that conducted the tasering never whitnessed the dogs actions themselves.

The 4th amendment protects you from unreasonable search and seizure, that applies to check points as well. The notion that there was a border patrol check point more than 50 miles from the border is ridiculous in itself. This is not natzi germany where the police can stop you without cause and demand your papers.

The 5th amendment protects you from having to provide basically anything beyond your name to the police.

The 8th amendment protects you from cruel and unusual punishment. Which this guy clearly experienced.

You are such an ignorant fucking example of an American NYPD officer! God help you (If that even exists) (If not just go get smarter, so you wont be proven wrong by someone about 10 years younger than you)

TL;DR :
Police dogs react any number of ways to preform different tasks depending on how they were trained (dumbass) that means some dogs will SIT when they detect a substance they have been trained for, OTHERS will BARK, and SOME will point thier noses. IT DEPENDS ON THE DOG YOU SAD EXCUSE FOR A COP.

I think this man knew that, he asked "what did the dog do to alert you to my car?"
if they said "He sat like he is trained to do" or "He barked like he is trained to do" or any subtle variation, then he can be seized.

BUT YOU PEOPLE ARE SO STUPID:
You think because a man was asking questions about being ARRESTED that he was giving the cops a hard time? Oh poor cops, they dont deserve this kind of struggle.

Michael D, you should be DBOTD. Try getting tasered and control the way you scream. The lack of any competency in this situation really does not surprise me how those cops did that to the pastor.

I think it really is a 20/80 blame for both parties. 20 for the pastor because really, in a day and age where people are getting killed for refusing to obey the police, he should've judged the situation more carefully and just let them search his car and if he felt that his rights were violated then, he could've pressed charges. 80 for the cops because that amount of force as described and as seen on the security footage is just ridiculous. Somewhat reminds me of the cop kicking the girl in the face for tossing a shoe at him.

America, this really sucks that our own people can't feel safe and protected by the people who are employed to do this job. Quite frankly, I think all of the cops involved should be fired. Let someone who is actually concerned about protecting the public and ensuring the safety of people take over. Unemployment is at a high, I'm sure there are people aching to get a job like that and are serious about it.

You would think they would have warned him if he didn't comply and get out of the vehicle that they were going to use a taser on him. Where would the fun be in that though. I'm sure those border patrol get pretty bored and agressive seeing as they are all on their high protein diets.

I think the pastor is pissed because this happened and also I think the cops did use a bit assesive force, I mean look at the guy. He probably weights about 130 at most.

The guy should have just gotten out of his car; but I would be a bit hesitant too seeing as they didn't give a reason for arresting him other than he was resisting arrest. Jerks

Romans 13:1 (NIV)
1Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.
------
Which comes first? "Rights" as an American citizen, or decorum as an "Ambassador for Christ"? (2 Corinthians 5:20, Ephesians 6:20)

If his Ministry is more important to him, he should have complied rather than "make a point". He'd also have gotten away without harm.

No one special · 7 months ago

Everyone that is saying "if he didn't have anything illegal then he shouldn't have refused - he had nothing to hide, so he had no reason to not comply" is exactly why cops get away with so many illegal searches today. I've been pulled over and asked to be searched twice. I have never had anything illegal in my vehicle.

Both times I refused to allow a search. They stated they had probable cause to do so. I insisted on a warrant showing that - because even if they have probable cause they have to get a warrant, unless you are being arrested.

Funny, when I insist on finding out why I'm being detained and what I'm being arrested for they end up telling me to drive safe and get on my way.

And @ woody - I didn't vote for this change - this change was put in place by George W. Bush's govt. because of the PATRIOT Acts. Stop blaming everything that happens just because it's after November on Obama. It just makes you look apathetic and re-affirms the fact that you refuse to educate yourself and would rather dwell in your own land of bigotry and ignorance.

That was not close to standard · 7 months ago

The man was within his rights. As for his church practices that is none of my affair. He can do what he likes that is another of his rights.
Also i did not like how the female cop tried to open his door. What was that all about. I also was shocked to see automatic rifles in our airports. Those and future terrorist are gonna come here legally and get access to areas with no one the wiser. Not sure why we need automatic rifles at airports.
Sorry if that man does not preach what you like to hear. It's his right. Most arguements made against this man have been over what he says in his church. Well get over it . That is his right. As for him standing up to cops who just think they are the big bullies on the block and all will obey are the ones who get shot in the line of duty someday. Trust me thier reputation carries and one day a person will do that. Have some respect for your fellow man and give him his American rights.

The fact that the windows were broken out was not excessive. The amount of tazers, if what he's saying is correct, is excessive. One tazer shot is all that you need because once the barbs are in, you can continue to shock a person in 5 sexond intervals. The reason for the broken windows was for noncompliance. If someone is noncomplient with an officer, the officer would have suspicious to the reason why the person wont cooperate. Also, a dog typically doesnt make a noise when it alerts to something. Normally the dog has a certain point with their snout or the dog will paw or scratch at an area. IMO, the officers will be taken to civil court and sued and the pastor will probably win, if his story is true, because the indvidual showed no signs of any intent to be physical. They took extreme measures because the pastor envoked his constitutional right.

But what did he do??? Why didn't the cops just tell him what he was being charged with?

udumbasses · 7 months ago

I'm sorry, as bad as these videos seem, if you do a little research on this pastor you find out he is an ultraright wing nut bag. On his YouTube channel he has videos of him blatantly harassing an armed officer at an airport after 911 because he was carrying an assault rifle. He also has a video titled "Judaism is the religion of the antichrist" where he proclaims just that.

his channel on youtube: sanderson1611

Chris · 7 months ago

We don't know the whole story. What I get from the video is that the pastor could have avoided the whole thing had he just gotten out of his car and instead of sitting there arguing like a spoiled teenager. His screaming, while it may seem violent and scary, is not from being beaten or abused. It's because he's being "tazed." The pastor needs to learn how to communicate and follow orders like an adult. If he is personally trying to stand up for American rights, join the fucking Army.

hepotitus · 7 months ago

all of this was based on the fact that the man didnt notice the dog signaling the authorities. That doesnt mean there wasnt a signal. An audible signal could be a warning to someone actually in a criminal act.
This could have all been avoided if he had just sat there, answered questions, and let them search. I do not feel bad for this guy

Phuq A. Pigg · 7 months ago

It seemed reasonable to verify that the dog did actually "signal" HIS car IF the pigs were going to claim that they had "reasonable cause". These "cops" LIE ALL THE FUCKIN TIME. I've gone through this stuff so many times. Luckily , i've never been beaten down like so many others, but I'm to the point where I may flip into survival mode when confronted by a Police (Pig) with the knowledge that I may be tasered/beaten to death because I'm a Nigger.

In your white Privileged view, you may think that the pastor had it coming simply because he stood on Democratic Principles ENSHRINED in the Constitution and didn't kowtow to the Officer's Crass Authority.

PREPARE FOR THE POLICE STATE. POLICE DON'T WEAR BLUE ANYMORE. THEY WEAR BLACK , CAMOUFLAGED FATIGUES DECKED OUT IN RIOT GEAR AND AS VIOLENT AND DUMB AS EVER.

NO ACCOUNTABILITY. NO CHECKS. NO BALANCE.

This is A sign that America as We imagine it "Could be" is doomed.

THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS FACADE OF A DEMOCRACY (Really, A Corporate Sponsored Oligarchy)

They LET HIM GO ONCE · 7 months ago

I do not think the dog found anything as he had nothing to hide. I am trying to find how many times a dog will give a false positive. I am leaning that they either smell it or do not. I have yet to hear that the dogs think they smell it. I could be horrible wrong but would need an outside source. Any cops willing to chime in would be great.

Trev · 7 months ago

People,

Fact 1. Police dogs DON'T show the type of reaction to finding drugs, people etc. that a 'suspect' would expect. They have a signal which their handler will understand. That could be as simple as sitting down
Fact 2. Police dogs do make mistakes. Due to cross contamination false alerts are common.

Advice: Although you may have done nothing wrong, if you have nothing to hide why not just help the Police and co-operate. They are doing a tough job. If every genuine drug dealer thought they could just refuse to be searched and the Police would let them go on their way then...... well drug dealing would be very easy and we'd all be doing it :-)

William · 7 months ago

Bottom line is if he had cooperated and gotten out of the vehicle none of this would have happened. He could then have them obtain a search warrant. Apparently from the beginning though he was refusing to answer questions which in some jurisdictions can be cause to detain someone. He was being confrontational purposely why else would you refuse to exit the vehicle knowing that your window is going to get broken out and tazed.

S1apSh0es · 7 months ago

You can never be arrested for refusing to answer questions. 5th amendment. This man broke no law and deserves no punishment. He was simply standing up for himself.

We need to control the police. They have too much power. I do not have respect for any police officer I meet for the first time. Respect is something to be earned. Badge or not. They have no respect for us…. Do they? So, why should we just give it to them….huh? When a police officer notices that you are nervous during a traffic stop, or in any other situation which we are forced to converse with them they have the nerve to ask in a judging manor “why ya so nervous?” “You don’t have anything to be nervous about if you haven’t done anything wrong…. Right?” Of course we’re nervous. You so called “peace officers” run around in a squad car armed to the teeth looking for trouble. He who looks for trouble usually finds it. But who pays for it. We do. And for what? So some hypocrite in a uniform can get his adrenaline rush for the day, and bask in his selfish pride. IT NEEDS TO STOP!!! WE NEED TO RISE UP!!! UNITE!!! TAKE THEM DOWN!!! WE DON’T HAVE TO LIVE IN FEAR OF THE ONES WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT US!!! THEY SHOULD FEAR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO, STOP BEING AFRADE!!!!!!! ARM YOURSELF WITH KNOWLEDGE!!!

The police (that most people hate) told him why he needed to exit the vehicle: their dog indicated probable cause. That's what the judge will see.

This guy does have a history of provocation against authority, which goes completely against the teachings he claims to promote. He was looking for trouble.

That said, each officer should be beaten as they so beat, tased as they so tased, and have their rights violated as they have so violated. That is balance. That is the golden rule.

As well, the "pastor" should be treated by others as he so treated the police. That, too, is balance, etc.

I don't know you realize this or not but once we accepted Jesus Christ as our lord and savior, we forfeited all of our rights. I believe what happened to this man is a terrible thing, but it's biblical that things like this are going to happen people! When Jesus was crucifred do you think he was trying to use the amendments to talk his way off the cross? Atleast persicution lets this man know he's doing something right! What are you doing with your life?

Coldfish · 7 months ago

What does Jesus Christ have to do with this! You do not lose your rights when you are a christian because of something called "separation of church and state". I do not think Jesus would agree with beating someone like that: he seemed to favor peace. And being beaten like that does not mean you are on the right path... When did God say "Get yourself in a situation where you are senselessly beaten for no reason and I will be happy!
I hope those officers are held accountable for what happened to this man.

Nick · 7 months ago

I didn't see any excessive force. I saw an extraction with force.

There seemed to be plenty of warning. I wouldn't think it would be pleasant to get pulled through a broken window and detained by force. so i have little pity.

The use of tazers has time and time again been ruled well with in the bounds of reasonable force in cases of resistance.

I've grown sick of this "we live in America" thing. Living in America is not a valid reason to resist an armed authority figure that has been trained and authorized by America to enforce law. You may file a claim after your arrest if you want, but if you resist arrest you are guilty of an actual crime.

When a cop tells you to do something, do it. He should have allowed them to inspect his vehicle. Instead he wanted to pretend he lives in some mystical wonderland where cops are 9-5 customer service representatives with guns. That some how he could dictate their operating procedures or had a right to a "retest". As a result he was extracted, patched up, and detained. This is a better scenario then stuff i have seen from nations outside of the US.

So all you excessive force peoples, be thankful you live in America where the cops don't force you to pee into a bottle for their amusement, or just take you straight to jail with your forehead open. Be happy they provide clear and obvious warning before they go breaking windows. Be happy you are allowed to tape the incidents like this and get footage from other cameras. Be happy you can freely post this on the internet and get responses from would be anarchists. Our police do not drink on duty, and typically are not mentally damaged in obvious or dangerous ways. America has an above average expectation of its police force that it meets daily. Every now and then you get a slip up, but this is not one of them.

Disclaimer: I am not a cop, and I will not be watching this topic so responses to me will go unnoticed.

Void · 7 months ago

1. Beating, tazing, and grinding a guys face into glass is excessive force.

2. Just because a cop tells you to do it, doesn't mean you have to do it! They're not some big donut Gods in uniforms that you must OBEY OBEY.

3.They had no reason to search his car. Lets say I'm in a cop and I walk a k-9 by your house, and say, hmm the dog sniffed toward your house. so knock knock, I have a reason to search your house. Right?

human · 7 months ago

I am sorry to hear that anyone would think this was acceptable "extraction/force". The authorities exhibited excessive force. PERIOD!

If the authorities thought this person was a threat, they could have just detained him within his vehicle, and not physically abuse him.

I agree that in most cases we should respect the authorities and do what they ask, but at what point do you have to question them and what they are asking...(if he had gotten out of the vehicle, and they asked him to strip in public, would you do it, then they wanted to preform a body search, would you do it...) All knowing you are innocent.

He did not "cause" the problem, the problem began when the authorities lied.

I hope I never have to experience anything like this...and I hope you don't either.

btw: i do not hear of any broken bones, large amounts of bruises, permanent injury, internal bleeding, and hes still alive. The only injury he seems to have is from being pulled through a window and onto the immediate ground where glass was.

Brian · 7 months ago

sure you didnt hear of any broken bones, permenant damage, etc.

so if i beat someone to the point that they need 11 stiches then its not considered assault/excessive force? only if you hear of the damage listed above?

Even lying straight to your face? Go fuck yourself...This is just fucked up!

geekychick2007 · 7 months ago

Hmm....well while it does seem that the guy is being a tad belligerent the point of the matter is that at no time did the police inform him of what he did wrong in the first place. Excessive force was used, because at no time was he behaving in a manner that was harmful to himself or others. He was physically harmed for failing to comply to the demands of an officer who never stated what his crime was. I've no interest really, if this guy does this everywhere. Looking at the proof that I have in front of me, the force that the police officer used was unnecessary and merely a form of exerting his authority.

Teddy · 7 months ago

As a student of law (Yes, that's my degree), I have to say this gentleman clearly has a very good case against both the Border Patrol and the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

One taser is fine if he were resisting once the police forced entry into the car. That can easily be accepted. However, multiple simultaneous tasings surpasses the level of reasonable force. A boot crushing his head into the ground while being tased after being removed from the car, when he was NOT resisting arrest FAR surpasses reasonable force.

Being heckled after arrest is inappropriate and those Border Patrol agents should be reprimanded, and placed on unpaid leave while they are prosecuted for police brutality.

If I were admitted to the Arizona Bar, I would have no hesitation in offering my services, pro bono, to this pastor. I may not care for his religious beliefs, but I do care for his civil rights. I do care that police govern themselves by the constitution, in the same manner this man did. It is clear to me that both CBP and DPS should be brought before a court and prosecuted.

Probable cause is all the police need to search a vehicle. A warrant is only required for search of a home. The pastor was required by law to allow a search of the vehicle and instead ran his mouth.

I remember watching videos of USSR and Europe where citizens had to show passports or ID / permission slip to travel from one area to another. Guess we have it in America now to. That pastor should have told them to go screw themselves and since when do i need my car inspected in America to travel around. If that crap was going on in my state I would definately be all over the local and state government to end it.

Ace · 7 months ago

Absolutely disgusting. These stories/videos make my blood boil. Cops are supposed to protect us; what the hell is wrong with these people? Why do these things continue to happen to innocent people? Why aren't we trying to prevent these horrific things from happening?

thinkanti · 7 months ago

The thing with situations like this is it is never a good idea to argue with the cops. The smartest thing to do is to comply and then after, make a case against them if you believe they mistreated you or didn't follow procedure (like not informing you what you're being arrested for). If something like this ever happens to me I'm sure as hell going to get out of the car before they break the window and taze me. :/

Jim · 7 months ago

To the ones that think the cops we're wrong you're a bunch of idiot's if he really thought he's right's were being violated then file a complaint but you know what it would not have gone anywhere because they were not wrong!!! The one guy is correct, it's a check-point, they don't know him from a good guy to a rapist or terrorist, if he whent through but had a dead budy in the back then you would be complaining that they did't do their job!!

tkidwelll · 7 months ago

i see both sides. if you have done nothing wrong it does make you mad to have to answer to the police,on the other hand when you are a cop and someone starts acting like an ass you think he is hiding something . if the police just let everyone go that said im innocent . america would be worst off than it is .. but again i can see both sides of this

Zachery Brinker · 7 months ago

Oh, and by the way I forgot... If you have ever been tazed it is totally okay to scream however you must. I was tazed while drunk with some friends and we were tazing each other throughout the day and I got hit and it fuckin hurts dude... SO yeah fuckin scream if you don't piss yourself

Brittany · 7 months ago

This is horrible. Police are definitely out of control. The guy was clearly not resisting once he had been removed from the car so there was no need to taser him a second or third time as they did. I have no clue why the police thought they needed to use excessive force to get this man out of the car. Our country is going to shambles...absolutely horrible!!!!!

So sorry for your pain

John Doe · 7 months ago

This happens all the time in the US. We let it happen because we don't want to hamper the policeman's job. We let them have a ton of power. It is a shame. Until everything they do is accounted for they will abuse there power. One solution is that they are force to wear a camera and microphone so that if there character is called into question we will know the truth right away. Public servants should surrender there privacy while working for the community. It is a sad day because we have forgotten that the US was made for fairness and when a government is not fair to the people it is there duty to fight it. We lost the will to fight :(

just so all of you people know i have made that wire for those taser guns. that gun shoots out 50,000 volts! that much would make anybody sound like that. The adverage wall socket at home is 120 volts. and anybody knows that would F$%k somebody up. so all those so called macho men, can act tough but they know they would be screaming like that to.

I don't know how you can laugh at a grown man being tortured by others. It is unfortunate things like this happen all the time. Remember Rodney King? It's called cops abusing their power. Unfortunately, I've been victimized in a similar way. I am sorry for the pastor and glad he was able to video his experience.

Odin · 7 months ago

Let’s face it ever since the Patriots Fools Act has passes congress (where most of our representatives did not even read it) and ever since the country is always on heighten alert most of our basic rights have been taken away and law enforcement assumes that if you don’t comply with their logic you have something to hide. Instead of presuming innocent they always presume guilty.

Now I am not saying that this gentleman was doing the right thing, he clearly is in the business of stirring up trouble where he can but so were the border patrol agents and the DPS officers.

In today’s mentality we accept searches (be it on the airport, miles away from the border on roads) without any problem because it’s a fact of daily life and for the common good, but that does not make the search legal or even justifies that search. We just accept it as a way a life.

Every so often someone does not accept this and asks questions and instead of backing down when he see that the law enforcement is not behaving as they should they continue escalating the situation.

He should have gotten out of the car, taken names and badge numbers of the officers involved and then after the search driven to the US Attorney’s office to complain.

He clearly did understand that if he does not back down that this would escalate to a point where it would become so unstable that all involved would regret this for long period to come.

Clearly I’m blaming both sides here for what happened.

Malorise · 7 months ago

I enjoy SXE phil's show usually. When I saw this one about the pastor I was like wtf. I thought the guy got shafted and the po po did a number on him. But that isn't the whole story. Go look at the pastors other videos. The dude was PURPOSELY going around and getting in several confrontations with police officers. He has like 3-4 videos(maybe more I got sick of looking) of blah blah the police state in america, big brother is watching you etc etc. The guy was waiting and hoping for something like this to happen and if you go around disrespecting officers long enough this is bound to happen.

Seriously go look at his vidos he planned this to happen and instigated it for who knows what reason. Probably publicity.

The fact that he is a supposed religious leader makes it all the more sad.

I hope Phil reads these and see's this pastor for what he really is.

Steven · 7 months ago

I thought this was really distressing actually, the police are essentially torturing him for fun. They should be charged, but of course it won't happen.

Amanda · 7 months ago

Philip, the only person so far that has said anything negative towards the pastor was the first guy that made a comment (Micheal Dayton). The rest of the comments are in response to his childish post.

Hellz Fury · 7 months ago

Philip Kay: i think you're misunderstanding who those comments were for. I'm sure they meant those comments for Michael Dayton, who by the way is a P*SSY. The Pastor got tazed by 3 or more tazers and he says he aint suppose to scream..lol.. lets see Micheal get tazed by a few see how much of a man he is. It's people like Micheal who inside are such p*ssies that they have to put on a man front just to feel like a man. Either way, sorry for what happened nd i hope things work out in the end.

khamitic goddess · 7 months ago

um Phil, they were referring to the guy who made the first comment about the pastor...they say his name..michael....i would say that we are all on the same page, but i would like to add this is what black men across america experience on a daily basis...having a gun and a badge does not make you a god nor does it give u the right to harass and attack civilians. the pastor is lucky he aint dead...

Cavan M · 7 months ago

Phillip they were commenting on Michael's post at the top not the actual video read his post at the top and you may agree with them

Well, the police were wrong for tazing him that much, but it's basically this guy's fault. If there's nothing else in the trunk but tools, why didn't he open it? I know he doesn't have to, but he was too much a dick and you know how police oficers are...

Owen · 7 months ago

This is the problem when you let americans do anything involving weapons and security eventually someone innocent gets injured.
Im only baiting you dont worry.

It reminds me of the "old west" attitude to law
Officer "these are the vageries of the law, I am the law. Do as i tell you"
Accused "well I know the law and you are out of your depth"
Officer "Shut up or i'll beat your face in"

I've read about many a story like this. We should always be reviewing our police force in the west in order that we may be found blameless (or near so) when we turn up somewhere else (e.g. china demonstrations) and tell them what to do.

Jeremy · 7 months ago

I can see both sides of the story. I know you have the right to refuse for them to search your car, however you had nothing to hide and if you had of just let them search the car you would have been on your way in less than 30 min probally!

And you did not get far by trying to prove your point that you have rights. Sometimes you just have to deal with shit you don't want to, but do it and get on with your life.

I am not excusing them for what they did to you, but by refusing you created suspicion like you had something to hide and their job is to protect.

Aaron · 7 months ago

The BP agents in this case (and in most cases similar) are wrong. They can't simply destroy property and assault an individual on suspicion. He asked legitimate questions which they refused to answer.

When people allow that sort of thing to occur, it's a matter of time before the state gets confident that it can continue the abuses of power that are so prevalent today.

Laches (look it up) is close to incurring on abuses of power like this.

R. B. · 7 months ago

What they did was legal, as far as asking to search your car. Because it was a border situation, no warrant is required for a search. When the dog hit on your car, it did give them probable cause to search the car, which they didn't even need because of the above reason. So all in all, even though they were being dicks about explaining it to you, they were justified in their requests, which you blatantly disregarded.

As far as the cops were concerned, you were being uncooperative. This does not, however, justify them beating you once you were tased, since you were pretty much unable to do anything at that point.

In my opinion, you're both in the wrong.

Chad · 7 months ago

Well i do agree that, the police where out of line with what they did, i also know the best thing to do in term of them is, just do what they say and get it sorted out when your not in a high risk situation. though im sure the guy had no idea that it was a high risk situation. As for the taser comment, being tasered hurts i dont care how tough you think you are, and before you judge i will say ive been hit with a standard police taser, ( nephew is a cop) they hurt a lot i couldn't imagine getting hit with 2 or more at a time.

us-ass · 7 months ago

Dude, if you had simply complied, then all this shit that happened, would not have happened. Dont you realise that these guys on borders are under attack from people who want to kill americans????, get a life, maybe next time you will be sensible. Although I agree the force was unacceptable!

alex · 7 months ago

Not on the border line of US, Mexico. I have yet to hear of cops being constantly shot from extridaiting people back to Mexico. From what i have gathered this happened well withing the US where BP somehow can stop traffic and search people. Sounds like that state needs to look into that. Seems wrong that BP can even be operating well within the US.

alex · 7 months ago

The BP has this 100 mile zone from the border. He was traveling from San Diego to Phoenix, AZ . Guess his hiway passed in that zone. Gonna go and look up how many terrorist have crossed the US Mexican border and attacked us in the last 35 years as well. I bet the number will be 0.

The religion of pig cops against the Religion that makes this stupid person a Pastor.

Seriously... most of you people are idiots, just flat out dumb. I can't stress it enough so I'll type in caps.


GO LOOK AT THE PASTORS OTHER VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE!!!!!!!!!

For christs sake do some research. The guy has 0 credibility. In the last couple of months this pastor has gotten into several confrontations with police officers. Not only that but they ARE ON TAPE. This means unless the guy rolls with a cam 24/7 he was planning it.

The guy probably has gotten into more confrontations with po po they just weren't caught on tape or controversial enough.

I mean if you go and LOOK AT JUST ONE VIDEO look at the one where he is harrasing the cop at the airport with the big gun. Watch that video, its very short and shows you EXACTLY WHY THIS DOUCHEBAG HAD THIS COMING HIS WAY. If you are patient enough you could watch his many other ones that are much longer where he just verbaly abuses cops.


I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT RETARDS PEOPLE ARE FOR SAYING ZOMG THAT POOR POOR MAN.

HE GOT A BEAT DOWN HE DESERVED!!! THE PASTOR WAS JUST PLAIN ASKING FOR IT!!!!


GO LOOK AT HIS VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE THEY ARE THERE FOR EVERYONE TO SEE. IF YOU DON'T AND CONTINUE TO BACK HIM UP YOU ARE A COMPLETE FUCKING MORON.

MasterSmiley · 7 months ago

yeah at first (w/o looking at his videos) i was on his side but now, looking at how much he baits officers this guy is a tool. it is true how ever that 2 tazers were excessive and he is well within his rights, but that is an extreme case of what happens when you bait officers. They are human and get annoyed like the rest of us. If you are nice and respectful when one pulls you over you wont get crap, whereas (wrong punctuation?) if you are blasting "Fuck The Police" by NWA, they will have a short temper.

You know what, you're completely right. I was on this guy's side COMPLETELY, before looking at his channel. This video is very much out of context.

It's still true he had every right to do what he did, but he doesn't seem to have any excuse for just being an asshole every time he meets a police officer. Nobody's going to want to calmly reason with an angry idiot.

Maybe it's just because I'm not religious, but I always thought that a man of god (anyone associating themselves with a religion to that extent) would be a little more... what, jolly? Pleasant? Polite? He's really using the whole 'Pastor' title more as a security blanket.

People are people, I guess.

Border agents working checkpoints have more power than most officers and naturally should have more. The man was wrong for not getting out at the checkpoint. He should be fined heavily.

kno · 7 months ago

I don't know if you're aware Nick and those thinking like Nick, but just because you resist arrest does not give the right for a cop to shoot someone with a taser. That is a method only to be used when the cop is in danger as well as the possibility of the suspect putting themselves in intentional danger. That and an officer may use one when the suspect is not apprehendable.

This man, was not being unreasonable by any means nor threatening to the police officer and co-operated when they told him to put his hands over his face. At this point in time, not only is he obeying and passive but he is also defenseless! On top of all this there is not just one police officer, there are many. Under these circumstances the way this man was treated is pretty much a crime. To say that this was not excessive force would simply be ignorance. Even if he was resisting under circumstances where he was going beyond his rights, these men could have easily handled him without hurting him.

These men deserve to have their badges revoked and banned from law enforcement.
One mistake is too many for someone with higher power.

alex · 7 months ago

I agree with you 100%. Men who are given guns and the right to use force if needed need to be better trained to see when an indivudual is still complying even tho he is not. He covered his face with both hands, which clearly shows he has no weapons. The police man could have reached in and unlocked the door then pulled him out. Those police officers should be given whistles for at least 5 years if they are ever alowed to go back on duty. As they can not determine how to use thier force.

Jack · 7 months ago

If you would have just let him search your car at the beginning he would have stuck his head in realized you had nothing to hide and you would have been on your way. Dumb ass.

Gumballtiger · 7 months ago

Okay, I am not saying that what the police did was morally right or correct, but they have rules and regulations that they have to follow for their own safety and the safety of others. That is why they are police, to protect and serve. They are looking for illegal activity, you act suspicious, guess what? They are going to do what they have to do to make sure you are not a threat. I am so tired of people calling everything police brutality. What should they have done; let him go without searching him? And then when some dead kid stuffed full of drugs was found in his trunk, what then?

He was the one causing the problem. Just because he is a pastor he gets a free pass on acting like a jerk and not having to follow the same rules as everyone else? I don't think so. I'm all for the constitution and our rights, but there are stupid people who think that just because you have the right to do something, doesn't mean you should in that situation. And let's face it, when you make that choice, you are then responsible for the consequences. The KKK has the right to say whatever they want(I am not endorsing the KKK, it is just an example) But does that mean that they should? *sarcasm* "Yes, it is a fantastic idea to go to a place full of people we hate and who hate us, and start talking smack about them. That will not be a problem at all." */sarcasm* He could have made the opposite choice, and instead of being an indignant self-righteous a-hole, he could have answered their questions and he most likely would have been sent on his way. He had multiple opportunities to be cooperative with the police: answer their questions, let them search his car, let them search him, follow their directions when they told him something... If he wasn't doing anything illegal the worst thing that would have happen would have been some wasted time.

I realize that there are bad cops, just like there are bad people in every job(such as say, pastors?), but for the most part, if you do what they tell you to do, you won't get the crap kicked out of you. I've had encounters with law-enforcement and the military, and if you aren't intentionally doing anything wrong(such as wandering past a restricted zone on a military base or stopping to ask police for directions), they will firmly but nicely correct or help you correct the problem. When a person refuses to answer simple questions(like he apparently did when they first stopped him) it become suspicious behavior. Then when you refuse to let them do their job(search your car, search you, run your license, all that jazz) you are reinforcing their beliefs that you have something to hide or are participating in criminal activity. Then when behavior becomes a possible threat to them or the civilians around them, they need to act. That guy refused to get out of the car. They removed him from the car after giving him enough time to voluntarily remove himself. *sarcasm* "They should have let this guy go, or let him sit in his car all night until he chose to come out."*/sarcasm*

If he hadn't been a pastor would we really be discussing this? He didn't follow directions, he refused to cooperate, and when they tried to arrest him he began resisting arrest, and the police did what they had to do to return to a safe and secure environment for themselves and the other people. Sounds like a normal day on the show 'Cops.'

MilkyBones · 7 months ago

It was wrong for the cops to use so much force but wouldn't it be a lot easier if the guy just let them search his car? I know it has to be annoying but just let them do their job. Although it would be nice if the cops just said "We want to search your car to make sure you don't have anything on you," or something to that effect. I think both sides were wrong, but I favor the man because the cops definitely didn't have to go that far. At least give him a FAIR warning and tell him if he doesn't allow you to search you'll have to use force. Why do people have to be so stubborn sometimes? Not complying and not directly answering questions.

WTF this guys an idiot!! How did they know there wasn't drugs or a dead guy in the car, doesn't him refusing to answer make him suspicious!!!

If they had let him go and there were drugs in his car the video would just read "dumb ass cops let drug smuggler go" be glad your cops are doing something!!

A cop is an authority figure and he deserves to be answered so YOU can be safe. So if a guy defies them their not just going let him go, cause that would make them fuck ups and easy to walk over bitches.

The beat down was going too far but if this dumbass just said sure I’m innocent so search me it wouldn't have happened. Instead he says no! So that means you think he should be released?? NO!! If a random douche says there’s nothing in my car but you can’t search it that make him a threat.

Lastly if a guy is so god damn suspicious that he wont get out his car you think they just going to ask him to proceed to the trailer, no cause he wouldn't even get out the car. This guy could have been a serial killing bastard that was going to try shoot them, some people are fucked up like that!! Why should they have to take a life threatening risk and give him a chance to even reach for his pocket, when he could pull out a gun or some shit!! How would they know he's innocent? Their job is to be suspicious of you so that when drug smugglers do come they catch them and don't get stabbed!

How can I not cast a blanket over all Americans and not say their dumb when half these comments say, the resistant potential drug smuggler as seen by anyone in that situation, is right. Shut up and be thankful for your security and though cops defending you!

Drugs are in America. Been in America. Will always be in America. Drugs go through that station probably in the tons per day as well as illegal imigrants. Cop should just do his job. They beat the man up cause they had a bone to grind with him. Unprofessional . Unethical. Dangerous to the Americans who go through there everyday. That senior officer and all who was there need a serious investigation with suspension / termination.

Sue these guys, You are completely entitled to do that and it looks like they don't have a leg to stand on. On the flip side, if you had nothing to hide why did you not let them search it? I think your mouth is your enemy pal. If you would have only complied with the search then you would be in a much better position than you are now. America has been at war for some time now and inland security is ruthless. We have the east to blame for that. Somehow I think stuff like this happens to you a lot!

Blue · 7 months ago

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with religion. This is absurd, that police have the gall to do this. He had the right to do everything that he did, according to the 4th amendment.

It doesn't matter if he has something to hide or not, every citizen has the right to decline a search without a warrant.

If we ignore this right and comply with everything the police tell us to do, where does it end?

Keep in mind, police officers are human beings too, not some higher power that knows what's best for us. All humans have the ability to be corrupted, which means that not every law officer has your best interest in mind. Many do, and I appreciate those who do, but my town-- Pelham, Massachusetts had a police chief by the name of Officer Flurry. He was incompetent and irresponsible-- first shooting off a pistol during a gun safety lesson in a 1st grade classroom. Recently it got to the point where he hosted a firearm fair. A child was given an uzi to try out by his parents. The recoil shot the uzi back and the child killed himself. Flurry is refusing to comment on the subject. Clearly there was not nearly enough attention paid to the fact that a bullet can kill you.

There is nothing wrong with having faith in people with law authority, but keep in mind: not all law officers are responsible.

Ther videos are just showcasing giant douche vs. giant douches. At security checkpoints or during a traffic stop DO NOT give a police officer reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Unless you want to get tazed. Cooperate and move about your business and file a complaint. With this guy filming the whole thing it just seemed like he was asking for it, but excessive force was definitely used. Assholes all around.

you my friend are a fool. just because you said no to an officer doesnt mean its probable cause. you are what is reallying giving our government too much power it is our right to say no. once you have given them that right then you might as well be a slave. for anyone who thinks he had the intentions of all this is also a fool. you can not predict an out come of anything. he thought that one of the officers would understand him and get a warrant because that is what they are suppose to do. if he didnt record any of this would anyone really believe this? of course not because its unbelievable with out proof it never happened.
of course its easier if he just pop open the trunk to show them he has nothing. its also easier to just bend over and take it up the ass.
they should be put in jail or at least fired for doing this because when its your turn to be tazared you would be thinking the same.

Maybe so, but this is not Afghanistan and we are not in a war-zone. The gentleman knew his rights, asked for confirmation of those rights, asked for the dogs to be used to confirm probable cause. He was not rude nor abusive. He simply did not bow to abuses of power. As anyone ought to do, because it's the right thing to do. There are consequences for doing the right thing especially when it's against someone who believes they can wield un-lawful authority with impunity. I likely would have done the very same thing, and I would have been tazed, I don't like it, but it is the right thing to do.
