Douche bag could have answered a question and been on his way. By not answering a simple question, he drew suspicion. That led to a request to get out of the car and consent to search.

This guy expects BPS to allow beligerent douche bags to go on their way when they refuse to answer a simple question? Those stupid, simple questions are how the trip up terrorists and drug trafficers.

All invovled were wrong. The question is, "would you rather be RIGHT, or would you rather be happy (or at home and not have been beaten up)?"

Cops FTW!!!!!! — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:00:16 -0000

cops can put you in a holding cell for no reason at all for 24 or 48 hours...i forget which one...without telling you shit. I know it sucks. But the cops were in the right. They forced him out, not for the "dog sniffing crack or something" but because the pastor didn't get out of the car when the boss cop told him to. The tazzering was just procedure..."break window and subdue with least amount of harm to your self" lol

it wasn't abuse of power.
the officer asked him to step out of the vehicle because the drug dog flagged him. by not doing so he was resisting arrest.
and plus the guy was being a douche.. it doesn't really mean anything, but cops do take this into consideration before deciding how to deal with alleged perpetrators.

They just tazed a pastor. Just because they can do it under the law doesn't mean they have to. Its called discretion. That wasn't necessary.

Some police dogs are trained to tap the foot of an officer or do something descrete so that it dosent alert the person being searched. I dont mean to sound like what they did was right but by what there allowed to do is what they did. You said you didnt want to answer the qestions and whatever else which is your right but then the dog must have told the officers that you may have that stuff.

He has every right to ask for the dog to be brough back out just like when you get pulled over for speeding or get caught in a speed trap you have the right to ask if the radar gun was calibrated with a tuning fork after they pulled the previous person over.

Dude, You are not above the law. You were noncompliant at a boarder control check point. What did you expect? For all they knew you could have been a terrorist or a drug smuggler or a Coyote. I think you got off pretty easy for someone who refused to exit his car at a Police check point! You self righteous Christians are getting out of control. WWJD? i think he would have gotten out of the car and obeyed Ceasar. BTW the US Ceasar is alot more generous than say an Iraqi Ceasar. In Iraq they would have shot you... DEAD! and rightly so.

the weapon i spoke of was a what if scenario and when i spoke of child porn it was related to the post to which i was responding, if you had read my post toward the bottom of the page you would see i do not believe that the police should or do have supreme power just that if he had in fact let them do a simple search of his car this whole post would have never been put up because this situation could and would have been whole heartedly avoided,.

The video shocked me yes. However, the guy in this video gave the Border Patrol probable cause by refusing co-operation. Minister or not (don't get me started about the church/god thing), he still has to obey the law. After watching what happened, then watching his sniveling afterward, I have come a conclusion. I think American policy is garbage, and the whole country needs a(nother) revolution. On that note, if you don't want your ass kicked by officers, just do what they say.

GreGG — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:22:22 -0000

every party in this video is ignorant!

police just bring the damn dog back or 2 seconds
and dude, its the border, you dont want them letting people through who are dangerous, why would you expect to get special treatment!

everyone else who goes across the border gets checked get off your high horse

also police do not need a search warrant to search your car they only need probable cause and simply telling them no when they ask to search your car can be cause enough

if you start being hard to deal with and non-compliant what in your right mind makes you think that the police arnt going to make your night difficult (i.e. window break)

sometimes just stop what your doing and think "is this a good decision? or should i go home and eat a glass muffin"

wow, you may be the stupidest person ive ever seen. you should be placed in the exact same situation and then after if you can still say that you are way too devoted to the police and should kill yourself

Couldn't the cops be bright enough to say, "Since you said we could not search your car, we now have reason to believe you are hiding something. We must do our job and make sure everything that crosses our border is inspected properly."?

That would have sufficed. Both sides are dumb, but when it comes down to it, you don't have rights, you have "privileges", and those can be taken away when necessary.

My Opinion — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 20:07:04 -0000

There's fault on both sides, to be sure, but if this isn't a case of excessive force, I don't know what is. Sure, he could have gotten out of the car, and probably avoided this whole thing, but for an hour and some, he didn't have a reason to. After that, I would have been too pissed to listen to them. I can understand the breaking in the windows, and even by mistake shoving his face into shards of glass, but were tasers really necessary? He didn't have a weapon (that they knew of) he showed no violent tendencies, or even so much as a foul-mouth! Again, this could have been avoided with some foresight, but then again, it's not something you ever expect to happen to you.

Re: Police Beat-up Pastor on Camera

wow — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:35:16 -0000

Did you watch the second part of the video? with the preacher apparently the next day, seriously if even only one cop had gone to town on this guy he would have been in worse shape, let alone having 4 cops or what ever he claimed beating him... It looked to me like what i would expect from him been taken down to the ground, restrained and handcuffed, not what you get from 4 guys beating the crap out of you with batons and kicking you(it ain't Hollywood, you get kicked a few times you generally stay down and then take photos of your face the next day trying to make out the shoe prints embedded in your forehead)

The video he posted just showed cops standing over the top of him, I assume they where hand cuffing and removed taser prong thingy's but the video quality from that camera could have had the abominable snowman been arsefucked by godzilla and you couldn't tell(seriously HD video people)

Yo, I get it…we live in a society that violates our rights constantly. But that’s life and we have it pretty good compared to a lot of places. I can’t stand police but I know that when the time comes and I need them I am going to be glad they are there. This dude shouldn’t have been screwing with them at a border patrol check point. It doesn’t excuse the patrolmen’s behavior and I hope they were fired and thrown in jail….but chances are they weren’t.

your a fkn idiot as americans we are entitled to our rights
there is NO law saying we have to do as police say no questions asked this man was excising his rights as a citizen and this was only state border patrol it wouldve been less bad if this was international but it was the police's fault they cant charge someone and place them under arrest for nothing if the dog actually did find something then surely the pastor wouldve got out watched the dog find something then go quietly as he understood the rights he had but since the police refused to bring the dog back there was no reason to place the man under arrest let alone tase him and beat the shit out of him, he was not a threat at all and there was no reason to think he was either these officers just wanted to make others lives terrible because they have 2% more power and to make themselves feel better. i hope they all die in hell then get reborn then get the shit beat out of them for no reason then get hanged then burn in hell again

You saved me as well growing up in a law (mom's a cop grandmother was a judge) and military background you know how any situation can turn from bad to REAL UGLY quick and he is right who`s to say he didn't have a gun or 50 pounds of Ganja in that back of his prius thanks for saving me the 30 mins of my life explaining how using our "rights" as an excuse to be a douche bag to an officer is not the way to go KUDOS!

"The police should have subdued him and nothing more"
yea i guess tazers dont count right?
listen Liberty Is Liberty and you have your rights but you cant expect for anyone to treat you nicely for defiance against authority
he was acting like an ass you can ask all the questions you want but you have to obey and comply with them as well
If you were the cop what would you have done?
heres the scenario....
you have never met this guy
he has a camera
he's not complying
and he's asking a lot of questions
if you would have just let him through then you should get fired
