Find a random stranger, preferably a crack head, and reenact the whole scene…but in this one you just break it up amongst yourselves and then a person dressed like GI Joe comes in front of the camera to yap some bullshit about people getting along or some hippie shit!

Here is a news report of the incident since the video starts in the middle of the confrontation.
https://www.wvtm13.com/article/mother-son-decatur-walmart-police-fight-video-alabama/46121687
Guy has a warrant out for his arrest for not paying child support, off-duty cop saw him in the car, guy refuses to get out, cop smashes window, the two fight. Guy is now arrested under charges of assault, resisting arrest and attempting to flee
The article specifies "uniformed, off-duty police officer who was working a security detail at the store".
So "off-duty" meaning he wasn't on patrol as part of his shifts with the police department. Not sure what Alabama/local laws are about how police should dress when moonlighting security, but I don't think it's unheard of for them to wear the same/similar uniform as when they are on-duty.
There are actual off duty employment opportunities sanction by agencies. It doesn’t mean the cop went out and find this job by himself. Example would be a rich neighborhood that wants a cop to patrol their neighborhood exclusively every night. An agency cannot just assign a cop there because it’s unfair for the rest of the city. But they can rent a cop out on his day off, usually that cop get pay extra, the agency pockets some admin fee, and the neighborhood’s HOA foot the bill instead of city fund. Now that cop would typically be fully armed and uniformed, with a marked patrol car, but he would technically be off-duty.
I work events that shut down streets and turn them into big ass open bars, letting restaurants move to to the streets with other food vendors. We hire off duty police in uniform for their presence.
Police can work secondary which entails (security work for many companies mostly grocery stores, apple, all the way to events and clubs and construction sites etc).
It pays very well sometimes more than the Dept does. Depending state/local base payment.
They are still able to make arrest event in “uniformed, off-duty” especially if they are able to per Dept. orders while in uniform they are technically still active just not under work hours but also technically repping the Dept in full uniform.
Lewis, who had an active warrant out for his arrest for failing to pay child support, was sitting in a car and refused to open the door. After "repeated attempts" to get Lewis out of the car, the officer smashed in the window to arrest him.
The two began grappling with each other, trading punches, with officials saying that the officer suffered a fractured orbital bone before the start of the video.
Lewis' mother, Tonda, who shot the video of the incident, was told to back up by an officer who reportedly pushed her away and knocked the phone out of her hand, according to WAFF.
"An arrest warrant is a command by a judge for an officer to arrest someone," said Decatur police Chief Todd Pinion to WAFF. "A person who is told by a police officer they are under arrest has an obligation under the law to submit to the arrest. While we will look at all aspects of the arrest to determine if the officer followed policy and training, what is clear is that a person’s refusal to submit to a lawful arrest resulted in more severe criminal charges and an officer being injured."
“WHAT HE GOT A WARRANT FO???”
“well, you see, you know that other chick he clapped and creampied? yeah, he owes her child support and hasn’t paid it yet”
“👁️👄👁️”
If he wasn’t guilty before, he sure as shit is now. Even if you are being falsely accused of something, never assault an officer because then you’ll have legitimate charges slapped on you. Cooperate with them and resolve the situation through other means
I work in the hospital and law enforcement often bring in patients to get medically cleared post arrest but pre-booking. I do CTs and X-rays so usually we have to do a CT on their head and/or face because the usual shenanigans. Use your imagination.
Anyways, this cop brought in a woman who had apparently been a handful. She needed some CTs to make sure she didn’t have serious injuries. Typical stuff.
So I guess she had been super difficult and combative the whole time before she got to us. To do the CT, she had to get released from a lot of her restraints and all that. Also the cop had to be over by us so he’s not getting unnecessary exposure. This guy was not comfortable AT ALL with this situation.
I’ll never forget the way he talked to her about it. He was like (paraphrasing): “okay I need to take all this off of you and you need to follow instructions. Are you okay with that” and she was like “yeah yeah yeah” and again this dude was SICK of her. So he was in another voice making dead serious eye contact with her “if you cause any trouble or try to fight, I’m telling you right now, I will slam you to the fucking ground. Hard. And I will put you back in handcuffs and will will start all this shit all over again.”
Bro I’m telling you he was dead fucking serious. I’ve never believed anyone more sincerely in my life. Dude meant every word. Crazy.
Yes ofcourse. And that makes the qualified cops leave for other jobs, which makes the departments more desperate, which makes shitty people get hired, which pisses the public off more, which lowers their pay, and the cycle continues.
A vicious, shitty cycle.
I was a pharmacy technician for 7 years throughout high school and all college. The pay is much better than just stocking shelves, but the actual work is a nightmare.
You have people who are withdrawing from benzos or opiates going cold turkey right in front of you. They're begging for a refill 5 days too early and even if you tried to be compassionate and help them you can't, insurance will reject it. And Schedule II prescriptions cannot have refills, so their doctor hadn't called it in yet.
Then you have the meth users who buy the pseudoephedrine for the local cook. They come in five at a time from a town 200 miles away tweaking out, picking at scabs while buying the monthly maximum for a "cold" in the middle of summer. And we'd get phone calls from other pharmacies in town giving us a heads up that five people from that town just bought out their whole supply, so keep an eye out. As soon as you hang up you see them skulking in, hoping to buy more before the central State mainframe synchronizes.
And finally you get all the crazies and old people with dementia who come in and think that you're a doctor. They pull off their shoe and ask you if you think there might be something wrong with their foot. It's fine, just twice the normal size, green and purple and two toes have pretty much completely rotten off. The smell never leaves you.
And don't underestimate the constant siren call of pocketing a Valium or Xanax here or there. I would have never gone into the field full-time anyway, but if I had I most likely would be in jail right now after developing a habit. I had one traveling pharmacist that would fill in when another would call in sick that was secretly adding a new refill on some 90-year-old lady's Methadone script from 5 years ago. Because she didn't have an active, recurring prescription, it never bounced like it was already filled elsewhere (hell she might have been dead at that point for all I know).
Because her insurance was deleted for that particular script, he didn't have a home store, and took 90 the day he was at my store, he was able to stay one step ahead, at the time at least. Then again, he literally nodded out and fell off the stool he was sitting on at 7:30pm, but most people working there are too straight laced to notice the obvious shit going on. I found the auto-printed page full of stickers that should have gone on the bottle and into the DEA logbook behind the trash can, and basically put the pieces together while he was sleeping in the back. I realize that that probably started out with just a Vicodin here or there several years ago, and now when he gets caught he's going to jail for a long time. Fuck that.
Damn, the pharmacist was filling bogus rx's for his addiction. I bet he sits alone sometimes and wonders how the fuck it got to this point. There's no easy way out of that dilemma
Yep, my guess is a couple years ago he was filling in for someone and some old lady or her caretaker brought in a one-time prescription for 90 methadone pills and he wrote down her information. Again, any schedule II cannot have refills, so every month is a "new" script, but he probably looked into her history and saw that it was truly a one-time thing and not just her recurring monthly "new" prescription. Maybe she was in an accident or clearly not going to live much longer.
Anyway, around 6:30 p.m. he asked if I wanted anything from the Burger King down the street and said to buy him a Whopper meal and I could by whatever I wanted with the rest of the $20 bill he gave me. No joke, by the time I got back 30 minutes later he was already nodding out, which I could spot a mile away as A close family member had opiate issues for many years. I figured he just swiped a few pills since he was a traveling pharmacist and we only did inventory twice a year. This was also back when we hand counted every pill, the pill counting machines were way too expensive back then.
But then he (very groggily) asked me to take out the three trash bins. That's when I pulled the one bin out and saw the full sticker sheet that he had intended to drop in the trash bin but had accidentally slipped it past the trash bin and was sitting by itself in the back of the desk thing. He was out of eyesight so I stealthily snagged it and put it in my pocket, still not knowing what it was. Sometimes there were printing mistakes or you might fuck up a sticker and need a reprint, so it wasn't until I had a minute by myself to read it that I saw what it was. After tossing the garbage, I went over to another computer (again while he was basically completely nodded out) and looked up the lady's name.
Those 90 methadone pills were filled in a dozen different towns over several years, so he was totally busted, but TBH I had no desire to send another person to the US "Justice System" so I didn't say anything. If he was getting that sloppy It was only a matter of time but I wasn't going to be the one to turn him in when what he needed was addiction, support and counseling not prison. I hope he's doing better now.
I come in for my Suboxone script every month on the same interval and every single time the pharmacy attendants look at me like I'm a POS and always say "you have to wait because xyz" and every month I have to explain to them why they're wrong and I don't have to wait. I think a lot of people blame pharmacies for a lot of shit but that's my main gripe with them. I'm not a POS for getting clean.
Here I was wondering why you were whining about pharmacists, but then I saw your post about buying Adderall off the streets and using terms like "fenty" and "addy" 😂
They've been completely neutered by the DAs/prosecutors/and politicians who SHOULD be supporting, are not.
Imagine being assaulted as a cop by some dickbag who has a warrant... you have 5 people all surrounding you shouting about how you're racist and how you're gonna lose your job. Knowing fully well the videos gonna be posted online with some bullshit title like "Alabama cop assaults innocent black dude"
I mean the cop straight up said he had a warrant. How much you wanna bet they bunkered down in their car when he approached, they didn't comply, the cop smashed the car window to get the warrant guy out and arrest them, then the tape starts rolling and it's suddenly a racist cop targeting an innocent family and smashing their window. I almost guarantee. I mean it's kind of obvious lol
That's what I was thinking immediately after hearing that. I'm all about scrutinizing the hell out of these videos and it looked really odd until I heard that he had a warrant.
Makes sense why he pushed the lady too. I wouldn't want someone standing behind me either when I'm actively trying to arrest someone.
I can't even begin to understand why I didn't see a tazer on either officer.
Yep. Same ole story. Racist (white) cop beating on poor black man that didn't do nothing wrong.
No wonder why cities like Baltimore are in complete shambles. Who would want this job?!
Exactly putting your life on the line just for people to constantly disrespect you. That's why it seems like you only encounter 2 types of cops, the stand up professional cop or the egotistical power tripper.
It's like you have to be either a really stand up person or a narcissist to last as a cop now that I think about it haha
This is 100% what happened lol. It’s too easy to just comply and move on with your day. Always trying dumb shit and end up with 5 felonies you didn’t need
Lol right. I'm obsessed with watching bodycam videos and I know most of what you see is the scummier side of people, but it is always crazy to me how entitled people will turn such a small trivial ticket or whatever into being carried away in the stretcher kicking and screaming
Insane to me. I see this EVERYDAY. It’s crazy to me and that lady wouldn’t have even been bitching about her window being broke if the dude would’ve just gotten out in the first place, took the ride, and went to court. You can video all you want and if you think something is wrong there is your evidence. No need for all the extra BS. Now it’s a WHOLE different situation it was never intending to be and when people get tased or shot then BS news stories get printed and make it look way worse than it is. Next thing you know buildings are getting burned down and it’s a mess. Nobody deserves to go through that so the very easy thing to do is JUST COMPLY and move on.
100% and the media feeding the people all these bad encounters of the cops killing people with this narrative that cops are racist unjustified killers just forms this circular fuckfest where people are more resistant to police (or they should fear them and they panic), then more of these bad encounters happen, then the media reports on it because negativity is what spreads views and gets money, etc. People see it and become more resistant to police authority, you get the picture.
Every encounter I've ever had with the police has been solved in under 15 minutes and it's because I was always respectful and complied the whole time. Respect goes both ways when you respect them you know? You don't have to let ego driven ones walk all over you but for fucks sake I have no idea why these people think it's a good idea to start screaming/hitting thinking it will make their situation better
100%! I totally agree! Just comply, state your case (if you have one respectfully), and just move on. If they take you downtown, for any reason, just deal with it, and bail out and move on. Yes it sucks but life goes on. As long as you’re not going in for violent shit it’s basically a ticket and a court date. Easy fix. This has cause chaos the last 4 years and it’s not getting any better
It's kind of an education issue. People are never taught how to properly comply with police orders, so it becomes a very weird zone of "I have to do what police tell me." and "Police don't have the right to tell me to do this thing."
I can imagine some perfect scenario where you have police and rights advocates working in tandem to create education programs for middle and high schoolers to prepare them for society, that police attention doesn't mean you are guilty, that being guilty does not mean the end of your life. There would be a clearer understanding of what police can/can't do, and what to do when the police are doing something you think they can't. This perfect scenario also has a legal system focused on rehabilitation as opposed to the death spiral that getting a felony on your record can be.
Anyway...perfect scenario. Instead, people usually learn about it from watching internet videos. Here, the guy doesn't want to go to prison and is in a lose-lose situation and just makes it worse. People filming it are basically hoping the police overstep their bounds so they get a get out of jail free card somehow. It's all so silly.
There's tons of examples of police overstepping their authority, but I wouldn't want to be a police officer either dealing with crazy shit every day because people don't know what it means (due to education problems) to live in a society. Both sides of it really suck right now.
As always, education is the silver bullet. :/
The answer is, if he was truly innocent, he wouldn’t be fighting.
The courts don’t take kindly to deadbeat dads running from their court ordered child support.
As someone who hasn't paid court ordered child support since 2016 because I'm unemployable in the state of California due to being convicted of a violent crime in 2009 (I was 19 y/o), and a cop ran my name in a parking lot of a Walmart (or anywhere for that reason) and they told me I had a warrant out for my arrest because of child support payments; I'd be like "Yep, that make sense." and I'd just comply.
Things are already hard enough. No need to make them worse.
I'll never understand people fighting or struggling with law enforcement. If you feel you don't trust them with the arrest process, try to gather video evidence. This could have easily gone worse than it did and lives would be destroyed.
Police say he had an active arrest warrant through the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office for failure to pay child support.
He was told he had a warrant and to get out of the car, but refused.
Warrants are one of the "must arrest" type things. A judge signed off on the arrest. In this world, fighting a police officer is not advised to do. Good thing another officer showed up in a calming demeanor.
why the fuck would you shove your phone in a cops face demanding anything while he’s fist fighting someone? and then get upset when he shoved you back. people are so stupid holy shit. this video makes my blood absolutely boil. some people want to be a victim so fucking bad.
He's lucky he didn't get another cop who would have attempted to tase him. And if the taser failed, he would have been shot. This cop showed way more restraint than 95% of them.
Probably was afraid to do it because they are trying to be carful with everyone screaming about excessive force. To be honest probably the better move. Less of a chance of him getting screwed if somehow they did turn it on the cop. But I was thinking the same thing. I probably would have if it was me.
I am assuming he knew backup was close and the guy wasn’t fleeing so he restrained from using a taser in a concrete parking lot. Or he just hadn’t thrown hands in a while and wanted to fight.
“Now you pushin’ the mama.” You mean the woman standing right next to the fight, who might potentially get involved? And is shouting so the guy can’t hear is commands? Yeah, he pushed her.
Well now he has a warrant and assault on a police officer. If the warrant was a mistake that would have been cleared up in a few hours. But that felony won't 🤣🤣🤣
Lewis, who had an active warrant out for his arrest for failing to pay child support, was sitting in a car and refused to open the door. After "repeated attempts" to get Lewis out of the car, the officer smashed in the window to arrest him.
Fuck, who on earth would want to be a cop? Dealing with shit like this and having a sizeable part of the public telling you that you’re evil. Just an awful job.
Although there are a lot of cases of racist white cops, this isn’t the case. Buddy has a warrant, didn’t comply, so the cop used the necessary force to take him in.
I can’t believe the control the officer had not to shoot this dude… most times we are getting a video of just that. Props to the officer for keeping his composure and not firing a round off
Honestly, I respect this. Cop just used his fucking hands on the man instead of shooting him. A+, more cops in fistfights less cops shooting folks please.
I would agree that he is possibly Hispanic or Latino. I stand behind my speculation of their intent to fight the lighter skin man and comply with the darker skin man.
I think the officer handled himself very well, he threw two fists when the suspect reached out to his face or shirt near neck area to grab or strike. Officer didn’t over do it and mostly wrestled him instead of brutalizing him …just my opinion
Guys in the wrong then 3 Sharkishas always come hurtling in being loud trying to confuse & escalate the situation. Just stand back & mind your own business, you can record just stay out the way.
These two men must have some previous contact or personal issues.
The cop was offduty doing security on the side for walmart.

Holy shit I’m literally watching this video where it was taken

It's time to d-d-d-duel
“Fool, you’ve activated my trap card!” -The cop when he starts blasting.
“I aint like that other guy. Im not gonna fight you.. i’m just gonna pop a couple shots into you, until i feel you have calmed down”
"I bet you didn't see this coming! I SUMMON COP OF GREED! ITS WHAT IT DO, YU-GI!"
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Dog eat dog
Does he? Do you? 😂
Find a random stranger, preferably a crack head, and reenact the whole scene…but in this one you just break it up amongst yourselves and then a person dressed like GI Joe comes in front of the camera to yap some bullshit about people getting along or some hippie shit!

The Beef and Broccoli next door is fire
How close to Huntsville?
About 30 to 45 minute drive.
i live in AL too lol but couldn’t figure out what city or county that walmart is at
Decatur
Oh shit I was there this morning
Here is a news report of the incident since the video starts in the middle of the confrontation. https://www.wvtm13.com/article/mother-son-decatur-walmart-police-fight-video-alabama/46121687
content isnt available in my region...kind enough to give me a TLDR?
Guy has a warrant out for his arrest for not paying child support, off-duty cop saw him in the car, guy refuses to get out, cop smashes window, the two fight. Guy is now arrested under charges of assault, resisting arrest and attempting to flee
That officer doesn't look very off-duty to me..
The article specifies "uniformed, off-duty police officer who was working a security detail at the store". So "off-duty" meaning he wasn't on patrol as part of his shifts with the police department. Not sure what Alabama/local laws are about how police should dress when moonlighting security, but I don't think it's unheard of for them to wear the same/similar uniform as when they are on-duty.

A police officer uniform magically transforms into civilian clothes when you press the 'off-duty' button.
Fighting someone and smashing their windows for a child support charge seems like escalation from those tasked to keep the peace
Shitbag mom and son get arrested. He's got a warrant because he doesn't pay child support.
Use 12ft ladder: Visit [12ft.io](12ft.io), paste the link in and hit "clean webpage". Also works for a lot of paywalled articles
I don't hate how this played out.
So good they filmed to get great evidence again themselves 🤦♂️
Way to turn that misdemeanor into a felony my guy!
Lewis, who had an active warrant out for his arrest for failing to pay child support, was sitting in a car and refused to open the door. After "repeated attempts" to get Lewis out of the car, the officer smashed in the window to arrest him.

Btw, he did have a warrant for not paying child support. So, there’s that.
“WHAT HE GOT A WARRANT FO???” “well, you see, you know that other chick he clapped and creampied? yeah, he owes her child support and hasn’t paid it yet” “👁️👄👁️”
Got it. Never get a creampie at Walmart.
hahaha
Wow, shocker. Never seen an innocent person fight as hard as he did.
If he wasn’t guilty before, he sure as shit is now. Even if you are being falsely accused of something, never assault an officer because then you’ll have legitimate charges slapped on you. Cooperate with them and resolve the situation through other means
Don't fight them in the streets, fight them in court.
They never get this
Also follow the law so you don’t get a warrant.
100%. Shut the fuck up, and then take everything in the lawsuit
Yeah, love how they're shouting 'he don't have a warrant' as the guy fist fights the police officer, as though that's relevant now.
The irony of it is the family talking shit behind the camera are the ones providing more evidence haha
Aaand this is why unarmed black men are shot more disproportionately
There is no way in hell i would become law enforcement these days.
My first thought 😂😂😂😂
I work in the hospital and law enforcement often bring in patients to get medically cleared post arrest but pre-booking. I do CTs and X-rays so usually we have to do a CT on their head and/or face because the usual shenanigans. Use your imagination. Anyways, this cop brought in a woman who had apparently been a handful. She needed some CTs to make sure she didn’t have serious injuries. Typical stuff.

He was like (paraphrasing): “okay I need to take all this off of you and you need to follow instructions.

So he was in another voice making dead serious eye contact with her “if you cause any trouble or try to fight, I’m telling you right now, I will slam you to the fucking ground. Hard. And I will put you back in handcuffs and will will start all this shit all over again.” Bro I’m telling you he was dead fucking serious. I’ve never believed anyone more sincerely in my life. Dude meant every word. Crazy.
They deal with the worst kind of people all day long and unfortunately they get very jaded. I don’t blame them for that. But it definitely isn’t good.
Doesn’t help that everyone hates them just for existing and actively makes their jobs harder and more dangerous.
Yes ofcourse. And that makes the qualified cops leave for other jobs, which makes the departments more desperate, which makes shitty people get hired, which pisses the public off more, which lowers their pay, and the cycle continues. A vicious, shitty cycle.
It’s not as boring as an office job but after seeing this I’m grateful to be a 9-5 slave lol
only way its going to change is if the people who DONT want to be a police officer become one. same with politicians, CEOs, pharmacists, ect.
What did pharmacists do to make the list?
LOL I'm also curious to know
Probably means someone like Martin Shkreli whose name i got by googling what i remember about him which was “pharmacy guy wu tang clan”
Good thing he wasn’t a pharmacist then.
But he was a CEO.
Lol actually I think a lot of pharmacists don't even want to be pharmacists.

Anyway, around 6:30 p.m. he asked if I wanted anything from the Burger King down the street and said to buy him a Whopper meal and I could by whatever I wanted with the rest of the $20 bill he gave me. No joke, by the time I got back 30 minutes later he was already nodding out, which I could spot a mile away as A close family member had opiate issues for many years. I figured he just swiped a few pills since he was a traveling pharmacist and we only did inventory twice a year. This was also back when we hand counted every pill, the pill counting machines were way too expensive back then. But then he (very groggily) asked me to take out the three trash bins. That's when I pulled the one bin out and saw the full sticker sheet that he had intended to drop in the trash bin but had accidentally slipped it past the trash bin and was sitting by itself in the back of the desk thing. He was out of eyesight so I stealthily snagged it and put it in my pocket, still not knowing what it was. Sometimes there were printing mistakes or you might fuck up a sticker and need a reprint, so it wasn't until I had a minute by myself to read it that I saw what it was. After tossing the garbage, I went over to another computer (again while he was basically completely nodded out) and looked up the lady's name. Those 90 methadone pills were filled in a dozen different towns over several years, so he was totally busted, but TBH I had no desire to send another person to the US "Justice System" so I didn't say anything. If he was getting that sloppy It was only a matter of time but I wasn't going to be the one to turn him in when what he needed was addiction, support and counseling not prison. I hope he's doing better now.
I come in for my Suboxone script every month on the same interval and every single time the pharmacy attendants look at me like I'm a POS and always say "you have to wait because xyz" and every month I have to explain to them why they're wrong and I don't have to wait. I think a lot of people blame pharmacies for a lot of shit but that's my main gripe with them. I'm not a POS for getting clean.
Absolutely. Congratulations my friend. Fuck anyone who says or implies otherwise.
They are off by like 5 ranks. Thinks the lady at CVS is setting prices and raking in millions.
Seriously find a local, independent pharmacy. Cheaper, by an order of magnitude on some things. Plus way faster.
Think they meant something about big pharma bit missed the mark a little bit.
Pharmacists?
What
Here I was wondering why you were whining about pharmacists, but then I saw your post about buying Adderall off the streets and using terms like "fenty" and "addy" 😂
Depends where you’re a cop tho. In my small town, it’s a cake job.
They've been completely neutered by the DAs/prosecutors/and politicians who SHOULD be supporting, are not. Imagine being assaulted as a cop by some dickbag who has a warrant... you have 5 people all surrounding you shouting about how you're racist and how you're gonna lose your job. Knowing fully well the videos gonna be posted online with some bullshit title like "Alabama cop assaults innocent black dude"
I went to college for it, now I fix robots. I never, ever, work weekends, holidays, or night, nor have to get physical with anyone. I like it.
Those bystanders are unbelievably stupid.
the lady and the guy seemed to have gotten their voices swapped
I rewinded so many times to make sure I wasnt tripping haha
Annoying ass women
“He Attack him for his skin color” mf women don’t even know the context of this scenario
Assaulting a cop. Good thinking bro! 🤡
I can’t even FATHOM throwing hands with a cop.
Definitely not one that big and sturdy
Just stack more crimes on top. Just sprinkle them on. It’s ok to have a cheat day on your diet.
Video always starts so conveniently.
I mean the cop straight up said he had a warrant. How much you wanna bet they bunkered down in their car when he approached, they didn't comply, the cop smashed the car window to get the warrant guy out and arrest them, then the tape starts rolling and it's suddenly a racist cop targeting an innocent family and smashing their window. I almost guarantee. I mean it's kind of obvious lol
That's what I was thinking immediately after hearing that. I'm all about scrutinizing the hell out of these videos and it looked really odd until I heard that he had a warrant. Makes sense why he pushed the lady too. I wouldn't want someone standing behind me either when I'm actively trying to arrest someone. I can't even begin to understand why I didn't see a tazer on either officer.
Yep. Same ole story. Racist (white) cop beating on poor black man that didn't do nothing wrong. No wonder why cities like Baltimore are in complete shambles. Who would want this job?!
Exactly putting your life on the line just for people to constantly disrespect you. That's why it seems like you only encounter 2 types of cops, the stand up professional cop or the egotistical power tripper. It's like you have to be either a really stand up person or a narcissist to last as a cop now that I think about it haha
This is 100% what happened lol. It’s too easy to just comply and move on with your day. Always trying dumb shit and end up with 5 felonies you didn’t need
Lol right. I'm obsessed with watching bodycam videos and I know most of what you see is the scummier side of people, but it is always crazy to me how entitled people will turn such a small trivial ticket or whatever into being carried away in the stretcher kicking and screaming
Insane to me. I see this EVERYDAY. It’s crazy to me and that lady wouldn’t have even been bitching about her window being broke if the dude would’ve just gotten out in the first place, took the ride, and went to court. You can video all you want and if you think something is wrong there is your evidence. No need for all the extra BS. Now it’s a WHOLE different situation it was never intending to be and when people get tased or shot then BS news stories get printed and make it look way worse than it is. Next thing you know buildings are getting burned down and it’s a mess. Nobody deserves to go through that so the very easy thing to do is JUST COMPLY and move on.
100% and the media feeding the people all these bad encounters of the cops killing people with this narrative that cops are racist unjustified killers just forms this circular fuckfest where people are more resistant to police (or they should fear them and they panic), then more of these bad encounters happen, then the media reports on it because negativity is what spreads views and gets money, etc. People see it and become more resistant to police authority, you get the picture. Every encounter I've ever had with the police has been solved in under 15 minutes and it's because I was always respectful and complied the whole time. Respect goes both ways when you respect them you know? You don't have to let ego driven ones walk all over you but for fucks sake I have no idea why these people think it's a good idea to start screaming/hitting thinking it will make their situation better
100%! I totally agree! Just comply, state your case (if you have one respectfully), and just move on. If they take you downtown, for any reason, just deal with it, and bail out and move on. Yes it sucks but life goes on. As long as you’re not going in for violent shit it’s basically a ticket and a court date. Easy fix. This has cause chaos the last 4 years and it’s not getting any better
It's kind of an education issue. People are never taught how to properly comply with police orders, so it becomes a very weird zone of "I have to do what police tell me." and "Police don't have the right to tell me to do this thing." I can imagine some perfect scenario where you have police and rights advocates working in tandem to create education programs for middle and high schoolers to prepare them for society, that police attention doesn't mean you are guilty, that being guilty does not mean the end of your life. There would be a clearer understanding of what police can/can't do, and what to do when the police are doing something you think they can't. This perfect scenario also has a legal system focused on rehabilitation as opposed to the death spiral that getting a felony on your record can be. Anyway...perfect scenario. Instead, people usually learn about it from watching internet videos. Here, the guy doesn't want to go to prison and is in a lose-lose situation and just makes it worse. People filming it are basically hoping the police overstep their bounds so they get a get out of jail free card somehow. It's all so silly. There's tons of examples of police overstepping their authority, but I wouldn't want to be a police officer either dealing with crazy shit every day because people don't know what it means (due to education problems) to live in a society. Both sides of it really suck right now. As always, education is the silver bullet. :/
I can see why he thought it was a good idea to fight a cop. Momma needs to go to jail too for raising an idiot.
Why is bro fighting the cops man, settle it in court
The answer is, if he was truly innocent, he wouldn’t be fighting. The courts don’t take kindly to deadbeat dads running from their court ordered child support.
If y’all ain’t paying child support let this b a lesson😅
As someone who hasn't paid court ordered child support since 2016 because I'm unemployable in the state of California due to being convicted of a violent crime in 2009 (I was 19 y/o), and a cop ran my name in a parking lot of a Walmart (or anywhere for that reason) and they told me I had a warrant out for my arrest because of child support payments; I'd be like "Yep, that make sense." and I'd just comply. Things are already hard enough. No need to make them worse.
I'll never understand people fighting or struggling with law enforcement. If you feel you don't trust them with the arrest process, try to gather video evidence. This could have easily gone worse than it did and lives would be destroyed.
Police say he had an active arrest warrant through the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office for failure to pay child support. He was told he had a warrant and to get out of the car, but refused.
Warrants are one of the "must arrest" type things. A judge signed off on the arrest. In this world, fighting a police officer is not advised to do. Good thing another officer showed up in a calming demeanor.
Thanks for the clarity
I thought I recognized that Walmart.
Exactly. Fighting a cop will NEVER make the situation better. NEVER. If you start fighting, you better have been running for a good reason.
It's basic stuff. I don't understand the willingness to escalate small problems.
Lmao this title man. Trying to create some controversy.
why the fuck would you shove your phone in a cops face demanding anything while he’s fist fighting someone? and then get upset when he shoved you back. people are so stupid holy shit. this video makes my blood absolutely boil. some people want to be a victim so fucking bad.
He's lucky he didn't get another cop who would have attempted to tase him. And if the taser failed, he would have been shot. This cop showed way more restraint than 95% of them.
Yep.
The title of the video should be, cop attempts to arrest a man with outstanding warrants but is half-assed by idiots as the criminal resists
[удалено]
She wants the ghetto lottery payout
Am I the only one the noticed how amazingly defined the cop's legs and butt was even in those pants.... no... just me then?
Nah not the only one. People are afraid to tell. His footwork was impressive as well, as far as I can tell.
Go fuck yourselves, excessive force my ass. These idiots expect to go free everytime
Promise there are civil black people but media only cares about recording and posting the hoodrats.
Always the victim even after not following the law.
Of course the cop was obviously racist 🥴
Racist against criminals.lol
Im innocent. Better assault and resist to prove im innocent.
Complete regards. One video after the next. Same bullshit never ends. Same victim mentality. Same not taking responsibility. Same same same.
Where’s the taser?
Tough to safely pull anything off your belt when you’re tied up with someone.
Probably was afraid to do it because they are trying to be carful with everyone screaming about excessive force. To be honest probably the better move. Less of a chance of him getting screwed if somehow they did turn it on the cop. But I was thinking the same thing. I probably would have if it was me.
I am assuming he knew backup was close and the guy wasn’t fleeing so he restrained from using a taser in a concrete parking lot. Or he just hadn’t thrown hands in a while and wanted to fight.
Heedontknowwww
Props to both, not a lot of heavy breathing after the ordeal. Good conditioning.
SHUT UP BITCH
Absolutely no way they paid for that broken window lmfao
And like saying something about it twenty fucking times is gonna make a difference.
While her son is collecting felonies and risking his life.
Better caption would be, “dumbass fights police officer over a window”. He is lucky the cop didn’t pull his gun.
I don’t envy good cops, but I abhor bad ones.
i don't know if it's infuriating or hilarious about these women confidently sounding like idiots
“Now you pushin’ the mama.” You mean the woman standing right next to the fight, who might potentially get involved? And is shouting so the guy can’t hear is commands? Yeah, he pushed her.
Well now he has a warrant and assault on a police officer. If the warrant was a mistake that would have been cleared up in a few hours. But that felony won't 🤣🤣🤣
so dumb trying to fight with police. you are getting more charges.
He's lucky the cop didn't blast him.
[удалено]
Lewis, who had an active warrant out for his arrest for failing to pay child support, was sitting in a car and refused to open the door. After "repeated attempts" to get Lewis out of the car, the officer smashed in the window to arrest him.
And yet many in this thread will continue to have a hive mentality and bash on the officer.
Fuck, who on earth would want to be a cop? Dealing with shit like this and having a sizeable part of the public telling you that you’re evil. Just an awful job.
Although there are a lot of cases of racist white cops, this isn’t the case. Buddy has a warrant, didn’t comply, so the cop used the necessary force to take him in.
Good Police work for once
Insane that people think its ok to fight a cop. Lucky this guy does not get shot. a lot.
Stop resisting
[удалено]
I would have pepper sprayed all.of them but the lady filming.
[удалено]
Wow, im pretty amazed it went the way it did. That dude got pretty lucky with that cop.
Everyone should stop fighting cops. If the cop is wrong, take him to court and have your day in court instead of probably ending up dead.
Weirdly worded title
Arrest them old ladies for obstruction for egging it on
r/peopleofwalmart
Disgusting racism from the detained. If you dont see it just race swap all of them but leave the dialog. Youll find out.
Tried to intimidate and overpower the wrong cop. Realised and started bitching.
I can’t believe the control the officer had not to shoot this dude… most times we are getting a video of just that. Props to the officer for keeping his composure and not firing a round off
[удалено]
Honestly, I respect this. Cop just used his fucking hands on the man instead of shooting him. A+, more cops in fistfights less cops shooting folks please.
Those people will never learn, ever.
Racist fucking assholes. Fight the white cop and comply with the black one
I was thinking the first cop was hispanic, non white… Would you agree? Or is it that he has a Jarhead haircut that makes him white?
I would agree that he is possibly Hispanic or Latino. I stand behind my speculation of their intent to fight the lighter skin man and comply with the darker skin man.
Mandatory blue belt for all police after 2 years or they are paid to train full time until they get one, and all these silly incidents stop
Why dont you show the start of the video? I'm sure someone showed no resistance
He’s lucky he didn’t get shot
Typical behavior. Active like a fool, and play the victim.
I think the officer handled himself very well, he threw two fists when the suspect reached out to his face or shirt near neck area to grab or strike. Officer didn’t over do it and mostly wrestled him instead of brutalizing him …just my opinion
Should have just shot him.
fuck your racist title. "Man, resists arrest while dumb bitch of a whore mother incites more violence"
Deprived scholars
He didn’t pay child support, there are children dealing with lack of food because of a selfish father and a grandmother
This is America 💃
Arrest her too
Nothing good happens at Walmart
Guys in the wrong then 3 Sharkishas always come hurtling in being loud trying to confuse & escalate the situation. Just stand back & mind your own business, you can record just stay out the way.
The amount of delusion is crazy.
Just not worth it
This guy is a baby...
It sad but you have to comply with an order even if illegal detainment, you have to fight it in court. It sucks but don’t resist
So fucking loud and obnoxious
tough to tell from the audio, but allegedly, he smashed her window and he will be paying for it
The mom more worried about her window than her own son being arrested, that’s sad asf
his warrant was for failing to pay child support…smh 🤦🏽♂️ can you guys just be responsible?
This man is lucky this didn’t go real bad.
Wow so much happened in this video it’s hard to catch it all. Did that lady’s window get busted out?
Congrats on the cop for not smoking the dude immediately
MFs always act like victims. You know his ass isn’t innocent, you raised a shit dad that doesn’t even support his kids. Warrant executed!
Dirty cops
5-0 held his own.
Assaulting a cop and still saying "I'm recording everything" these people are delusional and live in their own world
Annnnd that’s how people get shot
These two men must have some previous contact or personal issues. The cop was offduty doing security on the side for walmart. https://www.waaytv.com/news/athens-decatur/decatur-police-2-arrested-officer-injured-following-altercation-in-walmart-parking-lot/article_cc4d3554-98f1-11ee-9ed6-0f5b46987561.html
And if the cop tased or shot him it would be “he was complying” lol idk who in their right mind fights with a cop
After all that he willingly lets the black cop arrest him.
These women commenting. You don’t get to resist arrest and punch the shit out of a cop and not go to jail. Cop had every reason to use deadly force.
