Complaint forms against police should not be in the possession of, nor issued by the police. They should be available at city hall, and reviewed by a board of citizens. The board should then schedule an appointment with the person filing the complaint. Then the complaint filed with police, being overseen by the board. It should all be publicly accessible.

[@cherissemcconnell8932]

That’s what I have been saying. It should be like how the jury duty system works. Except I don’t see a lot of people that would try to get out of this civic duty. It would probably be like winning the lottery when it finally becomes your turn.

These cops need prison, not lawsuits. They don't pay lawsuits themselves, and they don't learn anything from lawsuits. Maybe they'll learn something from prison. Or 2a, whichever. p.s. Before people start saying Abolish Qualified Immunity! that's largely irrelevant. First, QI only applies to civil lawsuits, not criminal prosecution, And, Even without QI they're usually indemnified, which means they still pay nothing themselves. Also, for example, Colorado officially abolished QI but also set a very low cap: $25k as I recall. But they're not indemnified for prison. Nobody is going to get locked up for them.

I mostly agree that with words causing harm or inciting fighting, it seems, at first, ridiculous. Adults should be able to control themselves and not be swayed so strongly by simple words. I struggled at first to think of ways words would bring me to get physical with someone until I thought of someone claiming they were going to harm, or worse, myself or a loved one, and if I have every reason to belive they will follow through with their words. That's far beyond mere name calling or profanity and most likely overlaps with terroristic threats.

it's called qualified immunity. I am sure that they are taught that all through the academy and in daily meetings

[@Mark-gg6iy]

Like the current POTUS, they not give a rats arse.

[@gwanael34]

They do know. They just dont care. Just like when they scream stop resisting while you're doing nothing and they beat you.

[@DoverPipes]

The Captain told them to go to the NYS Attorney General and file a complaint. Sounds like a good piece of advice and they should also look at contacting the FBI / US Justice Department "Public Corruption and Civil Rights Section" if he feels his rights were violated. I'm guessing that they will not pursue an investigation based on the allegations as presented in the video.

[@heroesandzeros7802]

The Jerseyville, IL PD refuses to accept misconduct complaints completely. This is where the police killed a child for holding a Bible on a public sidewalk and lied on their reports. Google Roger Holyfield. All police got qualified immunity and no prison time. Illinois is the only state that allows this, I hope.

They don't think they're just arrogant and ignorant. You can thank Jordan v the city of New London for that.

[@frankwallace5174]

i don't think they are thinking at all. this is all ego driven nonsense. how ridiculous

[@Rykiz_Vidz]

They basically think they are better than the majority of the public, and do not need to follow the same laws. I know this because I butted heads as former leo.

[@danporath536]

Document the complaints, investigate, and report the results to the complainant. If the complaints become a chain of causation for the next complaint, ask a judge for restraining order.

[@kennacraftjr.6513]

It's called dereliction of duty. An officer can be sued for that or be fired. It's in State Law, Federal Law and The Constitution. 🤨

[@Dnascientist42]

The lack of availability of a complaint form that isn't controlled by the same police officers that commit the violations is contrary to the accountability of the department.

[@johnwren3976]

End qualified immunity now Institute civilian oversight of police conduct

Ending qualified immunity will do nothing and the people they put on those civilian boards will be bootlickers.

He is correct, an officer cannot be a victim in disorderly conduct. PERIOD.

Yes they can. This video even outlined one case and accompanying court findings. So yes, a cop can be a victim in a disorderly conduct prosecution, and be found guilty.

When law enforcement under the color of law, are cursing at a citizen, that is EVIL.

[@philcamp8621]

THE MAIN POINT he was trying to express was "a citizen could and would be arrested for certain offences if the cop is arrogant or butthurt however a cop would never do so to another cop, only citizens" And he is correct that is not fair however he chose the wrong forum to try and make a point cops don';t give a shit they just want to get a pension .

The Captain was right on the other side of the door, but was unavailable just seconds earlier. This is why you never go to the department to give them a chance. They will always try to flip it on you. Just post it to the internet and let the people get your justice. You all know what to do. 📱📞

[@termiterasin]

4:25 completely true. Check every police parking lot for illegal vehicle modifications. They are NOT law enforcement.

The simple answer is this; if public officials would emotionally separate themselves from public requests, MOST issues would be avoided.

[@erictaylor5462]

Would, "Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries" be considered fighting words?

The problem with applying so-called fighting words when dealing with a police officer, is that with the fragile egos of so many law enforcement officers, simply saying good morning in the wrong tone of voice would be considered fighting words.

[@christopherpike8269]

How many times have we seen videos of police arresting people for “cussing” as this is public indecency. But when a police officer cusses at a citizen, then it’s a first amendment protected right. Double standard.

[@moparman1962]

This rights and police auditor didn't quite fully grasp all of the potentially pertinent laws and/or court rulings. He also did not choose the best way to go about holding the police accountable for their actions. He should have kept his voice down, kept calm and thought his approach through better. Instead of him MAKING ALL OF HIS PROMISES AND THREATS IN ONE SITTING LIKE HE DID, he should have simply kept coming back often, in different ways, at random times to file legal things and request things legally, as is his right. He also should have left when he got the OFFICIAL WARNING that he was trespassed and he would be arrested if he did not leave the police lobby. While the police WERE wrong legally, and while they WERE violating the law AND violating their policy, all he needed to do was CAPTURE ON CAMERA all of what they had done and were doing, post it online and SHARE all of it with Long Island Audit, Auditing Erie County, Accountability For All, Tyrant Terminator Audits, TOO APREE, Honor Your Oath Investigations, I.A.M. Free Inland Auditing and a few other big-following KZbin auditor channels to GENERATE MASS PRESSURE on these idiot tyrant cops. Auditors acting, sounding and conducting themselves calmly, respectfully and reasonably are FAR MORE effective and FAR MORE likeable to judges and juries later during lawsuits, period.

[@ItIsNotMeReally]

He's asking for charges to be filed for someone cursing at him in the office.... Does anyone else see the irony and hypocrisy here?

[@dusty5132]

I thought about that too. He also continued to raise his voice, interrupt, and talk over people when they tried to explain things. I don't think he should've been arrested, but he certainly wasn't helping himself.

[@ItIsNotMeReally]

@@dusty5132 agreed. Good to see the other cop getting a higher rating than him.

so why was SHE allowed to stay but HE was arrested if they were BOTH there for the SAME thing??? this makes ZERO sense ...

The first officer really was a good show of professionalism. He couldn't do anything but he was more willing to listen to what Mr. Reynolds was upset about, when compared to the Captain who immediately tresspassed Mr. Reynolds for wanting to redressing his government, by filing a complaint.
