@Audit the Audit You should really do something about your cop hating audience. I love your content and you're basically right all the time but your audience does not understand that the average cop is not like this.

[@mairewalton5670]

Protecting him from his own freedom to walk home from work without being stopped by thugs who want to know his business. This “welfare check” could have been done from a distance and shadowed him home without lights flashing. This is pathetic… I thought he seemed on the spectrum. Authoritarian policing is not necessary except in their minds and their own thoughts that they should have authority to do what they want. This kid is just another strike against the thuggery tactics of policing.

I've seen stories about similar situations that played out much better. "Are you okay? You look cold." "Can't afford a jacket, long walk home from work, supporting 3 kids, got to prioritize." "Huh, do you need a ride home?" "Sure." Next day the officer shows up with a coat for him. Hooks him up with social services because he's making below the poverty line, gets him food stamps, finds out 2 of the kids are his sister's who is in jail and that he's walking 5 miles each way in the cold and either complains to the town to get them to run the bus route for another hour or does a go fund me to get the guy's car fixed... Luck of the draw who you get responding. This would be a perfect example of a call that would be better handled by an on call social worker.

I agree. The court bringing up other reasons someone would remain silent sounds absurd. People are supposed to be presumed as innocent, if there’s no evidence you aren’t invoking the 5th amendment it should be assumed you are.

[@ObservationofLimits]

Hmm but if 1. We aren’t obligated to assist their investigation 2. Cops can lie to us I believe it’s not just your right to lie, it’s your duty. Also, if 2 is true, we should be able to claim that they lie so much, it’s basically an ingrained sociopathic response to always lie. Therefore their word should be untrustworthy in a court of law.

Because of this I do believe the cop was in the right in this situation. They removed the gentleman from the cold weather and brought him somewhere warm where he could be observed. I believe if he had of just talked to the police they would have been able to confirm he wasnt in any danger of dying because of the elements. People do die because of this. A few years ago the police here in canada had the same thing happen. They decided to let the woman continue home. They found her the next day frozen to death.

Lol. I’ve been stopped by police SIX times within the last 9 months just for walking in my neighborhood at night. Guess what always works?

Every single time the officers left me alone right after that. It only takes a moment and satisfies their “investigation” when someone is calling 911 about something as silly as someone walking in the neighborhood. I never gave my name or address (nor did they ask), and the questions never advanced beyond their initial question because I simply answered the initial one in a manner which left them no where to go to escalate the situation. i.e. responding “Yes, I live around here and am just going on a walk. You have a good night officer” and then immediately going back to walking left them without any reason to try and further the interaction.

Sometimes you got to ask yourself what you want out of a situation. In his case he wanted to go home. Was he wrongfully arrested, that may very well be the case. I certainly never suggested that he broke the law, so far as I can see he’s innocent of criminal activity. BUT, it doesn’t change the fact that he spent the night in jail. The point I’m trying to make is that if he had chosen to behave in a different manner, specifically a more sociable and friendly manner, he probably would’ve been able to go home that night and never think about this interaction again. I will say that despite not witnessing any criminal activity in the footage I watched he was acting, in my opinion, suspiciously. Simply walking away from the police is a bad idea, it doesn’t look good on you. Look at the officer, smile, and ask if there’s a problem. If it delays you two minutes to reassure the officer you’re not a threat it will ultimately save you 12 or more hours in a jail cell. Right or wrong doesn’t matter, it’s just math.

As someone subjected to a wellness check that resulted in a rammed-in door (I was not home), shattered glassware (behind the door), murdered cats (we were just getting home from veterinarian, just stabilized they required quiet and calm), and injury to me (reinjury to left side just healed from fall on steps), I enthusiastically agree one should *never* call police for a wellness check or wellfare check (unless your true desire is "homicide by cop"). After a very unpleasant interrogation for thirty minutes (why I didn't answer the door, where was I, details, how did I get there, why, repeat, angrily demanding different answers), they left only to return shamefaced and subdued and boarded my door back over the doorway (lock shattered, surrounding damaged). So... I was/am grateful my other cats were not killed, I was not killed (as others have been), my home not robbed by our noisy audience, but still furious about our losses. And I hate. Trust?!? I was shocked a cop was convicted here of murdering a man in his own apartment. Maybe things are improving. Then this happens to a young man in Plano, a part of the metroplex.
